“We first met Kristi Nelson while shopping for our house in Port Ludlow. We were impressed that she worked tirelessly and seemed to be single-handedly bringing in new buyers and causing a recovery in the Port Ludlow housing market! After we bought our house and began to remodel, we respected Kristi so much we asked her advice on the design of our project. Four years later when we wanted to sell and relocate, we asked Kristi to be our realtor. Kristi doesn’t just list a home on MLS and wait for others to discover it and call. Rather she professionally stages the property and then advertises it to targeted audiences, providing weekly reports of interest and activity. Not only is Kristi amazingly knowledgeable, efficient, and proactive about all the details of the listing, showings, negotiations, paperwork, and closing, she also is a total delight to work with (you will just love her). After you hire Kristi and her staff, simply relax and follow her advice like we did, and she will quickly find the right buyer for your house!”

“We are so grateful to Kristi for her help in purchasing our dream lot on Bainbridge Island. Her knowledge of the market and years of expertise made the entire experience effortless for us. Kristi explained every step of the process and negotiated brilliantly on our behalf. She was always available to provide feedback through the purchasing process and has let us know that she’ll continue to be there for us as we prepare to build. I would recommend Kristi to anyone who wants someone professional, committed, and experienced on their team.”
— T & S Taylor
“Kristi represented us as the buyer as well as the sellers. She was very professional and knowledgeable! We were in Oregon while the property was in Washington. She kept in constant communication and helped the purchase go smoothly.”
— Nelson & Susan
“Kristi helped us to find and purchase a home on the island while we were still living out of state. She took time to understand what we were looking for and really helped us hone in on our best options. She was flexible and worked with us when we had do adjust our showing schedules to fit the needs of our small children. We were so pleased to have such a seamless buying experience and are thankful for all her guidance.”

“Working with Kristi was wonderful! She helped us figure out what we needed to do to get our home ready to put on the market, as well as offering resources of people whom could help us. She checked in with us often to see if there was anything she could do to help. Kristi had a wonderful marketing plan in place for our home. Our brokers open house was a success with 35 or more brokers seeing our home even before it hit the market! We put our home on the market during the winter holidays and sold our home within five days! Thank you, Kristi!”

“My husband and I are so grateful to have discovered Kristi Nelson that it’s hard to put our emotions into words. She’s not just a superb realtor, knowledgeable in every aspect and minute details, but she’s quite simply one of the kindest, most caring, genuinely “good” human beings you’ll ever have the pleasure of knowing. She’s now shepherded us through several buy and sell transactions and we can’t recommend her strongly enough. We’d never consider a realtor other than Kristi. During the many years of her helping us through the enormous stress of buying, selling, moving, settling into new places, she’s also become a dear friend. I can cite so many wonderful examples of her help in so many ways. I’m happy to speak to anyone considering her as their advocate. You won’t be sorry.”
— Brian and Katherine
“During what could be a very stressful transaction, Kristi was helpful and reassuring while selling my home in a difficult market. She then found the perfect home to transition into that met all of the asking criteria. I would recommend Kristi without hesitation.”
— Ed Hallda
I would HIGHLY recommend Kristi to my friends and family...or anyone looking to move to the area and work with someone who is very plugged-in to the community, works with integrity and is passionate about her clients. ”
— Travis Pine
“Making a family move to a new state and an island we had never visited was scary until we met Kristi. Kristi not only found us our dream house in 1 day but went above and beyond to make our family welcome in a new community. She is an expert in the negotiation but also so much more. If you’re looking for the best on Bainbridge Island, she is it!”
