Testimonials -
“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!”

“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.”

“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!”
— Erin and Ryan
“Over the years we have bought & sold many homes and Kristi Nelson is the best Realtor we have ever had. Kristi has been in the real estate business for years AND she knows her stuff. Her attention to detail, knowing the market(s) to showcase your home or property, coming up with advertisement ideas, reporting back to you on how many showings there have been & how many hits your home has received on the internet are just a few of the things she will do for you. Kristi definitely deserves a 5-star rating.”

“Kristi Nelson is an excellent realtor who knows well the real estate market on Bainbridge Island. She listens to your needs, advises accordingly, and is professional in every way. As soon as the house was listed, Kristi quickly bought in potential buyers and continued to do so until the house was sold. She helped guide me through repairs that needed to be done after the inspection, suggested a good stager, and kept me updated on interest and enquiries. I highly recommend Kristi as a realtor.”
— Beverly G
“Thorough. Aggressive. Flexible. Responsive and Fun. We are a high demand couple who had a very specific set of goals for finding our new home. Kristi lined up for us properties that showed us a wide variety of options and also shared the island with us to help us decide the best location for our goals and lifestyle. We were challenging in that we were doing most of the final negotiations, inspections from thousands of miles away in Alaska. We never felt that distance and Kristi was able to secure the home of our dreams within our tight time frame. We recommend Kristi without hesitation.”
— Rolland & Connie Reid

— Martha Grossman
Kristi remains a trusted advisor to us. We continue to consult with her from time to time regarding various aspects of our homeownership. We would highly recommend Kristi to anyone considering buying or selling their home.”
— Stephen and Karen Hall
“Working with Kristi helped take much of the stress out of our first home-buying experience. She was friendly, engaging and put us at ease while looking at the home at our own pace. We were forced to switch lenders mid-closing, and she worked hard to help us meet every deadline we had. It was refreshing to feel that you were her complete focus every conversation, and she was always on top of where the process of closing was. Her ability to recommend knowledgeable people for each step we needed to take to helped expedite checking items off. Her motivation and knowledge was a true asset in working through a difficult situation and helped make what could have been a very frustrating deal an enjoyable one.”
