For nearly 23 years, Kristi Jenkins has built a thriving real estate business by doing something rare in a high-volume industry: she prioritizes relationships over transactions.
Known as “Your Realtor for Life,” Kristi has guided clients through decades of change, first homes, growing families, luxury upgrades, downsizing transitions, and everything in between. Her repeat and referral-based business is a testament to her commitment to long-term trust and exceptional client care.
Specializing in luxury, waterfront, new construction, and land development throughout Seattle and the Eastside, Kristi combines strategic negotiation with elevated marketing and a curated client experience. She is recognized for her attention to detail, innovative approach, and ability to bring clarity and confidence to even the most complex transactions.
Raised in the very community she now serves and having raised her own children there, Kristi offers a deeply personal understanding of the neighborhoods, schools, and lifestyle she represents. She believes buying and selling real estate is not just a financial decision, but a life moment and she approaches it accordingly.
As a Managing Broker, Kristi leads beyond her own production. She mentors agents, navigates compliance and financial oversight, and stays actively engaged in industry changes at both the local and national level. She collaborates with top-performing brokers across the country and maintains a strong global referral network.
Kristi and her husband of 27 years, Chris, enjoy boating the San Juan Islands, visiting Washington wineries, and spending time with their two accomplished daughters.
Kristi speaks to entrepreneurs and high-performing professionals about client loyalty, brand building, leadership, and creating a business your family can be proud of.
