Kristi Ballou, REALTOR® with Christie's International Real Estate Sereno, has been in love with real estate for over 30 years. She and her husband of 30 years have owned and renovated homes in several western states, buying homes that needed major repairs and turning them into jewels that they either lived in, rented out or sold.
Joining Christie's International Real Estate Sereno was a natural evolution of Kristi’s passion for the market. Combining her deep real estate and renovation expertise with her sharp ability to recognize and act on market trends, she helps buyers identify the best deals and advises sellers on the most effective ways to prepare their homes to sell quickly and for the best price. Kristi knows that buying or selling a home is one of the most important transactions her clients will ever be part of, and as a people-person with a service mindset, she has a natural ability to connect and find common ground with her clients—a skill she uses to help her get in tune with what her clients are looking for from a successful real estate transaction.
Kristi brings a spark and ambition to her clients’ real estate experience that you just don’t find with many other agents, and as an experienced real estate transactor, she understands the emotional side of buying and selling a home. She’s also a get-it-done kind of person, so when you put Kristi on the task of finding or selling your next home, you can rest easy knowing she’ll give your project her full attention and apply her matchless understanding of the market to yield excellent results.
In her spare time, Kristi enjoys getting out and exploring Los Gatos’ beautiful trails. If you happen to bump into her, feel free to ask her about life in Guam. As a former military brat, she can tell you what it’s like to hunker down when a typhoon blows through the island, and describe the beauty of the calm, reef-protected waters that stay warm year-round.
