With over two decades of experience in the real estate industry, Kristi Jenkins has established herself as “Your Realtor for Life” in the Greater Seattle area. As a managing broker with REAL Brokerage, Jenkins specializes in residential resale and new construction, with a particular focus on luxury and waterfront properties, as well as land acquisition.
Growing up in Issaquah, attending the University of Washington and raising her two daughters in Sammamish, Jenkins has intimate knowledge of the region’s evolution and appeal. “My love for the area runs deep,” she shares. “Having been full circle with my own family, I understand why people choose this area, why they stay and what keeps them invested in this community through each stage of life.” Her expertise spans Sammamish, Issaquah, Mercer Island, Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, and the Snoqualmie Valley.
Jenkins’ approach to real estate is grounded in integrity and client-focused service. “At the end of the day, taking care of people with the utmost integrity, putting their needs and goals first and having excellent relationships with colleagues wins every time,” she emphasizes. Her primary strategy of nurturing relationships with loyal clients who trust her expertise and dedication continues to propel her business into its 22nd year.
Her commitment to excellence is evident in her numerous professional certifications, and she is deeply involved in her community. Jenkins is an avid supporter of Olive Crest, a foster care agency, as well as the Free Wheelchair Mission. She has a passion for veterans and regularly works with the American Warrior Initiative.
When not serving her clients, Jenkins enjoys the finer things in life. “I love cooking and baking,” she says, noting that her grown children often visit specifically for that taste of home. She also enjoys wine tasting, creating charcuterie boards and relaxing with her husband of 25 years, Chris, while boating on Lake Sammamish.
