Specializing in real-estate since 2004, I provide high level service to my real-estate clients; buyers and sellers alike. Born and raised in Petaluma, I came to Marin County in 2002 and started my career with Frank Howard Allen Realtors. Working alongside one of the most successful agents in Marin County, I became a sponge and mastered the art of market analysis, negotiating through the transaction process, and real-estate marketing while building strong relationships with different agents, lenders, contractors, and other professionals throughout the Bay Area, and specifically in Marin – Sonoma Counties these relationships have benefited my friends and clients.
"Kristen was wonderful to work with! She is very knowledgeable and was always available to answer my questions. Her knowledge and suggestions when putting in an offer got our offer accepted. Kristen made our first time home buying experience a breeze. I will definitely recommend her to my family and friend."
"I am happy to provide a reference for Kristen Palmer as she is a stellar real estate agent. I met Kristen at an open house in March 2019 and she patiently worked with me until I found the home I wanted to buy in October of 2020. She made sure I had my ducks in a row with my lender and was efficient in getting all the paperwork needed to the right people at the right time. All inspections were set up in record speed and the process couldn’t have moved more smoothly. She is a knowledgeable and fun person to spend time with and I always enjoyed our outings together. She is not judgmental and I never felt badly about saying no to a place that did check many of my boxes but wasn’t quite right. Her partner, John Brannan, also worked closely with us during the close of my new home and getting my former home ready for sale and marketed. He is a wealth of information on the workings of a home, repairs needed and both Kristen and John have many good contacts and resources to help. Both Kristen and John were such kind and delightful people to work with during a stressful time (bought and sold in the same month during the pandemic). They bent over backwards to make sure everything stayed on track with a calm demeanor and a true caring of what was best for me. I highly recommend them both."
