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.
"I strongly recommend Kristen Palmer to anyone who is looking for a realtor to list and sell a home in the San Rafael area. After a close relative passed away, I was faced with the difficult task of selling a condo thousands of miles away from where I live. My attorney referred me to Kristen. After discussing the property with her and a few other realtors, I chose her to list the condo. Kristen did much more than just list the condo. The property was in need of substantial renovations. Kristen and I worked through email, text, and phone meetings to make all of the decisions about contractors and selections for countertops, applicances, flooring, and paint colors. The vendors and contractors she recommended were professional, timely, and reasonably priced. The condo was beautiful and homey after all the renovations were done. Kristen then arranged for it to be furnished by a professional staging service. It was gorgeous! During the listing period, Kristen kept in close communication with me about every prospect and showing. Within a month, I had several offers to choose from and accepted one that was above the asking price. Needless to say, I was thrilled with the outcome. I also have to add that Kristen was very empathetic with regard to the grief and other emotions that go along with disposing of a deceased loved one's property. She is an ideal choice for anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation."
"Kristen is a consummate real estate professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with residential RE in Marin and Sonoma Counties. Relative to the sale of our parent’s legacy house, she was always on it with guidance and recommendations from the "get-go." We rehabbed and sold the property within 60 days. She was there with us through the whole process. Her patience and ability with dealing with the dynamics of working with two siblings/spouses in joint ownership was amazing. She is genuine, down to earth, and really cares about her clients. My recommendation. When looking for RE professional to assist with RE matters; Look no further than to call Kristen"
