Sotheby's International Realty recruited Kirsten in February 2008 from another highly respected brokerage in Sonoma Valley where she served as Sonoma Estates Director and a corporate ambassador.  She ranked 5th in overall sales in Sonoma Valley in 2008.

In today's challenging real estate world, both buyers and sellers need confidence in the abilities of their agent.  With scarce time they must rely on the skills, knowledge, and expertise of their agent/advocate.  Kirsten knows the value of time and peace of mind and consistently closes escrows----well done.  Her references are outstanding.

Kirsten is a certified EPro, or Internet marketing expert, giving sellers a definite advantage.  Kirsten's clients also benefit from her professional history as a newswoman, businesswoman, and public relations director.  For sixteen years, she was a broadcast news anchor and reporter of major economic and political stories from Washington, DC, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis for the Associated Press, CNN and NBC and ABC affiliates.  Kirsten was co-owner and operator of the largest apple growing and processing business in the upper Midwest.  She served as PR director for a subsidiary of the Target Corporation and handled PR efforts for the Prairie Island Sioux Indian Tribe in Southeastern Minnesota.

 

Kirsten also brings a passionate love for Sonoma County to her work in real estate.  She is active in community affairs and is a third generation Sonoma County native whose family purchased Jack London's Hill Ranch in 1943 in Glen Ellen, where she happily resides today.
