"My home is my happy place. When I walk in the door, I feel a sense of peace and warmth. I became a Realtor so I could help other people achieve that same feeling." - Kristin Martin Kristin has always been passionate about the idea of "home". For her, it is the place where family and friends come together, where they feel comfortable and welcome, and where memories are made. She has had the privilege of being able to call several different places home and each of them has played a special role her life. In 2009, Kristin and her family moved from Michigan to Vestavia Hills, Alabama, and have put down roots in a community she loves dearly. Kristin's moves over the years have given her insight into many different types of real estate agents. She has come to believe that a good Realtor must be ethical, accessible, organized, reliable, and, of course, knowledgeable. As a former teacher, Kristin was able to spend years developing and refining those very same skills in the classroom. She loved her years in teaching, as well as those spent at home with her two sons. Now that they are older, she is putting her skills to use in the real estate world in order to help both buyers and sellers on their journey of finding a home- their happy place.
