This unique combination of legal and financial expertise enables Kristen to provide her clients with precise, confident advice tailored to their specific needs.
Outside of real estate, Kristen lives life with a sense of adventure. A self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie, she loves skydiving and pushing her limits. She has a deep passion for sports—basketball holds a special place in her heart—and enjoys staying active through hiking, fishing, and travel. For Kristen, family is at the heart of everything she does, providing both motivation and joy. Kristen is also driven by a profound commitment to giving back to her community, which fuels her purpose and enhances her work.
With her unmatched work ethic, diverse skill set, and zest for life, Kristen is more than a Realtor®—she’s a trusted partner in achieving your real estate goals.

In 1980 I started in real estate in California, working in commercial real estate for about 15 years before moving to residential lending here in New Mexico. My extensive experience as a loan originator and knowledge of the industry allows me to tailor each loan to meet the specific needs of my client. Everyone’s story is different, so no one loan will fit everyone’s needs. My job is to find that perfect fit. I pride myself on honesty, hard work and professionalism and I am dedicated to making the process a positive and rewarding experience for you. I welcome the opportunity to earn your business and your trust.
Working at Bell Bank Mortgage allows me to offer a broad range of mortgage products to meet your needs, while the company’s sterling reputation allows me to offer top-notch service. Buying a home is the single most important investment we make. That’s why you can be confident that I will be there to help you through the entire process “from start to finish” every step of the way.
I look forward to working with you!
