The Brydon & Ives partnership was formed over 20 years ago. Their diverse backgrounds, interests, and capabilities make them stronger together and differentiates them from their competition.
Contact UsKristi has called the East Bay home for more than 35 years and has lived in Lafayette with her husband for over 25 years, where they raised their two daughters. A proud graduate of Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, Kristi brings a strong business background, seasoned negotiation skills, and an in-depth understanding of the Lamorinda market to every client relationship.
Before beginning her real estate career, Kristi worked for Shell Oil Company, where she negotiated multimillion-dollar buy/sell agreements, and later in software sales with Softworks/EMC, consistently exceeding growth and revenue goals. That foundation in business, sales, and negotiation has been instrumental throughout her more than 24 years as a successful Lamorinda real estate agent.
Known for her strong work ethic, strategic approach, responsiveness, and meticulous attention to detail, Kristi has earned a reputation as one of Lamorinda’s top Realtors®. She combines decades of local market knowledge with thoughtful, data-driven guidance and skilled negotiation to help her clients make confident decisions and achieve the strongest possible results.
Kristi believes exceptional real estate representation is also highly personal. She understands that buying or selling a home is often connected to an important life transition, and she takes the time to understand each client’s priorities, concerns, and goals. Her relationship-first approach and commitment to exceptional service have resulted in lasting client relationships, repeat business, and referrals throughout the community.
Her deep Lamorinda roots also give her clients an advantage that goes well beyond market statistics. After decades of living and working in the area, Kristi understands the neighborhoods, schools, streets, lifestyle, and nuances that make each Lamorinda community unique. Her extensive local relationships and agent network also help connect clients with opportunities, including Coming Soon, Private Exclusive, and off-market properties that may not be widely available.
Kristi has long been involved in the Lafayette community, supporting organizations and programs including Lafayette Partners in Education (LPIE), local schools, Rancho Swim & Tennis Club, youth sports, and community organizations. For Kristi, Lamorinda isn’t simply where she works. It’s the community she has called home for decades and one she is proud to help her clients become a part of.
This experienced team prides itself on their unparalleled levels of service combined with a unique and informed perspective of the market, specifically the East Bay cities: Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda.
