A Passion for Homes, a Heart for People: Welcome Kristen Marti to Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Palmetto

Some real estate stories begin long before an agent earns a license. For Kristen Marti, hers began with rearranging furniture, decorating rooms, and discovering how a few thoughtful changes could make a space feel warm and inviting.

Today, that same love of homes shapes her approach to helping people buy and sell.

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Palmetto is excited to welcome Kristen Marti to our brokerage. With approximately three years as a licensed real estate agent, experience in property management, and a professional background centered on serving others, Kristen brings creativity, care, and a personal connection to the work she does.

A Career Built Around Helping People

A native of Homestead, Florida, Kristen’s professional journey includes veterinary medicine, food service, behavioral health, and college admissions. Across those different roles, the common thread has been people: understanding their needs, answering questions, and helping them navigate important decisions.

Her work in property management and administration within a real estate brokerage brought those experiences together with a lifelong interest in homes. It was there that Kristen recognized how much she enjoyed both the industry and the opportunity to help people through meaningful transitions.

Real estate became a natural next step.

Honest Guidance and Care at Every Step

For Kristen, a successful client relationship starts with listening.

She wants to understand what matters to each person, what they hope to accomplish, and what questions or concerns they bring to the process. Her approach emphasizes honesty, clear communication, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

Whether someone is preparing to buy or considering a sale, Kristen’s goal is to help them feel heard, informed, and confident throughout the experience.

She brings an authentic, approachable style to her business, with a focus on building relationships that extend beyond the closing table.

An Eye for Staging, Design, and Possibility

Kristen’s childhood love of decorating continues to influence her work today. Home staging and design remain strong interests, and she enjoys helping clients recognize the possibilities within a space.

For sellers, that perspective can help identify ways to create a welcoming presentation. For buyers, it can help them imagine how a home might reflect their own style and everyday needs.

Kristen also remains committed to expanding her knowledge through industry resources, continuing to develop the skills she brings to her clients.

A New Chapter in the South Carolina Lowcountry

After her husband’s career promotion brought Kristen and their large family to South Carolina, the Lowcountry became home.

Having recently experienced a relocation herself, Kristen understands the personal decisions that come with settling into a new community. Finding a home is part of that journey, alongside establishing routines, making connections, and creating a sense of belonging.

Now, she is excited to bring her experience and enthusiasm to the community she calls home while continuing to grow her real estate business.

Welcome to BHGRE Palmetto, Kristen!

Kristen’s appreciation for thoughtful spaces and personal service fits naturally with the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Palmetto family.

We are proud to welcome an agent who cares about both the homes she helps clients discover and the people who will make them their own.
