Cristen comes from a family with a strong entrepreneurial background, where active listening is a core trait. Her prior career involved designing marketing materials, creating websites, and programming pharmaceutical applications, which helped develop her keen attention to detail. She applies these skills to effectively market and present homes at their best with Boise Premier Real Estate.

Driven by a desire for growth, Cristen spearheaded the launch of a boutique wine brand, forging connections within the hospitality industry. Over the years, her interactions with Master Sommeliers and luxury hotel brands honed her negotiation skills. Through her persistence and determination, she built a network of trusted individuals, earning the respect and confidence of both customers and partners.

Cristen's passion for real estate sprouted from her experiences remodeling homes with her father and husband in California. The act of breathing new life into once-neglected properties served as a profound inspiration. Her quest to find a new home upon relocating her family to Idaho's beautiful Treasure Valley ignited that same enthusiasm. Her personal understanding of the challenges involved in uprooting and moving makes her an invaluable resource for any relocation-related questions or needs.

Family time for Cristen revolves around outdoor activities like hiking, rafting, and biking, aimed at tiring out her two lively boys and her adventure-loving husband. They also enjoy attending local events, dining at nearby restaurants, and exploring the offerings of wineries and breweries in the area, solidifying their sense of belonging within the community they proudly call home.
