When you decide to work with Kristen Canalia, you are not just hiring any run-of-mill real estate agent. You are partnering with an individual who has brokered tens of millions of dollars (MRED, LLC, based on closed sales data, 03/2016-12/2024) of real estate transactions across all price points and is also a seasoned real estate developer who has worked for builders and general contractors who have completed over one hundred projects in the Chicagoland area. Kristen's market knowledge, along with her understanding of a home or lot's potential, creates so many more opportunities for her clients in an extremely tight housing market. 

With Kristen's background in home building/remodeling, she can provide firsthand insight into particular municipalities, neighborhoods and estimated costs to build or renovate a home based on her client's needs.  Kristen's knowledge has often allowed her clients to make real-time decisions, enabling them to make informed offers in a very hot market, increasing their opportunity to move forward with a purchase, at a time when there is such little inventory available. 

With Kristen by your side, you will appreciate the boutique, full-service approach she brings to the table in helping her clients navigate every aspect of the real estate journey seamlessly, from designing and constructing your new home, to successfully marketing and selling your current property. She is your comprehensive solution for all your real estate needs.

Backed by over 25 years of sales, marketing and negotiating expertise, Kristen thrives on delivering exceptional results to her clients. Kristen's grasp of the different market segments along with her eye for staging a house in preparation to sell, has resulted in an exceedingly high list-to-sales price percentage for her clients during the last 5-year period (MRED, LLC, based on closed sales data, 01/2019-12/2024). She attributes her success to knowing the market and her unwavering quest to get the best price for her clients. Kristen's passion lies in bringing her clients' real estate aspirations to life and streamlining the process to make it fun and enjoyable!
