Kristen Jacobs, Broker Associate

Kristen Jacobs has proudly called Austin, Texas home for nearly twenty years and has watched the city grow and flourish since her arrival. A believer in the power of community and the importance of fostering strong relationships, her background in public school teaching instilled in her a deep sense of empathy, patience, and the ability to truly understand the unique needs of individuals and families. 

For more than a decade as a Realtor®, she has been a trusted advisor with a client-centric approach, taking the time to understand her clients’ goals and work diligently to ensure their needs are met, whether they are buying or selling a home. While Kristen’s love for Austin’s diverse communities is evident in her ability to match buyers with their ideal homes, she is also a recognized expert in listing properties. She has a keen eye for showcasing the unique features and selling points in each home she represents. Kristen understands that effectively marketing a property is crucial for a successful sale, and she goes above and beyond to create compelling listings that capture the attention of potential buyers. Whether working with buyers or sellers, she provides expert guidance and personalized strategies to help her clients achieve their real estate objectives, maintaining transparent and open communication every step of the way.

Kristen has been recognized industry-wide as a top producer, yet still radiates a down-to-earth style that endears her to clients, many of whom are referrals or repeat customers.  A Southern California native, Kristen attended the University of California at Santa Barbara and the Complutense de Madrid (Spain), where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Sociology. Kristen loves how Austin’s vibrant lifestyle pairs with Texas’ friendly nature, and she is often found at sporting events, exercising, volunteering at various non-profits, or enjoying the city’s many great restaurants and festivals. Kristen also enjoys worldwide travel and speaks fluent Spanish.
