Personal Profile

I've been a full-time Realtor® with Century 21 Redwood Realty since 2003, and throughout my career, one thing has remained constant: my clients' best interest is at the heart of everything I do. I truly love my job and have a deep passion for real estate, it's a privilege to guide people through such meaningful moments in their lives.

Over the years, I've been honored to be recognized as a consistent top agent with Century 21, earning awards such as the Double Centurion, Centurion, President's Producer, and Quality Service Pinnacle Producer. These recognitions reflect the trust my clients place in me and the results we achieve together.

Before real estate, I worked for the Ritz-Carlton in Pentagon City, where I learned the gold standard of customer service. Later, I spent seven years teaching Spanish at Garfield High School, which instilled in me a lasting desire to share knowledge and help others make confident, informed decisions. Both experiences continue to shape how I work today, blending high-level service with patience, guidance, and thoughtful support every step of the way.

I grew up in Northern Virginia, graduating from Lake Braddock Secondary School in Burke. I studied at Calvin University in Michigan, completing two semesters abroad in Spain, before transferring to George Mason University, where I earned both my undergraduate degree in Spanish and a Master's in Education.

Since 1989, I've lived in Prince William County with my husband, Joe, where we've raised our family. Northern Virginia is home, and I'm proud to serve clients across the region-including Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Prince William, Stafford, Loudoun, and Spotsylvania counties.

When I'm not working, you'll usually find me spending time with my two grown daughters, our cockapoo Guster, and our cat Cody. I also enjoy traveling, listening to audiobooks and podcasts, and staying active through masters rowing.

Whether you're buying your first home, selling your forever one, or somewhere in between, I'm here to help you navigate it all with diligence, creativity, and care.

    Kristin took the time to listen and work with us; we had a specific timeline that could have adversely impacted her ability to sell our home. She took that in stride and our home was sold within days of listing. She explained all processes very well and was available via either text or phone at all times. We enjoyed working with Kristin; she made what could have been a very stressful move so much easier. We would recommend Kristin to all our friends.

    I can't say enough wonderful things about Kristin. Selling a home is extremely stressful. Kristin made the whole process easy and was there every step of the way to answer our questions. She was always helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. Our house was under contract within days and we got 13k over our asking price!
  • Buyer review
    We cannot recommend Kristin enough! We were renting and found out (unexpectedly) our landlord was selling the house we lived in, so were on a tight time frame to look for a place to buy. Kristin gave us options for lenders, was thorough in all her searches, really listened to what we had to work with (and what we needed), and helped us win the contract to our new home that beat out several other offers. The process of buying a home is stressful and can be crazy, but none of that was ever because of Kristin - if anything, she helped mitigate as much of that as possible. We will sing her praises forever!
  • Seller review
    Kristin was AMAZING! She showed up at our house with a book explaining the market in our neighborhood with our home's info already plugged in. She explained what to expect and gave us "homework" so she could better represent our home. She was so detail oriented and kept us completely informed. She responded to every text and phone call immediately. Her kindness and confidence were so appreciated. She had us hold on until we got what we were asking and didn't settle for the lower bids that came in first. She's truly a pro!!!! The brochures she printed for our home were GORGEOUS! My daughter and I looked through the pages and were blown away! We joked that we wanted to buy the house in the pictures!!! From her suggestions of colors to paint our walls and the stager's furniture and art choices, our house looked catalog worthy!!! Kristin gave us a checklist to use throughout the whole process so we always knew what came next. Her signage and print work can only be described as classy. Then during our closing she was bummed we didn't have her favorite attorney from her title company - which is mind boggling because the lawyer we were assigned was blown away with Kristin's work. I couldn't help but wonder why THIS guy wasn't her favorite since he thought she was the cat's meow. He couldn't believe what she got for our home during the current market. He couldn't believe she got the people we were buying from to cover our closing costs given the market. He was blown away we were moving into our new home with $12,000 in equity from the start. I knew Kristin was good, but this guy who understood the markets better than I ever could was blown away by what she did for us. She's the BEST!!! There aren't enough superlatives to describe our experience with Kristin. From selling our home to buying our new home, she was the consummate professional. And as if she hadn't already bent over backwards to help us sell our last house and buy this current one, we walked into our new home with her and she had a really beautiful basket filled with super thoughtful house-warming gifts. I will suggest her to everyone I know looking to buy or sell their homes! You can't beat Kristin's warmness, work ethic or results!!!! She is truly THE BEST!!!! They always had what we needed when we needed it. They were friendly and welcoming. Great group of people!!! You can't do better than Kristin!!!

    I chose Kristin primarily because of her frank, no-nonsense, direct, honest approach to the activity at hand. She was CLEARLY an expert; experienced, intelligent, professional, direct, and had a plan and track record. She has/had a process to sell my home. She knew her business and clearly studied and took very seriously one of the most important transactions of our lives. I had complete confidence that, with her, we'd get the very best deal on our house. I chose her over another agent with a lower commission, because I was confident she was THAT good. Her service/input/advice on what needed/didn't need to be done to/with the property to prepare to list it, the process of handing home viewing by prospects, decisions on interim offers, and the review and decision of what offer to select was simply exceptional. She KNOWS her business and I was absolutely confident that we should do everything she suggested, just as she suggested. Christine Gable was the only other staff with which I worked and she was simply exceptional as well. VERY organized and efficient. Those two seem to make and outstanding team. VERY pleased with them both...
  • Seller review
    Kristin Burns sold my parent's home and helped me buy the home I just sold 11 years ago. My parents home sold in 13 days and she helped me navigate through 5 offers to make a successful offer on a foreclosure at the bottom of the housing market in 2008. So when it was time to sell that home, Kristin was my first and only call. I moved to New York City before my home went on the market, so Kristin and her team stepped in to help with many things small and large since I was not local (i.e. re-installing blinds that were broken by housecleaners, letting in contractors for various inspections/repairs, etc...). I had peace of mind based on my established relationship with Kristin. Once on the market, my home got over 30 showings, 8 offers and was under contract in 4 days. She helped me navigate the home inspection process and subsequent repairs and closed in 30 days. Throughout the process, Kristin was always available, patient and helpful. If you're looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable agent who gets great results, Kristin Burns is who you want.
