Mark Dipasquale
A top-producing Realtor with Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Kristin Francoeur is the epitome of a real estate powerhouse whose success is built on the foundation of a client first approach. With over $41 million in sales volume across 24 transactions in 2024 alone, her numbers are impressive, yet she prefers to let her client relationships do the talking after two decades in the business.
“I honestly find myself incredibly understated … I think I am just quietly relentless,” Kristin explains with a chuckle. “I won’t stop until I reach success.”
It’s this quiet determination, paired with a deeply humanistic approach, that has earned her accolades like being in the top 1.5% of all real estate professionals in the U.S., and an inaugural member of Gibson Sotheby’s prestigious Club XV.
A Solid Foundation Born in Oceanside, Long Island, and raised in Nesconset, New York, Kristin grew up with a strong work ethic, starting in law firms at just 12 years old. Although she pursued law school at age 21, she quickly realized the legal field wasn’t her calling.
Kristin Francoeur
HUMBLE HUSTLE
BY JESSICA WELLAR, SR. WRITER
“I loved the practical experience, but when I sat down for the theory, it just wasn’t me,” she admits. Pivoting with purpose, Kristin earned a master’s degree in business from Lesley University, which led to a fruitful 12year career in sales and marketing with giants like Coca-Cola and Gillette.
The true catalyst for her second act came after a personal loss. “My mom had just passed away, and I was in my mid-30s at the time with two little babies. I had always had a passion for architecture & design and then the wheels started to turn,” Kristin recalls. With endless encouragement and support from her husband, Dave, she took the leap and obtained her real estate license in 2005 — a decision she’s never regretted.
Grounded in Relationships
Kristin hit the ground running in the industry, quickly leveraging her business acumen and marketing savvy. Her leadership background in sales and marketing gave her an edge as well:
“My experience fueled my passion for advertising, promotion, sales growth, and client satisfaction.” This winning combination catapulted her to rapid success and recognition as one of America’s Best Real Estate Professionals.
But Kristin measures her achievements with something less tangible.
“Unrelenting passion for clients’ success and building long-term, deep relationships that last well beyond the transaction — that’s how I define success,” she offers.
A glowing testimonial from a recent client who has used her services as both buyer and seller echoes this sentiment: “Kristin does not approach it as a transaction of an asset; rather, she partners with her clients to achieve
their goals. She has both the highest integrity and the warmest heart.”
A business endeavor that has been working well for Kristin recently is presenting real estate packages for firsttime homebuyers to Boston companies. These sessions cover the current state of the market, explain interest rate trends, and guide attendees through the buying process.
“Since last spring, I’ve been giving presentations alongside a team that includes an attorney, a mortgage broker, and our marketing team,” she shares. “It’s been so effective — we’ve already surfaced five new homebuyers just from doing this.”
Empathy Above All
Whether finding off-market deals through her extensive network or navigating complex luxury transactions, Kristin’s calm, steady presence is her hallmark. But her secret sauce? It’s not flashy marketing gimmicks or aggressive sales tactics; it’s her humanistic approach.
“I am empathetic to the reality that buying or selling a property represents the biggest transaction of their lives and can be fraught with complexity and stress,” she explains. Her goal is to simplify the process, maintain a level head, and be available whenever her clients need her.
For new agents aspiring to succeed, Kristin offers sage advice along those same lines.
“Build deep relationships with your clients and take a longer view beyond the transaction at hand. The key is to maintain an even keel throughout the ‘bumps in the road,’ making it as stress-free as possible to achieve a successful outcome.”
Beyond The Work Day
When Kristin leaves her Manchester by the Sea office behind, she keeps busy with her family and various community involvements. Married to Dave for 31 years, she’s a proud mom to three daughters: Caroline (24), Emma (22),
I think I am just quietly relentless. I won't stop until I reach success.”
and Lily (19). Family adventures include sailing, skiing, and traveling — with trips to Italy, Jackson Hole, and Spain on the horizon. Their Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, Ivy, adds even more joy (and fur) to the Francoeur household and is their fourth dog of that particular beloved breed.
Kristin is also deeply involved in her community, supporting many causes close to her heart. She volunteers with Manchester Visitation Parish, Manchester Women’s Club, Manchester Garden Club, Cape Ann Paddle Club, Manchester and Eastern Point Yacht Clubs, and Open Pantry. A passionate
cyclist, she rides in the Pan-Mass Challenge each year to honor her mother, marking 20 years since her passing this August.
Looking ahead, Kristin is focused on personal growth and professional evolution.
“I’m building my meditation practice, expanding my charitable endeavors, and setting physical challenges like charity bike rides,” she shares. “Professionally, I aim to strengthen my social media footprint in a targeted manner and build my admin team prudently to support growth.”
Adding to her impressive ambitions, Kristin recently secured her real estate license in Florida with Gulf to Bay Sotheby’s International Realty. A long time condo owner in the Sunshine State, she has already sold several properties there, connecting ‘snowbird’ clients from the North Shore to luxury homes in warmer climates.
“I love being part of the Sotheby’s International Realty brand,” she concludes, embracing the expansive reach and prestige it offers. “As Mel Robbins famously said, ‘Knowing what you need to do to improve your life takes wisdom. Pushing yourself to do it takes courage.’”
Knowing what you need to do to improve your life takes wisdom. Pushing yourself to do it takes courage.”
