“Mary Kay was the most attentive, focused, and persistent Realtor I’ve ever worked with. We were looking for a needle in a haystack to find our dream home on the lake, and she learned what we wanted, developed a letter-writing campaign, narrowed down options, and helped us through the whole buying process. She also knows Cornelius and the waterfront better than any other Realtor we interviewed. In summary, we have bought or sold homes 11 times, and Mary Kay was the most knowledgeable and capable Realtor we’ve ever worked with.”

Keys to the City

Kirsten Robinson specializes in helping clients find their perfect home, and lifestyle, in the Queen City.

Whether you’re moving from out of state or simply changing neighborhoods, a move isn’t just about a new home – it’s about a new lifestyle. No one knows that better than Kirsten Robinson, a Realtor® with Berkshire Hathaway who specializes in relocation, new construction, and helping clients who are buying and selling simultaneously. “Whether it’s clients, friends, or other entrepreneurs, I’m a natural connector,” she says. “For clients, I don’t just help them find their dream home; I help them build a fulfilling lifestyle. I love Charlotte so much; I want my clients to fall in love with the city too.”

Robinson grew up in Winston-Salem, and after graduating from Appalachian State University with a degree in marketing, she moved to Charlotte to work in inside sales for a large organization. She loved the people but not the cubical. A friend who was a Realtor thought Kirsten would enjoy real estate. “I was so interested in what she was telling me. I almost couldn’t believe this could actually be my career. In no time, I jumped in and got my license.” Nearly nine years in, real estate turned out to be a perfect fit for her skills and talents. “I love the process. It’s exciting helping people, and when it’s stressful, I’m a great sounding board and skilled at helping my clients work through things to find a solution.”

YOUR QUEEN CITY LIFESTYLE

Part of Kirsten’s magic is her unique ability to combine a wealth of knowledge with intuition, which gives her clients an edge with today’s unprecedented market challenges. “Last year, I had sellers who had built a beautiful new home, put about $260k of additional upgrades into it, including a pool, then needed to sell it just two years later,” she says. “It was challenging because it was on a very particular street, so we had no comps. I had to rely on my intuition and experience. I listed the home for $520,000 over what they paid, and sold it in one weekend for 15.8% over the list price.

Robinson expects the market to continue on the same trajectory for the foreseeable future. “Charlotte draws people in - we have so many affluent people relocating here, and there’s no end in sight for companies to continue moving here. Last year, when a lot of the market was stalling or slowing, the luxury market in Charlotte was on fire. It’s going nowhere but up,” she says.

Inventory is still the biggest challenge buyers face, and Kirsten shares ideas for clients frustrated with the lack of choices. “The truth is, we still just don’t have enough supply for the demand that is in our market” she says. “In the age of Pinterest and Instagram, it’s easy to lose the ability to see a home’s underlying charm and character if it needs changes. I’m immersed in Instagram-worthy homes all day, every day. By staying up-to-date on the industry, I’ve learned to see what’s possible. I can help clients see a home’s potential even if it’s not already perfect.”

Kirsten also translates her lifestyle design knowledge to new construction. She has a certification in Residential Construction and has always had an affinity for architecture. “It’s a joy being part of the construction process with my clients because I get to help them identify and choose things that support their lifestyle. I love the little milestones along the way, and enjoy working alongside builders because we’re both there to make the clients dreams come true” she says.

Robinson maintains a fun and informative Instagram account (@KeysWithKirsten) full of tips for buyers and sellers, her thoughts about real-time changes in the market, and the inside scoop for anyone who wants to enjoy the Queen City like a local!
