Cathy Green, Managing Broker

After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of California at Davis 19 years ago, Kristen Boyd relocated from California to the beautiful Arizona desert. For the past 16 years, Kristen has lived in Chandler and is the mother of four awesome kids.

Kristen has always been interested in real estate and is now fortunate enough to do it for a living. She chose real estate as a career path because it allows her to use the customer service and people skills she acquired during a 15-year career in the sales and marketing industry. It also offers her an opportunity to serve the community that she loves.

She understands and knows the dynamics of the local real estate market and what it takes to succeed. You’ll have a lot of questions during your real estate transaction. You deserve to know what is happening at all times and what needs to happen to reach the finish line. That’s why Kristen works extra hard to keep her clients informed and to make the process as smooth and transparent as possible.

When Kristen not helping her clients, she enjoys spending time with her four children. She also enjoys cooking, fitness, sports, hiking, reading, and music.
