Kris’s parents owned a resort for over 25 years in Deer River, MN so she has plenty of firsthand knowledge of the resort business.

There's no shortage of realtors in the Southwest Twin Cities. What's rare is one who grew up on these streets, built homes in this market, and has spent 25+ years helping people make the biggest financial decisions of their lives.
That's Kris Lind. And that combination doesn't exist anywhere else in this market.
Kris grew up in Waconia, Minnesota. She didn't just pass through — she went to school here, made friends here, fell in love here. She married her high school best friend, and they've been together for 36 years. When Kris recently returned to Waconia, she wasn't starting over. She was coming home.
That kind of connection to a place isn't something you can learn. It's something you live. And it shows in every conversation Kris has with buyers and sellers who want someone who genuinely understands what this community means to the people in it.
Before Kris became one of the most trusted names in real estate, she was building luxury homes. Not selling them — building them. She understands construction at a level that almost no other realtor can claim: how a home is framed, what separates quality craftsmanship from shortcuts, what upgrades actually hold value, and what a discerning buyer is going to look at before they make an offer.
That builder's eye doesn't turn off when Kris walks into a listing appointment. She can tell you — specifically, honestly — what your home is worth, what's going to attract serious buyers, and what's going to hold you back. That kind of insight is worth a great deal when you're selling a $500,000+ home.
25+ years in real estate means Kris has seen markets rise, markets fall, interest rate shocks, buyer frenzies, and everything in between. She has navigated a strong sellers market, negotiated complex deals, and guided hundreds of clients through one of the most emotional and financially significant experiences of their lives.
She doesn't get rattled. She doesn't guess. She knows.
Kris isn't just a salesperson wearing a suit. She's a neighbor. When she's not working, she's part of this community — the same one she grew up in, the same one she chose to come back to. That matters when you're trusting someone with your home.
