Cristina Edelstein-Skurat

Lead Agent with RE/MAX Results

I love helping friends and referrals – negotiating a solid deal for them makes my day! Like recently when I negotiated $35,000 off the purchase price of a home, Mr. Buyer said, “Well, I’ll be darned! When you told my wife we could get this home that much lower than the asking price I never thought it would be possible.” I love guiding each client through the process as we work hard to achieve their real estate goals!

Cristina was born in Mexico City and grew up traveling all over the world. She spent many of her formative years immersed in other cultures. Cristina earned her Communication degree from the University of Minnesota with a minor in Business Management and spent much of her early career working to support small businesses through her role as a property manager in the Twin Cities and participating in various educational projects in India, Philippines, Brazil, and Mexico. While in DR Congo, she taught business skills to women who suffered from sexual violence or had a lack of access to basic health care.

After moving back to the United States and marrying Kerby in 2009, Cristina quickly joined him in starting and expanding their Real Estate Team. Cristina has worn every hat in a real estate company from being the first marketing and “get anything needed done”, first ISA, dedicated buyer’s agent, dedicated listing agent, coach, trainer, and now is the Integrator of their team. She takes great JOY in investing in the leaders in her team and the amazing agents that make ~700+ homes sales a year happen! She and Kerby are serial entrepreneurs and have a couple additional businesses and are always looking to grow the opportunities of the people in their world.

Cristina and Kerby are the proud parents of 4 children ages 4-10: Viviana, Lucia, Santiago, and Amelia. They love spending time with family at their lake place and traveling to warm places!

My dream job would be… I am doing what I love! I love real estate and helping others grow, develop and thrive on our team!

My first job was… Property Manager (unless you count teaching English classes at age 16 in Mexico!)

When I’m not working you’ll find me… On date night with Kerby, playing with the kids or hanging out with friends and family. I also read my Bible daily and consistently work out at 6 am!

My favorite vacation spot is… anywhere by beautiful beaches or exploring nature.

The best “unknown” restaurant I’ve been to is… I’m a huge fan of Los Ocampo on E Lake Street in Minneapolis.

My favorite food is… Mexican, sushi, Asian (various types!)… really, why pick one?

Once again this team came through BIG for our family! The 'buy before selling program has been a great fit for our needs and would recommend trusting this team in achieving your housing goals!

I have had the absolute best experience working with Cristina to buy my first home. She has been very prompt with communication and able to explain everything in a way I can easily understand. She has provided a lot of great insight and has given me a lot of reassurance through the whole process. She came highly recommended to me and I would definitely recommend her to any of my family and friends.

From our first call to the 48 hour negotiations Cristina was a pro...always avalible by phone text or email...and quick responses. Christina and her TEAM handled everything ..we had great marketing before we had the home ready to show so it sold to the first people thru on the first day...there were a lot if moving parts to all the contracts but Cristina gave us wise counsel and worked with all the other parties to get it completed..thanks to K&C team were moving to our dream location...even during these crazy times!

I have worked with Cristina and her team for over a decade. I also have friends and family who have worked with Cristina, and her team has always exceeded my expectations. Communication, understanding, patience, and hard work are all things I appreciate about Cristina and her team. I never had to worry about challenges with her team - I trusted they would help me figure anything out. I have family members who are realtors and I would choose K&C over again and refer them to anyone needing a realtor!!!

Cristina helped me years ago to find a condo to meet my needs. I was so impressed by her ability to turn an often stressful real estate transaction into a stress-free event, that recently when I needed help to sell that very same condo, I did not even think about getting anybody else to help me. And if there will be a time in the future that I will need help with real estate transactions, I will pick up the phone and call her again.

I love the Kerby & Cristina team and the dedication and experience that they provide. They are “go-getters”, hard-working, knowledgeable, professional, and go the extra mile. Cristina is incredibly experienced and thinks outside the box. She knows the market inside and out and it would be an honor to have her included in any real estate transaction. When working with Kerby & Cristina, you are working with the very best. I am grateful to know them personally after working with them on the sale of a few of our homes. I would give 10 stars if I could! 🙂
