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 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?

Client Reviews

Cristina Edelstein did a great job guiding us through the home buying process and she knew the market so well that we were able to submit competitive offers on 3 separate properties and ended up buying the last one. Cristina provided sound advice during the whole process and I view her as an industry expert.

Cristina Edelstein is the best, very knowledgeable and helpful.

Amazing experience. Cristina made it easy, answered any questions in that same day, good at negotiating, knowlegeable, and found a good team and fit for me. She knew what I wanted and found the perfect place for me. Couldn't have done it long distance so easily. Best customer service ever!

Cristina was amazing in finding everything I wanted and making it so easy!
