CONNECTING WITH THE COMMUNITY CHRISTI IRWIN

Christi Irwin, owner of The Irwin Group real estate brokerage in Duvall, WA, loves the area. A bedroom community close to Redmond, Bellevue, and Kirkland, Duvall is fairly rural, full of natural beauty, and small enough to be a breath of fresh air for commuters to the surrounding cities. Irwin’s roots are in Vancouver, BC, and she has always enjoyed the richness and diversity of the Northwest’s geography, economy, and people. Christi came to Duvall and the practice of real estate out of thin air, almost literally. She has a strong background and varied experience in the airline industry, with several pilots in her family and an employment record that includes flight attendant, supervisor, and director of in-flight services for a Canadian airline. Her move to the Seattle area in 2003 was for family, but she ended up changing course and, in 2004, started her real estate business at a friend’s suggestion. Although she had not considered a career in real estate, she soon developed a passion to help people land their dream home or upgrade to the next level. It was only one year from the time Christi received her real estate license to opening her RE/MAX franchise in Duvall. Her colleagues and competitors in the business were incredulous that a newcomer to the real estate profession would jump in so high. Three years after that, Christi dropped the corporate ties and changed the shingle to read “The Irwin Group,” continuing to build her team and great reputation. Christi says simply, “I love a challenge.”

The Irwin Group works the territory in and around Duvall and up to two hours away, from Bellingham to Tacoma. With seven agents and two support staff, that’s a lot of ground to cover. Christi says that she and her team “have the dedication, integrity, and tenacity” to get the job done. She further explains, “We’re not afraid to do what’s right, regardless of monetary impact. Money is not the goal, but if we work hard and do the right things, the money will follow.”

Christi designed The Irwin Group as a boutique office with well-appointed furnishings and classic style. It fits well into the small community of Duvall, known to be rich in history and tradition. Christi Irwin has built her reputation by ambitiously establishing and expanding her brand throughout Duvall and engaging the residents on many levels. She is an accomplished multi-tasker and stays active in the community in several ways. As a businesswoman, Christi Irwin benefits from the preferred location and economic stability of the Eastside area. She understands the symbiotic nature of business and community and gives back generously. Her highest profile activity is “Movies in the Park,” free outdoor screenings of current films enjoyed by thousands in the community every summer. She also supports education locally with the “Future Entrepreneurial Scholarship” for the Snoqualmie Valley High School Scholarship Foundation. Christi is active on several community committees and serves on the Board of Directors of the Seattle-King County Association of REALTORS® and as State Director with the Washington Association of REALTORS®.

Christi Irwin does not hold back, whether in her business effort, community involvement, or helping with a worthy cause. It’s clear that wherever and whenever Christi Irwin gets involved, good things will happen.

MATTERS WHO YOU WORK WITH

Partnering with the right real estate professional is crucial to your success. If you want great results, you will need to consider the education, experience, reputation, and expertise of an agent and their brokerage.

EDUCATION EXPERIENCE

A highly educated agent focuses on the solution, not the problem. The ability to anticipate problems and resolve them quickly and professionally defines a successful agent.

Exceptional communication and negotiation enables an agent to effectively work with both buyers’ and sellers’ needs, making the difference between a sold contract and one that collapses.

REPUTATION EXPERTISE

Respect from an agent’s peers, the real estate community, and local homeowners is key to your home being well-received, shown frequently, and ultimately sold at market value.

Staying on the cutting edge of technology and innovative marketing demonstrates dedication and commitment to provide superior service and is essential to success in today’s world.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Christi is very knowledgeable about the Greater Duvall area. She has helped me buy and sell four times, and she helped me with a rental agreement on another transaction. She is the consummate real estate professional who works almost around the clock to make sure the transaction goes as smoothly as possible. In one instance, Christi found a buyer for my property by working her network, even before we put it on the market. I highly recommend Christi Irwin for all of your real estate needs.”

— Alan Stuart

“Last year, my Mom transitioned into assisted living, and my sister and I embarked on selling our family home of 46 years. I’ve known Christi for a few years and trust and respect her very much, so she was top of mind to hire and partner with us through this process. Christi and her team were amazing throughout, and I give them 10 stars on this review! Great advice, communication, and excellent objective market analysis ensured all went as planned.”

— Eric Berberich

Christi Irwin is a major catalyst for the vibrant community Duvall has become. A highly visible and respected business person, Christi has enriched the community through her support of a myriad of activities that enliven the town. As organizer of the Riverview Education Foundation, Duvall Runs, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Christi. She is the title sponsor of the Irwin Group Half Marathon. Her focus is always on helping and giving back; her vision is clear, strong, and well-articulated. She is truly a community treasure.

— Paige Denison

“Thank you, Christi! I can’t say enough about how Christi went above and beyond to help us sell our house. It wasn’t an easy sell, but she made it easy for us. She was always thinking outside the box and taking the extra step to make sure that everything was handled in a timely manner and with the utmost professionalism. We also thoroughly enjoyed her video messages as we had already moved out of state and had no in-person contact at the end of our transaction.”

— Mike & Crystal Smith
