KRISTINA MADDOX

Top Agent Kristina Maddox works solo with Coldwell

Kristina Maddox of Charlotte, North Carolina, has built a successful real estate business by combining her interpersonal networking skills with a dedication to unparalleled service and a vision for improving the entire industry. “I’m precise in everything I do – I make sure my clients get the strongest representation possible. But that’s just the baseline. What has helped me the most is focusing on relationships over transactions. I’m a big people-person, and ninety percent of my clients end up becoming my friends. That’s what’s given me long-term success, and it’s my favorite part about my career.”

Prior to formally entering the world of real estate in 2018, Kristina enjoyed a ten year career as a professional dancer and singer. “I used to work on Broadway, but that was a lifetime ago,” she recalls. “Afterwards, I was teaching competitive dance in Ballantyne, and right next door to our studio was a RE/MAX Executive. I had always wanted to do real estate, so when I got licensed, I started working separate jobs in buildings that were right next to each other!” The demands of pursuing two full-time professions proved insurmountable, and with the encouragement of The Premier Team leaders, Kristina eventually stepped down as an instructor to fully embrace becoming a REALTOR®. “I still miss the girls, and I will always miss performing, but it’s given me the confidence to tackle anything and communicate with clients.”

After working with RE/MAX Executive, Kristina followed Josh and Charlene Dearing to join The Dearing Team working under Costello

REI. “The people I started with were the biggest piece of the puzzle for me,” Kristina exudes. “They pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me how to hustle. They made me who I am today!” With a book of business that is over eighty percent repeat and referral clients,

Kristina decided to strike out on her own as a solo agent with Coldwell Banker in 2022. Since then, she has averaged between $10 and $12 million in annual volume by serving the entire range of her geographic territory, “from the top of Lake Norman to the bottom of Lake Wylie!”

With her business poised to continue growing in the burgeoning markets of Charlotte, Kristina hopes to encourage up-and-coming agents entering the industry. “I definitely needed more help at the beginning, and I think I have a lot to offer new REALTORS®. I’ve been talking to my BIC lately about what that might look like – I have plenty to offer, and I want to pay it forward!”

When she’s not building her enterprise, she enjoys spending time with her family, including her 2 grown boys. “More than anything, I appreciate the support of my family to become the success I am.” Kristina also connects with her neighbors as a regular member of the Mint Hill Women’s Club, where she supports multiple annual charities. She also strives to continue her career as a dancer by physically challenging herself five times a week! “The only thing I have time for is hot yoga at Reinvent Fitness in Matthews, NC – I am planning on getting certified in order to teach my own course. I probably won’t have time for that, but it’s still fun to keep learning!”
