About Krissy Cruse

Ever since she was a kid, Krissy Cruse knew she wanted to be a Realtor. Born and raised in Silicon Valley, she saw her local agent as the town celebrity, declaring over family dinners that she couldn't wait to be just like him when she grew up. As time would tell, it's clear that Krissy got her wish -- and so did the many clients she represents. Today a top 10 agent at Pearson Smith Realty in Northern Virginia for 5 years running, Krissy has built a business powered by irreplaceable experience. She entered the Bay Area real estate scene back in 2002 during its market downturn, gaining the resilience, adaptability, and communication skills needed to navigate the dot-com bust with her momentum intact. Krissy's next move brought her to Idaho, where she expanded her reach and grew her marketing skills to empower every client to win in a competitive new construction market. Twenty years and two relocations later, Krissy is seen across Northern Virginia as the agent that clients can count on, consistently selling 40+ properties that exceed $20M in sales annually. An expert on every facet of buying and selling, Krissy knows how to be the difference her clients need, always delivering top-tier results while meeting any challenge that arises along the way. Combining analytical precision and a passion for people, with Krissy, clients never have to choose between data-driven insights and the benefits of a connected network -- they get the best of both worlds.

Purchasing and selling a home is a nerve wrecking experience. Fortunately, that doesn't have to be the case. That's why my family have been using Krissy for all of our real estate transactions. She goes above and beyond helping us understand the current market and what our options are. She treats us like family, constantly checking in on us well after closing.

Krissy was so professional and very helpful and knowledgeable. She made our purchase of the home go so smoothly. She will take the time to find out about the area and direct you in the right direction. She has been in the Real Estate business for over 26 years, and she has a great understanding of Real Estate.

Krissy is AMAZING! My fiancA(C)e and I were looking for a house before getting married this year and we could not have asked for a better realtor. She listened to all of our needs/wants and was responsive within minutes! We highly recommend her to anyone looking in the area who is in need of a realtor who is passionate, focused, driven, and most importantly someone who wants to help find your dream home. We cant thank Krissy enough for helping us find the perfect home to start our new journey!

We cannot say enough great things about Krissy! As a military family and first-time homebuyers, we were looking for a home that checked a lot of boxesaEUR"close to work, in a family-friendly neighborhood, with room to grow, and in an area with great amenities. Krissy, being a military spouse herself, completely understood our unique needs and made the whole process feel so much less overwhelming. She was incredibly patient and supportive, always keeping us in the loop with new listings and making time to show us every home we were interested in. As first-time buyers, we had a lot of questions, and Krissy always made us feel informed and empowered. She truly did her homework, gave honest advice, and had our best interest at heart the entire time. When it came time to make an offer, Krissy guided us through the process with confidence and expertise. Our offer was accepted, and she was a total pro in helping us navigate the final steps through closing. Shes not only a skilled realtor, but also just a joy to work withaEUR"friendly, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to helping her clients succeed. We will definitely be working with her again in the future and cant recommend her highly enough!

We interviewed 3 local realtors and, fortunately, selected Krissy. Her knowledge of the housing market in Northern Virginia, including condominiums, was instrumental in the successful sale of our condo. Very responsive to our questions as the process went along.
