Kristen Grivette: Collaboration in Action
When Kristen joined REMAX Gold four years ago, she brought with her a strong foundation in customer service, shaped by years of working in the hotel industry. After relocating from the Bay Area to Lake County during the pandemic, she was searching for a quieter lifestyle, and an opportunity to use her people-focused skillset in a new way. An open admin position at REMAX Gold offered exactly that.
Starting in 2021, Kristen quickly became an essential part of the Lake County office, supporting agents in Lakeport, Middletown, and Hidden Valley. Within her first year, she found herself drawn to the transaction coordination side of the business. Working closely with longtime TC Melissa Frey, Kristen learned the complexities of contract processing, SkySlope management, and the many details that keep transactions running smoothly. Her natural curiosity and commitment to learning made the transition seamless, eventually leading her to take on a dual role as both admin and transaction coordinator.
Balancing two positions can be challenging, but Kristen approaches each day with structure and purpose. From opening the office and supporting agents to managing emails, reviewing files, and keeping SkySlope organized, she takes pride in creating a reliable, welcoming environment. She finds real satisfaction in helping agents stay compliant and organized throughout their transactions.
“Kristen just has such a gift for getting along with people and knowing exactly what they need. At the same time, she knows exactly what the company needs in terms of file management, and her compliance mind is so dialed in with what REMAX Gold looks for.” – Cathy Risk, Director of Transaction Services & Risk Management
One of the most rewarding aspects of her job is the collaboration she shares with other REMAX Gold TCs across different offices. “Even though we’re not in the same office, the REMAX Gold TCs still feel like a close-knit team. We’re always collaborating, sharing tips, and helping each other grow,” she said. Kristen credits REMAX Gold’s extensive training, management support, and constant communication as key reasons she feels confident and informed in her role.
“It’s a kind, supportive environment with real opportunities for growth.” — Kristen Grivette
Outside of work, Kristen stays busy as a cheer coach and youth cheer director, as well as a dedicated dance mom to her three daughters. As she looks to the future, she hopes to continue helping agents modernize their business through technology, CRM tools, and emerging AI resources.
