I help buyers and sellers in Scottsdale, AZ, with a focus on first-time buyers and growing families.
I am a real estate agent with the Kristan Cole Network at Keller Williams Arizona Realty in Scottsdale. My focus areas include first-time buyers, growing families and multi-family and small MFR investors. I specialize in serving first-time buyers throughout the Greater Phoenix area, helping individuals reach their goal of homeownership with clarity and care.
Before entering real estate, I built a career in corporate recruitment and high-end guest services. I served as a Senior Corporate Recruiter for MGA Homecare and a Talent Acquisition Specialist at Plexus Worldwide, both in Scottsdale. Previously, I was an Executive Recruiter for Search Solution Group in Charlotte and an HR Generalist at Harvest Marketing Group. My professional background also includes guest service leadership roles as a Team Lead for Butler Services at the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel and an Ambassador for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company at Dorado Beach. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology Management and Administrative Processes from Universidad de Puerto Rico and earned my real estate license from the Arizona School of Real Estate and Business. Today, I use the communication and organizational skills developed in recruitment and luxury hospitality to support my clients across Scottsdale and the surrounding Valley.
