Meet Kristie Martinelli

Kristie Martinelli Novato, CA Real Estate Agent Headshot

Kristie Martinelli

Kristie was born and raised in Marin County. She attended St. Isabella’s and then Marin Catholic High School and graduated from Saint Mary’s College in Moraga with a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Italian. Both sides of Kristie’s family own and operate local restaurants, helping her to establish and forge deep roots and relationships in the community.

Kristie currently lives in Novato with her husband, a Marin County fireman and also a Marin native, and their four children.

Living locally, along with having school-aged children and being very involved in their sports and schools, makes Kristie an expert when it comes to school districts – quite possibly one of the most important factors for families in deciding where to live.

Kristie was amazing. She helped us navigate the process, found properties that we would be interested in, was quick and efficient in setting up houses to view, and answered all our questions that helped us find the house that was meant for us. Thank you, Kristie!

Kristie was wonderful from start to finish! We just moved here (Novato) from Sacramento, and looking for a home to buy was a challenging process given the distance. Kristie tailored the listings she sent us based on what we required and the aesthetic we were after. She kept the listings in our budget range and guided us through individual areas and neighborhoods. Once we made the decision to put in an offer, her expertise was apparent. Also, she personally knew the sellers' Realtors and had excellent working relationships with all the involved parties, including referring us to a wonderful mortgage broker. On a personal level, she checks in with us to make sure we are settling in and offers local knowledge and resources that are very helpful! Highly recommend Kristie and her team!

Kristie was outstanding to work with. Her attention to detail and expertise in the whole process made such a huge difference in our purchase. Honestly, it was much less stressful than I was expecting because she was so on top of it. She followed up many times on an issue that needed to be resolved, which took a lot of stress off of us. I really felt like she was taking care of us through the whole process. Highly recommend!

Kristie and her team worked tirelessly to help negotiate my purchase. I am beyond grateful for Kristie’s diligence, kindness and support throughout the entire process. She understood how important this particular house was for me, and I would not have been able to get into it without Team Martinelli. They truly went above and beyond. Thanks to them, I now have a beautiful home that exceeds all my original expectations.

Working with Kristie on the sale of our condo was a great experience. We expressed that we'd like to sell soon with minimal hassle, and she really came through for us. After she explained options for updating our unit for sale, we opted for a "freshen up". She coordinated the updates with contractors she's worked with, so our unit was on the market and staged in five weeks at a very reasonable cost. After one weekend open house, we received two offers, one all cash after only three days on the market. She negotiated very favorable terms for us, again saving us expenses. Questions about disclosure and sale documents were addressed quickly and thoroughly. We were pleased that most of the paperwork was handled online, and the Title company visit was only 15 minutes. We're very pleased with the great outcome with minimal effort on our part. The whole process was six weeks from condo vacancy to funds in our bank account.

Kristie's been our agent twice, and both times were great experiences. She's very knowledgeable about the process, marketing, and real estate trends. She was always available to answer our questions and concerns, and really helped us through the process.

I cannot recommend Kristie highly enough. She not only knows Marin County like the back of her hand, but she can work with pretty much any budget or parameter. She talks straight and clear, with no fluff or jargon. My wife and I had her as our buying agent for a three-bed home, and from the beginning, I sensed she had our best interest in mind. She knows what people need, and she seems to know every single house on the market inside and out. Within a month, we'd found what we believe to be our forever home. If we ever sell or buy again, though, we will go straight to Kristie and her team.

We chose Kristie Martinelli and team because we wanted to work with a woman-owned and led team that truly knows this community and delivers results. From our first meeting, it was clear that Kristie and her team are a powerhouse of expertise, strategy, and care. Their marketing, photography, and presentation made our home shine, and every detail was handled thoughtfully. They made the entire process feel easy and organized from start to finish, and we received a listing and had an offer within the same week. What stood out most was Kristie’s leadership. She brings confidence and clarity to everything she does, creating a sense of trust and ease from start to finish. She’s a pro who knows how to get things done and makes you feel supported every step of the way. We would work with Kristie and her mighty team at Coldwell Banker again in a heartbeat and have already recommended them to our friends and family.

Kristie is the most outstanding realtor I have ever worked with. She is professional in all aspects of her job, including communication, an excellent negotiator, and knowledgeable about the market. We recently enlisted her help in identifying and purchasing two properties to complete a 1031 exchange. She helped us identify and submit competitive offers on both properties, ensuring that our exchange was done on time. There were many parties involved, and she skillfully managed the complex communications with the exchange intermediary, other realtors, and two title companies. She has many resources in the industry and is very helpful in directing her clients to the right resource. We are so impressed with her abilities that we recommend her to everyone that we know who is buying or selling property. In fact, in the last 3 years, she has represented us in 4 transactions and we are beyond satisfied! We intend to work with her on every transaction we complete in the future. She deserves every one of the five stars that she earned.
