Why Choose Me? |
|
|
|
Among my best assets is that I’m a genuine, down to earth kind of
gal who sincerely cares about my clients. As my they quickly
discover (click here
to see my client testimonials), sincerity, honesty and loyalty
to my clients are the cornerstone of how I conduct my business.
|
|
|
|
Working
tirelessly, with compassion and understanding, I feel
allows me to provide the best possible service while
maintaining a relationship that is real. While every real
estate agent these days has access to an abundance of
information, I sometimes feel the human connection is
lacking when it comes to business and real estate. |
|
|
Having
recently purchased my first home, I was able to experience
first hand just how it feels from the perspective of a
buyer. It has given me an entirely new understanding and
appreciation of what my clients go thorough emotionally
when buying or selling a house. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
As a result, I
have a much greater and more personal insight into my client’s
needs and concerns on every level which has enabled me to become
an even more effective advocate on their behalf. In addition to
the professionalism and expertise you’ll receive from me as a
highly trained and experienced agent, you can be confident that I
truly understand the process and am here for you on that personal
level which often gets lost in the frenzy of it all. Sounds pretty
basic but applying this personal experience to my business
relationships has been a tremendous transformation and has
resulted in exceptionally smooth transactions for my clients. |

My name is Kris
Kendall. I've began visiting the Columbia River Gorge in 1996 and
moved here shortly thereafter. I decided to move here for many
reasons, but it was only after I had made Hood River my home that
I became truly aware of the wonder and beauty of this area. |
|
|
|
Rich in culture,
a strong sense of family and an amazing abundance of recreational
opportunities, the area is regularly listed among the country’s
best places to live, work and recreate by many national magazines.
In any direction I can choose between dozens of outdoor activates
including hiking, biking, windsurfing, kiteboarding, kayaking,
standup paddling, swimming, fishing, skiing, climbing, horseback
riding, camping and much more. Many of the activities, such as
windsurfing, kayaking and fishing for salmon and steelhead, enjoy
world-class status. And, all of these activates, along with
excellent dining and more leisurely pursuits, are in the midst of
spectacular scenic wonder, from the rivers to the dramatic
foothills, lush forests, spacious valleys and snow-capped
mountains. |

I can’t imagine
a better place to call home. Each community in the Gorge possesses
its own unique charm and offers the type of familiarity that is
distinctive and extraordinary in this day and age of expansion and
growth. One of the greatest assets of the Columbia River Gorge
area is just that - the feeling of true community and after living
here I have made so many amazing friends that have come to be MY
family. In my opinion the residents who live here, although
diverse, appreciate the natural beauty and surroundings the Gorge
offers, love being healthy and physically active, and have a
vested interest in family as it relates to the community. All of
these characteristics are fantastic and make the area even more
desirable. |
|
|
|
During my years
working full time as a Realtor in the Gorge I’ve earned my GRI,
Graduate Realtor Institute and CRS, Certified Residential
Specialist Accreditations. I love the challenges my career
provides and the deep sense of fulfillment of helping people
achieve their dreams. |

|
|
As a buyer, you
can trust that I will work tirelessly, applying my years of
experience, to help you find your perfect home or property. As a
seller, as your listing agent I will go above and beyond to find
the right buyer for your home. I bring win-win negotiating skills
to the table, along with persistence, patience, honesty and
integrity. I am detail oriented, organized and an extremely hard
worker. If your plans are to move out of the area, I can also put
you in the care of a competent agent in the city or town you are
moving to that will be an expert in that area. |
|
|
|
Communication,
honesty, loyalty and authenticity is what I feel the most
significant components of any successful relationship whether it
is personal or business. My sincerity and genuine caring for
people provides me with the ability to truly listen and hear the
needs that my clients are communicating. |

About Me |
|
|
|
I grew up in the
quaint little beach town of San Clemente in Southern California.
Much of my youth and time as a young adult was spent at the beach
in the salty ocean waters, swimming, surfing, training others and
competing in beach competitions & triathlons while I worked as a
California State Beach Life guard for 15 years during the summers.
My winter months were spent working in the commercial/television
and film industry and attending college where I received a
Bachelor of Science in Physiology, Kinesiology, Physical Education
and Sports Medicine with a minor in Nutrition from Cal Poly San
Luis Obispo in 1991. I then landed a position as an associate
executive manager and personal trainer at a large corporate
fitness facility in Irvine California. It was during those early
years of being a personal trainer and lifeguarding that it became
clear to me that I loved working with people from all types of
backgrounds and is why being a real estate agent is the perfect
career for me. |

I moved to the
Northwest to Portland in 1997, discovered the Gorge while becoming
an avid windsurfer and then moved to Hood River in 2002. I’m a
very active person and I take advantage and enjoy many of the
outdoor sports and activities that the Columbia Gorge offers.
Windsurfing, kite boarding, skiing, running, horseback riding,
snowboarding, kayaking, hiking, swimming, and mountain biking. My
other passions include the practice of yoga, amateur photography,
and lots of community involvement. I am very much involved in the
local schools & community arenas offering my time and efforts in
support of the foundation of what the Columbia River Gorge
community supports….children and family! |
|
|
|
In closing, I
must not leave out the most significant and important part of my
life today. It is the pure joy and fulfillment I find have found
in being an active and involved parent to my young daughter who is
reaping the amazing benefits of being raised in this community.
She continues to blossom in ways I could not have imagined! |

|
And along with
our longtime faithful sidekick, our sweet golden/lab named KARAT,
the 3 of us have found the Columbia River Gorge a wonderful place
to call our home. |
