Kristin Jarrett, Triad's Finest by Exp Realty

Kristin Jarrett, Triad's Finest by Exp Realty I love combining my passion for homes, families and community through real estate. Prior to real estate I worked in sales, finance, and operations.

These skills combine to help me meet my goal of always exceeding my customers expectations. My passion for homes, families and community led me to real estate. I spent the first 15 years of my career in healthcare, sales and finance working at Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital, TAP Pharmaceuticals and Novartis Animal Health. During this time, I earned an MBA at Wake Forest University and exp

erienced two corporate relocation moves of my own. I enjoy being involved in my community and am the coordinator for the community Meals on Wheels program in Summerfield, a foster parent for Red Dog Farm Animal Rescue, a past executive board member of Northern Elementary PTA, fundraising chair for BSA Troop #465 in Oak Ridge and an active member of Summerfield Peace United Methodist Church. I love being involved in my community. It is my belief that hard work and integrity are the keys to success and I enjoy making the home buying and selling process as seamless as possible for my clients. If you are buying, this means finding the perfect home for you, and overseeing all aspects from offer to close. If you are selling, I will advise you on preparing your home for the best return possible, use my expertise and resources to market your home, and guide you through the entire transaction. I look forward to exceeding your expectations and becoming your trusted advisor in one of your biggest life transactions.

One of my favorite spots in Greensboro is the Proximity Hotel.

The landscaping is always beautiful, the décor is thoughtfully done, and the entire property has a style that really stands out. It’s one of those places that feels welcoming the moment you arrive.

If you're new to town—or you've lived here for years and just haven't checked it out yet—I highly recommend adding it to your list.

Print Works Bistro is located right inside the hotel and offers a great brunch experience, with large windows overlooking the gardens. It’s the perfect place to slow down, enjoy a meal, and take in one of Greensboro’s most beautiful settings.

Have you been to Proximity Hotel or Print Works Bistro? I'd love to hear what you think.

Most people go on vacation and tour museums.

I go looking at real estate. 😄

While visiting Portland, I was so excited to come across these incredible floating homes for sale. They're such a unique part of the local housing market, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a look inside.

A special thank you to Alyssa Westmoreland with Divine Real Estate for showing us around this beautiful floating home. Alyssa specializes in floating homes and has the fun job of helping buyers and sellers navigate this one-of-a-kind niche market. If you're curious about floating homes, be sure to check out her website at FloatingHomesForSale.com.

This particular home offers approximately 1,300 square feet of living space with a beautifully updated kitchen, spacious living area, charming porthole details, outdoor entertaining spaces, private dock access, a full bathroom, and two bedrooms. The primary bedroom even appears large enough for a king-size bed. I've learned that some floating homes in the area can be as large as 3,000 square feet!

One of my favorite parts of traveling is getting to experience different real estate markets and see how people live in communities across the country. Real estate truly never stops being fascinating.

Have you ever toured a floating home before?

IF YOU'RE 50+ AND HELPING YOUR PARENTS NAVIGATE THEIR NEXT CHAPTER, THIS IS A CONVERSATION WORTH HAVING NOW.

One of the biggest mistakes families make is waiting until a health crisis or major life event forces a housing decision.

The best time to talk about the future of the home is before there’s pressure, stress, or urgency.

Start with simple questions.

“What’s working well in the house right now?”

“What feels harder than it used to?”

“What tasks are becoming difficult to manage?”

These conversations give your parents the opportunity to share what they need, what they enjoy about their current home, and where they may need additional support.

Sometimes the solution is bringing in help.

Sometimes it's making small modifications.

And sometimes it's exploring whether a different home would better support their lifestyle.

Would a one-level home be easier?

Would a townhouse eliminate the burden of yard maintenance?

Would downsizing create more freedom and less stress?

When these conversations happen early, families have more options, more time, and better outcomes.

Change is much easier to consider when it feels like a choice instead of a necessity.

If you're starting to think about what's next for your parents, having an open conversation today can make all the difference tomorrow.

Most people look at a bathroom and see finishes.

I look at a bathroom and ask one question:

Will this home still work for you 10 or 20 years from now?

One of the advantages I bring to my clients is my background as an occupational therapist. When I'm helping buyers in their 50s and beyond find a home to downsize into, I'm not just looking at the house as it exists today—I'm looking at how well it can support them as they age in place.

One of the first places I focus on is the bathroom.

Curbless or low-threshold showers can be a game changer. They make daily life easier today and can help homeowners avoid costly renovations down the road.

I'm also looking at the overall layout. Is the bathroom large enough? Are the doorways wide enough? If a walker or wheelchair were ever needed, could someone comfortably access the shower, sink, and toilet?

The good news is that some accessibility features are easy to add later. Grab bars can be installed. Toilets can be replaced with comfort-height models.

But the bigger items—bathroom size, layout, and shower accessibility—are much more expensive to change if they're not already in place.

That's why I encourage my clients to think beyond what works today and consider what will serve them well for years to come.

A home should fit your lifestyle now and support your independence in the future.

Most people start downsizing in the wrong room.

And that’s exactly why they quit after a week.

If you’re getting ready to downsize, don’t start in the spaces you use every single day.

Don’t start in the primary bedroom.

Don’t start in the living room.

Save those for last and keep living in them normally until you’re truly ready to move.

Instead, start with the less emotional spaces first.

The linen closet.

The garage.

The coat closet.

The guest room.

Start building momentum in the easy areas before you tackle the harder decisions.

Then once you’re feeling progress, move into the more emotional spaces — family photos, kids’ bedrooms, keepsakes.

Because downsizing isn’t just physical. It’s emotional too.

And the people who handle it best usually do it in stages instead of trying to do everything all at once.

The goal isn’t perfection overnight.

The goal is making steady progress without overwhelming yourself in the process.

Thinking about moving to Greensboro? There are a few things newcomers quickly discover that make life here special.

Yes, we experience all four seasons. And while many people expect snow, Greensboro is actually known for getting its fair share of ice storms. That means occasional power outages and one thing you'll notice right away—people here love their generators. If you've ever lived through an ice storm, you'll understand why having one can be a game changer.

But what really stands out to most transplants isn't the weather—it's the people.

The slower pace of life, the lack of heavy traffic, and the genuine kindness you encounter on a daily basis are things that consistently surprise newcomers. Whether you're running errands, meeting neighbors, or grabbing a coffee, there's a friendliness here that can catch people off guard at first. Before long, it becomes one of the reasons they never want to leave.

I still remember flying into PTI Airport for a job interview years ago and being amazed by how welcoming everyone was. There was something different about Greensboro. Looking back now, I think it's the joy people have from living here and the quality of life that comes with it.

It's more than a place to live—it's a lifestyle people grow to love.

One thing that makes me look at homes differently is my background as an occupational therapist.

Before real estate, I spent years working with people in all kinds of mobility situations. And even though many of my clients today don't have those challenges, I can't help but think ahead when we're touring homes.

I'm looking at things like:

• Is the primary bedroom on the main level?

• Is the laundry room easily accessible?

• Is there enough space to comfortably move through the kitchen?

• If someone needed a walker temporarily after surgery, would the layout still work?

• If there are steps, could a simple ramp be added without major modifications?

These may not be the first things most buyers notice, but they're often the details that can make a home work for years to come.

Especially for downsizers and homeowners 50+, I'm always thinking about how a home could support aging comfortably in place. Even when a property isn't specifically labeled as ADA accessible, I'm evaluating how adaptable it could be if life circumstances change.

Because buying a home isn't just about what works today—it's about choosing a home that can continue working for you tomorrow.

If you're looking for a home with long-term comfort and functionality in mind, I'd love to help you find the right fit.

If you have time before your move, this is the one thing that pays off the most:

Start packing about 6 months before you plan to list your home.

Most homeowners are surprised when I suggest removing 30–50% of what's currently in the house. But the goal isn't just packing—it's creating a space that buyers can instantly connect with.

Nobody minds seeing a few boxes in the garage.

What buyers do notice is when they walk through a home that feels clean, open, and uncluttered.

The less attention on your personal belongings, the easier it is for buyers to see the beauty of the home itself.

When you tackle the process slowly over several months, it's far less overwhelming—especially if you're downsizing.

And here's what I see over and over again: homes that are packed and decluttered before we list are easier to deep clean, show better, attract more buyer interest right away, and often achieve a stronger sales price.

That's why I call it getting paid to pack.

Thinking about selling and not sure where to start? Send me a message and I'll help you create a game plan.
