Meet Kristin Borostyan
Real estate advisor · eXp Realty · Northern Virginia
I help homeowners across Northern Virginia prepare and present their homes in a way that resonates with buyers and leads to stronger offers.
My background is in counseling, which shapes how I work with clients: with strategy, yes, but also with care. Selling a home is rarely just a transaction. It's a life transition, and I take that seriously. My goal is to help you feel clear and confident at every step.
Before your home ever hits the market, I handle the details coordinating updates, staging, and contractors so everything comes together behind the scenes. You stay focused on what's ahead. I make sure your home makes the right first impression.

What Clients Say
★★★★★
"Kristin was absolutely amazing in working with us to sell our home in Fairfax Station, Virginia. She was wonderful to work with and tireless in getting our home ready for sale and obtaining a great offer for our home. Her recommendations were spot-on for a successful showing strategy that resulted in 60 families touring the home followed by multiple offers the first day the house went on the market -- and a great outcome for us. I highly recommend Kristin!"

★★★★★
The best home selling experience. They listened to my goal and made it happen. My home sold within seven days. Kristin is an amazing Realtor. Kristin and Nikki kept me informed every step of the way. The photographer made my home look like a model home. My home was advertised nationally. Their marketing strategy is the best. I recommend them to anyone who is serious about buy/selling a home. You will be happy you chose the team to represent you.

Kristin made the entire process as stress-free as possible given our unique situation. She was always available to answer my questions and provided
realistic, valuable insights into the local market. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and ultimately help find the unique buyer for my property that I was hoping to get. Throughout the entire process, she was patient, supportive, and encouraging and made the selling experience a positive one. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home… Thank you for your outstanding service!

★★★★★
Kristin and her team were simply exceptional. I have always previously questioned the value of having a realtor when selling a home. Kristin erased all doubt. We sold our home and lived out of state at the time. She handled everything, including arranging repair contractors, did the final walk thru for us when the tenant left, and even worked with the property management company to ensure the house was prepared. What I loved most about Kristin is her communication. Every single time. When she made a commitment, she followed through. She quickly gained my trust in this way. She frequently provided updates, without being overbearing. It was the best experience I’ve ever had working with a realtor. I will recommend her to anyone I know that is looking to selling a home. Thanks again Kristin!
