Kristina Rostad

Licensed Real Estate Salesperson

I went into real estate after a decade of living in New Canaan because I love this community, know it extremely well and have both the steady hand and the open heart necessary to guide my clients through the complicated and emotional home buying process. 

Adept at reading people, I offer a distinctive perspective and incomparable service. I pride myself on my insane work ethic, attention to detail and ability to harness potential. 

With my interdisciplinary background, I provide a perspicacious combination of left and right-brained thinking.  Coming from the fashion world and raised by a master carpenter and builder, I have one eye on aesthetics and the other on structural integrity.

My work ethic and academic performance afforded me an incredible education at Deerfield and University of Chicago where I tackled a triple major in psychology, art criticism and philosophy.  I have been a photographer and a mental health rehabilitation counselor, a model and a mother, a writer and a yogi. I move into real estate having seen the world and understanding people. Being an autodidact, I am always seeking innovative strategies and greater knowledge – both of which I get to do daily in my role as Realtor.

Past clients would describe me as a fierce advocate, dedicated, thorough, diligent, punctual, collaborative, and savvy. My experience with people has engendered the understanding that what we all want more than anything is to be listened to. I pride myself on my ability to establish both clarity of vision and depth of connection in my relationships.

From a marketing perspective, I have extensive experience in both copy and graphic design and innately grasp the importance of and have the skill to design campaigns that speak to the reader and sell.  I have spent years in front of and behind the camera.  I have written an award winning show and developed campaigns. Now, working under Sotheby's banner means I can offer my clients unparalleled marketing partnerships, superior branding and exceptional service. I use technology to streamline my process, parse data and connect with my global network – all unique value propositions of the Sotheby’s International Realty brand.

Each day I strive to authentically embody my core values of loyalty, wisdom and strength. My perfect day as a Realtor contains the singular moment when I know I’ve found my client exactly what they are looking for, be it that rare Harvard Five masterpiece or the perfect buyer. When I am working with a client, I am constantly honing the path to their highest and best outcome. Simply put: if you are my client, you are family.  I will listen carefully, advocate tirelessly, and negotiate ruthlessly. I love the world of real estate and being of service. I can think of no greater service than helping people find home.
