FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE AREA: "It's easy to fall in love with Astoria, and its surrounding areas. We have enjoyed living in the rural area of Astoria known as Lewis and Clark. I feel so fortunate to be a part of this wonderful community - with its great schools, fresh air, many activities, and opportunities." Kristen Benton moved to the Astoria area 15 years ago from Las Vegas, Nevada. She can relate to the many advantages of living on the North Oregon coast and is always happy to entertain questions from prospective clients. Kristen works diligently with both buyers and sellers and her attention to detail in each transaction has garnered her significant repeat business. We have seen a consistent growth in North Coast real estate, yet the real estate market values are still reasonably priced compared to other coastal areas TRANSACTIONS FOR BOTH BUYERS AND SELLERS: Kristen holds a GRI designation (Graduate of Realtors Institute,) and is a Member of The National Association of Realtors, Clatsop Association of Realtors, MLS, and holds an Oregon License in Tax preparation. In addition, she is knowledgeable about both real estate tax and law. BUYING If you are reading this and thinking of relocating to the Pacific Northwest, you came to the right place!
