Krissy Cruse

Ever since she was a kid, Krissy Cruse knew she wanted to be a Realtor. Born and raised in Silicon Valley, she saw her local agent as the town celebrity, declaring over family dinners that she couldn’t wait to be just like him when she grew up. As time would tell, it’s clear that Krissy got her wish — and so did the many clients she represents.



Today a top 10 agent at Pearson Smith Realty in Northern Virginia for 5 years running, Krissy has built a business powered by irreplaceable experience. She entered the Bay Area real estate scene back in 2002 during its market downturn, gaining the resilience, adaptability, and communication skills needed to navigate the dot-com bust with her momentum intact. Krissy’s next move brought her to Idaho, where she expanded her reach and grew her marketing skills to empower every client to win in a competitive new construction market.



Twenty years and two relocations later, Krissy is seen across Northern Virginia as the agent that clients can count on, consistently selling 40+ properties that exceed $20M in sales annually. An expert on every facet of buying and selling, Krissy knows how to be the difference her clients need, always delivering top-tier results while meeting any challenge that arises along the way. Combining analytical precision and a passion for people, with Krissy, clients never have to choose between data-driven insights and the benefits of a connected network — they get the best of both worlds.
