About Kristin Gonnella

As an experienced property investor and manager, multi-million-dollar producing Coldwell Banker Realty agent Kristin Gonnella offers a true insider’s approach to real estate. Kristin is the founder of the dynamic Gonnella Group, and together she and her team deliver outstanding service and top results to buyers and sellers throughout Chicagoland.

 

Kristin’s keen eye for detail first led to her flourishing success in professional real estate. Prior to joining Coldwell Banker®, she and her husband routinely bought single-family homes and rental properties, fixed them up, and sold or rented them. What started out as a hobby quickly transitioned into Kristin founding her own brokerage. After 14 years, she decided to join forces with Coldwell Banker to offer her clients unmatched marketing expertise and resources. Now having worked in real estate for over two decades, Kristin’s skill, intelligence, and tenacity have earned her Coldwell Banker’s International President’s Elite Award, an honor reserved for the top 2% of all Coldwell Banker agents worldwide. She is also a member of the Chicago, Illinois, and National Associations of REALTORS®.

 

With credentials like these, Kristin’s clients trust her to handle every aspect of the real estate transaction. To find buyers the perfect home, she draws on her extensive community insight and the power of Coldwell Banker to pinpoint lucrative options that fulfill her client’s wish lists. To get sellers optimal returns, Kristin focuses on effective staging, strategic pricing, and high-impact marketing. Her vast local network includes vendors, tradespeople, financial experts, and more. This concierge-level service, along with Kristin’s client-centered negotiation, is simply the best in the industry.

 

Before entering real estate, Kristin earned a B.A. in business from the University of Iowa and went on to work as a pharmaceutical sales representative, eventually selling respiratory equipment to nursing homes for Vencor Hospitals. When Vencor purchased a chain of nursing homes, Kristin jumped at the chance to become a licensed nursing home administrator. This position required meticulous organizational, interpersonal, and problem-solving ability. Quickly promoted to director of development, Kristin created a unique, performance-driven marketing plan that led her sales team to success. Now a seasoned property professional, Kristin draws on all these skills to deliver an excellent real estate experience to her clients. She has earned a nearly 100% referral business, continuously expanding the Gonnella Group’s comprehensive product suite and mentoring new agents as they join the team.

 

As a resident of Chicago since 1993, Kristin truly loves the city. She currently lives with her family in the Ravenswood Manor neighborhood. When not meeting with clients, Kristin enjoys volunteering in her community and chatting with new friends and old acquaintances from her days coaching youth sports. If you are thinking about exploring Chicagoland’s exciting real estate market, Kristin Gonnella and the Gonnella Group are ready to take your call, roll up their sleeves, and go to work for you!
