About Kristie

Why did I choose Coldwell Banker Apex over any other real estate company? Being a Realtor® with Coldwell Banker Apex speaks for itself. Locally, nationally, and globally, we have the reach to attract more buyers to your home. Our longstanding status as the #1 real estate company in Northwest Louisiana for the past 30 years is a testament to our excellence and the outstanding service we provide.My passion for real estate and staging began at a young age. As a child, I would build homes from cardboard boxes and practice selling them with my Fisher Price figures. I frequently rearranged my surroundings, surprising my parents with new living room layouts upon their return from a night out. This passion endured into adulthood, and I pursued my dream of becoming a REALTOR® later in life, I couldn’t be happier with my decision.Originally from Michigan City, Indiana, I pursued my education in the Midwest, earning an Associate's Degree in Illustration and Graphic Design from the American Academy of Art in Chicago. For 30 years, I have designed logos, promotional items, and advertising materials for various local businesses. After gaining extensive experience working for local sign companies, I took the entrepreneurial leap and opened Ahern Sign Design in February 2003. I was actively involved in all facets of the business—from client consultations to executing their visions. This experience mirrors real estate in many ways. In 2014, I sold my sign business and relocated to Shreveport, Louisiana, and fully embraced my passion for real estate, earning my license and finding immense satisfaction in helping others achieve their dream of home ownership.I am committed to providing honesty, integrity, and personalized service to every client. My promise is to support you in every aspect of making your home ownership dreams a reality. From the first phone call until you hold the keys, I will be \"Wright by your side\" every step of the way.In my spare time, I remain an active artist, creating watercolor paintings. I enjoy working out at the local gym. I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, walking our dog, and meeting new people in our neighborhood. My extensive background in graphic design equips me to market your home effectively, ensuring it gets the attention it deserves. Having successfully owned and operated my own business for 11 years, I understand the dedication, hard work, and ambition needed to excel. My experience extends to building and flipping homes, and I've been a homeowner since 1993. These experiences have defined my approach: delivering honesty, integrity, and dedication to every client. I aim to assist you in buying or selling your home with minimal stress, and I'll be \"Wright by your side\" every step of the way.
