Kristi Merritt - REALTOR®

About Kristi

Driven. Tenacious. Honest to the core. Kristi is a licensed Realtor serving Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina with a mission: to make your real estate journey seamless, successful, and deeply supported.

Originally from Upstate New York, Kristi launched her real estate career in 2019 and quickly made her mark—earning Rookie of the Year and becoming a top-producing agent in her market. But her edge isn’t just in the numbers; it’s in her mindset. She’s soft with people, but tough on the problems. A fierce negotiator and detail-obsessed professional, Kristi fights for her clients like their goals are her own—because to her, they are.

Before real estate, Kristi built and led businesses focused on helping others reach their goals—so advocacy is second nature. That background, paired with her personal experience buying and selling homes, gives her rare insight into the emotional weight and complexity of real estate transactions. She knows what’s at stake, and she shows up fully, every time.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or relocating from afar, Kristi brings clear guidance, cutting-edge tools, and a calming presence to every step of the process. She leverages the national power of eXp Realty while offering the hands-on, local support of a trusted advisor.

Rooted in family, fueled by purpose, and planted right on the NC/SC line, Kristi isn’t just here to close deals—she’s here to build relationships. The kind that last. The kind that turn clients into friends, and homes into legacies.

Looking for someone who will go to bat for you, not just open doors? You’ve found her. Kristi is your REALTOR® for life.
