Real Estate, Resilience, and a Lifelong Love for Austin Homes
In this episode of the Elite 25 Podcast, we sit down with Kristi Larkam, a born-and-raised Austin agent whose passion for real estate began when she was just ten years old — circling open houses in the weekend newspaper and convincing her parents to take her to every listing.

Kristi shares how early encouragement from her dad, a family tragedy that reshaped her path, and her commitment to being fully present for her children all led her into a career she never expected to love this deeply. She walks us through her journey from Coldwell Banker to Compass, the mentors who shaped her, and how growing up in Austin gives her unique insight into a rapidly evolving luxury market.

Kristi opens up about purpose, consistency, and the privilege of helping families find their place in a city she’s called home her whole life.
