About
After graduating from college, Krista Meili worked in sales and was briefly a stay-at-home mom. When she realized she wanted a challenge outside of the home, she got her real estate license while pregnant with her second son in 2006 and started her career shortly after. Now, Krista is a licensed realtor in Oregon and Washington and enjoys the sense of accomplishment she feels when she is able to help clients solve their challenges!
Krista considers herself a concierge realtor. Accordingly, she always tries to anticipate her clients’ needs and provide proactive solutions, tailored to their particular situation. She aims to make herself readily available to clients because she understands the stress that can come with any real estate transaction, and wants her clients to feel confident that she is supporting them.
Giving back is important to Krista, and she donates a portion from each home sale to the Oregon Humane Society, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or Save the Children. She also volunteers at her children’s school every chance she gets! Krista’s hobbies include spending time with her children, running and cooking.

Krista is a gem.She helped us sell two homes this year that had been rentals for the last decade and needed TLC. I needed a realtor who could help spruce up both buildings before putting them on the market. Originally, I thought I'd do it myself, but it is pretty daunting to try to get the attention of ANY subcontractors in this city so I gave up. I decided what I needed was a "full service" realtor who could basically do all the work for me so that we could make as much money as possible off the sale. This is not something any realtor will do, and I wasn't sure I could find it. I had received mailings from Krista and decided to give her a call. Sure enough, she has a magical rolodex of contractors who not only call her back, but do the job QUICKLY.As soon as we signed a contract with Krista, she came up with a game plan to tackle the (considerable) punch lists for the two properties. When she told me her timeline to get the houses on the market, I think I actually laughed. "No way!" I thought. (Obviously I've had terrible luck with contractors.) Well, she continued to amaze me as the weeks ticked by. She began by gathering bids, which she provided for me with her recommendations for who to go with. All the bids were very reasonable. Then she did shopping for lights/fixtures/knobs and in many cases drove them to my house to get approval before having them installed. She has a real designers eye and I soon realized I could depend on her to make good aesthetic and period-appropriate choices.Right around the date she had given, the houses looked amazing. Painted inside and out, new tile work in kitchens and bath, new lights, etc. All the things that really stand out and make someone fall in love with a house. To top it all off, Krista has her OWN staging that is included with her percentage and it is a perfect neutral palette that really breathed life into the homes. They both sold within a couple of weeks.One had a sewer issue that was a real hassle. We didn't get a sewer inspection when we bought it and the new owner found out that the sewer line crossed the neighbors property. Krista had to arrange with the neighbors to get their sewer line replaced so that the new owners could replace theirs BEFORE closing. I barely heard about it because Krista took care of the whole thing.If you are looking for a low stress sale, with an eye to detail and design, with someone who can tell you where (and where not) to put your money to help the sale, Krista is hands down the one. We literally could not have done it without her and I have doubts that many of the realtors in this city could hold a candle to the amount of work she puts in to her sale properties. You can't go wrong!

Krista handled all the details for the sale of our house after we had moved over 1200 miles away. It was so easy. She set up appointments, did a great job staging & we had two offers within days. She continued to work on our behalf once we accepted an offer and even oversaw a rather extensive repair! We love her.

Krista did an amazing job of helping my partner and I sell a condo in Portland. We had already moved across the country and were looking for someone that was responsive and engaged in the process since we couldn't be there to make things happen. Krista was always very quick to respond, answering all our questions and giving us regular updates. We really appreciated her diligence in hosting open houses every weekend, and sticking with it until we got a price we were all happy with. She sold our condo for more than any other realtor we interviewed had priced it at. Highly recommend working with her

Krista not only helped us find our house in the Greater Portland area but also helped us sell it a few years later when we were relocated back to the East Coast. Krista was patient, professional, and her knowledge of the area, the market, and housing availability was top notch! We truly could not have asked for a better listing agent/realtor. Thank you Krista!

Krista did a magnificent job managing the sale of our existing home and helped us find and buy another one. We interviewed several realtors and are so glad that we chose her. We thought it would take a long time to sell our home, but not only did it sell quickly, we got an offer ABOVE our asking price! Krista knew a lot of contractors, which was very helpful in getting things fixed up before the sale, and later in response to buyer's requested improvements. Hope we never have to move again, but if we do we'd definitely want her to help with our next one.
