ABOUT UNCOMMON HOMES
Real estate, with your nervous system in mind.
I am Kristin Francis. I sell homes across Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland, and I care as much about how a house makes you feel as what it lists for.I am Kristin Francis.

MY STORY
The short version
Twenty years in real estate. Investing since 2004. Fifteen years in marketing before that, and almost a decade of nervous-system training since. I am a native Northern Virginian, licensed in Virginia, DC, and Maryland, and I took my own business from $20 million to $60 million in volume. Not by grinding harder. By learning to regulate my own nervous system and letting that steadiness change how I show up for the people I work for.Twenty years in real estate. Investing since 2004.

Once I felt the difference in my own body, I could not unsee it in houses. The listing that felt heavy the second you walked in. The primary bedroom facing a streetlight. The kitchen with no morning light. Small things. Your body files every one of them.Once I felt the difference in my own body, I could not unsee it in houses.

I am not well known in the wellness world. I am well known in real estate, and somewhere along the way I became the person in this industry who knows this material. So I do the work a little differently. I help you buy and sell with a clear head, and I read every home for the details that decide whether you actually rest there.

WHAT I STAND FOR
How I show up for you
The parts of working together that clients tell me they remember most.
Steady, never pushy
You will never feel rushed by me. We move at the pace that keeps your decision clear and your shoulders down.You will never feel rushed. We move at the pace that keeps your decision clear.
Health is part of the value
Light, air, water, and quiet decide what a home is worth to you, and increasingly what it is worth to the next buyer.Light, air, water, and quiet decide what a home is worth to you, and to the next buyer.
The whole picture
I am always thinking a few moves ahead, past the closing table, to how the place will feel to live in.I think a few moves ahead, past closing, to how it will feel to live in.

HOW I WORK
Four steps, start to settled in
A steady, predictable process from our first coffee to the day you unpack.
Sit down together
We get clear on your life, your budget, and what a good day at home looks like for you.We get clear on your life, your budget, and what a good day at home looks like.
Search or prep
Buying, I curate and vet. Selling, I stage, price, and market so your home shows at its best.
Read every room
Light, air, water, sound, and flow, translated into plain language you can act on.
Close and settle
I stay through closing and the move, so the finish line feels like an exhale.
THE TEAM
The people behind your move. I lead, and a small team keeps every sale moving.
