Christi Irwin, owner of The Irwin Group real estate brokerage in Duvall, WA, loves the area. A bedroom community close to Redmond, Bellevue, and Kirkland, Duvall is fairly rural, full of natural beauty, and small enough to be a breath of fresh air for commuters to the surrounding cities. Irwin’s roots are in Vancouver, BC, and she has always enjoyed the richness and diversity of the Northwest’s geography, economy, and people.

Christi came to Duvall and the practice of real estate out of thin air, almost literally. She has a strong background and varied experience in the airline industry, with several pilots in her family and an employment record that includes flight attendant, supervisor, and director of in-flight services for a Canadian airline. Her move to the Seattle area in 2003 was for family, but she ended up changing course and in 2004 started her real estate business at a friend’s suggestion. Although she had not considered a career in real estate, she soon developed a passion to help people land in their dream home or upgrade to the next level. It was only one year from the time Christi received her real estate license to the opening of her RE/MAX franchise in Duvall. Her colleagues and competitors in the business were incredulous that a newcomer to the real estate profession would jump in so high. Three years after that, Christi dropped the corporate ties and changed the shingle to read, “The Irwin Group”, continuing to build her team and great reputation. Christi says simply, “I love a challenge.”

The Irwin Group works the territory in and around Duvall and up to 2 hours away, from Bellingham to Tacoma. With seven agents and two support staff, that’s a lot of ground to cover. Christi says that she and her team “have the dedication, integrity, and tenacity” to get the job done. She further explains, “We’re not afraid to do what’s right, regardless of monetary impact. Money is not the goal, but if we work hard and do the right things, the money will follow.”

Christi designed The Irwin Group as a boutique office, with well-appointed furnishings and classic style. It fits well into the small community of Duvall, known to be rich in history and tradition. Christi Irwin has built her reputation by ambitiously establishing and expanding her brand throughout Duvall and engaging the residents on many levels. She is an accomplished multi-tasker and stays active in the community in several ways. As a businesswoman, Christi Irwin benefits from the preferred location and economic stability of the Eastside area. She understands the symbiotic nature of business and community, and gives back generously. Her highest profile activity is “Movies in the Park”, free outdoor screenings of current films enjoyed by thousands in the community every summer. She also supports education locally with the “Future Entrepreneurial Scholarship” for the Snoqualmie Valley High School Scholarship Foundation. Top Real Estate Agent in Washington Christi is active on several community committees and serves on the Board of Directors of the Seattle-King County Association of REALTORS®, and as State Director with the Washington Association of REALTORS®.

Christi Irwin does not hold back, whether in her business effort, community involvement, or helping with a worthy cause. It’s clear that wherever and whenever Christi Irwin gets involved, good things will happen.
