KRISTEN JONES "After losing my father to heart disease... it has motivated me to be healthier and lead an active lifestyle." “My sense of fulfillment comes from making my clients happy,” says Kristen Jones, luxury Realtor at McEnearney Associates, Inc. It’s a philosophy that’s proven successful for Kristen throughout her career. In 2020 alone she sold $33M of real estate and has been named Top Agent by Washingtonian Magazine for two consecutive years in a row.

Kristen's family means everything to her and family is why she is so inspired to support heart health here in our community. "After losing my father to heart disease when he was 66 years young, it has motivated me to be healthier and lead an active lifestyle. I want to be able to watch my grandchildren play at Lee Street Park someday."

A Pittsburgh native, Kristen relocated to the Northern Virginia area 22 years ago to pursue a teaching position for Fairfax County Public Schools. However, she eventually transitioned to her career in real estate. “I always had an interest in decorating, renovating and homes and my flexible schedule allows me to be there for my family,” she says of the career swap.

When this Old Town resident isn’t spending time with her children, walking her pug, Daisy, or supporting local restaurants with her husband of 17 years, she is going above and beyond to satisfy her clients. “Finding balance is always a work in progress. I have an inner drive and motivation that constantly pushes me to stay active, and to do better in my career and for my family.”
