Kina De Santis — a member of the National Association of REALTOR’s 2024 class of 30 Under 30 and a 2022, 2023 and 2024 RealTrends Best Real Estate Professional — sold her first home in May 2020 right after the pandemic started. Selling over 70 homes during her first 2 years as an agent was no small feat. She used the momentum to grow her team and launch her own boutique brokerage, Reframe at the start of 2023. In the last four years, Kina and her team have closed over $200 million in volume. In 2023, Reframe increased volume by over 50% when the market was down.With a background and operations and tech, Kina relies heavily on innovative tools to create a seamless process for her clients. Because most of Kina’s clientele comprises first-time buyers and sellers, she walks them through every step of the transaction to ensure they understand what they need to know to invest wisely. She even shares educational videos and breaks down contracts, making sure her clients are clear about what they’re signing and what that means for them long-term. With additional expertise in renovating and remodeling homes, Kina’s able to gauge the scope of essential projects, enlisting a team of professionals to transform homes, both presale and post-purchase. Her company, reframe, is redefining the real estate landscape by dominating the social media sphere, turning renters into homeowners, and celebrating its clients’ wins in a big way.
