If You’re Looking for the Best Real Estate Agent in Duluth…

You’re probably not just looking for someone to open the front door.
You’re looking for someone who understands the market, can guide you through decisions with clarity, and helps you move forward without second-guessing every step.

That’s where I come in.

I’m Kristine Schwartz, a Duluth-based real estate agent, and I work with clients who want a more thoughtful, strategic approach to buying or selling a home—whether that’s along Lake Superior, in the hillside neighborhoods, Cloquet, Rice Lake, Barnum, Hermantown or throughout the Superior and Northern Wisconsin Areas.

What “Best” Actually Means in Duluth Real Estate

There are a lot of agents in the Duluth & Superior Area.

Some are part of large teams.
Some focus on volume.
Some rely heavily on systems.

But real estate here isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Different neighborhoods behave differently.
Waterfront homes don’t follow the same rules as city properties.

And timing matters more than most people realize—especially in a seasonal market like ours.

The “best” agent isn’t the loudest.
It’s the one who knows how to read the situation—and adjust.

My Approach


I don’t believe in pressure or pushing people into decisions.

I believe in:
  • Clear strategy over guesswork
  • Honest conversations over sales tactics
  • Positioning your home (or your offer) to actually win
For Sellers, that means:
  • Preparing your home intentionally (not just listing it)
  • Understanding how your property fits into the current market
  • Creating momentum early—when it matters most
For Buyers, it means:
  • Knowing when to move quickly—and when to pause
  • Understanding what’s happening behind the scenes (not just what’s online)
  • Writing offers that are competitive without being reckless.

Relocating to Duluth?

Many of my clients are relocating—from the Twin Cities, out of state, or even across the country. 

If that’s you, you’re not just buying a house.
You’re trying to understand an entirely new area, often from a distance.

I help bridge that gap with:

  • Virtual tours and honest feedback
  • Insight into neighborhoods, lifestyle, and commute
  • Guidance on what actually matters (and what doesn’t)

I value high-touch support for every client, and for those that are making a move from further away, this becomes even more important for them and for me.

What Clients Appreciate Most

Clients often tell me they feel:

More confident in their decisions
Less overwhelmed by the process
Clear on what’s happening at every step

Because real estate—especially in a market like Duluth—should feel manageable, not chaotic.

Let’s Have a Conversation

Whether you’re just starting to think about a move or already actively looking, I’m happy to connect.

No pressure. No expectations.

Just a conversation about where you’re at—and what makes the most sense next.
