Connecting with the community<br />
<strong>Christi</strong> <strong>Irwin</strong>, owner of The <strong>Irwin</strong> Group real<br />
estate brokerage in Duvall, WA, loves the area.<br />
A bedroom community close to Redmond,<br />
Bellevue, and Kirkland, Duvall is fairly rural,<br />
full of natural beauty, and small enough to be<br />
a breath of fresh air for commuters to the<br />
surrounding cities. <strong>Irwin</strong>’s roots are in<br />
Vancouver, BC, and she has always enjoyed<br />
the richness and diversity of the Northwest’s<br />
geography, economy, and people.<br />
<strong>Christi</strong> came to Duvall and the practice of real<br />
estate out of thin air, almost literally. She has<br />
a strong background and varied experience in<br />
the airline industry, with several pilots in her<br />
family and an employment record that<br />
includes flight attendant, supervisor, and<br />
director of in-flight services for a Canadian<br />
airline. Her move to the Seattle area in 2003<br />
was for family, but she ended up changing<br />
course and in 2004 started her real estate<br />
business at a friend’s suggestion. Although<br />
she had not considered a career in real estate,<br />
she soon developed a passion to help people<br />
land in their dream home or upgrade to the<br />
next level. It was only one year from the time<br />

“We’re not afraid to do what’s right, regardless of monetary<br />
impact. Money is not the goal, but if we work hard<br />
and do the right things, the money will follow.”<br />
<strong>Christi</strong> received her real estate license to the<br />
opening of her RE/MAX franchise in Duvall.<br />
Her colleagues and competitors in the<br />
business were incredulous that a newcomer to<br />
the real estate profession would jump in so<br />
high. Three years after that, <strong>Christi</strong> dropped<br />
the corporate ties and changed the shingle to<br />
read, “The <strong>Irwin</strong> Group”, continuing to build<br />
her team and great reputation. <strong>Christi</strong> says<br />
simply, “I love a challenge.”<br />
The <strong>Irwin</strong> Group works the territory in and<br />
around Duvall and up to 2 hours away, from<br />
Bellingham to Tacoma. With seven agents<br />
and two support staff, that’s a lot of ground<br />
to cover. <strong>Christi</strong> says that she and her team<br />
“have the dedication, integrity, and tenacity”<br />
to get the job done. She further explains,<br />
“We’re not afraid to do what’s right,<br />
regardless of monetary impact. Money is not<br />
the goal, but if we work hard and do the right<br />
things, the money will follow.”<br />
<strong>Christi</strong> designed The <strong>Irwin</strong> Group as a boutique<br />
office, with well-appointed furnishings and<br />
classic style. It fits well into the small<br />
