Kaitlyn Espada, GRI

Darren and Kaitlyn Espada and daughter

Kaitlyn epitomizes integrity, high energy, hard work, and creative solutions in every detail of your real estate experience. Kaitlyn has successfully sold real estate on the Kenai Peninsula, in Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley, where she currently resides, with many satisfied clients. She has personally bought and sold several of her own investment properties and has extensive knowledge in rehabbing properties and purchasing foreclosures, short sales, multi-family properties, and real estate investments.

Kaitlyn grew up in Northern Virginia, located minutes outside of Washington, D.C., a place where negotiations are a way of life. When, Kaitlyn Espada, moved to Whittier, AK, for a summer position, she had no idea the life change she was about to undergo. She fell in love with the land and the old fashion clichéd “Alaskan mountain man.” When the season was over, she had no desire to return to the crowded hustle and bustle of city life and moved with her husband, Darren, to Wasilla, AK.

Coming from a family with a background in real estate on the East Coast, she knew of no other better way to branch out in Alaska and forge new friendships, business relationships and explore the wild, exciting, and beautiful “Last Frontier” than through real estate. Clients choose to work with Kaitlyn to receive her full-service approach, ethics, experience, and expertise. Her extensive knowledge of the Mat-Su real estate market is unparalleled. Kaitlyn prides herself in being transparent with clients and providing them the most precise and up-to-date feedback on the current market conditions, trends, comparable sales, and values.
