Kristen Jock
Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker
After 15 years navigating the fast-paced world of NYC real estate—where she specialized in multifamily sales and advised everyone from first-time buyers to seasoned developers—Kristen made the move to the Hudson Valley in search of a lifestyle that better matched her love for climbing, trail running, and all things outdoorsy. She found that, and much more.
Now a proud member of the Upstate Curious Team at Compass, Kristen brings her seasoned negotiation skills, deep industry knowledge, and calm, intuitive presence to help buyers and sellers across the Catskills and Hudson Valley. Her background in psychology and reputation for honesty, persistence, and empathy make her the kind of agent clients trust to guide them through what can often be a big life transition—whether it's a second home purchase, a relocation, or an investment in a multifamily property.
Kristen’s ability to spot both the potential and the pitfalls in a property comes from personal experience: she’s been a homeowner, a developer, and an investor herself. And because she knows firsthand how overwhelming (and exciting!) the process can be, she’s all about being real with her clients—no pressure, just good information and smart strategy.
When she's not out touring properties, you’ll likely find her scaling a local rock wall, running a backcountry trail, or discovering hidden swimming holes—and sharing all of it with the Upstate Curious community.
