Meet The Exceptional: Kristen Bryant

When Covid-19 shut down businesses in 2020, Kristen Bryant was the Operational Manager for Target Media which produced weekly classified papers and a monthly real estate magazine throughout Eastern Washington, including the Wenatchee/ Moses Lake areas. Kristen lives in Wenatchee, and her love of the publishing business became apparent when she reached out to us hoping to combine her skills and knowledge and keep a printed paper on stands.

The relationship was forged & we have had our Central Washington: Moses Lake/ Wenatchee area paper on stands for 4+ years. 26 years of publishing, managing employees, building relationships, driving sales and working long hours provided a great foundation for Kristen’s transition to a full time Real Estate Broker with Coldwell Banker in Wenatchee. Listening, negotiating, passion and sincerity is what you will experience as a client of Kristen’s. With so many choices of Brokers to choose from, it’s important to connect with the one that will rise above and treat you with 5 star service from beginning to end. We are proud of Kristen’s success in the real estate industry and appreciate all she does for the Exchange. Call Kristen for all of your real estate or publishing needs 509-670-8159.
