Women in Real Estate 2020: Colliers’ Kristin Blount is a Formidable Force For Women in the Industry

In her 32 years in the industry, Kristin Blount, Executive Vice President & Shareholder of Colliers International | Boston, has fostered an unparalleled reputation within her company and her community. She has completed more than $3.5 billion transactions throughout her career for prestigious clients such as Beth Israel Lahey Health, Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA, Mintz Levin and other organizations.

Blount consistently seeks opportunities to challenge herself – although she excelled in her position as a salesperson, she applied to MIT’s Center for Real Estate to establish her financial training, later landing a role on Colliers’ Urban Team. She took on speaking opportunities and contributed to articles not only to increase her visibility and credibility, but to improve her public speaking skills and writing as well. Her determination to go above and beyond ensures that her clients receive unparalleled service.

These are just a few of the reasons we chose Blount as one of the 2020 Women in Real Estate Award winners. Connect Media’s Women in Real Estate Awards honor the achievements and inspirational stories of women who have reached respected positions of leadership and play key mentorship roles for others.

Her energy and relentlessly positive spirit is boundless. Blount currently sits on the Executive Committee of The Alzheimer’s Associations Memory Walk, which she has participated in for over a decade. Additionally, during the onset of COVID she and a colleague started a Zoom call for women in the industry to discuss market information, business development, and social issues.
