Kristie McDonald is perhaps one of the savviest businesswomen we've ever featured on I Want Her Job. As a top Realtor for the Portland area, she built her business working primarily with buyers and then grew into construction last year, which she says has become her forte. Although she's been in the business only four years and started unaware of what comprised a 'good market,' she learned by hitting the ground running. She is involved in resale, foreclosures and listings, but 80 percent of her business is now related to new homes as she works with the No. 1 builder in the east county of Portland.

When she's not making a sale, fixing a 'housing crisis' or conversing with clients over wine, you can find her dancing. She loves belly dancing, in particular, especially when it's set to a techno beat. She loves anything that stirs passion within her and is always game for new experiences. She sounds like someone we can all look up to!
