About Kristi Hardin

Kristi Hardin proudly serves buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Elizabethtown, Hardin County, and the surrounding communities. Originally from Greenville, South Carolina, Kristi’s upbringing was anything but ordinary. She spent much of her childhood in Togo, West Africa, where her parents served as missionaries. Growing up overseas shaped her perspective on community, resilience, and the importance of home. It also gave her a deep appreciation for connection, adaptability, and serving others well.

Kristi moved to Hardin County over 20 years ago after marrying her husband, Tony, and together they are raising their three boys, Carson, Conner, and Chandler. When she is not working with clients, you will likely find her at a soccer field, football field, or basketball court cheering them on. Hardin County is not just where she works. It is the place her family calls home.

Her journey into real estate began through hands-on experience investing in properties and building new construction homes alongside her husband. Through renovating older properties and developing new construction, Kristi developed a trained eye for value, potential, and opportunity. She understands how to look beyond what a home is and envision what it can become, a skill that benefits buyers, sellers, and investors alike.

Kristi brings calm guidance, strong communication, and steady professionalism to every transaction. She knows that buying or selling a home in Elizabethtown or Hardin County can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time buyers or families navigating major life changes. Her goal is to walk alongside her clients with clarity, compassion, and integrity, ensuring they feel confident and supported from contract to closing.

Her faith is central to who she is. When she prayed about where to align her real estate career, she knew she wanted to join a brokerage that valued integrity, mutual respect, and genuine support. Olive + Oak Realty was a natural fit. She treasures the camaraderie, mentorship, and shared commitment to serving clients well.

For Kristi, real estate is about more than transactions. It is about building lasting relationships and helping families plant roots in a place they love. She is honored to guide her clients through one of the most important decisions of their lives and is committed to serving them with excellence every step of the way.

“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”
