In this episode of Deeds of Trust, Steve sits down with 2025 RALSC Good Neighbor Award winner Kristie Baumgartner for a conversation that goes far beyond real estate.

Kristie shares the inspiration behind her Paws & Claws Adopt-a-thon and how her passion for helping animals has grown into meaningful community impact. From organizing adoption efforts to connecting with local families, her work is a reminder that REALTORS® play an important role not just in housing, but in strengthening the communities they serve.

The episode also offers a glimpse into Kristie’s life behind the scenes—balancing a busy real estate career with being a mom, all while staying committed to causes close to her heart.

It’s a genuine and inspiring conversation about service, connection, and what it truly means to be a Good Neighbor.
