About Jeremy Kritt

My Background

Real estate is in the family, though I resisted it for a long time. My parents were in the business in California when I was growing up, and back then I wanted nothing to do with it. Now here I am.

Before real estate I spent more than a decade teaching English at universities abroad. Five years in East Asia, in South Korea and China, and seven in the Middle East, in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. I am fluent in English and Spanish and still know my way around phrases in Korean and Arabic. I still feel connected to those places, and they are a big part of how I see the world.

When I came back to the U.S. I could have landed anywhere. My younger brother, an Army officer stationed at Fort Hood at the time, told me to take a look at Austin. He was right. I settled in Central Texas in 2017, earned my Texas real estate license that May, and was named Rookie of the Year at my first brokerage.

Why I Do This Work

Before founding Kritt Real Estate as a broker, I witnessed firsthand the stress and confusion families face when handling estate responsibilities. Time and again, I saw heirs lose money, peace, and the clarity they desperately needed, simply due to a lack of guidance.

I watched executors get taken advantage of by investors and wholesalers who presented themselves as the only option. I saw families accept deeply discounted off-market offers because no one explained their true choices. These experiences fueled my passion for providing the kind of support that makes a real difference.

How I Work

Unlike traditional real estate agents focused on volume, I step into the role of a fiduciary-minded strategist. I develop a tailored strategy based on each estate’s unique needs, ensuring that every aspect of the sale is handled with care, compliance, and expertise.

I take personal responsibility for every transaction. I do not delegate my clients to junior agents or assistants. From first consultation to final closing, I oversee the details myself. My mission is simple: to lift the burden of selling a property during difficult times while maximizing the value of the estate.

Credentials

I am a licensed Texas real estate broker, not only an agent. A broker’s license in Texas takes years of active experience, hundreds of additional education hours, and a separate, tougher exam, and it carries full legal responsibility for the brokerage and its clients. In Texas, only a little over 10% of license holders have earned it. For an executor or an attorney, this level of licensure is exactly the point.

I am also a Certified Probate Expert, and I am fluent in English and Spanish, which often matters when an estate touches family members who are more comfortable in one or the other.
