The award recognizes NJ REALTORS® members who have demonstrated excellence in the field of salesmanship.
“The Platinum NJ REALTORS® Circle of Excellence Award acknowledges hard work and dedication of a real estate agent. For our agents, it is also acknowledgement of the commitment to quality customer service that Christie’s agents, like Kristin, bring to each and every client interaction,” said Ilija Pavlovic, President and CEO of Christie’s International Real Estate Northern New Jersey. “Kristin has a large real estate footprint across Bergen County, especially in the Ridgewood area and surrounding towns. As a fourth generation real estate broker, she consistently distinguishes herself as a top producer in the region and has been regularly recognized for her performance for nearly 20 years.”
Gildea Fox’s enthusiasm, professionalism and strong commitment to her customers have been the key to her success, much of which includes repeat clients and both personal and professional referrals. She is very adept at the ins and outs of the local real estate market. Gildea Fox has been a consistent top producer during her real estate career, with over $200 million in properties sold in the last 10 years alone.
Gildea Fox recently spoke at Inman Connect New York 2020, a large real estate conference, on the topic “Real Estate Noise: Don’t Forget the Consumer.” She was one of four speakers in the session, speaking about the ways that the real estate consumer is changing and how Realtors® can better understand and adapt to their clients in order to provide the best real estate experience.
Other industry recognitions include Salesperson of the Year with her previous firm and when that firm joined with Christie’s in 2018, Gildea Fox was acknowledged as Top Producer with Sales in excess of $25 million. Recently, 201 Magazine recognized her in their 2019 Best of Bergen issue as one of the Top Real Estate Agents in Bergen County. Gildea Fox was also invited into the Masters Circle 2019 by Christie’s International Real Estate, an honor given to top performing agents within the firm internationally.

She is an active member at Ridgewood Country Club and at St. Gabriels Church.
“Coming from a family of successful real estate professionals, I was taught the value of honesty and integrity and their direct role in producing results,” said Gildea Fox. “This award recognizes the hard part of our business, the dedication and commitment that goes into each and every transaction. I work tirelessly to put my clients’ needs first, and my constant goal is to meet and exceed their expectations.”
