Welcome to

The Dodge Group

grounded in heart, driven by results.

 HEY THERE, i'M KRISTEN!

I’m a mom, a real estate expert, and your trusted partner in all things home.


I believe every home has a story worth telling.

You won’t find cookie-cutter listings here—because your home deserves more than a sign in the yard and a generic marketing plan. My approach starts by getting to know the heart of your home: what makes it special, who it’s meant for, and how to tell that story in a way that resonates with the right buyer.

With deep roots in Central Massachusetts and a background in creative marketing, I’ve built a reputation for customized strategies that deliver real results. As the #1 agent in Athol, I bring a mix of local expertise, thoughtful design, and out-of-the-box thinking—whether you’re selling, buying, or building something brand new.

At the Dodge Group, we blend tradition with innovation. That means warm, personalized service backed by sharp strategy, elevated marketing, and intentional storytelling.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me with a toddler on one hip and a latte in the other—because I know firsthand how important it is to find a home that fits your real life, not just the listing photos.

If you're looking for a real estate experience rooted in story, strategy, and a whole lot of heart—I’d love to connect.

  • “Working with Kristen has been an absolute dream."

    “Working with Kristen has been an absolute dream. I had a bit of a unique situation selling a home but Kristen was there every step of the way. No question was left un answered and she really went above and beyond throughout the process. Kristen provided different routes we could try and then guided me down the path that was the easiest for me and was able to get the house under contract within a week of putting on the market. Everyone that she recommended was also great and would work with them all again in the future. I plan on using Kristen for any future real estate endeavors and 100% recommend her to all my friends/family and anyone looking to buy/sell a home!”

  • "I cannot say enough about what an excellent experience we had selling a home with Kristen"

    “I cannot say enough about what an excellent experience we had selling a home with Kristen Dodge. Kristen recommended trustworthy and skilled local contractors to support us as we prepared to sell, helped us prioritize projects, and provided staging guidance. Her deep knowledge of the real estate market and of the selling process smoothed the way for us.”

  • "I whole- heartedly recommend Kristen Dodge as your realtor."

    “As a first time home buyer in a sellers' market, I whole- heartedly recommend Kristen Dodge as your realtor. I previewed 50+ homes throughout months of working with Kristen, and she always had a way of making me feel like her main focus - knowing full well how busy she was making all her clients feel the same. Kristen helped me navigate a very competitive market and her knowledge, expertise, and willingness to go above and beyond was crucial in this process. Kristen learns exactly what you're looking for in a home and when you find it, she puts her strong negotiating skills to use. This was not an easy journey and there were times I was honestly ready to give up, but Kristen's optimism about finding the right home kept me going and paid off. I am so thankful and excited to be spending the holidays in my new home. Always professional, thoughtful, and kind. I can't give enough stars. Thank you Kristen!!”

  • "If we ever need a realtor again, Kristen would be my go to."

    “It’s been over 30 years since we needed the services of a realtor. Allot has changed since then concerning real estate and the market. So a really good realtor is a must to navigate the market. My wife and I met Kristen at an open house and she listened. She knew our needs and what we were looking for and respected our needs and what we were looking for. Kristen has a wealth of knowledge about her profession and wisdom to match that knowledge. Kristen’s guidance and advice was spot on and my wife and I developed complete trust in her abilities to advocate and negotiate for us. As a professional myself, witnessing Kristen’s work ethic, her energy, her willingness to go that extra and her integrity, this is what it is to be a professional. If we ever need a realtor again, Kristen would be my go to. I would trust my family and friends to her. You can tell when someone loves what they do. My wife and I are very grateful to have had Kristen in our lives. Five stars, the universe doesn’t have enough stars.”

  • "From start to finish, Kristen was exceptional."

    “I recently had the pleasure of working with Kristen Dodge to sell my home, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, Kristen was exceptional. Kristen's access to a network of reliable vendors made the work on the home straightforward and stress-free. She delivered on her promise to make the selling process as smooth as possible while maximizing the home's sale value. Kristen exceeded all my expectations. There isn’t a single thing she could have done better. Her excellence in negotiating ensured I achieved 100% of my goals. If you are looking for a Realtor who is knowledgeable, efficient, and truly dedicated to your success, I highly recommend Kristen Dodge.”

  • “I deal with many realtors and Kristen is one I really enjoy working with."

    “I deal with many realtors and Kristen is one I really enjoy working with. She works hard for her clients and will go above and beyond to meet their needs and provide them the best service possible. She's very kind and trustworthy, which makes her very approachable. One of her great qualities, is her ability to think outside of the box which can be vital when working to get your offer accepted or listing a property. She's a true advocate for her clients, which is so important when helping someone navigate thru a real estate transaction. I hope that everyone can experience working with her!”

  • "She was really looking out for our interests."

    “We first met Kristen when she was a seller’s agent at a property we looked at. Even though she was a seller’s agent, we felt an immediate connection with her. We asked her to be our buyer’s agent and she agreed. She was one of the best things we encountered during the purchase of our property. Kristen had such extensive knowledge in that she looked at things in the house that never would have occurred to us. She was really looking out for our interests. At my request she recommended a house inspector that she had previously worked with. The day of the house inspection, she was there the entire time, commenting and asking questions on our behalf. She was also there for the final walk-through of the house, noting certain things we needed to know. This was our first property we ever purchased and having Kristen there beside us made us much more secure in the purchase. Her professionalism, knowledge and experience helped make the property purchase go much more smoothly. We both recommend her in the highest regard.”

  • "Kristen was fantastic to work with"

    "Kristen was fantastic to work with. She helped coordinate the sale of my parent’s property. Her assessment of the selling price was much higher than I expected and was spot on. In addition she came up with a creative idea to subdivide the property and sell an additional housing lot, yielding even more than we had hoped for.This was my eighth real estate transaction, so I have dealt with a number of realtors. Kristen was the best of all of them. She was fully engaged and I feel, unlike some other realtors I’ve dealt with, that she truly had our best Interests in mind.”
