As the host of the hit TLC series Property Ladder, she draws on her experience as a successful Santa Barbara realtor, real estate developer and designer with her own enormously successful design company. With years of experience in flipping properties, Kirsten's on-air persona provides professional insight on the flipping process and valuable guidance for at-home viewers looking to tackle their own fix and flip projects. Her loyal fans finally got what they've been demanding when Kirsten released her much anticipated tell-all book, Flipping Confidential: The Secrets of Fixing Property for Profit in any Market (JohnWiley & Sons, 2007). Since then she has continued to be featured on THE VIEW, CNN, Fox News and various other programs as a national real estate expert.

Active in the real estate market of Santa Barbara since 1999, she enjoys guiding her clients to good value and marketing their listings with sophistication and worldwide exposure. She keeps her finger on the pulse of all things real estate by developing properties with Becker Construction, one of Santa Barbara's top high-end builders as they create value with high impact low cost improvements adding style, originality and their signature touch to every project. Together, Darrell and Kirsten serve as guides to help their clients with all phases of design for ground-up construction and complete remodels with a conscientious philosophy for green products, less waste and an efficiency of sources. In 2010 they established Becker Studios – a boutique one-stop-shop to dream, design, build and live in your ultimate home!
