Testimonials
“Kristi assisted us in the sale of our last home and the purchase of our condominium on Bainbridge Island. If I were to describe her, I would say that Kristi is everything best in a real estate agent. She is honest, resourceful, helpful, professional, intelligent, and complete in all her document preparation and presentation. Our condo was a little difficult for us because as much as my wife was enchanted by it, there was a prior offer. Kristi helped us with a better, higher offer that also included allowing the sellers to stay here until they found a place they wanted. Her advice was outstanding.”
“We loved working with Kristi! She is a talented and experienced real estate agent and is very familiar with Bainbridge Island as a community and as a real estate market. We were in somewhat of a fast-paced situation when we finally found the right house and Kristi handled the transaction with ease and a low-stress attitude. Her local connections with other agents and professionals were extremely helpful as we were figuring out the feasibility of our project. Additionally, it was through her stellar communication that our offer was accepted over other competing offers. We continue to rely on Kristi for other projects and recommendations within the community. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“We recently purchased our first home with Kristi’s help. Kristi was wonderful and we loved working with her. We highly recommend her. She was very knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to talk to. She did a great job negotiating on our behalf. Before we worked with her, we were looking all over the country for a house and met with a lot of different realtors, and she was by far our favorite!”
