Client Testimonials
“Kris is extremely knowledgeable about the sales and negotiation process and helped provide transparency to the process. She was available 24-7, extremely responsive and I appreciated the multiple forms of communication and rapid turnaround times on questions and documents to keep the sales process moving. She is also very charismatic which is extremely important and often overlooked as a requirement for dealing with high dollar high stress transactions – she was able to keep the process pleasant in spite of challenges around permits, appraisals, funding, and such that we ran into on my particular transaction. I HIGHLY recommend her to represent either a buyer or a seller.”~ M Christopher
“Kris was awesome. She made herself available throughout the process as well as after the sale. Her familiarity with the many different pockets in the South Bay was essential to getting the right property. She cares about you as more than a client. Make a good decision on one of the most important purchases of your life – call her!”~ PS

“I can’t refer Kris highly enough. She is very bright, savvy and responsive. She is a great listener. She is not afraid to do what she needs to protect her clients and get the deal done. She took very good care of me when I was an absentee seller and couldn’t have done my deal without her. She is a real gem!”~ R Winograd
“Kris is amazing – not only did she help sell our home materially over-asking, but equally importantly, she was incredibly influential in getting our home on the market fast and at a great price. Our tenants moved out on a Sunday, Kris had painters in on Monday, cleaners on Tuesday, stager on Wednesday, had a brokers open Thursday, 2 open houses over the weekend, and competing offers on Monday. We closed fast as well. I can’t think of a scenario where the selling of our home could have been easier and at a better price.”~ D Bonner
“Kris is the best! We have been looking for a new home in the South Bay for about 9 months off and on, and within a couple days of meeting Kris, we found our perfect place. She has been very communicative with us and was a really patient listener during our initial call as we shared what we hoped to find. Kris has a great grasp on the benefits and charm of the various cities and neighborhoods, and was incredibly helpful in zeroing in on where we wanted to be. She is warm, generous and a total straight-shooter. We never hesitated in offering feedback about places that didn’t match what we were looking for and she was completely receptive and just got it. Even after we found our home, Kris followed up to make sure we were all set and even offered referrals for movers. I recommend her to anyone!”~ Christina H
