CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"We contacted Kristina through Zillow when we were just starting to browse for houses and get an idea of what we were looking for. She was helpful and patient as we worked to figure out what exactly it was we wanted. When we finally found the right house, she was there every step of the way answering any questions we had and giving us advice on things we hadn’t even thought of as first time homebuyers. She went to bat for us on more than one occasion and it’s all thanks to her that we’re now proud owners of the house of our dreams. We cannot recommend her enough and are so thankful for her help"

"Kristina did an amazing job assisting us in preparation for selling our home and when she listed and sold our home she was amazing So when we decided to purchase another home we did not hesitate in calling Kristina as our realtor. She went out of her way in helping us find the perfect home. Any question we had she answered quickly and if she did not know the answer she found it out for us I would highly recommend Kristina for the sale or purchase of a home Our son had Kristina as his realtor and he recommended her to us . So glad he did !!!."

"What not to say Kristina was awesome help in every way possible always kept phone lines open will always check up on you even when we where just thinking of buying a home took us a year and she never stop reaching out if you looking for a professional and someone that cares Kristina is your agent !!!

PRE-MARKET CHECKLIST

Declutter and Organize

Your house and rooms look larger with less items in them - a house that is overflowing gives the impression there is not enough stor- age space

Repair & Maintain

Make updates and repairs to improve appeal and value. Addressing small issues prevents buyers from feeling like they have a to-do list as soon as they move in

Consider Staging

This can be a great way to breathe new life into homes which may be in need of upgrades and im- provements

Focus on Curb Appeal

This is a buyer’s first impression of your home! Consider hiring a professional landscaper if your budget allows.

Daily Housekeeping

A daily housekeeping routine will ensure your home is kept in tip top shape and you are ready for showings.

Clean, clean clean! The house should look spotless! Consider a professional cleaner if your budget allows.
