“I sold my home at a difficult time while going through a divorce and Kristin and her team were attentive to all of our different needs. She then helped my navigate the purchase of my new place with all of the care anybody would expect during this highly stressful yet satisfying time.”

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

One big advantage of a small firm is the lack of conflict of interest. We rarely sell our own listings on purpose, to better serve you, the client. This way we can represent your interest only in each transaction.
