I contacted Krista when I began looking for my new home. She was outstanding. She kept me informed every step of the way. She was able to answer my questions. She confirmed our meeting time and place before a showing. A problem came up in my home inspection, and she immediately contacted the selling agent and had the issue resolved. She also helped clean leaking water so there wouldn’t be damage to “my new” floors. Krista made the experience feel easy for me. If I’m ever looking for a new home, I won’t hesitate to give her a call. I truly had a great experience.
