At every step of our new home purchase, we felt and knew that we were the most important people in her professional life. Customer Service: Karista’s no-pressure approach when my wife and I were selecting a house was comforting because she knew and made us feel that we would find the perfect house and that is exactly what transpired. Keen Eye: During our conversations and house viewings with Karista, she honed in on exactly the qualities that we were looking for in a home. Without a doubt, Karista understands the real estate market and more importantly, she understands our needs at every moment of the home acquisition process. Strong Representation: What impressed us the most is her ability to be extremely knowledgeable of the entire process i.e., our relationship, the local market, timely submittal of documentation and contract execution process, and excellent relationship with other realtors and loan officers; Knowledge is Power, and she went to battle for us during some difficult seller and buyer negotiations. Knowing that Karista was handling our business, with a strong hand when required meant that I didn’t have to fight that battle! Superstar Results: My wife and I were blessed, fortunate, and grateful to have Karista as our Superstar Real Estate Agent during the purchase of our new home.
