I thank my lucky stars I met Kris on the first listing that I checked out while considering whether I should buy. She was not only very supportive but she is also extremely knowledgeable which made a huge difference in assessing the pros and cons of a property. She also had an entire portfolio ready to present to a client which provided extensive information about the home buying process. I've bought a house before but I don't remember my realtor being this thorough. Additionally and very crucial, she was a strong advocate for me and always made sure that I was informed and my questions answered. She was also very cognizant of how busy my schedule is and made sure that the rest of the people involved in the process, from mortgage processor to escrow officer understood my complicated schedule. I would highly recommend Kris to anyone. - April

Our family would not have made it through the last 8 months without Kris’s tireless work and unwavering patience. She worked side by side with my parents going item by item to help them move from their home of 58 years to a condo half the size. She wrapped and boxed keepsakes, scheduled and oversaw the Estate sale, and found and oversaw the packers and movers. She drew designs for closets for the new condo, measured every square inch to make sure the furniture had a place, and oversaw the contractor who remodeled the condo. She assisted us in preparing the house to rent, connecting us with painters and contractors and found us great tenants, facilitating their lease signing and move-in details. She even found us a much needed CPA and referred us to an Insurance broker to help us transition after our Insurance was not renewed. I could go on and on, but all goes to say that I would recommend Kris wholeheartedly and will always be grateful for her seamless professionalism and personal care and assistance for all of us in a major life transition. - Renee

I met Kris at an open house and I knew I wanted to work with her after we hit it off and also after seeing how prepared she was for that open house with a little packet put together with the prices of homes in the area + a guide to first time home buyers. House hunting with Kris was always so fun and easy and we never felt pressured to make an offer, increase our bid or to hastily make a decision. She was so so patient with us and we could tell that she really cared about us making the right decision for us, and wanted us to be happy in our new home. She was super knowledgeable about renovations/upgrades and I always felt like I had a confidant by my side when looking at homes with her. Would recommend her 12/10!!!!!!!! - Reiko
Kris helped us buy our first home in San Francisco and we are so grateful to have found her! She was always available to answer all our questions, looked out for our best interests, stuck with us through months of touring homes and gave us great advice, from layout consideration, comps, potential renovation projects, etc. She is also very knowledgeable about San Francisco and is well connected among the community of realtors here. Kris is an agent we could trust to look out for us when buying our home (you can’t say that about all agents), and would highly recommend her to anyone! - Brittney

My partner and I had such an amazing experience using Kris to help us find a home in the Inner Richmond. She is very professional, quick to respond, and was able to coordinate showings very quickly. Very knowledgeable about SF real estate and supported us during our first home buying experience with lots of patience and an understanding of how overwhelming the process can be. Would definitely recommend her. - Anna

Kris was wonderful to work with to sell our condo in Hayes Valley for top-dollar. She knows the local market incredibly well, and had top-notch recommendations for professionals to fix up a few things before putting it on the market. Kris coordinated everything - from fixing up some scratches on the floors, to painting, to staging it in exactly the right style to appeal to the types of buyers who would be most interested in it. In the end, it sold for more than we had hoped. We'd definitely work with Kris again. - Chris

Kris is a total pro. She handled absolutely everything regarding our rental from beginning to end with unbelievable professionalism and a great can-do attitude. I would highly recommend her for rentals or purchases. She stands out above the crowd. - Joanna

Where should I start. I've met a lot of agents during my real estate process and Kris is the best! She is not just an agent, she became my friend during the process. Many times, she drives me around to see properties, explain to me the pros and cons. There was a time, I wanted to buy a place and she would stop me and tell me she thinks there could be houses even better, which agent does that? Only an honest and caring agent would! She also went out her way to help me with my loan. She is always there to pick up my call even late at night or when she is with her kids. She is not just professional, she is thoughtful and kind and a great person! I would recommend her to anyone! You will be surprised how amazing she is!!! - Jiazi

Kris is a gem. When my husband and I sought to buy our first home we were overwhelmed by the process and the craziness of the Bay Area real estate market. Unlike other agents we encountered, Kris made it a priority to listen to our needs, answer all our (many) questions, and really act as an advocate for us. When we got a little overexcited and wanted to overbid, she encouraged us to take a step back. When we came across a house that was meeting some of our needs, but not the ones that we shared were priority for our growing family, she gently nudged us to consider if this was really the right home for us in the long term. She also has a fantastic eye for design and entertained my remodeling ideas, while suggesting great ideas of her own - some of which we are running with! She cares deeply about what she does, and about the people she partners with which is rare in this industry. - Inna

We were first-time homebuyers who knew nothing about the process until we met Kris. We met other agents, but two things made Kris stand out. First, she was genuine and a true advocate for what we wanted -- while others were trying to further their agendas like used cars salesmen or made us feel dumb when we asked beginner's questions, Kris wanted what we wanted (often telling us a house was overpriced) and always made us feel comfortable with the foreign process of home buying. Second, she goes above and beyond -- even now after we've closed, she has continued to push for resolution of outstanding issues with the sellers, and continues to advise us on remodeling and other home issues. Thanks to Kris's instinct, while others were overlooking it, we were able to get the house we love for UNDER listing price in the heart of SF! More generally, she is the perfect agent for a young couple or family getting their first home -- with her own experiencing raising kids and renovating houses in the bay area. She has our highest recommendation! - Jessica

Kris helps me to purchase a home in SF. This is my 3rd home purchasing, and Kris is still one of my top favorite agents. She's down to the details for checking all the disclosure and relevant documents, and she always puts herself in a buyer's shoe when it comes to recommend a place to buy. I also like how fact base she is by showing comp to guide my offering. What I highly appreciated is that she puts her whole heart in helping her clients, no matter you are looking for a luxury deal, or an entry level price point home. - Fei

I was very impressed by Kris' follow-up and research abilities. I was looking at a single family home and the place had some questionable issues. Right off the bat, I could see that Kris had a lot of knowledge about the potentials and upsides of houses. It's no surprise that she later revealed she has been an all around contractor at her personal residence and has valuable experience researching contractors and seeing the type of work that a home needed. She took the time to call me to discuss any items for as long as I wanted, reviewed the disclosures with me, offered good suggestions, warned me about the items the buyer should be concerned about, offered to look into the many questions and concerns I had, and is very professional and friendly. - John

Although I was using a brokerage company to show, screen and rent our family home in the Inner Richmond, we weren't getting any qualified applications. Kristine was able to find a local family of four and after meeting with them we really matched up. I would recommend Kristine for your real estate needs especially for finding quality tenants for your property. - Doug

Embarking on the journey of buying my first property in the United States and our first property with my partner we didn't anticipate the roller coaster especially during a hot market. Kris held us close and walked us through every tiny detail that was required offer after lost offer until our finally our fifth she helped get over the line in a cliffhanger negotiation. And from all the properties we saw and bid on this one was our DREAM home and investment! Kris's humanness, empathy, passion, heart and determination was of joy and comfort to us. She worked tirelessly around the clock reading 100's of pages of contracts, attending endless inspections, educating us on the process, connecting us with all the various experts and tradespeople for potential home improvements and situations. And there were many thoughtful and generous surprises along the way - she printed a picture we had sent her the day we inspected our home and fell in love with it and when we got the keys to enter "our home" for the first time there was frame with flowers, wine and treats in the kitchen. Even post-purchase of the property she continually checked in to see how everything was and helped us get some things fixed like light bulb replacements and a new fridge. Deeply grateful to Kris and heart filled with joy having her represent this very special part of our life journey. - Maria
