Testimonials
There are many things I can say about the high quality of service I provide to my home seller and home buyer clients, but probably none would be as credible as testimonials from some of my recent clients themselves.
So please take a moment to read the following testimonials. I hope they indicate my experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much I enjoy helping people with their real estate needs.
I would be happy to email you additional testimonials if you are interested.

Kiersty and her team are the cream of the real estate crop. After making little to no progress with another local real estate team for more than four months, we decided it was time to entrust the sale of our home with someone else. Following a recommendation from friends, we began working with Kiersty and immediately noticed a difference. Our home showed well and received positive feedback. Despite the difficult economy and slow home market, Kiersty managed to drive a consistent flow of traffic through our home, thanks to her many clever marketing tools and tactics. And when the offer finally came in, Kiersty worked even harder than before to secure the sale. She doesn't take no for an answer and stays focused as her clients' biggest advocate. Kiersty successfully helped us sell our home, seeing us all the way through to the closing with class and professionalism. We definitely plan to refer her to friends and family in the future.

Kiersty is an exceptional Realtor. This is the first property we have sold in our lives and Kiersty made the experience far better than we had imagined possible. Kiersty' s knowledge of the area and her candor were greatly appreciated. That our home was listed and sold in under 3 weeks in a difficult housing market speaks volumes of her superior talents.
Also, something that we admire and respect most is her sincerity. That created a trust factor critical to the process. You are a rare gem, Kiersty!

My wife and I had no idea what we were getting into when we decided that we wanted to look at the option of buying our first home. As a matter of fact, we didnt know the first steps! Kiersty was very patient with us and all of our obviously rookie questions. One of the first things that Kiersty had said was, I always have a plan B. This was so true, things came up during the process that were out of our control, and here comes Kiersty to the rescue with the answers and knowledge of how to fix the situation and get us back on track. I know that if we hadnt had her in our corner the entire process would not have gone as smoothly as it did, and there is a good chance that we would not have been able to purchase our first home within the time frame that we had to work with. I highly commend her on all of her efforts and ability to make things happen in a timely fashion and to ease our anxiety.

Kiersty,
It is with both joy and sadness that we must say goodbye to this little venture that we shared. I just wanted to express to you again our gratitude for all of your hard work. You did what you said you were going to do and when it is all said and done, that is what really matters.
Thank you for your undying professionalism, your guidance and most of all, being our advocate. Throughout the entire process, be assured that we felt that we were in good hands. You are top dog in our book and we will definitely recommend your team to anyone in need of a great Realtor.
God Bless,

Dear Kiersty:
We want to start by thanking you for helping us to find our new Texas home. It was truly a pleasure to work with someone so helpful. Your knowledge of the Austin and the surrounding area was impressive. Our move from Washington was stressful at times to say the least and you were always so thoughtful and supportive. We could not have hoped for a better realtor.
You made the experience easy with your professionalism and knowledge of your profession. We really appreciated your diligence with daily updates to keep use informed on the buying process. You coordinated and managed everyone involved with such confidence and grace. You are an ace at sorting issues and finding a resolution to even the finest details. Your eagerness to handle even the tough issues was such a stress relief for us.
We know we were difficult to work with in the beginning because of the long distance communications but you found common ground and worked to satisfy our housing wants and needs. We both want to thank you for all your hard work and dedication. We would recommend you to anyone who wants a professional realtor to represent him or her. You are awesome.
Sincerely,
Dallas & Kathy Burnett

Kiersty,
Thank you so much for all of your hard work in helping us find our home!! After many months of working with someone else, working with you was like a breath of fresh air. Your dedication, professionalism, and outside the box thinking are just a few of the things that make you so awesome at what you do. We absolutely love our house and mean it when we say that we would not have this house without you. The odds were not in your favor seeing as how we were the lower bid and we need to close within 6 days, but somehow you still made it happen!
We really appreciate all you have done for us!!

Kiersty -
We have been involved in seven real estate transactions and have experience dealing with numerous mortgage, relocation, and real estate agents. You were the first time that I really felt like I had a partner in the deal to look after my interests. Thank you very much.
Are you sure you don't want to consider returning to Corporate America and work for us out of Austin?

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your efforts in the sell of Michael’s home.
I had quite a laundry list of expectations and you met them all! I could not have asked for anything more than you gave us. Your constant communication with us was much appreciated. We never had to guess what was going on with the viewings and the feedback from those looking helped us understand what needed to be done to sell the home.
On top of doing an outstanding job of marketing the home your compassion for our loss was obvious and Michael’s mom has expressed her appreciation and satisfaction on the way you handled this sale.
I will miss working with you and hope you will stay in touch. If I ever run into anyone who is looking to sell a home please be assured your name will be highly recommended.

Kiersty is a consummate professional. From the initial beginnings of exploring the sale of our home of nine years, to hemming up every last detail with the closing of our new home, Kiersty was right there with us. Her service to us was fast, responsive, and 100% helpful regardless of the request -- from details as complex as gating home loan options to as simple as identifying vendors for flooring -- Kiersty consistently provided the information and resources we needed to move forward.
Along with her unparalleled professionalism and expertise, Kiersty is an intuitive, kind person who worked hard to understand our needs and worries associated with the whole process, and always communicated with us in a straightforward, honest way that instilled
great confidence. She turned one of the most stressful financial decisions our family had ever made into a seamless transaction.
I would recommend Kiersty wholeheartedly to anyone interested in buying or selling a home.

Kiersty,
I wanted to take a minute to thank you so very much for all of the hard work and effort you provided to David and I in the marketing and sale of our home at 206 E. Esparada. I have to say that you are truly an expert in your field and everything that you said would happen did.
David and I knew that you would be our agent the moment that we interviewed you. Your knowledge of the real estate field and your professionalism were evident from the moment we met you. One of the things that impressed us the most was your knowledge of the Serenada area. You knew exactly how to market our home. As we always have said, those who love Serenada - love Serenada. Your awesome personality was just icing on the cake.
Knowing that our house had been on the market for a lengthy period of time the prior year, you were very forthcoming and upfront about what we needed to do if we wanted to sell our house quickly. You were very easy to work with as we implemented many of your suggestions regarding upgrades, improvements, staging that we needed to do in order to get our house back on the market. What really impressed both David and I was your willingness to help us stage our home. While most agents would have only given us advice about what we needed to do, you actually put your personal time and effort into helping us stage our home, all the way down to putting your own "sweat" into moving furniture with me, making flower arrangements, and buying a Metal Texas Star and Ferns to decorate the front of our home. You are truly a gem and you have a very unique talent of knowing what will work and what doesn't. David and I both truly appreciated your honesty and integrity in marketing and selling our home.
Low and behold - we had a contract on our house within a couple of weeks of it being listed. You knew that would happen - we were skeptical given the length of time it had been on the market when we listed it the first time. I truly believe that your advice to us made the difference. THANK YOU.
I must also mention that what should have been a very easy sale ended up having some surprise bumps and twists that affected both us as the sellers, as well as the buyers. I truly appreciate the amount of time that you put into working with the lender, the underwriter, Title Company, sellers, and all other parties that you had to work with in order to get our home sale completed. I do believe that had we have gone with a less experienced realtor, or one that didn't care as much as you did, the sale of our home may have collapsed with the potential for possible legal ramifications. Only because of your efforts and the efforts of a highly reputable title company do I feel like we were able to get everything done as quickly as we did (even with the few delays we had). I do believe that if you had not been our advocate and worked so hard for us, it may have taken us longer to sell our home.
I would highly recommend you to represent anyone who is looking to sell their home, or even if they were looking to buy a home as well. It isn't often that you have someone represent you who you feel is truly working for you. No matter how many other clients you had while you were working with us, I always felt like I was your only client because you were always there for us, both in the forefront and in the background. THANK YOU. We truly appreciate all you have done for us.
Please feel free to share this with other clients you have in the future. David and I would be more than happy to provide a reference for you anytime you need one.
While the sale of our home was important, I gained something more important by having the opportunity to know you and work with you....I gained a friend.
David and I are now settled in our new home, and hopefully we will be put for quite some time, but if ever in the future.......I know where to come to.
Best of luck in all of your future endeavors, and again, thanks for all you did for us.
Shirley and David Rinn
No buyer's remorse here! We're so happy in our new home -- and Kiersty was so patient. We would gladly refer her!
Matt and Melissa Wilson
You have a wonderful way of stating things clearly. I am very pleased at how you represented all our conversations. Thank you for your time and effort -- I wish you could come be our Realtor in California.
