"We just closed on our first home a few days ago, and Crystal was amazing in helping us navigate the entire process. She was genuinely interested in our well-being and helped us find the house that was actually the best for us. We had many questions that she answered quickly, and she even addressed the questions we should have asked but didn't. It's been a stressful time for us, but she was quite patient and supportive throughout the whole ordeal.
We appreciate how Crystal never rushed us and always gave honest feedback. She was able to break down the pros and cons of each place without pushing us one way or the other. During the offer-making process, she helped us smooth out the few hiccups that came up.
It has been an amazing experience becoming first-time homeowners. Many thanks to Crystal for making it all possible :) We strongly recommend her for her amazing help and detailed knowledge." -Austin W
