  • "She was really looking out for our interests."

    “We first met Kristen when she was a seller’s agent at a property we looked at. Even though she was a seller’s agent, we felt an immediate connection with her. We asked her to be our buyer’s agent and she agreed. She was one of the best things we encountered during the purchase of our property. Kristen had such extensive knowledge in that she looked at things in the house that never would have occurred to us. She was really looking out for our interests. At my request she recommended a house inspector that she had previously worked with. The day of the house inspection, she was there the entire time, commenting and asking questions on our behalf. She was also there for the final walk-through of the house, noting certain things we needed to know. This was our first property we ever purchased and having Kristen there beside us made us much more secure in the purchase. Her professionalism, knowledge and experience helped make the property purchase go much more smoothly. We both recommend her in the highest regard.”

    - JOEY & FRANCISCO HERNANDEZ

  • “Working with Kristen has been an absolute dream."

    “Working with Kristen has been an absolute dream. I had a bit of a unique situation selling a home but Kristen was there every step of the way. No question was left un answered and she really went above and beyond throughout the process. Kristen provided different routes we could try and then guided me down the path that was the easiest for me and was able to get the house under contract within a week of putting on the market. Everyone that she recommended was also great and would work with them all again in the future. I plan on using Kristen for any future real estate endeavors and 100% recommend her to all my friends/family and anyone looking to buy/sell a home!”

  • "If we ever need a realtor again, Kristen would be my go to."

    “It’s been over 30 years since we needed the services of a realtor. Allot has changed since then concerning real estate and the market. So a really good realtor is a must to navigate the market. My wife and I met Kristen at an open house and she listened. She knew our needs and what we were looking for and respected our needs and what we were looking for. Kristen has a wealth of knowledge about her profession and wisdom to match that knowledge. Kristen’s guidance and advice was spot on and my wife and I developed complete trust in her abilities to advocate and negotiate for us. As a professional myself, witnessing Kristen’s work ethic, her energy, her willingness to go that extra and her integrity, this is what it is to be a professional. If we ever need a realtor again, Kristen would be my go to. I would trust my family and friends to her. You can tell when someone loves what they do. My wife and I are very grateful to have had Kristen in our lives. Five stars, the universe doesn’t have enough stars.”

  • "I cannot say enough about what an excellent experience we had selling a home with Kristen"

    “I cannot say enough about what an excellent experience we had selling a home with Kristen Dodge. Kristen recommended trustworthy and skilled local contractors to support us as we prepared to sell, helped us prioritize projects, and provided staging guidance. Her deep knowledge of the real estate market and of the selling process smoothed the way for us.”

    - JANE BOMENGEN

  • "I whole- heartedly recommend Kristen Dodge as your realtor."

    “As a first time home buyer in a sellers' market, I whole- heartedly recommend Kristen Dodge as your realtor. I previewed 50+ homes throughout months of working with Kristen, and she always had a way of making me feel like her main focus - knowing full well how busy she was making all her clients feel the same. Kristen helped me navigate a very competitive market and her knowledge, expertise, and willingness to go above and beyond was crucial in this process. Kristen learns exactly what you're looking for in a home and when you find it, she puts her strong negotiating skills to use. This was not an easy journey and there were times I was honestly ready to give up, but Kristen's optimism about finding the right home kept me going and paid off. I am so thankful and excited to be spending the holidays in my new home. Always professional, thoughtful, and kind. I can't give enough stars. Thank you Kristen!!”
