Cerissa goes above and beyond for her clients! I have known her for 15 years and every transaction has been easy because of Cerissas time and attention, as well as her vast knowledge of Dallas real estate. I cannot recommend her more!

We closed today, and we can't thank Cerissa, Samantha, and their team enough! They provided us superior assistance and guidance in updating the property to show well and sell quickly in this overwhelming market. We highly recommend them as exceptional professionals.

Cerissa has been fantastic. In this crazy market she's worked with us tirelessly to not only find the perfect house but make sure we put together a great offer and secured it. I highly recommend her and the rest of the Ben Kinney team to anybody buying or selling a property.

The best experience I could ever imagine. I am asked constantly how I was able to buy a house in DFW during this insane market craze, and my only response is my real estate agent, Cerissa Jornod and her team. We did not have to put in countless offers, I did finance, and there were no tears during the process! Cerissa knew exactly what was necessary to get the house we wanted, and how that offer needed to be presented. Every step of the way she was already prepared for what was next and was constantly two steps ahead. Her knowledge of the market was amazing. She turned what could have been a stressful and undesirable experience, into the fun and exciting time house buying is supposed to be! With a market that moves as fast and nuts as this one is, you have to have a person who KNOWS exactly what they are doing and how to do it better than the others, and I can promise you, that is Cerissa Jornod.

Absolutely the best! Cerissa and her team were patient with us while we looked for a new home, and she negotiated great prices for us both on the sale of our house as well as the purchase of our new home. Any questions or problems we had she responded to very quickly and we always felt we had a friend throughout the entire process. You cannot hire anyone better!
