ReviewCan't say enough about the expertise and amazing care that Kristen provides her clients. I highly recommend her for both selling and buying property. She helped motivate us and keep us on track throughout the process and her team was very communicative and helpful. She also has so many useful connections, advice, and knowledge of the market so you will be supported throughout the often stressful process.

ReviewI have worked with Kristen on three separate transactions over the last five years (two purchases and one sale) and she has offered exceptional service every time! I like to find reputable, high quality professionals in the area to have aEURoego-toaEUR? experts when needed. If I need any real estate services in the future I will certainly be using Kristens expertise again!

ReviewKristen was a huge help to my wife and me during our home selling process. She thoroughly explained the steps we would go through, provided excellent staging for the home, kept us informed, and was ready with a contingency for every problem we encountered. Kristen demonstrated a robust knowledge of the market and was extremely easy to contact whenever we needed her input.

ReviewKristen is the most knowledgeable and ethical Realtor I have ever seen. During the whole process, I dealt with more than 6 realtors and Kristen was by far the best one. Kristen is a subject matter expert in Real Estate and I would always trust whatever she says. In addition, she is quite patient and willing to help and educate people. When I first started to look around I had zero knowledge of Real Estate and she was the one who patiently taught me everything. With her help, I was able to buy a house that both my wife and I truly love and I have no hesitation that this was the best choice for me. I saw many Realtors that just want to sell and they do not care about anything else or even do not have any idea on what the difference is between Townhouse and Condo. Kristen was the one who truly knew the difference and educated me thoroughly on all the details. Prior to our purchase, we saw a house with 4 bedrooms which my wife and I really liked and we were about to go for it, but Kristen stopped us and she knew purchasing that house will put us in trouble as it was in a student neighborhood and she warned us about all the problems that we will encounter as a family when we live in a house that all neighbors are undergrads partying 24/7 and also the difficulty for us to rent it our down the road. My wife and I were amazed by how kind and honest she is with her clients and she thinks more of her client's satisfaction than making money off of it. Long story short, I strongly recommend Kristen to whoever is looking for a good deal in Gainesville Area.

ReviewKristen was super helpful while searching for our first home. Her willingness to show us houses virtually, and tell us her honestly on her view of the houses and location was very appreciated. She was super responsive with any questions we had at whatever hour. Mind you we were at Utah at the time and in the middle of COVID. She also was great at negotiating a lower price for our property to keep within budget. Her entire team was knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful through out the whole process. I highly recommend Kristen for your new house purchase.

ReviewMy wife and I had been through a home search on 2 consecutive occasions 2 years apart. We were not successful. We found Kristen through Zillow reviews. We were both impressed with Kristen's calm and honest personality . We looked at several homes and Kristen was able to learn about our personal tastes. She eventually found us a home before it officially hit the market. We were able to avoid a bidding war and successfully purchased our first home! We absolutely love it! We will certainly use her services again in the future. You couldn't pick a better agent here in Gainesville. Many thanks to Kristen!

ReviewKristen is a friend of my daughter, and knew I was looking in a particular neighborhood and kept eye out for me. While I was hospitalized, she contacted my daughter, told me the house I was interested in, had just been reduced $5,000. Within a couple days my offer was accepted, and I got my home. Kristen is Very professional, informative, and great negotiator. I have made referrals to her, and received great feedback from my friends as well.

ReviewKristen helped us find our perfect home. I can't recommend her highly enough. We were moving to Gainesville for a job at UF and only had 3 months to find a place. Kristen helped take the stress out of buying a house. Being across the country we relied heavily on Kristen and she delivered beyond expectations. We flew in on July 3rd and she made time to show us properties on the 4th and 5th of July. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We put an offer on a place and then Kristen took care of the rest. She recommended great companies for everything that we needed to get done and went to all the inspections. We were able to close on a house within a month of putting in an offer, and it never felt overwhelming. She was wonderful.

ReviewKristen and her Executive Assistant Susan were fantastic! We started with zero house buying experience and she guided us every step along the way. Kristen sat down with us to explain the entire process, including what to expect, things to anticipate, and pitfalls to avoid. We very quickly found a house that we love and she worked tirelessly to make it ours. We couldn't be happier and will definitely recommend Kristen to all of our friends and family!

ReviewI was admittedly worried about the difficulty in selling my property in Gainesville all the way from Arizona. I was afraid I was going to have to make a bunch of costly trips back to FL to make repairs, sign papers and participate in a closing. Kristen eased my concerns from the very beginning. She knows a guy who does everything from yard clean up to painting and drywall. She was very quick in letting me know if there was a change that needed to be made. She was very reliable in getting "paperwork" to me via email when something needed to be signed. She made the process painless for me! Thank you! If Kristen can be amazing from 2000+ miles away, I can only imagine how helpful and wonderful she would be in the same county!

ReviewKristen is so very helpful, knowledgeable, patient, responsive and enjoyable to work with. I was new to Gainesville though I knew the general area I wanted to live in. After serious interest in a couple of houses did not work out, I returned home(out of state) for awhile while continuing to look at listings she sent. When I found aEURoethe perfect houseaEUR? and asked Kristen to go out and take a look (fully trusting at this point that she well knew my likes and dislikes) she went over and beyond. She went out that morning, we had a detailed FaceTime visit of every inch of the house inside and out and when I knew it was the right house she quickly got together comps so that I could make an offer the next day(same time another offer was being made). Offer accepted and I had time to get to Gainesville during the inspection period and see the house up close and personal. I would never have made an offer, even with the inspection period as backupIf a problem, if it were not for my total trust and confidence in Kristen. She continued to meet all needs and expectations throughout the remainder of the process; I cannot recommend her highly enough.

ReviewIve been actively looking for a home in Gainesville since January of 2017, at first with another agent at another brokerage, who was well qualified but things just were not working out. What attracted me to the Thomas Group was their web site, which allowed superior search filters, such as aEURoewithoutaEUR? a pool, not just aEURoewithaEUR? one. Isnt it odd that so many other sites missed this, since so many buyers want a home without a pool? The Thomas website makes it easy to do a simple search, but also offers fine-tuning for those who want it, such as with HOA, without HOA, horse property, adult community, community fitness room, community playground, community pool, gated community, golf community, tennis community, and many, many more. Reducing the aEURoehaystackaEUR? made it so much easier to identify legitimate prospects for me. Looking at other reviews here and the activity levels led me to work with Kristen, who turned out to be spectacular in so many ways. After arriving at Gainesville to look at the homes on my initial list from the web site, Kristen zeroed in on the kinds of homes I would like and found the one I bought, just what I wanted. Kristen is easy to get along with and pleasant, like almost all agents. Some people like me prefer an agent who will volunteer defects or plusses in homes as you tour, and Kristen was excellent in that respect, matching my assessment in areas where I was knowledgeable. Also not shy about saying aEURoeI dont knowaEUR? but will find out. Some buyers prefer to form their own opinions without distractions from an agent, and this was the mode Kristen started out with, but switched over at my request. Just be aware that buyers have different preferences about tour styles and let your agent know what you prefer. When time came to make an offer, Kristen did the best job Ive seen in adjusting comparables to estimate a fair value for the home. The home inspection uncovered a sticking point, and Kristen thoroughly researched the possible remedies and really made it possible for me to buy the home. Kristen never rushed me or pressured me. This was my seventh home purchase and Kristen was far the most expert and helpful agent I have worked with. Highly, highly recommended.

ReviewKristen was a pleasure to work with! From the beginning she explained the process and listened to what was important to us. When she scheduled showings for us all the houses met the specifications we had discussed in the beginning making. In our home buying journey, we had a couple of major setbacks in houses we were ready to purchase that would have been very stressful, but because of her quick response and availability to explain each situation and help us find better solutions, I did not feel stressed. Thanks to Kristen we closed on our new home and we couldnt be happier. I recommend Kristen to anyone that mentions they are interested in buying.

She was innovative, resourceful, positive, and patient. We would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a realtor North Florida!

ReviewWe met Kristen through my sister that was looking to sell her house and purchase another. We started looking at homes ourselves. She was very personable and was always willing to show us houses anytime. We decided to wait for a while because we were looking for something very specific that just wasn't in our price range and the area that we wanted to live. We decided to build a house in our current neighborhood. Kristen referred builders to us and gave us a lot of important information. After we starting in our building process we then listed our house on the market with Kristen. It sold in around the 90 day mark during the fall! Kristen is just an amazing realtor and person. I definitely recommend her if you are in the market to buy or sell.

ReviewKristen was great! We were pretty naive about buying a home. We had very particular details in mind and it was not easy to find a place that fit our requests. Kristen really tried to get to know us in order to find the perfect home. We searched and searched for several months and she never gave up. When we finally did come across an apartment that we liked, Kristen gave us great advice on negotiations and things to be aware of. She is personable and professional. I will likely look for her again when we are ready to sell/buy in the future.

ReviewKristen was amazing. She helped my wife and I through the process of buying our first home....and we closed in only 30 days! No question was silly to her and we always felt like we were her top priority even though we knew she was juggling several clients at once.The best part about Kristen is that she is completely accessible. If we had a question or concern(no matter the time of day/night) we knew we could text , call or even Facebook message her and she would always reply within a very short amount of time. This is something we greatly appreciated because in our professional lives we deal with so many people that don't respond to emails, texts and voicemails in a timely manner and it is so frustrating....we did not have that problem with Kristen....we did not need to babysit our agent!Another thing we greatly appreciated about Kristen was that she had a true interest in our happiness....not just closing the deal. There were times where we considered backing out of the deal (very glad we didn't!) but her support of our choices never wavered....even if it meant that her time and effort had potentially been wasted. We could easily imagine other less mature agents trying to push the deal even when they know their clients aren't happy about something....but this was not the case with Kristen...she supported us 100%.We wholeheartedly recommend Kristen Thompson for all your residential real estate needs.

ReviewWhen my house rental lease had less than two months on it my wife and I needed to make a decision in a hurry. Due to a career opportunity falling through in another city we had to make a decision on whether to rent or buy. We were able to meet with Kristen and her husband to discuss the pros and cons of renting and buying considering we would be moving in three to five years. She had the patience to hear us out and then she laid it all out for us, it was clear that buying was our best option. We were super excited to be taking this step in our lives but we were in a definite time crunch considering we had to be out of our lease in less than two months! Kristen handled this in stride, we were very aggressive in our search for a home and she was able to match our drive, this made us a great team. Kristen made herself available whenever we needed her, alot of times we notified her the night before we wanted to see the home. Kristen showed excellent professionalism throughout this whole process and was able to find our new home with plenty of time to spare. We closed on our home with ten days to spare so we were extremely happy!! Kristen was able to guide us through this whole process keeping it fun and exciting, when negotiations got tough she kept us calm, she notified us about all of the things we need to know about after we moved into our home and she is still sending us info 9 months later. We were lucky to have Kristen as our realtor because now we have a place we can call home.

ReviewI listed a rental house I owned with Kristen Thompson. She was very knowledgeable and helpful during the entire time my house was on the market. When I met with her to discuss listing my house, she provided me with detailed information on the listing process. She recommended certain improvements I needed to make to sell the house quicker. She helped me find service providers to make the improvements. She was always quick to answer any question I had by phone or text. During the entire time my house was on the market she was very pleasant to deal with and helpful in all matters. I feel like she was a definite asset in selling my house. I would highly recommend her to others.

Purchasing my first home was an amazing experience and I thank her tremendously. She dedicated a lot of time to make sure my home, my price, and my location was everything I wanted.

ReviewWe went through 2 realtors before we met Kristen. The first realtor wasn't taking us to any houses that met our requests and the next was a realtor for a large agency, with great reviews, but ended up dropping us because she didn't have time to deal with a couple who's purchase price was so low. Kristen was very down to earth, hard working, and met our needs perfectly. We closed on our home on 8/07/15 and couldn't be happier. She had to have shown us nearly 30-40 homes (or so it seemed lol) and never complained about us basically wasting her time. She was always available on a moments notice which was great because that is what made our purchase happen. When it came to getting the contract together she was so helpful and quick. Being first time home buyers we didn't know what to expect or what we had the right of asking the seller for. I felt very comfortable asking her opinion knowing she wouldn't steer us wrong. She got the seller to approve everything on our request list, including a $850 roof repair! Even up until the morning of the closing she made everything happen when it didn't look like it would. We never felt like a bother and that was a great feeling because we knew how it felt to be told by someone that our dream home wasn't good enough for them to help us look for. We will definitely send her anyone we know who is looking to purchase a home. Thank you again Kristen for being so wonderful and we wish you great luck in your career!

ReviewTwo years ago, I bought a new house. I'd saved 30 years for this house and it was and still is--a joy. But selling my old house was going to be a challenge. I had not updated it at all, and it was in rough shape. So I tried to sell it for two years. I did call a realtor at some point, but after looking at it, it was clear she wasn't happy with the property. So I never followed up with her. Finally after two years of sitting, my brother said "I'm calling a realtor", and we were fortunate enough to be introduced to Kristen Thompson of The Thomas Group. She was perfect! She produced a booklet detailing what other homes in the area were selling for or had gone for to help me decide on a fair price. She explained how she was going to put my house out there online. She said she would give me the same attention she would give any other client. Well, It sold in one day! She even got an extra thousand dollars from the potential buyers. She was fantastic through the whole process, and a nicer, friendlier person you will never meet. I am so grateful to Kristen. If you are looking for a realtor who is great to work with and will give you 110%, please call Kristen Thompson.

ReviewKristen was an answer to prayer for my family from the very start. She sought us out as we unsuccessfully attempted to sell our home by owner. She offered her professional & wise advice all along the way, yet still gave us as the sellers the right to make our own choices. She guides us along our journey. When we finally realized we needed help professionally, Kristen kindly accepted us. She spent countless hours coaching, advising, caring, & guiding us through the selling process. She was always available, reliable, dependable. She helped us sell our home & purchase our dream home. We never could have done so without her. Again, she was an answer to our prayer from the very start.
