Kristie is the most outstanding realtor I have ever worked with. She is professional in all aspects of her job, including communication, is an excellent negotiator, and has knowledge of the market. We recently enlisted her help in identifying and purchasing two properties to complete a 1031 exchange. She helped us identify and submit competitive offers on both properties, ensuring that our exchange was done on time, There were many parties involved and she skillfully managed the complex communications with the exchange intermediary, other realtors, and two title companies. She has many resources in the industry and is very helpful in directing her clients to the right resource. We are so impressed with her abilities that we recommend her to everyone that we know who is buying or selling property. In fact, in the last 3 years, she has represented us in 4 transactions and we are beyond satisfied! We intend to work with her on every transaction we complete in the future. She deserves every one of the five stars that she earned.

Kristie was amazing to work with, she is the our "house angel"! She helped with every part of the process, and made what could be stressful, a pleasant experience. Her knowledge in the housing industry was comforting and made the overall transaction productive and timely. She was willing to do whatever it took to get the job done, and, supported us with every part of the process. She was so accurate in her assessment, execution, and overall approach and her team took such care into creating a wonderful experience, they even made showing a breeze. Would recommend 10 out of 10.

Kristie was amazing to work with! She has great local knowledge and was very tactful with building an offer that feels personalized and also competitive. She was available all hours of the day, has a highly productive team and references, and was a great backboard when I needed someone to help me ensure I was making the right decision. Ive referred her to multiple friends and family members, all with very positive outcomes.

I highly recommend Kristen Perry for your home-buying journey. We were first-time buyers, and Kristen guided us through the entire process with patience, excellent communication and her expertise about Marin. She truly cares about her clients, and it shows from the initial intake call to the final touches like a generous welcome box and champagne when we moved in. She is very knowledgeable about Marin, she is very flexible to discuss questions/needs as they come up, and I believe she advocated for us well in the process. She leveraged her network of connections in Marin to help us get quick quotes on repairs needed during the inspection process, and to help us evaluate price. Even after the sale of the home, I've continued to leverage Kristen for recommendations in our new neighborhood. She cares very deeply about her clients, and I'd recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
