Beautiful farm home in Berryville Virginia

Hannah and Kristin are detail-oriented and always ahead of each step of the process, as we were selling our home. The advertising with fun videos showed the spirit of our farm, and a really slick brochure showed the beauty of the house. What they did online was so fun and professional. Once there was an offer on the house, she made sure it was exactly what we wanted. Hannah followed us every step of the way with all the inspections, timelines, agendas, and closing. We were exhausted with the move, but she never seemed tired and always helped us out. Our dream came true, and she made it happen.

I highly recommend Kristin Crockett! We are empty nesters who needed to downsize and simplify. We had the additional challenge of wanting to buy BEFORE selling our older, larger home. We also had a huge challenge of 7-week international travel that was at risk of conflicting with our house sale closing. Kristin guided us through our home search and both the buy and sell transactions masterfully. She has connections with many service providers, including a lender who figured out the finances that allowed us to buy before selling. We found our dream retirement home—that has a bigger kitchen than our former home—more quickly than we ever expected. She has amazing organization tools that helped us keep on time with every step of both transactions. She gave us excellent advice but was never pushy. She developed a very useful plan for readying our house for sale and a way to proceed with the settlement on the sale even if our travel plans were to conflict with closing.
