Kristina Talkie is such a wonderful person and we are delighted to have been able to work with her once again.

After I narrowed my search to Sarasota I found Kristina by pure luck. After giving Kristina my wish list she went to work immediately sending me options based on my price range. Flying down on multiple occasions Kristina was exceptionally patient while forming a vision of the perfect retirement home for me and my family. Our home included everything on our wish list and then some. Kristina was there every step of the way through the closing and even took an entire morning off out of her very busy schedule receiving multiple furniture deliveries for me. I can not say enough about Kristina's professionalism, intelligence and extremely pleasant manner. If your a buyer or a seller look no further and call Kristina, it'll be the easiest decision you'll ever make with such an important investment --- your home!
