Kristina Talkie is such a wonderful person and we are delighted to have been able to work with her once again. Having interviewed several other realtors in the process, no one came close to the professionalism that Kristina portrayed, yet being so personal and at every step of the way making sure that we were comfortable in what was transpiring at a difficult time of our lives. She comes with the highest recommendation and we appreciate her and your company.
Kristina Talkie was referred to us by a close friend and our financial consultant. She was very patient and perceptive in leading us to the perfect home. She was present at every decision point and every meeting through our closing. Then she helped us resolve some post-closing loose ends such as redone repairs. In the above-and-beyond-the-call-of-duty category, Ms. Talkie gave us much personal advice and referrals for services. Needless to say, we did indeed feel that our service was “exceptional”.
I have nothing but praise for your company, and in particular, Kristina Talkie. As you may know, I purchased three properties in Sarasota, and in each case I felt as if I were Kristina’s only client, that is the level of service I received. She was never too busy to take my calls, return my calls or respond to my requests. I trusted her completely, and indeed I purchased one property sight unseen – I relied solely on her expertise and her understanding of me and my wishes.
The safety and health of our customers and staff are our top priority.
