Please know that we could not be happier with Ms. Kristina Talkie. She demonstrated great professionalism, knowledge and caring both before and after the move. She is truly one in a million and we can't say enough about her skills and personality. She followed up on every minor point assuring that we were always in the loop. Thank you for the opportunity to do business with your firm - we will be back!
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.
Kristian Waskom was our agent. She was exceptional from our first contact; she was professional and extremely knowledgeable about properties at Crystal Sands. She marketed the property in such a way that we were aware of comparable units and was willing to go the extra mile for us as we were not in the area. I would highly recommend Kristina to anyone interested in buying or selling a property on the Key. She's easy to work with and has a pleasant demeanor in what could be a stressful situation.
The safety and health of our customers and staff are our top priority.
