Kristi was able to sell our home in a buyers market for a very favorable price. Her experience, preparation and ultimate presentation of our home resulted in an offer in just three weeks, which ultimately led to the sale of our home. Prior to that time, our home had been on the market with another realtor for seven months, without any offers. We feel strongly that if we had used Kristi from the start, our home would have sold in a fraction of the time.

The Standard & Poor's/Case Shiller index showed home prices in the metro area jumped 6 percent in July compared to a year ago, far outpacing the 20-city composite that showed a 1.2 percent gain. The Twin Cities trailed only Phoenix, which saw prices soar 16.6 percent for the month.
