Client Testimonials

Kristen was patient, positive, persistent, and above all extremely knowledgeable about the East Bay housing market. As first-time home buyers, my husband and I didn't exactly know what we were getting ourselves into and Kristen was there for us every step of the way. She went above and beyond to show us lots of options around the East Bay as we discovered what we were really looking for. She helped us to present multiple offers and had a great understanding of prices that was incredibly valuable in such a competitive climate. In the end, Kristen helped us to find the perfect house and we couldn't be more appreciative of her support and commitment to helping us!

If you want a real estate agent that "makes things happen" you've come to the right one. Not only is Kristen Thompson knowledgeable about her market, a commiserate professional and a great person to boot, she is also willing to literally go the extra mile for you. Kristen shows up, gets things done and is exceptionally responsive. She will keep you on task with her calendar and deadlines, but I assure you it is because she has YOU and YOUR INTERESTS at the top of her priority list. I am so happy we chose Kristen to sell our property, and you will not be disappointed.

Kristen was very realistic as well as optimistic. While we did not quite get what we expected in the selling price, I do think she tried very hard to get qualified buyers. Kristen was responsive and assisted greatly throughout the process. We had to handle much of the sale after relocating to another state and Kristen was supportive beyond expectations.

We both bought and sold our condo in Oakland with Kristen. She was terrifically helpful, responsive to our needs and interests, and guided our decision making. We were thrilled to have her help for both transactions (almost 10 years apart!) and would recommend her to anyone.

I wish I can have Kristen help buy and sell all of my homes!!! Too bad, she only works in Northern California. My husband and I hired Kristen as our realtor to sell our Emeryville condo. We live in Southern California and could not be there to oversee a lot of things. Kristen made the process smooth and painless. She is great with advising our condo on all the online sites to give it the best exposure. She helped arrange for staging, and kept us updated constantly. Most importantly, she sold our place at a price that was beyond my highest expectation!! Kristen, thank you so much! You are a wonderful realtor and a even better person. You are genuine, considerate and have poise during those intense moment of selling a real estate. Im so glad you are our realtor!

Kristen has both helped me sell, and just recently buy a new home. I am a repeat customer which theoretically says it all. But it bears repeating--Kristen is a class act, a great realtor and if I ever needed another agent, I'd ask her to represent me a third time. I highly recommend Ms. Thompson.

Kristen is a wonderful agent that helped me and my wife through our first home purchase. She was extremely professional, patient with all of our “newb” questions, and was very responsive (even late at night when we had very short deadlines on paperwork). She also successfully fought for us during negotiations to get a lower price. I will recommend her to all of my friends when they look to purchase a home and plan to call upon her again when (if) we sell our new home.

We bought 2 houses with Kristen help and she was excellent to work with. She was great help with searching properties and putting down just the right offer at right time. She is our personal realtor forever.

Deborah

Kristen is a skilled, dedicated, and patient agent whom I would recommend to anyone. Due to various issues out of our control, my home purchase was not an easy one. There was more than one instance where the direction of the purchase took a sideways turn and almost seemed as if it would not happen. If she hadn't been my agent this might have been the case! Even though the deal took an inordinate amount of time, she always answered all of my questions and worked diligently and conscientiously to close the deal.

Kristen was amazingly helpful through all parts of my first home purchase. She found great places for me to see and helped navigate through the entire process. Professional the entire way, I highly recommend Kristen if you're looking for a real estate agent.

Zillow Review

Kristen Thompson is a fantastic agent. She has helped me buy a home in 2004 and we went back to her when we were ready to sell because she was such a respectful, responsive and knowledgeable agent. She has always gone above and beyond to make sure we are happy and getting the most for our money. The most important thing I can say about her is that she is honest and a sharp negotiator. I would use her again and again!

Zillow Review

It is very easy to assign top marks for Ms. Thompson. The time to sell was "now," but as a very busy professional, I could not have sold my space without her. Kristen provided guidance that was always spot on and yet I never felt pressured. Instead, I felt that I was well informed by my agent who made it a point, herself, to know about the market in my area, and what was happening with legal or other developments that might have affected the sale. She is adept with technology to make the often tedious paperwork process as seamless as possible. Kristen also had great suggestions for the staging and graphic presentations. The open house and showings were painless even though I still lived in my loft. Kristen is an ace negotiator, but also a very straight shooter. I felt that the buyer and I were both well served. Her work is classy, precise and swift. Kristen did a great job for me, and I intend to use her the next time I buy or sell a home.
