Crysta has a very direct “bed-side manner”, straight forward, “say it like it is”, no frills, no beating around the bush, no sales kinda gal. It came first as a surprise but was very welcome to the alternative of being sold anything we walked into. She gave honest opinions in addition to helpful market knowledge and experience over time. All of these things helped us feel comfortable following her suggestions from how much to bid to when to walk away and much more. She remained accessible though our search was intense and constant. It’s hard to stick with clients through so many houses and so many bids. She also gave us room to explore ourselves. One of the best things is all her recommendations for after we purchased the house. But through the experience she really got all the papers done in a wink of time, and constantly reassured us through the process as it can get overwhelming as the buyer. She also followed us when I think it was best to do so when we wanted to ask for a significant price reduction. I can imagine other agents not wanting to present that to a buyer but she did it all. I highly recommend her.

Crysta is earnest, dedicated, and connected. She was very informed on opportunities in the region, well-ahead of others, and was able to bring us to examine several off-market opportunities or listings (including our now home) before these were on the market. In addition, Crysta excelled at understanding and the anticipating needs of our growing family, with young children and parents who work from home. Her ability to relate with others and easy-going (but pointed) manner was an asset in many conversations. She was also a lot of fun. I would highly recommend meeting with Crysta and partnering with her in your searches.

Crysta is an excellent professional, honest, and very knowledgeable. I can speak volumes of five-star reviews about her work. I would recommend her with no hesitation.

Crysta is one of the most dedicated, honest, and hard working agents I know. Recently we have worked together on a half dozen transactions and has done an amazing job for me and our mutual clients. She is extremely knowledgeable and helped prepare this property for sale by bringing in her vendors including repairmen, replaced all the aging shag carpet, staged the home, photographed and listed, and showed the home continuously. This resulted in about $1M in extra proceeds to my client. She also went above and beyond to help them locate and lease their next home.

Excellent and Professional

We were referred to Crysta by one our daughters whom Crysta help find a home in Montecito. With Crysta's professional advice we were able to purchase a home we wanted at a price we could afford. Before moving in the home needed new floors and interior painting. Crysta was excellent helping us find good contractors that charged reasonable prices. Help coordinating turn on of utilities was also much appreciated. We highly recommend her services.

Crysta is smart, a great negotiator, and made everything very easy for me with regard to tasks at hand and best use of my time.

Crysta is very knowledgeable about the market, professional and trustworthy. The entire process was smooth and successful. We would recommend Crysta to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house.
