Kris Nafziger

Kris did an incredible job communicating, finding each listing, and setting up walkthroughs to view the properties. He knows so much about the housing market that he made the process easy and straightforward especially for me as someone who was new to it all. His negotiating and knowledge helped me find my perfect home. Couldn’t have done it without Kris and 100% recommend him as an agent.

I first worked with Kris in spring of 2024. He represented me as a buyer who was looking for non-entitled parcel zoned for Multi-Family Residential. He listened to my wants, needs, and preferences and delivered multiple options within the stated parameters. We made and offer that was accepted but he structured the escrow to included enough margin for due diligence. Kris' pursuit of excellence in business practice lead us to getting a price reduction driven by the data and research he produced and we closed 30 days after reduction. Fast forward to spring of 2026. Kris lead me through the process of selling a land parcel that included multiple offers, disclosures, rare contingency requests, etc. In short he was able to secure and offer that resulted in net profit as well as being able to close in a 7 days, cash deal. To this day he sends me holiday cards and checks in to see if I have any needs or wants and asks about how my business and I am doing. His broker must be well pleased with his soft skills and I am confident his numbers only affirm his value to the brokerage.

My husband and I had been looking for real estate after selling our long time home in OC on and off for over a year, from SLO to San Diego, not finding much that excited us for this retired new phase of life. We ultimately decided on the Central Coast, which holds a special place in our hearts. We wanted a 'unique' property with a bit of a 'wow' factor. After working with a couple of 'just ok' agents who mostly focused on positives that didn't mean much to our needs, we found Kris who gave us true, valuable input which included amazing benefits but also drawbacks that were important to our decision. He listened not only to our words, but he listened in between the lines! Kris also chuckled and entertained our crazy ability to flip between an inland ranch and an ocean view condo in the same day! He also had a good sense of humor towards our HGTV like sarcasm. Resort style living was new to us and posed questions. Kris not only pulled from his own experience, but dug deeper than most to get us answers, providing recommendations for insurance brokers, appliances, tax base questions, putting us in touch with the most trusted in the industry. His responses were quick and timely. We also appreciated how he treated confidentiality with the utmost importance. During negotiations, Kris never said no to our requests, but guided us into what would be beneficial to the overall end results. We felt completely at home at the DB way before the ink was even dry. He introduced us to the staff, and this was the clincher for us! What an incredible team at the DB and Kris had been a part of that team for many years, a people culture we wanted around us each day, responsive, hard working, kind, flexible, yet super fun! True confidence & appreciation for Kris really came AFTER the close. Kris followed up with every last minor detail, provided a beautiful gift bag, and continues to check in on our satisfaction. Thanks Kris! Best place in the world to drink coffee for three hours a day!

Kris understood the market in the area I made the purchase and was able to help me understand the nuances of both the property and the community. He was very quick to respond to my questions and to act as a liaison with the property management. As a result of Kris’s diligence, my purchase was very uneventful. I certainly would use Kris again and recommend him to all.

To say that Kris is an asset to the Central Coast real estate market, would be a drastic understatement. He helped us with our recent home purchase, dealing with some pretty unique challenges, and he was the picture of calm, professionalism and resourcefulness the whole way through. Impeccably organized and a fantastic communicator, he helped us ask so many of the right questions that we may never have thought to ask ourselves. Kris was a kind and professional voice of reason when challenges arose. He holds his peace so well which goes a long way during difficult negotiations. Additionally, Kris is so well connected that he was even able to provide and set up appointments with quality local specialty professionals for repairs and estimates as needed and quickly. I know he was juggling several other things at the same time as our deal, but it never showed! He was always incredibly responsive, and somehow always made it to the many onsite visits we had to make with this particular transaction - several of them with little notice, to meet repair professionals. We are so grateful for his level of care and attention to detail. We truly cannot imagine having gotten through our transaction without him! We are very happy with our home purchase. Look no further if you are looking for a stand out agent - Kris is your guy!

Kris was our remote realtor helping us with a search in the Pismo/Arroyo Seco area while we live in Morgan Hill. The fact that we were doing these searches remotely amplified the need for good and timely communication. He excelled in both. When we would travel down to view properties he was very organized and effective in making the most of the time we had. After we selected a home and made an offer, he was our great eyes-and-ears on the property we selected involved ion all the inspections and any repairs that were done.
