KRISTIN BALALIS

"This was the only time we've gone through the process of selling a home, so it was a learning experience for us. Kristin did a fantastic job of explaining every step of the process to us. She also gave us frequent updates on things as they happened. While selling our condo was still a stressful situation for us, Kristin's frequent e-mails and calls were very helpful in keeping us up-to-date on everything and letting us keep the stress at a tolerable level. Additionally, one of the first things that was in the paperwork involved in the process was a section letting us know that Kristin would be acting as a fiduciary during the sales process. That was a reassuring thing for us to hear, even though we already knew that Kristin would do a good job for us with selling our condo. Kristin was very understanding about our family member's health situation, and she was very patient with us when it took us a little longer than originally planned to get our home cleaned up and ready to go on the market. Kristin was never pushy about anything, and she even spent some of her free time assisting us with some packing and cleaning. She definitely did much more for us than the bare minimum in helping to get our home on the market and sold promptly."

Kristin listened to my needs, was very responsive and knowledgeable when I needed answers and was very patient with me during this stressful time. I would absolutely recommend her and Peak 21 in the future.

Kristen went beyond expectations!

Kristin Balalis is fantastic in every way. We interviewed several realtors before finally finding her – and she was our lucky charm! Met her on a Thursday, and the very next day our future home came on the market. We visited it on Saturday, and a week later we were already in escrow! Our offer was among MANY, but with her advice and veteran knowledge, we were able to put together a winning offer on the first try! Kristin was a top-notch professional: she boldly advocated and negotiated on our behalf; empowered us to trust our instincts; provided clarity and sound expertise; answered every question; was easily accessible; and offered tons of local referrals and services that helped us build our future home team (i.e. plumbing, roofing, electrician). Kristin also understands what it’s like working within a budget, and still finding a home in a neighborhood you love. Buying our first home in an extremely competitive market, we thought would be overwhelming, but Kristin smoothed the way and was an absolute joy to work alongside — we haven’t laughed this much since before the pandemic! We highly recommend Kristin. You will be in great care.

I was impressed at how quickly Kristin had potential buyers viewing the property. Kristin had several offers in hand with a few days of placing the property on the market. We sold for more than the asking price within a week thanks to Kristin.

Kristin helped us buy our first house. We highly recommend her as a knowledgeable professional that she is. It was a nerve wrecking experience, as you can imagine, she guided us through the whole process and helped to make it as easy and smooth as possible. Kristin is a people's person, very genuine and empathic. We appreciated the fact that we could reach out to her anytime of the day, as well as weekends with all of our questions. She always had the time and enough patience to answer all of them and make sure that we are comfortable with our choices and decisions.
