Kristina and her team are not just waiting for a paycheck! They are knowledgeable and remain actively involved from the first connect until the finish line. Even wrapping issues that come up post closing. They are a pleasure to work with. Don’t hesitate to call whether you are selling or buying!

We met Kristina in 2018 when she represented us in our first real estate transaction! This is our fourth real estate transaction with Kristina representing us I can’t even tell you how hard she worked on getting this last sale done. She did an outstanding job on staging our property and the sale wouldn’t have gone through without her and her teams diligence communication and integrity. Thank you, Kristina

One of the Best in the Business!

One of the Best in the Business!

This is the fifth time we've purchased a home. We met Kristina Novak when she was representing a property of interest to us in the Santa Ynez valley. It was immediately obvious how expert and knowledgeable Kristina was about property in The Valley as well as local building laws. We worked with Kristina looking for a property with a home for my wife and I as well as space to build a second family home for one daughter's family and a large ADU for the other. Our appreciation rapidly grew for Kristina's ability to communicate clearly and often, her consistent efforts to solve each of our problems (sometimes before my wife or I understood the problem existed) and to always be there when we needed her. Our search took almost a full year from beginning to finding and closing on the property we now own. We made an offer on a property and had it accepted. As we learned more during the escrow, we then withdrew it. Our search continued but without any pushing from Kristina. Kristina was clearly our expert partner in this process, not simply an agent focused on quickly earning the largest commission possible. For example, Kristina ensured we performed all of the necessary inspections, including an arbor specialist on one property, septic, roofing and solar experts on another, and contractor repair/upgrade evaluations on several. And even in these months since closing, Kristina has not disappeared. When we need the name of a good and trusted plumber, HVAC or insulation company, or other service personnel, Kristina is quick to reply with one or several resources. Kristina is a realtor for whom we would provide a reference to our family, friends and anyone looking for property in the SY Valley. I doubt that there is an agent in The Valley who is more experienced and knowledgeable, as easy to work and communicate with, or who understands the legal ramifications of nearly every part of the buying process as well. Kristina Novak is the consummate Real Estate Professional.

There’s so much wrapped up in a real estate transaction

There’s so much wrapped up in a real estate transaction

There’s so much wrapped up in a real estate transaction. It can be clunky, emotional and stressful. And that’s even before a move takes place. To have someone with the ability to soften the edges of a typically unpleasant process was the ultimate gift. Deeply knowledgeable about her market and the craft of navigating these transactions, Kristina Novak was a consummate guide through the ups and downs of a house hunt, contract negotiation and due diligence. Her patience and professionalism were unparalleled and we can’t wait to call her our neighbor.

Kristina was quick to respond. She listened closely and tailored the houses she showed us houses that met what we were looking for. She was approachable and did an excellent job of explaining the processes. She continued to be as responsive and helpful throughout the entire process.

Kristina worked with us for over 2 1/2 years...

Kristina worked with us for over 2 1/2 years patiently helping us find the property of our dreams. She was super responsive on any questions we asked and went above and beyond in any request. She even helped us find an excavator to meet us at a property we were looking at. You had a question, she found the answer, fast. We consider her our friend after spending this journey together. Kristina truly had our best interest, and backs, from the beginning of our journey until the end. She truly cares about her clients and helping them find their perfect home. We wouldn’t have wanted to spend this long journey with any other agent. She’s the best!

Had a great experience locating and buying a home with Krisitina. The key to a good experience for me is to have an agent who knows how to communicate. Kristina knows her business, answers questions clearly and quickly, and listens to her buyer. She was continually checking in with me on the progress and solving my issues quickly. Loved working with her.

I have now bought and sold several residences with Kristina. She’s THE BEST!

Kristina has always been incredibly professional and extremely knowledgeable. She is attentive to details, straightforward in her suggestions & feedback and not only listens well, but follows through as requested. On top of this she is personable and a skilled communicator with all sorts of people. She’s certainly a realtor I would not hesitate to recommend as one of the best I have ever worked with!
