Kristin D. Smith went above and beyond in communicating & negotiating with the sellers/selling agent in our recent home buying experience. She made everything less stressful. We also trusted her with the selling of our home a year ago, and we are so glad we did, because it was the best selling experience we've ever had. I highly recommend Kristin based on her local knowledge and professionalism. Thank you!

Kristin D. Smith made the home buying experience THE least stressful of all the buying or selling experiences that we have ever had, and we've had a lot of real estate transactions over the last 21 years. She listened to and understood our needs; was willing to go out and show us many properties (even long shots;) had a good understanding of market conditions and local factors; and advocated for us well in the negotiations. When hiccups came up (as they always do in this field) Kristin went to work resolving them so nothing turned into real problems. Kristin also represented us when we sold our previous home, and it was also the best selling experience we've ever had too. She helped us choose just the right price point to generate lots of interest and several great offers right away, so our property sold quickly instead of sitting stagnant. I have only joyful things to say about the experience of working with Kristin.

A joy to work with, her knowledge once she knew what was needed, work provided, answering questions. An amazing person.
From the moment we first spoke with Kristin, we knew she understood our needs! She's been attentive, professional and exceptionally knowledgeable. She made the process so enjoyable and easy. We loved how promptly she would get back to us with all the information we needed! Kristin is a graceful expert ! She makes you feel heard, valued and well taken care of.
We had previously had our home with another firm. After not selling for numerous months we turned to her because she was local and new the community. I can not recommend Kristin highly enough. She was so helpful and anticipated our unique needs (we had moved out of state and had no immediate access to our home.). Our house couldn't have been in better hands.

The first impression I had at meeting Kristin D. Smith made all the difference in choosing her as our agent. I could tell she really cared.
Kristin was honest, knowledgeable, and good at communicating. She referred us to a good contractor for a repair that made our living room look great. Her photographer did an amazing job with photos. Her help and tips in comparing offers and writing counter offers made everything easier.
After inspections, when two of the buyer's roofing bids came in high, Kristin called in another roofer she knew. Her roofer was clear about the work that actually needed to be done, and which recommended work was unnecessary and/or a mistake on the part of the other roofers. His bid came in less than half of the others and saved us a lot of money. Kristin handled the communication clearly and professionally between the roofers and the other agent so that the buyer could trust our bid/scope of work and proceed with the sale.
Kristin was a joy to work with. This experience was one of the easiest and least stressful of all the real estate transactions my husband and I have had to do over the last 22 years.
Our overall experience was smooth and professional. I would highly recommend Kristin.
She was outstanding in every way. Detailed,good listener,knew all the Ins and outs of neighborhoods pleasant, informative,she met my son and his boss while shopping. So it ened up she sold his boss a house before. So she is involved in the community. I couldn't have asked for a better agent
Seamless on her part she asked for repairs on are behave all terms were excepted. Things we didn't know we allowed to be fixed after the home inspection.
She is the best not one thing was left undone.
Always checks in to see if we needed anything
Even after we got the keys continued to follow up. Feels like a friend for life. The home we bought couldn't have been more perfect for my family. This is my sons first home we bought together. She had to deal with multi generational needs and wants it's fantastic. Above what we hoped for couldn't have a better location or home thanks to her.
This is the second property we have bought using Kristin as our broker. She is fabulous and goes way beyond what is expected. Would definitely use her in the future. She is absolutely the best!!!!!
It was a complicated process and Kristen did a fabulous job handling all thr ins and outs of our negotiations. Can't thank her enough.....
Elizabeth Bentley Portland Oregon, a seller from Albany, OR
I originally asked Kristin Smith for advice on a cash sale of a property in SE Albany that was uninhabited and in poor condition. Through her efforts we were able to close in 2 weeks with a sales price that was 75% higher than what I was originally intending to sell for.
Kristins knowledge of the local market and local resources were extremely helpful; she was able to see the historic value of the property and capitalize on that value to get a quick sale at a good price.
I would never attempt to sell a property again without an agent and I hope I can find someone as excellent as Kristin to help in future!
Myrna Liddell, Philomath,Oregon , a buyer from Philomath, OR
Kristen managed to keep adjusting with our various choices and directions. She was considerate of our out of state and in state searches. She gave sound counsel and clear explanations of real estate laws and protocols in this area. We were grateful for her patience and persistence in assisting us.
I highly recommend Kristin Smith. Kristin is the best realtor I have ever worked with. She went above and beyond my expectations. She is knowledgeable and easy to work with, detail oriented, professional, friendly, and was always helpful and available when I needed her to be. I can't recommend her enough.
Working with Kristin for my first time home buy was an absolutely wonderful experience. She seemed to be familiar with so many aspects and details about the area that she thought I would be interested in. She made us feel like she actually cared about the outcome and our happiness which was important for us. I did not expect to have such a smooth experience to be totally honest.
Stan Boshart, Albany Oregon, a buyer from Albany, OR
I appreciate and trust Kristin, she has knowledge of the area and whats for sale and will contact me if theres anything close to what Im looking for, both selling and buying.
Lori Boshart Albany Oregon, a buyer from Albany, OR
Kristin did a wonderful job. She looked ahead to possible difficulties and handled them professionally and efficiently. She was a good encourager when things looked a little bleak.
Everyone I have met has been friendly and helpful.
Any question I had, Kristin was right on it trying to find the answers. Any time I would text she would respond right away even after hours! She was extremely knowledgeable on any and all of my millions of questions and never seems fed up with all of them either!
It is RARE that I ever give someone perfect scores or 100% ratings but I can truly say that there was not 1 single thing that disappointed me about Kristin's service to us. She went above and beyond.
Kristin listened to what we wanted and needed. She made sure to show us only houses that met our needs. She helped and supported us through the entire process. She was quick to respond to email and text messages. I just adore Kristin. <3
Arleen Gregg Lebanon, OR, a seller from Albany, OR
Kristin D. Smith was professional, kind and hands on involved. She was available to stay in communication during the whole process. Being an out of state owner, she had to go above and beyond to oversee repairs and carpet installation as well as pick it out with me! She remained positive and cheerful throughout and I am thankful for her services and friendship extended. 2018
Kristin was great to work with, always friendly and easy to talk to. I'm glad she was my agent. Very highly recommended. 2018
April Mcguire, Redmond, Washington, a seller from Albany, OR
You could not find another realtor who would provide the level of service and dedication to the sale of a home. She was so helpful and I trust her...that is what is so great about Kristin. I feel like I made a new for life friend. 2017
scott Neuschwander Harrisburg, or, a buyer from Albany, OR
She has always been a great help in our buying and selling of property Very knowledgeable and professional 2017
Kristen was amazing! We dealt with a difficult loan in a tough market and Kristen was with us every step of the way. In this kind of a market you need a fighter in your corner, somebody who will work hard for you. Kristen was such a blessing. We know that we wouldn't have this house if it wasn't for her and we are so thankful. I would recommend her to anybody. 2017
Amanda L. Albany, Oregon , a seller from Albany, OR
Kristin was great from the moment I made the first contact with her, which was actually by email.
She helped me thru the difficult task of selling an estate property, and was knowledgeable about what went into it.
She met me at the house, gave me pointers before listing, and even helped reading the house before taking pictures, which is definitely above and beyond.
When the house had an offer, we were actually on our honeymoon, and she dealt with a lot while we were away.
She advocated for us, and helped with lining up a contractor to do needed repairs before the sale could be finalized.
We will DEFINITELY be calling her when we are ready to sell/buy again. 2017
Nicole Hobbs, Millersburg, a buyer from Albany, OR
Kristin Smith and her team were exceptional. She was knowledgeable and her communication with us through the whole process was excellent. She and her team kept us up to date and aware of each step in the process. This allowed us to be more confident in our purchase and gave us peace through the whole thing. 2017
We started our search for a new place from Florida and Kristin made the entire process easy and minimized the stress. She emailed us many homes that fit our criteria and once we settled on a few possible homes we flew to Oregon to meet with Kristin. During that time we found another home listed as for sale by owner that we were interested in and Kristin made contact with the owner and arranged for us to see the property. We made an offer and Kristin continued to work on our behalf on this purchase. We flew back to Florida and on the day of closing, the seller wanted to back out of the deal but Kristin worked diligently on our behalf and the sale went through as it should have. Without her professional knowledge, dedication and determination we would not have gotten this home. Kristen is much more than a real estate agent, she is a kind person who thrives on making the best deal for her clients. My wife and I have come to consider Kristin a friend and I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling a home. You could not be in better hands if she is in your court.
Thank you Kristin Smith. 2017
Carolyn Richards, Independence, a buyer from Albany, OR
Kristin Smith was/is an excellent realtor! She was always available to us (great communicator) and was knowledgeable regarding neighborhoods, schools, local services, and frequently pointed out positive and negative things to look for in a new house. Kristin handled everything smoothly and kept us informed of any changes or new information in a timely manner. I highly recommend her services to anyone! 2017
