"Kristin Malfer and her staff were always on the ball when it came to closing on my property. Since I had already moved to the West Coast, I needed someone who could handle the entire process for me. They moved quickly when it came to appraisals, inspections, repairs and closing the sale.”

Repeatedly, she not only went to work, but even proactively dealt with issues before they could become problems. Never once did I have to request her assistance. She was on it from the word go, looking out for us in every way.”

“I have never been let down by Kristin Malfer or a member of her team. This is the 7th real estate transaction I have had the pleasure of using her office for and in this instance we used Alex. Alex did an amazing job, gave great advice, and in the end, we got the home we wanted.”
