Client Success Stories

Verified reviews from Krystal’s clients on RateMyAgent

★★★★★
“We were living in a home that we loved but was no longer meeting our needs as a family. We were overwhelmed working parents of 2 small kids and contacted Krystal on a whim, thinking that maybe moving would be easier than struggling to make the house we had work for us. Krystal was patient with us, understanding and low-pressure. She was realistic about prices and timelines. She helped us decide what we needed to do to get our house sold and supported us through the process. She also found us a house that checked every box on our wish list and fit our budget. She is an amazing negotiator and the experience couldn’t have gone more smoothly. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“Krystal was attentive to our needs and was professional in every way; she made us feel that we were in very competent hands. She spent a great deal of time with staging our house…it was very interesting for us to see her professionalism in this area, and her ideas were right on. We received an offer within 2 weeks. We were very relieved that we got the referral to Krystal. And we would refer her and have referred her to others.”

★★★★★
“Our relationship with Krystal began when our family was on route to Edmonton from Saskatchewan, with the intention of viewing numerous properties. Our daughter’s realtor was unexpectedly ill and was not well enough to attend the showings. Rather than turning around, our daughter began to desperately call realtors. Krystal took the call, and on extremely short notice, came to the rescue! She spent her entire afternoon showing properties without hesitation. We have experienced Krystal to be very knowledgeable, competent, attentive, personable, helpful, and also has an amazing sense of humour. Krystal has went well above and beyond our expectations, was extremely patient, and worked tirelessly to find our daughter the perfect property. Krystal is a very talented and dedicated realtor and we are very thankful for all she has done!”

“Krystal has been simply outstanding! She has went above and beyond to help us out with finding a wonderful condo for our daughter. She has arranged multiple viewings, responded to all of our requests, and has availed herself to ensuring our daughter’s first home purchase has been a very positive experience. She genuinely cares and has been extraordinary in walking our daughter through the offer/purchase process. Thank you Krystal for all of your tremendous work – we will recommend you to everyone!”

“Krystal was a huge part of me purchasing my first home. She was very patient with me and very willing to work within my budget. And she was a rockstar when it came to negotiations!”
Megan
First Home Purchase, Edmonton, AB | January 2021
★★★★★
“I was very pleased with the knowledge and excitement Krystal brought to showing of the houses we chosen to look at. Krystal is very smart at her job, helpful on what to look for and insightful options to future improvements or expansion in buying a home to be happy with. The house I decided to buy I wasn’t keen on at first sight but Krystal insisted we should have a look. Turns out it’s the perfect house and perfect location of what I was looking for. Very happy!”
