06/19/2014 - roysterdm Other service. Highland, UT 84003 I have worked with Chris for many years in the purchase and sell of homes. He has high integrity and I have seen him do things that were best for his client even when it adversely impacted him. He knows the market well. We have jointly purchased and sold homes together and I can trust that he knows the pricing such that I know we are getting a good deal.

08/18/2014 - j k folsom Bought a Single Family home in 2014 for approximately $150K in Eagle Mountain, UT. Chris was incredible, and made a stressful situation much more bearable. Rather than being solely concerned with the profit that he would be making on the house, he was concerned about really taking care of us. He was very kind and patient, and very easy to get a hold of.

08/17/2015 - tessa peterson 13 Bought a Single Family home in 2015 in Orem, UT. My husband and I were first time home buyers this past summer. We expected our realtor to just show us some properties and answer a few questions. Chris went above and beyond this and was more like a family friend. He showed us many houses and for each one gave us suggestions on improvements we could make if we chose to buy it. He walked us through the daunting process of buying a home and helped us feel confident in our decisions. He was always quick to respond to our questions and emails and put in extra time to help us get our offer in promptly. He knows the valley well and helped us find the perfect home for our budget and situation. We love the house and the neighborhood. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

07/15/2014 - zuser20140608090105125 Sold a Single Family home in 2012 in Eagle Mountain, UT. We never met Chris in person but feel like we have known him for years. He helped us with our short sale by long distance and did an awesome job. He made the process painless as we were going through some rough times. He is so upbeat and confident, as he should be, his knowledge and expertise was amazing. We already recommended him to our daughter and son-in-law and will continue to recommend him. We feel like his cheerleaders LOL...Chris is amazing!!!

08/01/2014 - steve crockett Bought a Condo home in 2014 in American Fork, UT. Chris did a great job with helping us in our home purchase. He guided us in our search and knew the local area and market very well, ultimately leading us to an ideal house and one we could afford. Since this was our first home purchase, we needed some guidance on loan qualifying. Chris went the extra mile and referred us to a fantastic and approachable loan officer, who answered all our questions and guided us every step of the way. After our offer was accepted, we closed very quickly and had no surprises. We would easily recommend Chris Kemp to our friends and anyone seriously looking for a house.

11/26/2013 - davecrockett0 Sold a Single Family home in 2014 in Highland, UT. I have used Chris as a realtor for multiple years for both personal and investment properties and can confidently recommend him to anyone looking to buy/sell a home in the Utah market. Unlike other realtors, it's obvious that Chris spends a great deal of time researching and understanding local market trends and is able to utilize this with his clients. I've seen this on both the buying and selling side. He has been keen at finding opportunities when they arise and keeping value when timing was right. Definitely consider Chris when choosing options for a realtor.

09/30/2015 - boston watts5 Bought a home in 2015 in Provo, UT 84606. Chris Kemp is the best real estate agent we ever could have wished for. His knowledge of Utah Valley is better than anyone else I know. I was impressed with his ability to feel out good deals and pass on the options to us! In no time at all he had us looking at several places that we had a hard time deciding between. He was very good at helping us negotiate a good price for the condo we ended up in and we couldn't be happier. He made our first time buying a home feel like a piece of cake. I would highly recommend Chris Kemp to anyone.
