We chose Kristen because of her 5 star reviews when searching for a real estate agent for the sale of our property. We were not disappointed. The sale was complicated and lengthy, none of which was Kristen’s fault. Out of everyone involved, Kristen was the best in keeping all parties in the loop. She was always available within a short period of time even while experiencing a personal trauma. She was professional, attentive and caring. My husband and I would contract with her again, without hesitation.

Kristen Spellman is fantastic!! We relocated out of state, so she had to help us pick an area and a home. She listened to us, and understood our goals and wants. Kristen drove across Oregon and Washington virtually showing us properties and quickly adjusted to fine tune our search. She helped us make informed decisions. Her knowledge in this space is significant. We couldn't have accomplished our goals with a more perfect property without her. Plus, she works with a great team and I would recommend her to our family and friends without hesitation.

Kristen is a wealth of information. Incredibly genuine, with facts from personal experience she tells you how to get the best deal and make it worth it. She is incredibly prepared for the showings telling you everything there is to know about a home and if she doesn’t know it she will find out. She has incredible insight into how to check a home prior to purchase and the inspection process once you put your offer in. Cannot recommend her more, working with her has been really heartwarming!

Kristen is committed to the professional standards of real estate brokerage. I was impressed that when our home search took us out of the area in which she is familiar, she made sure to identify and interview other real estate agents in those outside markets to ensure we were in the hands of someone meeting Kristen's own standards.

All I can say is I had to fire my realtor before I was referred to Kristen for feeling unsupported and alone in the process. Kristen stepped right up, with confidence and helped clean up the mess and gave us a smooth process from there on out!! We had it on the market and sold it so fast, I didn’t have time to worry about anything!!!🤣 She really knows the business, and I felt a huge relief having her on my side!!!

O boy where do I even start...our journey with Kristen started several months ago when my husband and I wanted to purchase a new home...Now being a young couple with not very good credit we never thought that we would be able to purchase this nice home that Kristen showed us...but dang can this girl work some magic!!!! We had so many bumps in the road, hoops to jump thru, dead ends, and curve balls thrown at us that I was ready to throw the towel in and walk away but Kristen kept reassuring my husband that she can make this happen for us and to not allow me to give up...so I hung on by a thread! needless to say a few months down the road and many late nights for Kristen and time away from her family (which we appreciate very much) my wonderful family and I are now living our new beautiful home and we owe it all to Kristen! She is not only an amazing realtor but she became and family friend, as I've told her many times she is stuck with us for life... Thank you very much Kristen for helping me and my family better our lives and future! much love the Bugg family

We we're searching for a home as our home was sold and closing soon. Kristen was referred to us because our original agent didn't have the availability to show us homes. Kristen was a great fit for us because of her availability and vast knowledge in real estate. She showed us all the homes we had asked to see even though they covered many miles. When we finally found the home we wanted to make an offer on Kristen was very spot on in letting us know what the best offer for us to present was.

As we went through the usual ups and downs that come with selling and buying a home, Kristen was a strong and assuring presence letting us know we could relax and she was going to get us through this process. We would highly recommend Kristen to anyone wanting to sell or purchase a home. Her professionalism and knowledge are outstanding and her calming attitude really helped us during all the twists and turns that come with purchasing a home. We felt very lucky and blessed to have such a great representative on our side on the purchase of our new home.

My husband lives in another country, so we appreciate Kirsten's responsiveness and her flexibility in scheduling a Zoom appointment we could all be present (and fully awake) for. I especially appreciate that when Kirsten discussed specifics in mortgage, she was careful to make it very clear that mortgage terms can vary across institutions and that we should be sure to look into the specific terms of any mortgage, and that she was only giving us a general overview as an example. As a first-time homebuyer, it really helped me feel confident and secure! She has been easy to contact, responds quickly, and explained terms we were unfamiliar with (like "off-city," which isn't a phrase my husband's country uses).
