Testimonials
Kristina helped us buy and sell a home. Buying a home with Kristina wasn’t a quick transaction—it was a three-year journey. Throughout that time, she never rushed us or pressured us into making a decision that wasn’t right. We are particular in our preferences, and she embraced that from day one. She patiently showed us home after home, listened carefully to what mattered most to us, and thoughtfully helped us evaluate every option. She remained a trusted partner while we waited for the right house to come along. When we finally found our home, Kristina was exceptional. She coordinated inspectors and contractors, connected us with the right professionals, and managed the countless moving pieces so we didn’t have to. There were multiple challenges throughout the transaction, but Kristina handled each one with professionalism, grace, and steady confidence. She absorbed the stress so we could stay focused on the excitement of buying our new home. What sets Kristina apart is that she truly listens. She’s thoughtful, thorough, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her clients. We always felt she was advocating for our best interests, never simply trying to close a deal. The greatest gift Kristina gave us was never making us feel like we were taking too long. She understood that we weren’t just buying a house—we were looking for the place we’d call home for the next chapter of our lives. Selling a home you’ve loved for years is emotional, and Kristina was exactly the advocate we needed. She developed a thoughtful marketing strategy that showcased our home’s best qualities, generated tremendous interest, and resulted in nine offers. Her preparation, attention to detail, and understanding of the market gave us confidence every step of the way. What impressed us most was how skillfully she navigated the offer and appraisal process. She managed multiple buyers, agents, and competing offers with professionalism and diplomacy while keeping us focused on our priorities—not just the highest number, but the offer that was strongest overall and most likely to get us successfully to the closing table. We never felt pressured. Instead, we felt informed, supported, and confident in every decision we made. Kristina is an outstanding communicator, an excellent strategist, and someone who genuinely cares about her clients. She is calm under pressure, incredibly responsive, and always one step ahead. Throughout the sale, we knew she was our advocate, and we couldn’t have asked for better representation. We would recommend Kristina without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Kristina was fabulous from the first step to the last. She saw us through the entire process and was extremely helpful and professional when some tricky negotiation points came up. Her business savvy and thorough, detailed knowledge of the real estate market in the area were what got us through a process that, due to some complexities that arose from the owner's side, might have been a nightmare without her but instead went through to get us exactly what we wanted. I don't think we could have done it without her! I would use her again in a heartbeat! Foggy bottom, Washington, DC

Kristina bent over backwards to sell our house with very little lead time and desired quick closing date. She's a total pro who understands the local market and exactly what needs to happen to get to the closing table. Every text message and phone call was returned promptly and politely. Outstanding organizational skills and timeline management. There's a reason so many of our friends recommended her. Frankly, I'm the kind of person who whines and moans about paying Realtors, but not only did she earn every penny of her commission, if we move back to Essex she's the only person we're calling.

Deciding to sell my first home after 14 years was a bittersweet experience for me. Working with Kristina Quinones was the best decision I could have made! She made the entire process seamless. She is honest, confident, and knowledgeable and she kept me informed every step of the way and she did it with a smile and a positive attitude. Her easy-going demeanor and positivity combat any part of the process that may feel overwhelming. When we first connected, she outlined a detailed plan of dates and projections and we hit every part of the process on her predicted schedule and without a snag. I know not all real estate transactions go as smoothly as mine did, so I feel truly blessed for having had Kristina by my side. When I first decided to list my home in mid-April, understanding the current state of the market, she worked quickly and efficiently to line up the photographer, produce the proper marketing materials for the "coming soon" and schedule the open house (photos 4/19, coming soon 4/20, open house 4/23, under contract by 4/25 and close by 6/17) and that is exactly how it worked! I needed to stay in my house until my daughter finished school mid-June, so we made sure to include that in the agreement and thankfully that also worked for the buyers. Kristina was in touch with me daily, even if it was just to check in to see how I was feeling or if I needed anything; if there was anything she could do. She also paid very close attention to making as minimal of an impact to me and my daughters schedule, so she made all the arrangements for the open house and inspections at a time that worked best for us. Those attention to details are important as it makes what could be a very stressful process, a peaceful one. I will recommend Kristina to anyone who is looking for a realtor who is honest, genuine, and smart with good gut instincts to be by their side. Chester, CT

Kristina was marvelous from beginning to end of our purchase. We worked with her remotely from our home in the midwest to buy a house in CT. She accommodated us whenever needed, any time of day or day, took us on virtual tours, helped with financing and loan information and contacts, and has turned into a friend not just a real estate agent! I cannot recommend her highly enough. Essex, CT

Testimonials
Kristina is fantastic! As we looked at homes, she quickly understood what and where we wanted to buy so that we weren’t wasting energy looking at houses that weren’t going to meet our criteria. Because we were doing a lot of our looking from out of state, she did a great job of dealing with various technologies, including virtual tours that helped us identify what turned out to be our dream house. She did a great job of advising us during the initial contract negotiations - and during the inspections and fine tuning. Her knowledge of local contractors and tradespeople meant that we were able to quickly bring in people who could help us resolve issues as they arose. The result was significant savings that we are using to improve our new home. Following the closing, she has continued to provide assistance and advice that have made our transition much, much smoother. Her quick response, professionalism and personal style made the long-distance purchase not only a success, but a pleasure. We have really enjoyed working with her and look forward to having her as a neighbor. Highly recommended. Keith Michael Fiels - Essex, Ct
