- Kristen is so very helpful, knowledgeable, patient, responsive and enjoyable to work with. I was new to Gainesville though I knew the general area I wanted to live in. After serious interest in a couple of houses did not work out, I returned home(out of state) for awhile while continuing to look at listings she sent. When I found “the perfect house” and asked Kristen to go out and take a look (fully trusting at this point that she well knew my likes and dislikes) she went over and beyond. She went out that morning, we had a detailed FaceTime visit of every inch of the house inside and out and when I knew it was the right house she quickly got together comps so that I could make an offer the next day(same time another offer was being made). Offer accepted and I had time to get to Gainesville during the inspection period and see the house up close and personal. I would never have made an offer, even with the inspection period as backup If a problem, if it were not for my total trust and confidence in Kristen. She continued to meet all needs and expectations throughout the remainder of the process; I cannot recommend her highly enough.blcarew
- I’ve been actively looking for a home in Gainesville since January of 2017, at first with another agent at another brokerage, who was well qualified but things just were not working out. What attracted me to the Thomas Group was their web site, which allowed superior search filters, such as “without” a pool, not just “with” one. Isn’t it odd that so many other sites missed this, since so many buyers want a home without a pool? The Thomas website makes it easy to do a simple search, but also offers fine-tuning for those who want it, such as with HOA, without HOA, horse property, adult community, community fitness room, community playground, community pool, gated community, golf community, tennis community, and many, many more. Reducing the “haystack” made it so much easier to identify legitimate prospects for me. Looking at other reviews here and the activity levels led me to work with Kristen, who turned out to be spectacular in so many ways. After arriving at Gainesville to look at the homes on my initial list from the web site, Kristen zeroed in on the kinds of homes I would like and found the one I bought, just what I wanted. Kristen is easy to get along with and pleasant, like almost all agents. Some people like me prefer an agent who will volunteer defects or plusses in homes as you tour, and Kristen was excellent in that respect, matching my assessment in areas where I was knowledgeable. Also not shy about saying “I don’t know” but will find out. Some buyers prefer to form their own opinions without distractions from an agent, and this was the mode Kristen started out with, but switched over at my request. Just be aware that buyers have different preferences about tour styles and let your agent know what you prefer. When time came to make an offer, Kristen did the best job I’ve seen in adjusting comparables to estimate a fair value for the home. The home inspection uncovered a sticking point, and Kristen thoroughly researched the possible remedies and really made it possible for me to buy the home. Kristen never rushed me or pressured me. This was my seventh home purchase and Kristen was far the most expert and helpful agent I have worked with. Highly, highly recommended.Joe Sullivan
- Kristen always went out of her way to help us with whatever we needed, WHENEVER we needed it. Moving is stressful, but throughout the entire process, she made every stage incredibly easy because of her knowledge and expertise.zuser20140623100046790
- She helped us sell our house within two weeks and then worked patiently with us as it took us 6 months to find the right house for us. She found time to show us any house we wanted to see. My wife and I always felt like a priority to her.hlepay1979
- Professional, knowledgeable. Easy to work with. Flexible and available most of the time. Highly recommended . Would definitely back to her service again. And sweet present on closing day;)).Zohar Levites
- Kristen went above and beyond to show us homes during the Thanksgiving break. She is always quick to respond and always willing to help in any way she can. Would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.ltlprncs18
- Kristen was a pleasure to work with! From the beginning she explained the process and listened to what was important to us. When she scheduled showings for us all the houses met the specifications we had discussed in the beginning making. In our home buying journey, we had a couple of major setbacks in houses we were ready to purchase that would have been very stressful, but because of her quick response and availability to explain each situation and help us find better solutions, I did not feel stressed. Thanks to Kristen we closed on our new home and we couldn’t be happier. I recommend Kristen to anyone that mentions they are interested in buying.costasisabel
- I am so grateful that I had Kristen by my side to guide me through buying my first home. With her expertise I was able to get the perfect home, in the exact neighborhood I desired within my price range. Kristen is an attentive, caring, professional, honest and extremely knowledgable realtor.haley m jackson
- Kristen Thompson first worked with us to buy our dream home. She was amazing to work with throughout the process and made everything so easy. She was extremely responsive and patient with all our questions. She then worked with us to sell our existing home. She went above and beyond and showed tremendous dedication to selling our home. She was innovative, resourceful, positive, and patient. We would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a realtor North Florida!swblades
- We met Kristen through my sister that was looking to sell her house and purchase another. We started looking at homes ourselves. She was very personable and was always willing to show us houses anytime. We decided to wait for a while because we were looking for something very specific that just wasn't in our price range and the area that we wanted to live. We decided to build a house in our current neighborhood. Kristen referred builders to us and gave us a lot of important information. After we starting in our building process we then listed our house on the market with Kristen. It sold in around the 90 day mark during the fall! Kristen is just an amazing realtor and person. I definitely recommend her if you are in the market to buy or sell.pattymac3
- Kristen was great! We were pretty naive about buying a home. We had very particular details in mind and it was not easy to find a place that fit our requests. Kristen really tried to get to know us in order to find the perfect home. We searched and searched for several months and she never gave up. When we finally did come across an apartment that we liked, Kristen gave us great advice on negotiations and things to be aware of. She is personable and professional. I will likely look for her again when we are ready to sell/buy in the future.twdubz
- Kristen was honest, knowledgeable, and efficient. She helped us close on our home in just one month! We were pleased with the entire process, and recommend her to everyone!dperryteach
- Kristen was amazing. She helped my wife and I through the process of buying our first home....and we closed in only 30 days! No question was silly to her and we always felt like we were her top priority even though we knew she was juggling several clients at once. The best part about Kristen is that she is completely accessible. If we had a question or concern(no matter the time of day/night) we knew we could text , call or even Facebook message her and she would always reply within a very short amount of time. This is something we greatly appreciated because in our professional lives we deal with so many people that don't respond to emails, texts and voicemails in a timely manner and it is so frustrating....we did not have that problem with Kristen....we did not need to babysit our agent! Another thing we greatly appreciated about Kristen was that she had a true interest in our happiness....not just closing the deal. There were times where we considered backing out of the deal (very glad we didn't!) but her support of our choices never wavered....even if it meant that her time and effort had potentially been wasted. We could easily imagine other less mature agents trying to push the deal even when they know their clients aren't happy about something....but this was not the case with Kristen...she supported us 100%. We wholeheartedly recommend Kristen Thompson for all your residential real estate needs.Psk Management
- Very helpful- found our home quickly and we still love it 2 1/2 years later! She also worked around our schedule meeting after work and weekends when necessary!Bought a Family home in 2013 in Newberry, FL.
- When my house rental lease had less than two months on it my wife and I needed to make a decision in a hurry. Due to a career opportunity falling through in another city we had to make a decision on whether to rent or buy. We were able to meet with Kristen and her husband to discuss the pros and cons of renting and buying considering we would be moving in three to five years. She had the patience to hear us out and then she laid it all out for us, it was clear that buying was our best option. We were super excited to be taking this step in our lives but we were in a definite time crunch considering we had to be out of our lease in less than two months! Kristen handled this in stride, we were very aggressive in our search for a home and she was able to match our drive, this made us a great team. Kristen made herself available whenever we needed her, alot of times we notified her the night before we wanted to see the home. Kristen showed excellent professionalism throughout this whole process and was able to find our new home with plenty of time to spare. We closed on our home with ten days to spare so we were extremely happy!! Kristen was able to guide us through this whole process keeping it fun and exciting, when negotiations got tough she kept us calm, she notified us about all of the things we need to know about after we moved into our home and she is still sending us info 9 months later. We were lucky to have Kristen as our realtor because now we have a place we can call home.jomonowski
- I listed a rental house I owned with Kristen Thompson. She was very knowledgeable and helpful during the entire time my house was on the market. When I met with her to discuss listing my house, she provided me with detailed information on the listing process. She recommended certain improvements I needed to make to sell the house quicker. She helped me find service providers to make the improvements. She was always quick to answer any question I had by phone or text. During the entire time my house was on the market she was very pleasant to deal with and helpful in all matters. I feel like she was a definite asset in selling my house. I would highly recommend her to others.Fred Mason
- Kristen made our home buying experience easy stress free and even fun :) not knowing the area very well she steered us towards great schools and a nice community to raise our children :) thanksBought a Single Family home in 2015 in Archer, FL.
- I would highly recommend Kristen! She was amazing helping me purchase my home. We always had great communication. I never felt like I was playing a waiting game, like I had before with previous realtors. When I asked to see a specific house she made it happen as soon as possible. Purchasing my first home was an amazing experience and I thank her tremendously. She dedicated a lot of time to make sure my home, my price, and my location was everything I wanted.morganlockhart89
- We went through 2 realtors before we met Kristen. The first realtor wasn't taking us to any houses that met our requests and the next was a realtor for a large agency, with great reviews, but ended up dropping us because she didn't have time to deal with a couple who's purchase price was so low. Kristen was very down to earth, hard working, and met our needs perfectly. We closed on our home on 8/07/15 and couldn't be happier. She had to have shown us nearly 30-40 homes (or so it seemed lol) and never complained about us basically wasting her time. She was always available on a moments notice which was great because that is what made our purchase happen. When it came to getting the contract together she was so helpful and quick. Being first time home buyers we didn't know what to expect or what we had the right of asking the seller for. I felt very comfortable asking her opinion knowing she wouldn't steer us wrong. She got the seller to approve everything on our request list, including a $850 roof repair! Even up until the morning of the closing she made everything happen when it didn't look like it would. We never felt like a bother and that was a great feeling because we knew how it felt to be told by someone that our dream home wasn't good enough for them to help us look for. We will definitely send her anyone we know who is looking to purchase a home. Thank you again Kristen for being so wonderful and we wish you great luck in your career!rlyons521
