Starting an out-of-state home search can be a daunting task. Once we started our on-line home search, prior to heading out to the Phoenix area in person, we were contacted by a slew of agents. Kristi emerged as the obvious choice as she offers the perfect balance of keeping in touch and being  informative, without being overwhelming or aggressive as some of the other agents were. Kristi made the buying process simple and fun, with her vast knowledge of the area and the contract process itself. Once we found our dream home and made our offer, we had to leave to go back home, but we knew we left the process in Kristi's capable hands. She kept us informed every step of the way. Some of the words we would use to describe Kristi would be: knowledgeable, capable, energetic, positive, great communicator (so very important with a out-of-state contract process) trustworthy, great listener and always on time!

We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor! Kristi exceeded every expectation! She kept all the things we were looking for at the forefront of our search! She found homes that were better for us than we could have found for ourselves and constantly surprised us with her knowledge of the market! Moving from out of town it was reassuring to have such an ally, in an incredibly volatile market! Five stars and beyond! Highly recommend!

As a first time homebuyers, the process is very tedious and confusing, but Kristi gracefully lead us through and helped us land our dream home! I can’t recommend her enough! A realtor who truly fights for you!

'She is one of the best as my wife and I working with her closely to buy a house that we like. She is really helpful and very responsive. More than all these work-related skills, she is so connected and truly cares about people. She treated us as friends (as we are friends now :) ) and not only clients.'

When we needed to relocate from the East Coast to the Phoenix area for work, Kristi was an invaluable resource to us! We were under a tight timeline and needed to find a house in just 3 days. Kristi spent those three days with us shuttling us around the area while we viewed what felt like hundreds of homes. Not really… but it was a lot. What should have been a very stressful 3 days were actually some of the most fun days we’ve had in a long time – all because of Kristi. She provides the right balance of business and personality to keep the process moving and finding us our perfect home, perfect neighborhood, and perfect school for our children.After the initial 3 days of house hunting, she successfully negotiated a great deal on our new home. Throughout the time we were under contract, Kristi was always available and skillfully chased down every issue that came up – and boy did we have some issues come up! In the end, we have now settled into our new home and looking forward to enjoying our new space for years to come. We would happily recommend Kristi to anyone we know that is need of a high caliber real estate agent.

I worked with Kristi Newman, who was referred to me by friends that relocated to Phoenix from Indiana several years ago. From the first conversation with Kristi, she was focused and vigilant on finding properties that were great matches for my list of priorities. When I found a property that I wanted to place an offer for, Kristi investigated the activity on the property and worked productively with the Seller's agent to best inform the offer.

I took Kristi's advice on how to structure the offer on the property, which was accepted by the Seller without a counter. From there, Kristi facilitated everything on my behalf all the way to closure, even referring me to a mortgage broker that was fantastic to work with. Kristi also referred me to a great Seller's agent for the sale of my home in Indiana, which sold in 13 days. I could not ask for a better/smoother experience, and highly recommend Kristi to anyone looking to buy/sell a home with an agent that is passionate about the client experience. 6 stars.
