Testimonials

Here's what other Buyers and Sellers had to say about working with me:

"When it was time to sell our house, our mantra was, "Price it right and get it sold." Kristy B. showed us almost a dozen comparable properties that had sold within the past few months in our town, and we felt assured the price she suggested was the "magic number" that would bring a buyer and make us a nice profit, without letting our house languish on the market. Four days after listing our house for sale, we had an offer above our asking price, and knew we'd made the right choice in trusting Kristy's expertise. She really knows her stuff! Kristy gave us excellent advice about cosmetic updates to our house that would attract buyers, including paint colors, furniture placement, and even smooth jazz playing in the background at our showings. When it came time to take the all-important photographs, Kristy and her team rearranged furniture and placed props such as table settings and plants which made our house look welcoming, inviting, spacious, and attractive to buyers. Our house looked dynamite online and I feel sure that's what packed our first open house, even on a holiday weekend. With a lot of elbow grease and just a little money, our house was staged perfectly for a buyer to imagine herself "at home" there."

"Kristy helped us negotiate a great price on a wonderful house, with a perfect combination of assertiveness and professionalism. We had complete confidence in letting her speak on our behalf as we moved through the process of buying our new home. In the end, we got exactly what we wanted at the best price we could negotiate, and we couldn't have done it without Kristy's advice and guidance."

"Working with Kristy was an amazing experience. As a first time home-buyer I was very nervous to work with an agent who I did not know for fear of being taken advantage of. From my first meeting with Kristy, I had nothing but absolute trust for our working relationship. Instead of just showing me properties, she sat down with me to discover the features I was looking for in my condo and then assembling a list of properties for me to see. She had my best interest in mind at all times during the process. I would recommend Kristy to anyone that I know who is looking to purchase or sell a condo or house because I know she would do her very best to help them get the home of their dreams. Thank you Kristy for making the process so easy."

"I just wanted to send a separate thank you for taking us out yesterday. I know we already did thank you, but I just wanted to reiterate it. You have got to be sick of us by now, and I'm sad that the offers we have put in didn't work out, but just wanted to express our gratitude to you. You have just been so awesome during this entire process I almost want to make a website kristybisthebest.com and post ads everywhere. ha!"

“Kristy took the time to understand our real goals of house selling - i.e price vs time on market. With her knowledge of marketing houses effectively, she then went through the house room by room and made suggestions on decor, re-arranging furniture, minor cosmetic work that should be done. All of which are factors on buyers when they walk the house. It was hard work getting through the list, but I have no doubt without this expertise the house would have been on the market for far longer. Kristy sold our house in 7 days in this economy. Says a lot.”

"We had been on a roller coaster trying to sell our house : we first tried to sell on our own, then went with a real estate agent who wasn't really doing more than what we were doing - it had been 5 months of this. We talked to Kristy, and she was very optimistic that she could sell our house in a short period of time. And she was right, it took 5 days from the time she put the listing on MLS and we received an offer, and at asking price ! I highly recommend her !”

“I recommend Kristy Bonaventura as a realtor, especially for young, first-time homebuyers. Kristy had great resources available for me to learn the process of buying real estate, understand my budget, and answer all of my questions. Searching for a home for the first time is a very overwhelming experience, but Kristy was patient when I needed time to think and she was also right there onboard when I wanted to see several properties. Kristy is knowledgeable, conscientious, and uses the advancement in technology to her advantage. As a young client, I was able to easily communicate with Kristy via emails, texting, and even social networking sites while learning great tips from her blog. Her guidance was helpful and allowed me to make decisions myself. She responded to millions of questions thoroughly and efficiently. Even though I decided to not purchase at this time, Kristy has kept me informed through the entire process without patronizing me and has remained very attentive.”

“Immediately after meeting Kristy, we knew she was the right agent for us. She was positively great. She understood our needs and concerns. She continually kept us posted day to day on new listings and was always available to answer our calls.
We found our first home less than six weeks after meeting her in a fantastic neighborhood in Wakefield. We had a great first time home buying experience and Kristy really helped guide us through it.”

“Kristy has great expertise in the real estate market and more importantly she is results driven. She was able to execute our sale very quickly by providing valuable tips (creatively presenting our house) and candid feedback (explaining where to focus our efforts). Most notably, Kristy was very personable and professional throughout the entire process.”

“Kristy did a great job helping us find the right house for our family. She was very patient, as we struggled with our many options, and was a lot of help every step of the way. Although we were in the area during the shopping phase, we transacted much of the actual sale remotely, and Kristy never missed a beat.”

“Kristy is very organized, has an eye for detail, is marketing and technology-savvy, and delivers a high level of customer service to her clients. When we found a new house we wanted to buy, we needed to quickly sell our existing home. Kristy spent a lot of time with us on very short notice getting the house ready for buyers, taking photos, accenting its best features, helping us stage the property, etc. She organized a very successful and well attended open house that directly led to the offer we accepted. Kristy was always available by phone, email, or in person when needed. She was and has remained very attentive to us as customers. She brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm to our transactions. We recommend her real estate services to other people considering buying or selling a home.”

“Kristy isn't afraid of hard-work and goes the extra mile to market properties for her clients - very creatively. Her background in marketing is a huge asset to her sellers as she produces amazing web commercials and knows how to add the extra "buzz" to a property to draw more attention by the way she positions it on the market and her property descriptions get notice. She understands the value of great photos and how to leverage that to the benefit of her client. She knows her market and can guide buyers to the great opportunities that are out there during these turbulent times. RE/MAX Heritage is proud of the way Kristy's works for her clients.”

To Whom It May Concern:
It is with great pleasure that we write this letter to express our complete gratitude with the integrity and professionalism displayed by Kristy Bonaventura.
Our goal, when hiring Kristy was to sell our home and purchase a new and comparable home in a different town with a better school system. With five children and a home that was built specifically for our family and lifestyle, this was no easy task. Throughout the entire process Kristy was professional, conscientious, and motivated. We always felt as though we were her only client.
Initially we were uncertain of the asking price on our property, but Kristy diligently checked multiple sources to verify that our pricing was accurate and met my goal of selling the house within a certain timeframe. Consequently, she sold it at the first open house and for exactly what we wanted.
While helping us find our new home, she did not try to sell us every home we looked at, as some realtors do. We liked the way she let the home sell itself and never tried to push us into making an offer. We are grateful for her honesty and felt as though she was truly looking out for our best interests. We were particularly impressed when she presented our offer directly to the seller on our behalf.
We highly recommend Kristy’s services for anyone requiring assistance in buying or selling a home and would be delighted to answer any specific questions regarding her performance.
