Kris Whitby

"Kris has been great! We weren’t from the area at all and she walked us through every process, obstacle, contractor, insurance, loan.... she’s the best and will go the extra mile to make sure you get exactly what you want and need!"

"My wife and I met Kris early on in our house search. She was a seller's agent at an open house that we attended when we were still in the "just looking" phase. After a brief conversation at the open house, she suggested we get coffee to talk more about what we were looking for. That coffee turned into an hour-and-a-half long meeting that was comfortable, conversational, and low-pressure. Kris was clearly familiar with the area, confidently described what the house hunting and purchasing process would look like, and was thorough in her answers to questions from us, a pair of first time home buyers. By the end of that first meeting we felt that she was a great fit for us, and we decided to move forward with her as our buyer's agent.

Our house hunting process took about a month, and in that time we went from saying "we're open to just about anything, anywhere in the city, within this budget", to "we want a house with X features in Y neighborhoods". That transformation was 100% due to Kris' ability to observe and listen to what we were saying (including what we were REALLY saying) and extract the salient characteristics of what we were actually looking for. We originally thought that we were "easygoing" but in retrospect we were really more "undecided". Kris helped us narrow our search and accelerate the process until we found a house we liked.

Once we found "the one", Kris' experience in home inspection and walk throughs was again apparent, as she asked all the questions that we didn't even know to ask. She made herself available as a sounding board for any and all inquiries, no matter how silly we thought they were. She was with us every step of the way during the purchasing process, even on the day of signing the final documents. We're so happy that we met Kris and were able to develop a relationship with her, and we'd enthusiastically recommend her services to anybody who is also looking to buy a new home."

"Kris Whitby was wonderful to work with and so supportive during the whole process as first time home buyers. Visiting houses with Kris was so amazingly helpful and easy! Kris had a great sense of humor and was very honest about what she thought the pros and cons of each house were. She helped us learn what to look for and she even helped us work through some tricky information we found out during the inspection and how to negotiate with the sellers.

Kris was so well organized and proactive but it always felt comfortable and she helped us feel calm during even the most stressful parts of the process. We both really appreciated that she took the time to answer all our questions and to always explain what would happen next.

I strongly encourage you to meet Kris - I know you will quickly see why she has so many great reviews and happy clients! I know we are two of them!"

"Kris is great at what she does. She met with us prior to the house hunting process to get to know us on personal level and find out what we were really looking for in a home loan. She paid attention to the minor details of what we were looking for as first time home buyers. Knowing that we are first time home buyers she walked us through every process and explained in detail what we were doing and where we are with the process. Kris took the time to show us to many houses and was available at any time we needed to see a house. When we did find the perfect house she was very helpful in negotiating with the listing agent and gave us good advice on how to proceed and what to be looking for. Her knowledge of homes and what to look for when viewing or visiting a home was very valuable. I would recommend her to any friend or family member 1000 times over looking to buy a home."

"Kris Whitby was an immense help in our home buying process! I loved how responsive she was in answering emails and phone calls! She got right down to business and truly listened to what it is we needed and how to go about getting it! We were looking from Washington and we didn’t have much time to look when we came to Oregon to look at houses. We spent time looking at several homes over a weekend (and kris even had snacks in her car to help curb our hunger while we looked) We were able to find the most beautiful home in one weekend! She helped us get to work right away with paperwork to get the process going so we could get the home we wanted! When she called us the next day to say our offer was accepted we were behond thrilled!! In the next coming weeks Kris was such a huge help getting all our documents organized and deadlines made known. She even did our home inspection walk through too since we were in a different state with 2 small children! Kris also helped us deal with some furniture negotiating from the previous owners. She truly went above and beyond to make the process seamless and stress free! When we got to our new home she had a yummy basket of goodies waiting for us too! She also has called us to check in since the move! I highly recommend Kris to anyone looking for a home! Thank you Kris for helping my family find the perfect home!"
