I chose Kris because she has a proven track record of helping friends sell their homes and buy their new homes. Kris provided clear guidance to prepare us for selling. Her input and suggestions helped us get an offer that was above the listing price. She used her knowledge and expertise of our neighborhood to provide valuable information so that it was appropriately appraised. Her level of communication with all parties involved was excellent. While in the process of listing our home, Kris helped us buy our new condo and the entire transaction was efficiently and expertly completed, so we could focus on the sale of our home. I highly recommend Kris Whitby for your property buying and selling needs.

Many thanks to Kris for helping us find and purchase our North Portland Charmer! We would recommend Kris to anyone! As first-time home buyers, we were so overwhelmed and were fortunate to have met Kris who was so committed to us in every step of the process. She was a great educator and was patient in answering our million questions- Immediate responsiveness via phone, email, and text! We definitely feel that Kris went above and beyond for us- we were very pleased with the outcome! Thanks again, Kris!

Kris was referred to us by our neighbors and we are so glad she was! From our initial consult/meeting with her she took high regard to small details and developed a tailored plan for our home that we felt very confident moving forward. Our house sold in 4 days, over asking, and we were thrilled with how all marketing material and work that went in to the home turned out. Kris even circled back to the house a few times for appointments after we moved to make sure it was ready for the new owners. We are grateful to have worked with Kris. She is attentive to details, very professional, and gave amazing feedback on how to get our home show ready. We would absolutely work with Kris again if we lived in the same state! All in all - highly recommend her!

"In one of the most challenging housing markets on record, my husband and I recently completed an interstate home purchase with Kris Whitby that took over a year and a half from start to finish. Kris never missed a beat, keeping in constant communication, answering even the smallest questions in a timely manner, and pounding the pavement with us over and over again until we found a property that matched with our criteria – and scored the winning bid over 16 other buyers! Kris is exceedingly knowledgeable, attentive, personable, and skillfully ambitious. Throughout this long, arduous journey, she showed incredible patience and always put our best interests first. Even beyond our closing date, she has continued to support us as we transition to our new community and prepare our home for the move. She is a dedicated professional, and we could not have asked for a better experience overall."

"Kris was fantastic from start to finish on the home buying process. As a first time home buyer, she walked me through the whole process and made it very smooth and easy. When viewing homes, she had great timing on the scheduling and I got to see a lot of houses in just a few days. In the end, I bought a house I would not have looked at if not for her. During the closing process, she stayed in close communication and made sure everything went smoothly. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend Kris."
