"I hired Kris to handle the disposition of a partnership asset (residential home). Our group lives outside of Utah and we needed a business savvy, smart Realtor who understood the special considerations relative to us being a landlord by means of lending (we had to take the property back). This presented special challenges that Kris had to help us navigate, which he did, effortlessly and with diligence. Kris is not your average agent. As a person who owns a large residential brokerage in Arizona with HUNDREDS of agents within it, I’ve seen my share of good agents. Kris was best in class. He cared for our transaction like it was his own. His communication style was easy going, but professional, but most importantly, was proactive and timely. I can’t say enough good things about Kris and his team, but if I had to sum it up succinctly, it would be World class service delivered."
