“Working with Crista was amazing. She is really easy to work with and there is no one that works harder.” 

Chris Lebans & Suzanne Anderson 

“What I liked best about working with Crista is that she really listened to what we were saying and didn’t push us to do anything we didn’t feel comfortable doing. Her ability to predict the outcome of our offers was excellent. Her knowledge and professionalism made us feel very confident. She knew her stuff.” 

Patricia Stephenson and John Donnelly 

We very much enjoyed working with Crista who we discovered to be very professional yet tempered with a great sense of fun! She has a high client satisfaction ethic and a no pressure sales manner. We appreciated most of all her honesty as well as her extremely prompt replies to our requests for information and showings of properties we were interested in seeing. In our changing market, that proved to be invaluable. In one word, we would describe Crista as “Dedicated”. 

John and Marian VanHuystee 

“The moment we met Crista to discuss our situation with respect to listing our property, she instantly displayed a market knowledge that assured us that she was able to deal with it. Her tenacity, honesty and availability are second to none, from what we have experienced. It took all of 14 days from listing our house to the sold sign going up. All the while, Crista managed to also negotiate the purchase of a condo unit on our terms. Her interest in her client(s) is indeed foremost. Prior to listing our property for sale, we suggested lowering the asking price from its original appraised value. Crista would not hear of it and asked us to trust her. We did, and settled at a very agreeable price. Overall, she is very thorough!” 

Bill and Rhonda Koch 

“In today’s fast paced, money grabbing real estate world, it is rare that one can say that a friendship developed as a result of doing real estate business. That has been the case with Crista. From the first encounter with her, when she called on us face to face, to inform us that our neighbour’s home had just sold, she was forth rite and engaging. After waiting for us to decide if the time was right, she took time to present to us how she conducted business and what she could and could not do for us. Before we decided to list, we wanted to get a feel for how she handled showings and whether she was high pressure in her sales approach. To the contrary! Crista was ever patient and best of all, knowledgeable with what we felt were critical areas of the business. Crista was able to view a home with us and, as a result of her knowledge with various trades, she was able to critically view a home with its needs and how much improvements would cost. As well, she was able to connect us with reputable trades people to do the work. From lawyer to moving company, to painter and floor layer, she was able to help steer us right in our new community. Crista was able to quickly “dial in” to what our needs were and connect us with appropriate properties. Even when deals collapsed and bumps in negotiations occurred, she calmly persevered for us. Crista has an “inner compass” of integrity that when things aren’t right, she does everything in her power to make them right, truly a rarity in today’s business world!”

“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Kim Holmes as your realtor. Our experience with Kim made purchasing our new home effortless. She possesses all of the attributes necessary to be an excellent agent. Her expertise and knowledge of the market in the Okanagan area enhanced our ability to locate exactly what we wanted in a home. Kim’s personal touches made each one of us feel thought of and considered in every way.”
Our kindest regards to you Kim,
