"I am happy to provide a reference for Kristen Palmer as she is a stellar real estate agent. I met Kristen at an open house in March 2019 and she patiently worked with me until I found the home I wanted to buy in October of 2020. She made sure I had my ducks in a row with my lender and was efficient in getting all the paperwork needed to the right people at the right time. All inspections were set up in record speed and the process couldn’t have moved more smoothly. She is a knowledgeable and fun person to spend time with and I always enjoyed our outings together. She is not judgmental and I never felt badly about saying no to a place that did check many of my boxes but wasn’t quite right. Her partner, John Brannan, also worked closely with us during the close of my new home and getting my former home ready for sale and marketed. He is a wealth of information on the workings of a home, repairs needed and both Kristen and John have many good contacts and resources to help. Both Kristen and John were such kind and delightful people to work with during a stressful time (bought and sold in the same month during the pandemic). They bent over backwards to make sure everything stayed on track with a calm demeanor and a true caring of what was best for me. I highly recommend them both."

"Buying your first home is scary enough, but buying your first home in the middle of a global pandemic? Even more stressful. We felt so lucky to have Kristen as our agent throughout our home-buying process. She was super patient as we learned the ins-and-outs of buying our first home— starting with helping us figure out what was most important to us in a house, then walking us through offer strategy and negotiations, inspections, and eventually helping us land our first home here in Marin. We had the bad luck of having two homes fall through because of seller contingencies, and as heartbreaking as that was at the time, I know it would have been so much worse if we didn’t have Kristen there to guide us through it. And it all worked out, because now we’ve ended up in a home that’s perfect for us! I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a house in Marin."
