Although we had been friends for years, once we decided to work together on the purchase of my property in Palm Desert, Kristina became all business! She worked hard on my behalf from day one, and after she understood clearly what I was looking for, she had potential properties lined up for me to see as soon as I could get out there. I am a firefighter for Los Angeles County, and during the Fall of 2017, my schedule was erratic due to the many wildfires and emergency calls to duty that caused us to have to cancel showings. Once we identified the property I wanted to make an offer to purchase, we worked together in detail to discuss our offer strategy, and what my priorities were as well as what my bottom line was. We got the offer accepted, opened escrow, and I got freaked out by the many contingencies, EMD, etc., and how I would manage with my erratic work schedule. Kristina stayed righ…
Although we had been friends for years, once we decided to work together on the purchase of my property in Palm Desert, Kristina became all business! She worked hard on my behalf from day one, and after she understood clearly what I was looking for, she had potential properties lined up for me to see as soon as I could get out there. I am a firefighter for Los Angeles County, and during the Fall of 2017, my schedule was erratic due to the many wildfires and emergency calls to duty that caused us to have to cancel showings. Once we identified the property I wanted to make an offer to purchase, we worked together in detail to discuss our offer strategy, and what my priorities were as well as what my bottom line was. We got the offer accepted, opened escrow, and I got freaked out by the many contingencies, EMD, etc., and how I would manage with my erratic work schedule. Kristina stayed right on top of the transaction, all the contingencies, the inspections, and requests for repair, getting quotes for insurance, everything that came up in escrow – Kristina proactively guided me through the process. We won some key items of negotiation, and we closed the deal successfully. I am a very happy homeowner today thanks to Kristina’s strong experience and her ability to get the job done.

Kristina helped my husband and me purchase our first home in Altadena, and she was absolutely amazing to work with! She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and responsive which made the normally stressful home-buying process for a Type A personality very straightforward and easy. Never did an email, phone call, or text go unanswered, and she always made herself available as we needed. During the general inspection process, she urged us to get a sewer inspection specialist that we otherwise might have foregone, and ultimately got the Seller to make expensive reparations. She always acted in our best interest, and that truly sets her apart from the rest. Kristina knows the ins and outs of home-buying, and I highly recommend working with her. She is dedicated, organized, and timely, and will be your greatest advocate. I cannot speak highly enough of Kristina!
We have worked with a fair number of agents over the years and we could not have found a more friendly and knowledgeable professional than Kristina. This may be the strongest seller's market of our lifetime and we needed all of her market insight and experience to get us the new home we wanted without paying a price that we would soon come to regret. We had downsized from a large suburban home to a condo rental for a few years. After the rental period confirmed that the right condo would suit our needs, we were eager to find and purchase it and Kristina’s skills and market knowledge were essential to finding the best options and more importantly bringing the purchase to a comfortable and successful conclusion.
Even though I am new to the whole home buying process, Kristina is helping me so much to find my first home. I would recommend her to anyone. If you are looking for a realtor in this part of California, go with Ms. Nichols. I am a shy man by nature, it is hard for me to ask questions out of fear of sounding stupid. But whenever I ask Kristina a question, she explains clearly and makes it a learning experience for us both. For instance, one time I asked her the difference between a buyer's agent and a listing agent, she said “ the buyer's agent represents the one buying a home, and the seller's agent represents the one selling a home”. I love working with her, and I expect to have a friend for a lifetime.
Kristina is a master negotiator who strives to provide her clients with the highest level of professionalism in L.A. Real Estate. She works tirelessly to make deals happen for her clients. She looks forward to putting her talents to work for you.
