Kristen Gentry

“Kristen did an OUTSTANDING job finding us the perfect lot to build our beach house. Her knowledge of the area was amazing. All we had to do was mention a listing and she would know exactly the one we were talking about and then would tell us about the neighborhood and other homes for sale near it. She is an absolute delight to work with and her response time was always immediate. When it came to closing on our purchase, we were blown away on how protective she was over our interest. She had the answer to every question we asked. Her display of commitment is unparalleled. She worked with us for over four years, never giving up or complaining. She genuinely wanted us to have our dream. With no reservations and with huge enthusiasm, we would recommend her for her professionalism, heart, and how she always goes above and beyond.”

“Kristen was outstanding. She has a thorough understanding of the market, and was particularly helpful in predicting the proper time to list and sell our property. She was patient working with us through one cycle and instrumental in our decision to hold off for a better time to sell. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.”

“It can't be overstated how wonderful it was to work with Kristen. In a market as tough as this one - San Luis Obispo with little to no inventory - plus, the search for a very specific type of property, Kristen was patient, caring, and diligent. She never gave up on us. Even when we wanted to view properties, with her knowing they may not be perfect (or likely wouldn't work but hoped beyond hope it just might), Kristen took time out of her day anyway to satisfy our curiosity. She is a tremendous agent but more, she is a wonderful, kind-hearted person who made our mission to find the perfect home her mission, and she did it with a professional and personal compassion we couldn't be more appreciative of. Want an agent who cares? Kristen Gentry is who you want!”

“Kristen is AMAZING. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the home-buying process guidelines and nuances. More than once she was able to help hone our contract because of her deep knowledge of the area. Her service was above and beyond, including the detailed schedule of events she provided at the beginning of the process, friendly reminders of important timelines, and assistance on some VERY in-depth diligence that had us reviewing the sellers' budget sheets together. I cant recommend Kristen enough!”

“Kristen was a real asset in our home buying experience. From the beginning to the final transaction and even beyond she represented our interests in a professional and skillful manner. She was always joyful, bright and a pleasure to communicate with on an almost daily basis keeping us informed while staying focused and attentive to the tiniest of details. We would highly recommend her to everyone!”

“If you're searching for an agent to navigate the incredibly complicated and often emotional experience of selling your home and buying a new one, put this review down and call Kristen Gentry with Richardson Sotheby?s International Realty. Seriously call her now, she's the best of the best. 805.441.4618 Beyond her expertise and professionalism, Kristen was amicable, kind and fun throughout our home buying process. She answered all our questions with in-depth explanations, ensuring we fully understood what we were doing and why it was necessary (or not!). She was there to guide us through the entire process and from our first meeting to the close of Escrow was clear, understanding and unflappable. She really gets what the process is like for buyers and sellers and we were confident in all our choices because of her. 5 stars are not enough”

“I had to sell my father's house while living over a thousand miles away. Fortunately, I was referred to Kristen. Her guidance and management throughout the process made a complicated situation easy. Her professionalism and communication was top notch. I highly recommend Kristen.”

“I just spent a week in SLO looking for a place to live and Kristen took me round and showed me the ropes. In all regards she was excellent. Her knowledge of the area and the inventory was terrific. Her follow up and punctuality were also outstanding. She was all I could ask for in a real estate broker.”

“We first met Kristen in the fall of 2021 whose firm was highly recommended by business leaders on the central coast. We were researching a 1031 exchange purchase on investment property in the San Luis Obispo area. At our first meeting we were impressed with her professionalism and extensive knowledge of the real estate market in the area. It was evident that that we had the best agent for us. Due to market timing and the press of converting two exchange properties, as diligently as Kristen worked to locate us a property to purchase; it just wasn?t in the cards for us at that time. It was not the fault of Kristen?s for trying for sure. Due to timing and conditions, we moved forward with the purchase of a property outside the area. We told Kristen at the time; we would be back. In the spring of this year (2023), we reached backout to Kristen to assist us in identifying a replacement property in the San Luis Obispo and surrounding area. We met, went over the goals and she was off and running. There was again no doubt in our mind that again, Kristen was the right agent for us given her experience and insights into the local market. With Kristen?s help, we quickly identified a suitable exchange property which met our criteria. The negotiations and eventual closing in August went smoothly thanks to Kristen?s diligence and follow through. Even after the close, she continues to provide recommendations for local highly experienced resources in the area which might be helpful for us with the property. We highly recommend Kristen Gentry if you are looking to purchase property in the San Luis Obispo region or surrounding areas. You will not be disappointed. Tim & Lucy”
