  • " Debbie is hands-down the best Real estate agent I have ever had. She worked tirelessly to find us our dream home. She cared about every single detail and came through for us on every stage of this process. After finding the perfect house for us, she patiently guided us on how to prepare our house for putting it on the market Debbie knows exactly what buyers are looking for and got our house sold quickly so we could get to our dream house as quickly as possible. Anytime I hIt A snare, Debbie was there to help me take care of it.

  • " Bill was the listing agent for my relatives who needed to leave their home of fifty years and move to assisted living. It was a very difficult transition but Bill took care of everything regarding the sale of the house. He even went to the store to purchase smoke/carbon monoxide detectors when more needed to be installed! The entire process from listing to sale took place via phone, text or email because no one in the family lived nearby. There was never a time that Bill was not available to answer questions and offer encouragement. We will be forever grateful! " - Dorothy Jensen

  • " I would definitely recommend Sandy Criscione as a real estate agent. Sandy was very proactive from the beginning. As a matter of fact, before we even started looking at properties, she helped me get my earnest money back from a previous deal that fell through.

    I would describe Sandy as hardworking and reliable. As a result, we looked at a lot of places in a short period of time. And she helped us to negotiate a price that was far lower than what I might have offered.

    This was a relocation, so there were several little complications along the way, but Sandy was there even after closing to help us sort out lingering issues. Sandy was recommended to me, and I would like to recommend her to you! " - Kevin and Arian Branigan @ 03/11/2021 04:17

  • " Being a first time home buyer was extremely scary and nerve racking. I had no idea how to go about anything or even where to start. I contacted Joey to assist me in not only the home buying process but finding the perfect home for me. Joey went above and beyond my expectations and found the most perfect home and location for myself. All of a sudden this scary first time home buying process became fun, exciting, and stress free and that’s all thanks to Joey. Joey stayed engaged the whole time with updates almost daily and was extremely thorough while walking me through the whole process. I still cannot thank Joey enough for getting me into my dream home!

  • " I highly recommend CRIS Realty. We interviewed several Real estate agents to help us sell and purchase a new home in Frankfort. We chose CRIS based on a friend’s recommendation and on their market knowledge of the area. It didn’t hurt that it's a locally owned company in Frankfort. On the sale side CRIS had our home under contract for over asking price with multiple offers in just a few days. They did a brilliant job of marketing. It seemed it was advertised everywhere. Professional photos, newspaper ad, all the Real Estate websites, Social Media, etc. They even helped with Staging advise before it was professionally photographed. It was a record sale price for our neighborhood. On the buy side we had some strict requirements and were having a hard time finding what we were looking for. CRIS called several of the top agents in the area and found a home that was already under contract, but we were able to bump it because of a sale contingency. Our appraisal came in much higher than the purchase price so we already have good equity in our new home. CRIS picked up the phone every time we had a question. CRIS had great recommendations for mortgage lenders, home inspectors, and movers. If you are considering buying or selling don’t waste your time interviewing other agents just call CRIS.
