After working with two other Business Brokers concerning the sale of my business, I was referred to Kristy Thornton and immediately knew she was the right person, to not only complete my sale, but the right person to guide me...

Kristy, you have been an INCREDIBLE human being through this whole process. I appreciate you deeply. I look forward to working with you on a future deal, but one that is streamlined and easy to go. You are one hell of an agent, and I am honored to know you.

Kristy was a ray of hope that came to us at just the right time. With Kristy's guidance, we were able to make some needed changes so that our business would be much more marketable, and she was able to complete the sale at a higher than expected price.
Mrs. Tori, Seller
Kristy was a pleasure to work with. She is very professional and clearly develops rapport with her clients. She knows what she is doing and was instrumental in getting all parties to closing on the purchase of an investment property.
