I’ve used Kristy Thornton’s Texas Empire Properties for two transactions: one selling a Montessori school, and the other while buying a Montessori school. No matter which side of the transaction you are on, Kristy Thornton and Associates are fair, professional

Kristy had such neat ideas…she presented things I would have never thought of! She is extremely good at her job. If I could have added anything it would have been…MORE TIME. I wanted to learn so much more from Kristy.
