We would highly recommend Kristy to anyone considering selling their business or buying commercial property. She will tirelessly work to represent you and your interests, and make this process understandable and beneficial for you.
Phil Ferrant, CPA
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, 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.

I feel like the transaction and process was flawless, due to Kristy's positive attitude, work ethic, professionalism, and humility. Thank you, thank you for helping me move into my retirement with a comfortable nest egg.

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...
