My company has been saved by the most incredible lady in the business. I really couldn’t have done this a tenth as well without Kristy, and I owe her big. I could go on and on about how much she has changed my company and me as an owner.

We would highly recommend Kristy Thornton for ANY of your real-estate needs. Her background, knowledge and skill sets helped us to navigate the challenges of selling our business. Kristy is one that goes the extra mile...

...[Kristy] worked tirelessly providing more info and rebuttals to buyers on why their offer was too low. In less than a year we completed the sale of the day care within the asking price range. [She is] the first person I will call the next time...
