Kristin Burns

Kristin far exceeded my expectations! Her attention to detail, knowledge of the business, compassion, professionalism, and commitment were exceptional. I highly recommend Kristin to anyone who is considering selling their house. I do not have the experience of working with her on the buying end, but if it's anything like what we experienced selling our house, I would also recommend her if you are looking to buy in this area.

As a result of this experience, Kristin has become a friend. She goes beyond a professional relationship in her care of her clients and considers the needs of the individual. We were truly blessed to have worked with Kristin.

Kristin is a true professional. If you want the job to get done in a superior, timely, and efficient way, then she is the one for you 10 out of 10 times.

Determined, dependable, approachable, knowledgeable, and energetic are five adjectives that define Kristin. She has the game plan set up, but she is extremely flexible and more than willing to listen.

There is no one else that I would even consider to sell my house. Once you have had the best on your side, there is no looking back!

Kristin was referred to me by a friend. From our first consultation with her through the closing on our home Kristin was available to us regarding any questions or concerns we had. We were concerned about all that we did not know about purchasing a new home. Kristin guided us through the entire process with professionalism. The purchasing & closing on our new home proved to be lengthy and challenging, Kristin fought for us to the end. I am grateful we found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.

Kristin Burns is a real estate agent who goes above and beyond for us. Kristin's attention to detail ensures that every aspect of our home-buying process is handled with precision and care, leaving us feeling confident and supported. What truly sets Kristin apart is her dedication to understanding our needs on a personal level. She takes the time to truly listen and learn about our unique desires. Whether it's providing expert guidance on neighborhoods, negotiating the best deal, receiving our transported car, or offering me a ride from the airport to my newly bought house, Kristin consistently delivers outstanding results. It's no wonder that she has earned a reputation as a dependable NOVA agent who consistently surpasses all expectations within the real estate realm.

It was a pleasure to work with Kristin to purchase our home. Kristin helped us find what we were looking for with limited inventory and was endlessly patient with us. We don't plan to buy another home anytime soon, but we would work with Kristin again and would absolutely recommend her to others.

Kristin showed knowledge, patience, and professionalism as our realtor. We have used Kristin before and we knew she would do a great job again. Kristin really listened to what we were looking for and continued to work with us for months until we found a house that suited our needs. Thank you Kristin!

Kristin is very knowledgeable in the value and resources in our area. She advised us and shared much information that made us feel confident in the decisions we made.

Kristin made this process very easy!

Kristin was always there whenever we needed her!

Kristin's institutional knowledge, the people she surrounds herself with, and her ability to teach you about the housing market provide her clients a level of confidence that makes you feel minimal anxiety and very well taken care of. She is a real-estate mentor in the way she treats her clients.

I have never felt alone while working with Kristen. I always felt as though there was someone in my corner making magic happen to buy or sell the houses. I think I waited for her to call me back once because she was on a plane. I know that because when she called me back, she called me from the tarmac just to say sorry she didn't return the call sooner.

Having attempted to use two other agents, it was surreal to find Kristen and finally understand what a realtor is supposed to be. She doesn't apply pressure, put you outside of your budget, or really seem all to concerned with commissions. What she does do is enjoy the journey with you as a homebuyer and make sure that the home you find is the home you were looking for. If I was more of a people person, I would want to be a realtor because of how enjoyable the experience always is with Kristen. She makes buying a home fun.

I have worked with Kristen Burns on purchasing two homes and selling one. I can't imagine working with anyone else.

I live in FL and my sister (owner of the property in Dumfries, VA) passed away Feb 21, 2023. A friend of my sister recommended contacting Kristin as she had worked with her husband Joe for a number of years. When I arrived at my sister's home Feb 27, contacted Kristin Feb 28 to see about starting the process of selling the home as it was in the Family Trust. Due to having to go to Probate for portions of my sister's estate, the sale was not able to be accomplished until the present with sale finalized Mon Jul 10, 2023. Did not know about Kristin until my sister had passed and was then recommended. But those items (about realtor integrity) did become very important as the weeks and months passed as Kristin displayed great kindness and patience toward my situation as I was navigating through this process.

Did not anticipate the home to sell as quickly as it did. When the listing went active online Jun 22, the first appointment at 11am turned out to be the new buyers of the home. Was pleasantly surprised and grateful for such an unexpected outcome. The quick sale of the home was due to Kristin's expertise in knowing what would need to be done in getting the home in the best condition possible in preparation for sale. This included getting the home deep cleaned after the Estate Sale concluded, then having the interior repainted, rooms recarpeted, items needing repair taken care of, and the install of the new roof as part of the closing. Also the staging of the interior of the home was exceptional and no doubt contributed greatly to the prompt sale of the home. Really appreciated Kristin's knowledge and contacts of all the appropriate entities to expertly handle the various aspects of the home quickly that needed to be addressed in preparation for the sale.

Due to the lengthy time period between my sister's passing and actual sale of the home, was very grateful to have Kristin representing me through this process as Realtor, especially displaying great patience since there was a lot of uncertainty during the Probate process. Am not sure if a lot of other realtors would have been willing to endure such a long, sometimes uncertain outcome to the now conclusion of the sale of the home. Am very grateful to Kristin for guiding me through the process of selling of the home with detailed emails of related information and always keeping me in the loop either by email or by text.

Kristin's expertise in the selling of the home was exceptional and I greatly appreciate it.

Kristin Burns provided exceptional service throughout the home selling process. We were first time sellers so asked a tons of questions. She was patient and always had spot on suggestions. We took her advice and we are sure that helped us get a quick sale that came in over asking price. We will certainly recommend her to our friends and neighbors in the Northern Virginia area.

Kristin Burns is a true professional and expert in her field. She went above and beyond expectations from preparation of our home for market, advertising once our home was listed, and seamlessly efficient closing. We were first time home owners and she made the entire selling experience smooth and dare I say, enjoyable! We are beyond satisfied and highly recommend Kristin to anyone in the Montclair/Woodbridge/Stafford region!

Kristin Burns is an absolute professional and all around brilliant person. We first worked with her when we bought our home as an out of state military family and immediately knew we could trust her, so there was zero doubt that we'd work with her again when it came time for us to sell.

She has intimate knowledge of the area and all aspects of the home buying and selling process. She educates clients in a way that makes things easy to understand and when you need her help to make a decision you know you can trust her opinion because she truly cares and knows what she's talking about. She's organized, responsible, and is there with you every step of the way.

Kristin came highly recommended and did not disappoint. There were unexpected challenges that she navigated with patience and diligence.

I have been able to learn a lot about how experienced, professional and honorable Kristin Burns is through our friendship as next door neighbors for 25 years.

There was never any question that we would use Kristin to help us sell our home of almost 30 years. She is as honest as the day is long and she took such good care of us during the whole process. We had already moved to our new home several hours away, but dealing long distance was not a problem for Kristin. She really went over and above to advise and help us every step of the way. She always had the answer to my questions about the process. She was very gentle and tactful if I needed to be reassured that any perceived problems could be solved. And all the wrinkles were worked out and we had a very satisfactory outcome. We are very happy with the ease of the sale. We had multiple generous offers, after an open house, by following Kristin's advice.

We can recommend Kristin Burns without reservation.

We loved working with Kristen. She provided great recommendations on vendors to get the house ready. Her home fix up recommendations were spot on but she was not pushy on the ones we decided not to do. Would highly recommend her to friends and neighbors.

She guided us through the process and was always available.

At the end of the day, the house sold quickly and for more than we expected.

Overall, it was a positive experience .

Throughout our home buying process, Kristin was supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping us find the home that was just right for us. She gave honest and valuable guidance without ever pushing or influencing our decisions.

In the wild 2022 housing market, we would have been completely lost without her. We were prepared for the probability that we might have a number of offers rejected before finally having one accepted simply based on the market at the time. However, Kristin helped us figure out how to make the best possible offer on the home that we fell in love with and our first offer was accepted! We were shocked and delighted.

There are many realtors out there, but Kristin is a rare gem with a wealth of knowledge and experience and a warm and engaging personality. Despite her busy schedule, she is always available for her clients and will take whatever steps necessary to ensure they find the home of their dreams! Her and her team are efficient, thorough, and communicative throughout the entire process. The only sad part about our first offer being accepted was that we wanted to spend more time looking for houses with Kristin! But we truly love our home.

Kristin became a member of the family, and although we hope to remain in our current home for many years, we would turn to her without a doubt should we ever need to move again. I highly recommend her to friends, family, and anyone who is looking for a top notch realtor!

Kristen is absolutely amazing. This was my first time buying a house and I honestly am so thankful I had her as my guide. Her knowledge of the home buying process absolutely blew my mind and was instrumental in helping find me the perfect home AND getting all my questions answered. For her, no question was dumb and she was able to provide me with extremely thorough yet understandable answers to my questions regarding houses, the housing market, the home buying process, next steps, etc. I want to touch here on a few things that really stuck out to me. One thing that really stuck out to me is how she tended to answer questions I did not even know to ask. For example, how old is the water heater? That is such a simple question I would not have even thought to ask but she made sure to either communicate that information with me, show me where I could find that information or reach out to the selling agent. I also had an offer in on a house with multiple offers which lead to a bit of a difficult situation. She helped me determine next steps and in what ways I could make my offer more attractive. Her suggestions are 100% what ultimately got me the contract and I am so incredibly happy I went with her suggestions. One last thing I want to highlight is her ability to go way above and beyond what I was expecting from a realtor. When I was setting up utilities at my house, I encountered a situation with my electric company in which there was an inspection hold put on the home. I had no idea what to do so naturally, I called Kristen. Not only did she help me figure out the situation, but she called a bunch of government inspection/ government electric departments and helped me figure out what to do. That is what you get when you work with Kristen. Someone who is knowledgeable, has so much valuable insight into homes, housing market and pricing, someone who will stop at nothing to help you get the home you love and help make sure everything is in order once you get that home.

Kristen was extremely on top of each of these portions of the home buying process. she was extremely accommodating of my schedule and worked with me to make sure I understood each step in the home buying process. At every step of the way, I know I was extremely cared for and was in the best possible hands. I am really lucky I got to work with her. She made home buying easy and is a model for what a good realtor should be like. I cannot imagine a better realtor out there than her and I am just genuinely so thankful I got to work with her.

Kristin is absolutely amazing at what she does. When we decided to sell our home, my husband said "Do we really even need to hire a realtor?"....wow, did Kristin prove him wrong! Her hard work through the entire process made it very clear to us just how important hiring an expert realtor is, and what a difference it makes! My husband has said over and over again, "I don't know how I thought we could do this without a realtor."

Kristin went above and beyond to guide us through each step of the process and make sure we were well equipped to sell our home quickly, and for the best possible price. She communicated effectively, explained everything clearly, and was always available whenever we had questions. It stood out to us how much she listened and valued what was important to us. She was able to make recommendations when we asked for them, but never made us feel pressured. She helped us navigate some home improvements and repairs, gave advice about paint colors and home staging, but ultimately made sure all decisions were our own.

Our open house ran very smoothly due to Kristin's diligence and the hard work of her team. We received TWELVE offers, and Kristin helped us sort through them and evaluate multiple factors to select the best one. She was thorough yet efficient. We were able to accept an offer 4 DAYS after going on the market and stay in our home for the amount of time we needed to without any issues.

Selling a home can be a very overwhelming and stressful process, and yes, you DO need a realtor, but you need one who knows their stuff. That's Kristin. Her level of experience, degree of professionalism, and her warm personality make her the absolute best of the best. She became a part of our family and we would absolutely seek out her services again. We recommend her highly to anyone looking for an incredible realtor!

Kristin has been our realtor several times. She is what brought us to buy in Brittany which was the best decision we ever made. She really knows the area and helped us a lot. When moving away, we immediately went to her and she certainly helped us get the home ready and sold. She was also a great neighbor to have as she lived right down the road.
