Sandy Kay (Krystosik)

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Sandy Kay. Bottom line is you want Sandy on your Team, no question!This was our first time buying a home and we had more questions than answers. Sandy was very patient as we searched for several weeks. She took diligent note of our many (and often scattered) comments as we walked through different homes and would use that to help fine tune our future searches and help us remember all the different choices. Sandy provided a great sense of stability and a method to our madness that really helped us tackle this process.We soon learned that we were most interested in buying a new build aEURoespecaEUR? home. Walking into a model home with the many sales agents swarming at the door can be overwhelming. Not to mention, the builders sales agents have much more knowledge about the ins and outs (and critical aEURoeloopholesaEUR?) that can give them the upper hand. But Sandy handled this all with ease. We felt very confident interacting with the sales agents with Sandy there. She provided a strong and professional line between us and the sales agents, allowing me and my wife to not be distracted, and instead, focus on the main objective: finding our new home.While looking at various houses, Sandy had great perspective. She looked at every home as if she were making the investment herself. She didnt try to aEURoesellaEUR? anything. She simply gave us the pros and cons straight up and let us make the decision from there. Some sales agents would even jokingly ask aEURoeWhy are you telling them that?!aEUR? But this only built our trust with Sandy stronger. We were very appreciative to have someone truly looking out for our best interests.Negotiating a contract with a builder (and any seller for that matter) is challenging and complex but this is where Sandys many years of experience shined. She strategized with us before entering the model about what questions we needed answered, what offer we could make, and what our alternative plans were given different responses from the seller. During negotiations, Sandy was brilliant, making sure we got the best deal possible, not only on the sales price but also on upgrades, closing costs, etc. Again, Sandy is seasoned and meticulous in this arena and it really helped us through this part of the process.Finally, the personality of your realtor is a key aspect. You spend a lot of time with your realtor! Whether it be on the phone, over email, or in person, you get to know your agent really well. Sandy was a pleasure to be with. Very personable, pleasant, and easy to talk to. And we had a little 2-yr old son in tow during the whole process. She would even play catch with him while my wife and I were looking at a house (he still asks for her ??).Sandy has our full recommendation, to say the least, and we will use her again in a heartbeat for any future real estate needs.Thank you Sandy for everything!

Sandy is a delight. Very professional and always on time. She went out of her way to communicate with us. She was also great with negotiating and got us a more than fair concession. Even helped with getting sellers to repair minor damage caused when they moved. I couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you Sandy for all you're hard work.

Sandy was an amazing realtor! We were first time home buyers and knew very little about the whole process. She took her time and walked through everything with us in great detail. Not only that but she was available at all times. She worked on our schedules, arrived early, and was prepared for every showing. She helped us know what to offer, why to offer what we should offer, and was a fantastic support through the whole process. You will not regret using Sandy as your realtor!

Sandy helped me and my husband find the perfect home for our growing family. From our first chance meeting at an open house, we were so impressed by her very proactive approach, her honesty and directness, and her patience with our vague and shifting goals. Throughout the process, from looking at home after home after home to closing, we felt that she had our best interests at heart, and that meant so much given that this was our first time purchasing a home. Her knowledge, professionalism, and awe-inspiring work ethic continuously put us at ease. Beyond all of this, Sandys awesome personality just made the whole process fun! She is patient, kind, and a total pleasure to work with.

Simply put, Top notch. Sandy was referred to me by a close friend because she did such an excellent job for him buying his home. It was an excellent recommendation. But words wont fully do justice on the great experience I had in working with Sandy. I wasnt even sure I was staying in the state or that Id be ready to actually buy until the spring if I did stay. Upfront I told Sandy I wouldnt mind browsing but wanted to be clear and fair to her and her time. I also started with a pretty tight budget. But Even knowing I may go out of state and I was only casually looking I felt I got more than 100% effort from her as if I were as serious of a buyer as any. And while my budget was lower, she still treated me as if I were a top priority client. Right out of the gate I felt like she was working hard for me and providing solid options. She was always available and responsive. She was sweet and easy to talk to and made me feel at ease and that I had not only someone willing to work hard to find me great options but who listened to what I was looking for and was trustworthy and reliable. If I had questions she always did an excellent job answering them or finding the answer or getting back to me in a timely manner. She did a fantastic job in every aspect and way I could have asked for. And we found me a great property I'm really excited about. Without her I dont think we would have gotten it. ( 3 bids within 24 hrs of listing and 5 within 36 hours ) thanks to Sandy we put in a great offer and won. It all happened extremely fast and was as good of a property as I could have asked and All thanks to Sandy for her hard work and ongoing tireless efforts. I could go on and on but in short it is a rare thing in this world these days to find someone as quality to work with as Sandy Kay in any capacity or role. She provides top notch and bar none service on all fronts. I only wish there were some way I could further convey how impressive she was, what a great agent she is and what a pleasure it was to work with her. I would recommend her to anyone and couldnt imagine finding a better agent and should anyone reading this review so choose to use her I assure you, you absolutely will not regret it.

She Is Amazing!!! Not only was this our familys first time buying a home but we were also moving from out of state. The process in itself was scary and very intimidating. We had no idea where to start until we were reading reviews ourselves and came across Sandy. From the first conversation we had over the phone she reassured us that she would be with us every step of the way and until the very end thats where she was!!! Going through the home buying process my husband and I went through every emotion possible and she was right there through all of that too! She answered all of our questions, concerns, and more. She always gave us the best advice and always had our children in mind when it came to the home. This was such a big decision in our lives and I dont know how we wouldve done it without her!!!

My wife and I are first-time homebuyers, and Sandy made the home-buying process as smooth as we could have imagined it would be. When we first interviewed her, we were immediately impressed at her attention to detail and her thorough explanations of what to expect when buying our home. She answered all of our questions with eagerness and cheerfulness. When we started browsing homes in the online portal, she previewed homes for us if we couldn't be there and sent us tons of pictures and listed her concerns. We were able to cross several homes off of our Favorites list this way without needing to travel to each house for a viewing. This was incredibly convenient. When we viewed our first homes, we fell in love with one of them and were going to wait the weekend to make an offer. She encouraged us to make the offer the same day if we really liked the house, because she suspected that by Monday, other offers would be made. We took her advice and made the offer, and sure enough, another offer was placed Monday morning. She negotiated hard for us, and despite the other offer being higher than ours, the seller signed with us!! Sandy continued to negotiate hard for us during the option period, securing seller's concessions that reduced our closing costs. She stayed on top of the vendors to ensure that needed repairs were completed correctly, and she was always responsive to our texts, phone calls, and emails throughout the entire process. We cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was with Sandy as our real estate agent. We will be recommending her to everyone we know who is buying a home!!

Sandy worked for us as our buyer's agent.Was very knowledgeable of the process and area but not overbearing.Responded very quickly via both texts and emails.Coached us on our offer and it was accepted at a price below asking with other seller compensated items thrown in.We had a complicated closing with numerous amendments and a couple curve balls but we were still able to go from starting offer to closing in 16 days and were quite pleased with the end result.

My husband and I are so happy to have worked with Sandy to buy our home. As first time home buyers we relied on her expertise to help navigate us through the process.Once we gave her our criteria and started looking at homes she made herself available and was extremely responsive to our calls. In fact, the same day that she became our real estate agent she was able to secure for us a home viewing for that very night! She was a great resource for even our smallest questions and put us at ease as we viewed houses with her. Sandys experience in real estate was evident as she was able to explain not only what to look for in a home, but opportunities for improvement that would increase the value of our home down the road. She helped us really understand that this is not just a home, but an important investment and we should choose wisely. Her help didnt stop at picking the right home. From offer to closing we were so impressed by her attention to detail and we never doubted that she had our best interest at heart. We felt that she was able to negotiate from a position of strength even in a aEURoesellers market.aEUR? Her confidence gave us comfort, you wouldnt regret having Sandy on your side of the negotiating table.At inspection and through the repair amendment she was a strong source of information. She came with us to the inspection presentation and quickly communicated with the listing agent our concerns, helping us secure the necessary repairs we wanted.Sandy did a wonderful job working with our lender as well. They were able to build strong rapport which helped our offer to be accepted and also helped us close less than 3 weeks from offer.Sandy Kay is a knowledgeable real estate agent, a strong relationship builder and we would/will work with her in the future for other home purchases. We cant recommend her highly enough!
