Kristina McCann, REALTOR-Broker Chroma Realty East Bay & Santa Cruz

She is very well connected. It seemed like she knew the right people to contact and approaches to take for every issue that came up with our house sale.

Kristina is an expert and connector within the Lamorinda area. She was the first person I wrote when looking for a recommendation on a Commercial Real Estate broker to help me open a new business. I appreciate how much she cares about serving and helping others in the local community.

I've known Kristina for several years through our local community. She's quite active and involved and delivers when she says she wants to be helpful. Kristina jumped right in to help a family member find temporary housing when needed. Also, she freely offers resources when asked. Emergency electrician needed at 9pm on a Sunday night? Ask Kristina. And she will have backup options too! Need help planning out a new landscaping plan, she's got someone who can do that. Want to find someone to remodel your bathroom? Kristina will share her resource.

My friend recommended Kristina McCann to me. Kristina had just helped her sell her home in record time. Throughout the sale of my home I was constantly impressed with Kristina's professionalism. She worked nonstop, answering my questions and guiding me through everything. I truly believe she made it as easy and painless as she could, being that I had lived in my home for 20+ years. I cannot recommend her enough for her professionalism, knowledge and dedication. She would be very valuable to anyone looking to sell or but a home.

We moved continents from the UK to Bay Area recently and Kristina went out of the way to make that transition very smooth for us. It’s very rare to meet someone in real estate who helps you even if there’s nothing in it for them. Kristina is one of those rare few. That aside, she is extremely knowledgeable about East bay and well connected to realtors in other parts of the country. Definitely recommend working with her.

We just purchased a property in east bay, Kristina was very helpful. I am based in Asia with huge time differences, she was very accommodating throughout the process. She help me out getting all the vendors to do inspections and find me all the info that I need.

Kristina is innovative, smart and always ready to do what is needed! She has been so helpful with several of my Realestate issues even outside of selling. She is very knowledgeable and has a vast network of connections to help with any realestate issue. Highly recommend!

Kristina is very generous with her time and network- willing to share referrals to others and general advice, even as we are not currently on the market for a new home, all of which is much appreciated.

Kristina is a wonderful resource for all things Lamorinda! She truly cares about this community and knows just what to do and who to call for any home issues under the sun. She is creative, fun, and will always go the extra mile!

Kristen is the modern day version encyclopedia of local resources and community connections. She has been an indispensable asset for any real estate related questions for the entire bay area during our transition from a different side of the bay and has patiently answered questions and provided comps as we've been on the "lookout" for something special without any expectations or frustrations with our slow as a snail pace to the path of home ownership. Bottom line Kristen is awesome and you'd be lucky to be a party of her "tribe".

While we’ve not used Kristina to buy or sell our home yet, she has been wonderful in helping us find the resources to make home improvements. She advised where to invest more heavily in, and where we could make modifications more efficiently. She also happens to be a wonderful human being and very thoughtful to the community which in turn helps her stay connected to the market learning what opportunities are going to be available soon.

Kristina goes above and beyond to make sure her clients have the best of the best, be it the right contractor, vendor or product. Kristina had a vast network of professionals at her fingertips to refer when a client has a need.

Before a change at work came to pass, I was working with Kristina to find my first home to purchase. Kristina was on top of the market, responsive and provided me with a real take on where the market was. I highly recommend her.

We were looking for a house for nearly 6 months but kept getting continually disheartened because we were working with an agent that didn't know market trends where we were looking (which was everywhere). When we met Kristina, she was able to show us Oakland, Walnut Creek and everywhere in-between and, more importantly, she actually knew all the areas. We ended up in Pleasant Hill in a neighborhood we weren't even aware of. We only wanted to buy the best house we could buy and our first agent (a "neighborhood specialist") was lost once we drove more than 10 miles in any direction. Her generalized knowledge of the East Bay was incredible and she was exceedingly kind to our daughter, which was amazing as it was twice as tough toting a toddler everywhere!

I picked Kristina because I saw she had listed and sold several houses in the neighborhood. She did not disappoint. Sold the house the same week we listed it! Very helpful in setting a realistic price, the process was painless and she made it all look easy:) Thanks Kristina.

I am extremely impressed with Kristina's knowledge and professionalism. She always responded to texts and calls promptly. She was a skilled negotiator with the multiple offers I received and used her skills to get me the best deal. She hired a highly skilled photographer and used the photos on the incredible website she set up for my property. She followed up with every person and agent who attended the various Open Houses. I got very personalized service and I highly recommend using Kristina as a Seller's agent.

Kristina was a great agent and I would definitely contact her again the next time I buy. She was able to find a condo that is perfect for me and also within my price range. She has a knack for knowing how much a property will sell for and what a good offer is. I was able to get the condo for I believe was below market price, which is unbelievable in the Bay Area. As a first time home buyer, much of the process was brand new and confusing to me. Kristina was able to guide me and was always available to answer my questions. Add on top of that, I was out of the country for much of escrow, she was still able to keep me informed on documents I needed to sign along with how the process was coming along. Kristina will work hard for you and definitely help you find a perfect home.

Kristina is a "rare" find in today's RE market. Just to name a few of many qualities Kristina possess: honesty, integrity, intelligence and excellent negotiating skills. We are so fortunate to find Kristina and she's able to individualize a plan to meet all of our RE needs. Even though we are not a first time home buyer, we still learnt so much from Kristina's expert knowledge of today's RE market.she's also very resourceful from finding us a handyman to mold inspector.she's also very responsive with texts/calls, which is key to success in today's market. As a healthcare provider, i'm a firm believer that trust is the ultimate bond with each of my patients. It's so comforting and refreshing to know that we can trust Kristina 100% with our decision. We will continue to use Kristina for all our future RE needs.

To comment on the four rating categories, which she deserves five stars in each:

Local Knowledge: We were specifically looking in the Martinez area. Kristina knew the changes in quality of neighborhoods and schools from place to place, and ultimately maximized the value of our purchase.

Process Expertise: Absolutely no loose ends and nothing unattended or unsigned at the end of our 25-day close.

Responsiveness: I don't think we have ever reached out to Kristina with a call or text and not gotten a response in more than a few minutes. She clearly prioritizes making herself available to her clients, both remotely and in person.

Negotiation Skills: Despite the sellers' demands of an ""as-is"" agreement, Kristina was able to negotiate a new water heater, among other things.

My sister recommended Kristina McCann to me. Kristina had just help her sell her home in record time. Throughout the sale of my home I was constantly impressed with Kristina's professionalism. She worked nonstop, answering my questions and guiding me through everything. I truly believe she made it as easy and painless as she could, being that I had lived in my home for 40+ years. I cannot recommend her enough for her professionalism, knowledge and dedication. She would be very valuable to anyone looking to sell or but a home.
