We worked with Kari on the sale of our home in Phelan. It had a tricky piece to it so needed somebody with the knowledge and "spunk" to take it on. Kari took it on and handled it all like a champ.. It was semi stressful and emotional sale and move. Kari gets that. You can tear up a bit and verbalize your feelings and she is soft hearted enough to understand. but with that said, don't under estimate the "spunk". She trouble arises you can know she will hot it head on and take no prisoners. We knew Kari through our kids and liked her very much. We now can say we have worked with her and still like her. That's a win win. She is no nonsense and a joy to work with.

Kari was amazing. I specifically chose her because she knows the market here well. She’s realistic and a straight shooter. We got a solid offer within two weeks and Kari handled our 4 way contingency with ease. I highly recommend her.

Kari and Christy helped us purchase our first home in 2016. We had an excellent experience with them then. We have had an even better experience with them now as they've helped us sell that same home three years later. Without a moments notice and within 24 hours of contact they had our house listed, viewed, and full-price offer received. It was a bitter-sweet moment for us as we said goodbye to our first home. A friendly and warm relationship with our agents allowed us to approach them with any question or worry. A prompt response was only minutes away. Just like before, we fully and whole-heartedly recommend Kari and Christy for any of your listing, selling, or buying needs. Thanks again ladies, you truly are the best!

Kari and Christy arrived on the scene just as our house searching was failing due to the inability to sell our house. Dream house after Dream house slipped through our fingers from broken contingency contracts.

Together, we stumbled upon our true dream house and thanks to their professionalism and tenacity we secured a new contingency contract. Kari worked tirelessly with my selling agent to ensure our house sale made it through Escrow.

These girls are fighters, through rain storms and COVID-19, they never once slowed down to ensure we received the keys to our new home. 4 months later, my wife and I still can't believe how beautiful our home is. We would highly recommend them to anyone in the market, we even trust them
With our eldest, currently searching for his first home.

I can highly recommend Kari and Christy based on my recent experience in selling our rental property in the high desert. Kari was available to answer all my questions and provide any necessary guidance as needed and without hesitation. She was always quick to respond and helpful. Her knowledge of the market and lending options available were essential to the sale. Experience counts and Kari and Christy always delivered in all aspects of their services provided. I would not hesitiate to contact them again for future transactions.

Kari is AMAZING!!! Her professionalism, perseverance and tenacity through what to me, seemed impossible obstacles, allowed me to sleep at night knowing she would have it all taken care of. She treated our home sale and purchase as if it were her own, going after only the best and staying on top of every person behind the scenes that needed nudging. Selling and purchasing a home is by far one of the most stressful events in our lives, I am grateful we had Kari on our side to navigate what seemed like a roller coaster. I could see and sense a sincere joy for us as she met us at our new home to give us the keys. Thank you Kari for all of you did!!!!!

Kari and Christy are fun and thoughtful to work with. They know their business, from the health and safety issues of your home to the legal ins and outs of what can be done and what cannot. They care about YOU and are sensitive to the emotional fallout of selling a home. Constant communication through text, email and phone calls, is the hallmark of their support style. We were always able reach them with questions and worries. In two weeks we had over 11-12 showings and two full price offers. There were some requests that we could not say "yes" to and they negotiated through all those for us. Because of serious family health concerns, we withdrew our home from the market. Even in that instance, they were very supportive, knowing it was the necessary thing for us. Can't go wrong with these two hard working, dedicated professionals. REALLY !!!!!

Kari and Christy were the second realtors we met with to sell our home in Hesperia. They blew us away explaining their marketing strategy and the way they would present our property. They seemed much more aggressive than the previous agent. They were going to pre-market our home and also use drones to show the whole neighborhood around our home, showing proximity of Hesperia Lake and schools etc. They had a buyer for our home, at full asking price, within 3-4 days of putting it on the market. Kari kept us apprised of every development and answered all our calls or messages promptly. Excellent work. Couldn't have asked for more.

This is the second time I have had the pleasure of using Christy and Kari for a real estate transaction. Once to sell and this time to buy. I have nothing negative to say about either. They are friendly, fun to be around, knowledgeable, hard working and will go above and beyond to make sure you are a satisfied customer. I have had many great laughs with them and have always felt they had my best interests in mind. On a side note, they are both very attractive and have the personalities to accompany their great looks. I highly recommend them as your next real estate agents. I wouldn't use anyone else.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing it was having these two ladies in my corner. Kari and Christy went above and beyond to help me find the home I was looking for. It was obvious from the very beginning that I could put my complete trust in them. They were patient and kind throughout the entire process. Anytime I needed clarification, whether it be about the home itself or the signing of documents, they always had the answers and were great about responding quickly. Buying a home is a stressful situation, but Kari and Christy handled everything in such a way that made this process as easy and smooth as can be. If you decide to buy or sell, these are the realtors you want in your corner! You will not be disappointed.

Kari and her team made my first home buying purchase easy and stress-free. Once we found the house I wanted, Kari and her team took over and I did very little work. Kari was always available to answer any of my questions and did so very quickly. She was honest with me and made me feel like my interests were of her highest concern. Once the house was in escrow, she continuously gave me updates and some things to do until it closed. The whole process was very smooth.

We closed escrow a couple days ago, and Kari has checked in a few times to see how everything is going with the house. Kari provided a list of contacts to get the house running the way I want it to. I'm very happy with my new home and the team that got me here.

My wife and I were first time home buyers without any experience and a little overwhelmed with the thought of it. We left a message with Kari Martinez and within minutes she had returned our call. Fast forward about a month and a half and we are days away from closing on our first home. Within hours of speaking with Kari and forming our partnership we knew we could trust her and that our best interests were her priority. Without even meeting face to face she worked tirelessly to negotiate us into our home. She confronted each obstacle with poise and confidence. She made us feel like we were her only clients, while in fact I know she juggles multiple listings and is a hard working mom. She talked with us about having a good team when it comes to buying a home, well we were lucky enough to have her on ours and it made all the difference. Thank you Kari!

We worked with Kari in particular and she was so helpful in getting us into our first home! We purchased back in 2013 and I wanted to make certain my review was honest and deliberate, so I waited to review. We pointed out a home that was not well advertised and we told her this was the one we were interested in. She worked well with the seller and his agent, understood our concerns and worked quickly to resolve any issues or questions we had. I have to hand it to her, she managed me like a champ. I am very vocal about my concerns and questions and no matter how often I contacted her (night or day) she always responded quickly.

I appreciate the work she put into getting us our first home and I look forward to working with her again in the future!

Amazing! Absolutely amazing!! They seriously out did all expectations! We were probably the most annoying clients with all the questions and inquiring we did, bugging them till late or super early and they seriously got back to us pretty darn fast if not right away with every single question we had! We felt they represented and looked out for us in the best possible way and helped us find our perfect home, even when it got tough!! Seriously, amazing girls! We were so happy we had them as our realtors!! When others said people didn't usually like contingent offers, Karie and Christy totally took on the challenge happily! And sure enough sold our home in 7 days and we opened escrow on another the next week!!! We were not left in the dark at any point in the process in fact, we were even updated in each hour some days!!! I could go on and on but our experience with them was so wonderful! They made buying a new home enjoyable!!! Would recommend them to anyone, especially family and friends who want a nice smooth process!!

Kari is amazing! We have been interested in the property next to our existing home for over a year. We were unable to contact the owners, and they were never outside for us to talk to. After we dealt with a couple other realtors (unsuccessfully) she was able to get in contact with them, and negotiated us a great price. We will definitely refer her to any of our friends and family

We couldn't be happier to have found Kari through Zillow. She has been amazing every step of the way, and we've had such a seamless purchase. It's been great knowing that she was always available to us for anything we needed or any question, big or small, we had. We highly recommend her expertise to anyone looking to buy to sell a home. Another thing we highly appreciated was that not only did she take care of all our needs on the purchase of our home, but she also has a network of professionals that she works with that is able to help us in several areas outside of the purchase. It has been a complete pleasure to have had her guiding us on our journey.

We not only appreciate your business, but most importantly the friendship that has been gained in the process. Having clients like you are a true blessing. You two have been absolutely wonderful. Christy and I are both overjoyed to be able to assist you in the purchase of your beautiful new home. Cheers!

I chose Kari & Christy as my realtors based on the initial meeting we had regarding listing my mothers home after she had passed away. Kari came well prepared with comps, other information and a plan to sell the home. She gave some great advice based on her experience on things I could do and expect to do along the way. Kari was very understanding to my family's situation and immediately took charge. We had a full price offer the first day it was listed. The 30 day escrow period was flawless with Kari & Christie communicating every issue that came up. With every issue that came up they included a plan of action to overcome the hurdle and stay on point. I have bought and sold many homes in my lifetime and without question this experience was the best. I would never hesitate to have them help me with another real estate transaction in the future. I will recommend them to family and friends with confidence.

It can be overwhelming choosing a Real Estate Agent in todays market and Christy and I would like to thank you, along with your family for entrusting us to help you complete your Real Estate transaction. We appreciate you taking the time to submit your experience and are grateful to have gained your business and a long lasting relationship. Cheers! The Sweetness & Substance Team

Our house was being rebuilt after a fire and we needed to sell it quickly. We live 1200 miles away and my husband was working overseas. After several delays in the rebuild process, Kari had the house on the market the minute it was ready. We accepted a full offer the next day. She helped us get through a frustrating lengthy escrow process due to complications of selling a new build as well as issues on the buyers side. The most helpful things during the whole process were Kari's great communication and availability, and also being able to complete almost all the paperwork through email and digital signatures, making selling from a long distance so much easier! I would highly recommend her, especially to anyone who is buying or selling a house from long distance.

I am pleased with the results that Kari Martinez helped produce. I sold 2 houses with Kari and although they had their difficulties, Kari did well keeping the sales moving. She was reasonably aggressive and negotiated well to gain good deals. I did give her 4 stars for local knowledge since I disagreed with her suggested listing price and we successfully sold the house for $10k more than she suggested. I also gave 4 stars for process expertise. Although I do believe she is an expert at the process, I rapidly learned the phrase "we're good on the paperwork" really means "we're good until the next surprise form which needs to be signed sooner than immediately." But I think the escrow company and buying agents also share in that chaos. Overall, I would happily recommend Kari and think she does very well navigating the potentially chaotic mess involved with selling a home.

Mr. Muller,Thank you for taking the time out of your day and submitting a review. I appreciate your business and am thankful for the two homes we were able to close. Just to touch on the list price a bit. The suggested list price is based off of the condition of the property prior to obtaining the listing along with the comparable properties in the surrounding area. As far as "We're good on the paperwork" was where we were at in that moment in the transaction. In the process of selling or buying a property you are at the mercy of not only the other agent, but other entities as well. That being said, the paperwork was presented when needed or when received. I am happy to hear you understand that were are at the mercy of many and again Thank You for your business.

Kari has made the sale of our house absolutely flawless, and we didn't make it easy on her (We live across the country and the house was occupied by a tenant throughout the process).
