My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with Kristen’s and Rebecca’s professionalism and patience as we searched for our first home. It felt like we looked at dozens of properties! With each walk-through they were accommodating and had our best interests at heart. Kristen and Rebecca respected our budget and wish list with every suggested property. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell!

My husband and I worked with Rebecca Johnson and Kristen Rabell for a year as we searched for the perfect home to meet our budget and very specific requirements. Rebecca and Kristen provided us with expertise knowledge as we navigated the Gainesville market and made us feel confident in our purchase. We were grateful for their prompt replies and always felt confident they had our best interest in mind as we went through the negotiation process. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home in Gainesville!

Kristen and Rebecca provided superior service beyond our expectations! We interviewed two other realty companies before meeting with Kristen and Rebecca. The most impressive aspect was their presentation of comps to determine the best listing price. It was apparent they had taken time to prepare a useful and captivating presentation. Using media marketing, our house was getting attention on the first day the sign went up! We sold in two days!
Most notable was this team’s communication! Keeping in touch with us was their priority providing us the ability to make decisions quickly!
If you are looking for a professional, successful and very effective realtor team, choose Kristen and Rebecca, you will be very satisfied!

My wife and I were first-time home buyers; Kristen walked us through the home buying process step-by-step and counseled us on the do’s and don’ts of home buying and helped us with finding a lender,a home inspector, and an insurance agent; there was nothing she wasn’t able to help with! From start  to finish Kristen was personally involved and exceedingly responsive; more than we had hoped for in a Realtor. Kristen worked hard to negotiate the most equitable contract between us and the seller; which was difficult with the seller having already moved out of state. Even when there was a last minute issue with the agreement, Kristen and Rebecca worked tirelessly to figure out a way to make things work in both party’s favor. Kristen was personally present to show us the house, for the inspection, for the pre-closing walk-through, and for the closing itself; she provided top rate service! I have already recommended Kristen to colleagues who are starting to look for homes; I highly recommend Kristen to anyone who is looking for a home to buy, or has one to sell; she is a true professional and is very good at what she does. Thanks Kristen!

My husband and I recently used Kristen to buy and sell a home. She was patient, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the entire process. Our home sold within 2 weeks of being listed, so she hustled and helped us get into a new home quickly. She negotiates well and keeps you informed on how the  whole process works. She made what can be a stressful process so much easier. We would 100% recommend using Kristen and will use her for future home purchases. Thanks Kristen!

Rebecca was truly wonderful. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We live in overseas and contacted her about buying a holiday home to which she responded by email promptly and thoroughly. We trusted her to cherry pick properties for us to view on the only day we were in Gainesville and she got it completely right. She understood what we were looking for and was able to guide us when we were unsure.
The purchasing process what tiresome and endless hard work but Rebecca was an absolute trooper. Again answering phone calls, texts and emails regardless of time zones. She was always our go-to-girl and never failed to deliver.
She was a pleasure to work with and I will be recommending her without hesitation to all my friends.

We found Rebecca and Kristen when we were at our wits’ end trying to sell our father’s house after he had passed. It was an unusual house needing lots of care and none of his children lived nearby. The house had been listed with another realtor for over six months with little activity. We then had another realtor turn us down saying that the house was too difficult for them to sell. When we found Rebecca and Kristen, everything started to turn around. They went out of their way to address the unusual aspect of the house, putting up a huge sign, and they were willing to help us find quotes for some of the necessary repair work. One of the best things was that Rebecca was extremely responsive, answering emails and calls very promptly. It was truly a pleasure working with her. With her help, the house did indeed sell, all of the hurdles were overcome, and the estate is now closed out. We can’t recommend Rebecca and Kristen highly enough.

– Andrew A.

We found Rebecca here on Zillow and were very impressed. She’s excellent. From her professionalism, hometown knowledge of the area and her down to earth attitude. We can truly say she’s been the best realtor we’ve ever had, bar none. We could rely on what she said. She was extremely responsive answering the calls, emails or texts almost immediately. We found her to be very helpful and knowledgeable. She did not waste our time. She is very organized. Once we found the right property, we had to await the short sale approval process. I can honestly say that she got the deal done. When there were snags in the process it was Rebecca who solved the issue and knew exactly who to call. All of the people she recommended were just as high caliber as she is. We also found Kristen to be of the same mindset and professionalism as Rebecca. They make a great team!! We give them our highest recommendation and would hope to use them again on our next real estate transaction. It was a pleasure to work with them both.

– Elena B.

Kristen and Rebecca were absolutely fantastic. I can’t recommend them highly enough. If you’re in the market, selling or buying, do yourself a favor and contact them immediately. They both spent an inordinate amount of time working with us.
Kristen kept in constant contact and kept the traffic high in our home. She was absolutely perfect in her execution and everything a Realtor should aspire to be…honest, hardworking, reassuring (for those numerous panic moments), informative, and tough as a negotiator.
We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you both so much!!!

– Christian and Michelle

Our property was a short sale, and Rebecca was knowledgeable, encouraging and helpful in every way. We live almost 300 miles away from the property we were selling, and it was nice to know that whenever we called her or had a question, she always responded right away. She had a buyer within days of listing our property, and helped us through the detailed process of the short sale; always keeping us informed and up to date along the way. When problems arose, she helped us solve them; recommending qualified individuals along the way. If the future ever brings us to the Gainesville area again, we would not hesitate to call Rebecca and Kristin again, and would definitely recommend them to all our friends and family.

– Dianne D.

We loved working with Kristen and Rebecca more than we can say. They are exceptional realtors with unlimited smarts, enthusiasm and responsiveness. We interviewed 3 realtors and Kristen and Rebecca were the only ones to (impressively) come to that first meeting fully prepared with comps and ideas  and numbers for our house. They were open to our ideas and numbers also. They were personable, collaborative and professional at all times! We loved working with Kristen and Rebecca more than we can say!!!

– Ellen G.

After our initial meeting with Kristen and Rebecca, we knew they were the Realtors best suited to sell our condo quickly and at a fair market price. They are very professional, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to any questions or issues that may arise. Aside from the normal services offered by a Realtor, Kristen and Rebecca went the extra mile to handle unforseen events that occurred to our property while the unit was listed for sale. These actions were not explicitly stated in our contract, but Kristen and Rebecca put their client first to make sure the property was in the best condition for potential buyers. I would highly recommend Kristen and Rebecca for your buying or selling needs! They truly know the North Central Florida market and provide the highest level of service for their client.

– Susanna K.

We just moved into a new house in Tower 24. Kristen and Rebecca listed and sold our home in Northridge Subdivision, as well as sold us our new house in Tower 24. They are a great team, working together throughout the entire process. We got an offer on our house we were selling within a week, accepted it, and closed on both homes in less than two months. Both Kristen and Rebecca were totally accessible and patient as we worked to satisfy inspectors, loan officers, appraisers, and anybody else involved in the process. I would highly recommend them. They are genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and effective realtors…. worthy of your trust and consideration.

– Jane C.

We worked with several other realtors in Gainesville, but none of them were able to show us something that fit our style. Finally we found our way to Kristen Rabell and she was brilliant! Extremely professional and always looking out for her clients. I would recommend her to anyone without a single hesitation!!

– David

We were amazed at how fast Kristen sold our home! When we called her and she met with us she told us exactly what we needed to do to list our house. As soon as we were ready she had listed us online and in all their local advertising magazines. I was thrilled with how fast she got the pictures and posted them. Anytime there was any activity on the house she would let us know by email. We never once had to get in touch with her because she was on the ball with keeping us informed. Considering we don’t live local that was what we needed. I wish she was in Tampa where we live now to help us try and sell one more! Can’t say enough, she was AWESOME!

– Tom B.

Kristen and Rebecca made the sale of our home a breeze. Any questions or concerns that we had were immediately addressed. They are very knowledgable about the process and have so many contacts in the area to work with. We were able to sit back and relax knowing we could trust them throughout the  whole process. We would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about buying or selling a home.

In 2010, I was in the market for a retirement home in Gainesville, FL. At the time, I was working and living in Washington, DC. Quite a challenge to say the least. Rebecca and Kristen couldn’t have been more accommodating. During planned house hunting trips, Kristen spent a tremendous amount of time showing me various areas, developments and houses. She supported me from the beginning of the process to the closing on my new home. They are professional, competent, and exhibit youthful exuberance and energy. I highly recommend them.

– Kim L.

Kristen and Rebecca are a superb team and the perfect example of the benefits of working with two full time realtors, instead of just one, when selling real estate in the current market; the way they work so well together was much appreciated if one was out of town, at another appointment, etc. With their years of experience in the Gainesville area, they are also a good resource for “whom to call for what” related to home repairs, real estate legal questions, etc. Their professionalism, promptness, and especially willingness to go the extra mile put them at the top of my list.

– Ed B.

Beginning the home search process as first time buyers, we were worried about having a realtor that wouldn’t understand what we were looking for, or would seem like a used-car salesman and would aggressively try to sell us everything we saw. Upon first meeting Kristen, we learned she was exactly the opposite! She understood what we wanted immediately, creating a MLS cart with multiple listings that fit our interests exactly, and was always quick to point out both positives and negatives to consider about each house. I never felt like she was “selling” me anything, which was very important to us.
I can confidently say that her proactive nature, her responsiveness, and her willingness to communicate with us frequently by phone/email/text despite busy work schedules (ours and hers!) is the only reason we have our dream house today! Thanks, Kristen!

– Ryan & Michelle N.

Kristen and Rebecca were consummate professionals. They were extremely patient with me as a first time buyer. They never tried to sell me on a house and were willing and able to point out concerns with houses that I might have otherwise considered. I wholeheartedly recommended them to family members, friends and colleagues. I will use them again if I’m in the market.

– Sylvia T.

Our family relocated to Gainesville from Miami. It was a long process finding the right home because we were only able to look every couple of weeks. Rebecca was so helpful and always made time for us when we needed her. Kristen and Rebecca’s virtual shopping cart of homes was fun and interactive and made sorting through the endless amounts of inventory much easier. Rebecca was very professional but we also felt like we were working with a friend which made us feel more comfortable. She walked us through every step of the process and we always felt she understood our needs and wants and made sure we found the home that fit our family perfectly. I would highly recommend working with Rebecca and Kristen. They make quite a team.

– Dari D.

We couldn’t be more happy with the process or result. Kristen walked us through every step, answered every question, provided us with guidance when needed, and ultimately put us in the perfect home. Even after the sale she’s continued to be a great source of help. She’s worked with multiple  other coworkers of mine, and all say the same things. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.

– Karl H.

Kristen Rabell went above & beyond to guide us through the process of purchasing a home in Trenton, FL. She listened to all our concerns and never lost her patience with us. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy property in Florida. She is an outstanding representative of her  profession

– Dee T.

Kristen was a delight to work with. Always going above and beyond to make sure she was able to make “our” schedule. We looked at several properties and went back and forth a few times and she was always there with a smile. Always had the answers and if she was unsure she worked hard in getting us the answers and or information we needed. I would use her again n a heartbeat! Thank you for a job well done!!!!!

– Michelle L.

Kristen worked with us for almost two years to find a property we wanted. She was very helpful, always available, and guided us to the opportunities we needed to find our home.
