Some thoughts from my clients
When I say Crystal Allen is the best in the business.. that’s exactly what I mean!!! I recently purchased my first home, and I couldn’t be more pleased and thankful for choosing her as my realtor. She is very knowledgeable and professional, and made the buying process stress free !! Crystal informed me on exactly what to do step by step, and following her lead I was able to close in around 45 days!!! I highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling property !! You will not be disappointed. She has single handed changed my life and made it possible for me to break generational curses within my family. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me and my family ❤️

After evaluating Crystal Allen realtor posts and confirming her claims, I decided to work with her. This woman knows her stuff and can most definitely back it up!! The process was effortless and efficient. Pending to closing in less than 30 days. Crystal was always available to address my concerns and provided solutions to any challenges that arose. She is empathetic, passionate, knowledgeable, professional, and honest. Thank you, Crystal, for a great experience and helping me close on my home. If you’re looking to buy and/or sell, Crystal Allen has my stamp of approval!!

Crystal is not only an Amazing Real Estate agent she is an awesome person with a beautiful personality. Her experience and knowledge of the game is unlike any other. She walk with us every step of the way through the search and the purchasing process and didn’t leave our side until the final “I” was dotted and the last “T” was crossed at closing. If you are going into the home buying venture I recommend you give Crystal the opportunity to make your home buying process one you will remember. Thank You Crystal for making our home’s memories begin with a great experience.
