What Real Estate Clients are Saying about Crystal:
-
 “As a first time home-buyer - and newly single - I was more than apprehensive and totally new to the whole process of finding and purchasing a home. I felt completely confident and at ease with Crystal guiding me through the process - and it turned out to actually be much easier than I had anticipated and was the most empowering experience of my life. Crystal made the entire journey - from beginning to end - an absolute delight.” [more]
- Whitney, Buyer
-
 “After our interviews, there was no comparison, Crystal stood head and shoulders above all the others. She first made an effort at understanding our needs before making any suggestions. This really impressed us, as everyone has different needs and circumstances. Crystal listed our home and was very helpful in determining a selling price that fit our needs - we were moving out of state fairly quick. By midnight that day she listed our home, she had already marketed our home on her website. She was very well prepared when it came to comps in our neighborhood, and did a terrific job of highlighting the excellent features in our home. To our pleasure, she was able to sell our home for a price above our asking price, in a short amount time.” [more]
- Joe and Stephanie, Seller / Buyer
-
 “I have bought and sold many homes in my life but my experience with you Crystal stands above all the rest....” “Your knowledge of the market and paper work was highly impressive. You not only seem to work night and day but your kind, caring, helpful way made me feel most important and understood...”
“You Crystal are a most definite asset to Century 21 and all who choose to use you for their agent.” [more]
- Teresa, Buyer
-
 “Being an IT guru, I went on-line and did some research and Crystal was the only real estate agent in that area that had current information...” “Having current information is vital in this business. Crystal and I had to quickly move on selling the property and that she did with no hesitation. Within days I had a plethora of information about the market value and areas of interest that gave me the competitive edge I needed...”
“If you're researching for the best agent in your corner then STOP because you found the perfect one, Crystal Boldt with Century 21.” [more]
- Ken, Out-of-state Seller
- "Crystal seemed to really understand the things we loved about our house, and helped us showcase them to potential buyers. Her advice helped me turn it from a "family home" to a "showroom house", with a minimum of effort. I had questions. A lot of questions. And Crystal had a lot of honest, experienced answers. If I had to sell a house again, I'd go to Crystal." [more]
