“We knew that selling a long held home in SLO would be a rollercoaster of emotion, details, and coordination. Finding a skilled team to help us complete this arduous process was very important to us. Richardson Properties is deeply rooted in this community, and is the conduit to successfully connect serious sellers and buyers. Chris and Kristen were masterful at every stage of the process from preparing the house for sale, finding tradesmen for the last minute repairs , marketing and presenting the home, coordinating showings, completing the many documents, and facilitating a complicated move. Their constant availability, clear communication, and perfect follow-through was immensely helpful in keeping the myriad of details on track. Their deep local knowledge and well earned reputations ultimately found us a highly qualified buyer in a rapidly changing market. Most importantly; their capable, warm, and reassuring guidance eased us through the many steps to complete the emotional journey. Chris and Kristen are the consummate professionals and friends to have at your side when considering selling a home.”

"My family and I interviewed a total of five real estate agents, and we selected Chris and Kristen because their insight and experience with selling luxury real estate clearly stood out. Prior to putting my home on the market, they were diligent in helping us prepare the home for photography and showings. Their detailed, professional marketing materials were beautifully prepared. Chris and Kristen’s communication was first-rate; they provided regular updates with feedback and pertinent information. When we received multiple offers, they provided valuable input to help me secure an excellent offer, and a strong back-up offer. Chris, Kristen, and their team are professional and capable, and I highly recommend hiring them for your real estate needs."

- Robinson R.
“By following Chris's excellent advice we were able to realize a sale price that other brokers had told us could not be achieved. The next time I am contemplating a Central Coast real estate transaction I won't call anyone else.”
- David S.
“We highly recommend the Richardson team who laid out an organized plan to market our home. They worked with us to prepare our home to look its best and made sure their marketing material was ready prior to hanging up the "For Sale" sign. Their descriptions photographs brochures and videos were all professionally created and beautifully done. The Richardson team's communication was excellent. Throughout the sales process they provided weekly status reports with clear and concise feedback from showings. These updates were greatly appreciated. When we received an offer they provided valuable input and support throughout the closing process. The Richardson Team acted in a professional manor and met all the promises made when we signed our agreement. My wife and I would use them again.”

“Chris and Kristen were awesome! My 85 year old mother has been suffering with Parkinson's and it was decided her 2 bedroom/2 bath Pismo Beach vacation home which had been a rental the last few years needed to be sold. We live in Los Angeles and from afar they helped get things in shape and sell it quickly. So knowledgeable effective and fast in finding good repair people and dependable in all areas. We got a good price with this kind and easy-to-work with duo. A million thanks!”

“We took our time interviewing potential realtors to help us with our out of state buying situation. Kristen quickly set herself apart from others with her proactive approach and her ability to get us into off-market listings during a short window. She leveraged her broad network to get us into our dream home and was creative and tenacious throughout the process when unforeseen barriers arose. Amazingly, Kristen made us feel like she was dedicated to us while we were in town looking at properties, which we know was not the case given the high activity in the market. Thank you Kristen!”
-Nicole F.
“I have done a couple transactions now with Kristen. She is fantastic! She is willing to go the extra mile and get creative to get things done. She is professional and very knowledgeable about real estate and she's well plugged into the community. I look forward to working with her on more deals. If you're looking to buy a home, an investment property or bare land on the Central Coast, I highly recommend Kristen.”
- Jay C.
“Kristen was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is an exceptional communicator and steady hand no matter the circumstances. We are happy to recommend her to our dearest friends and family.”
-Ryan B.
“It was wonderful working with Kristen! She was very communicative and gave great advice when making difficult decisions. I also really liked that she never put her own opinions on house but gave us time to think and make our own thoughts. She is super knowledgeable about the market and area, and she was very efficient and available. I'd highly recommend working with Kristen!”
-Berenice S.S.
“We have had the pleasure of working with Kristen Gentry to find our amazing home in Morro Bay. It was a challenge since we lived in Santa Cruz County. She was patient and listened continued to send us listings so we knew what was available. It took some time but she found us the perfect home. We are so excited and grateful.”
-Candace H.
“Kristen has been our real estate agent for our sale of a family home in Los Osos. Being that I am out of state, we relied on Kristen for not only her wise counsel (what to repair on our home, pricing, etc.), but also her assistance in finding reliable companies/workers to take care of the various projects that were needed. All were done well, on time and on budget. Overall, we relied on Kristen for a number of things... to many to list. Her suggestions/recommendations were astute/spot on and I believe aided in selling our home quickly (within 5 days of listing), yet we were still able to garner the price we'd hoped for. Kristen is professional, responsive, reliable, thorough, (provided easy to understand information during the entire process, which was important for me, as someone new to selling a home), and a pleasure to work with. We couldn't be happier that we selected Kristen as our agent and we highly recommend her.”
-Ralph S.
“I am an investor from out of town. Kristen was able to immediately distinguish between someone that is buying a home to live in or one who wants an solid investment. Being from out of town, Kristen only found us properties that made financial sense. Her knowledge of the local market in both sales and rentals helped us find a great property. We look forward to working with her in the near future.”
-Steve N.
“Kristen is such a pleasure to work with! Her knowledge of the market, her professional demeanor, her calm approach and willingness to listen are so appreciated! This sale couldn't have gone any smoother! Thank you so much.”
-Regina T.
“Kristen helped us find the perfect house. We were out of town buyers and she always made time for us when we were able to get to SLO to look at homes. She kept us informed as to new properties on the market that were in the wish list and area of our choice. Once we found our home....she guided us through the whole closing process. If I were to buy another house in the area... I would definitely use Kristen again. She deserves more than 5 stars....5 stars are not enough.”
-Dave, Robyn & Allison S.
"Our experience with Chris Richardson and Kristen Gentry was the most positive real estate experience I have had in my life. 1) They prepared the house for sale and showed the talent and experience to bring out the highlights of the house that was magnificent. 2) They produced a brochure for the house that was magic, and I also felt that they spent money out of their pocket to do one of the best advertisings. 3) They have the experience to handle the ups and downs of negotiations between the seller and buyer. 4) They listen to your needs and work to satisfy. 5) They do know and understand the true pricing of the current housing market. 6) Kristen kept us informed of the buyers needs and wants and handle all of the transactions with the utmost integrity. 7) I don't know them personally, I'm not related, but for sure I will give them 5 stars plus If I have another house to buy or sell, they are the team we would pick.
