Your Wish List

Let's start with a daydream. Together, we'll construct a list of must-haves and everything else that goes into making your dream house a reality. Looking for a view of the sea? Do you want a kitchen large enough to entertain friends and family? Do you need a place to hold your workshop? We'll go over all of the details and dig in to make sure nothing is overlooked. Then, with your help, I'll prioritize your goals and needs, from "must haves" to "good to haves." When it comes to neighborhoods, locations, size, and architectural components, this will allow me to focus on the details.

A Realistic Budget

Determining what you can afford is one of the most important aspects of the home-buying process. I refuse to show my clients properties that I know will put them in financial jeopardy. We'll work together to get you pre-approved with a lender, then examine (and review again) your current situation and the type of lifestyle you want to live once you buy a property. Do you like to travel? Weekly dinners at the town's newest restaurant? Do you have any plans to expand your family, whether through children, pets, or other means? All of these factors must be explored. Remember, this is a long-term investment that requires extensive research to ensure that you are comfortable (and pleased!) about your purchase.

The Proposal

Now that we've laid the groundwork, the ball is in my court to deliver to you a thoughtful proposal of properties that fit within your budget and achieve your top desires. Research, expertise, and exclusive access to insider applications and strategic partnerships allow me to present to you options that will get you excited to pursue. I may even find you off-market properties! Along with this, you can anticipate a full review of what's to come in order to ensure we manage your expectations down to the most minute detail. As your top real estate agent, I understand the real estate transaction is a huge deal, so I want to ensure you are fully prepared and understand what's next, so there are no surprises.

Client Testimonials

  • “I cannot thank Kristina Nagel enough for selling our home in only 8 days.

    When we weighed in on the timing of selling our home during the COVID 19 pandemic and the unknowns and risks that came with it, we were quickly assured by the safety practices Kristina offered and put in place. Her attention completely set our minds at ease. From start to finish everything was efficient, professional and smooth. Kristina Nagel’s extensive knowledge of the Las Flores community not only helped sell our home, it sold the neighborhood. Her experience about the process and negotiation skills took the stress out of selling our home. Kristina’s response time and communication are first class. Her expertise, dedication, integrity and her "going above and beyond" work ethic is exemplary! I highly recommend Kristina Nagel for sellers and buyers.”

    Debbie

  • “Kristina Nagel explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from making the offer to working with a mortgage broker, to getting our offer accepted (in a hot seller’s market), and finally from the escrow process to closing.

    We were first-time home buyers and we appreciate her expertise, negotiation skills, and her upfront honesty. She kept our best interests at heart and was on top of every detail and/or question we had, big and small…which brought us great peace of mind. She really does care about her clients and I would now say we are no longer clients, but friends. We are so excited to have found a home, in a great neighborhood with great schools to raise our family in. I recommend Kristina Nagel for all of your buying or selling needs. Thank you, Kristina!”

    Bobbie N

  • “Kristina Nagel represented us as we looked for a home starting in the late fall of 2020.

    It was the beginning of a crazy time for home buying across the country and even more so in the areas we were interested in (Dana Point and coastal Laguna Niguel) with cash buyers winning with five offers we put forth - we were the 'back up' offer on three of the five but it was clear that going the traditional route wasn't working. We closed on our home in April and I believe we would not have had the success if Kristina had not found a home not yet on the market. I plan to use Kristina when we sell our home and would recommend her without reservation.”

    Carin W

  • “Kristina’s knowledge, expertise, responsiveness and integrity is superior to anyone I've encountered in my years of buying or selling real estate.

    Kristina was extremely easy to work with and she did an amazing job getting my offer accepted in a hot seller’s market! There were 8 offers on the table and in the end, I got my dream home with Kristina’s strategies. She worked diligently to ensure that every question was answered promptly and that all of my needs were meet throughout the negotiation to the close of escrow. I highly recommend Kristina Nagel.”

    David

  • “Kristina found the perfect house for our family to rent in a highly sought after area, near top rated schools and lots of amenities.

    She successfully negotiated a lease with the landlord on our behalf. We were very happy with her services.”

    Ann

  • “I appreciated her no-nonsense approach, sense of humor and overall professionalism.

    She represented herself and her organization very well! Of special appreciation was when she stood up to a rental owner who clearly indicated racial bias, which I do not say lightly, toward me during the submission process in spite of both me and my significant other being beyond well qualified. Additionally, she stood up to what can only be described as a nosy neighbor who over stepped his bounds on another occasion. Those are just two examples of how Kristina proved her integrity to me.”
