My recent home sale was the second time I worked with Kristin. Once again the experience was stellar and I can only rave about her knowledge of the market and her professionalism. I got more than what I thought I would get and honestly it could not have gone any better. Will definitely work with Kristin again!

Kristin was great! Her local knowledge is what made the entire home shopping and purchase experience a success for my husband and I. The insight she provided on the neighborhoods as we shopped made narrowing our choices down easier. She was always available when we needed her valuable input. Kristin's warm friendly attitude made for an overall joyful experience. She was as happy as we were when we found the right home. Highly recommend working with her if your looking to purchase in Baltimore!

Kristin was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was prompt and available, and she made it feel like my purchase was the only thing I was working on. Even outside of the homebuying process, Kristin was helpful in orienting me to the neighborhood by identifying grocery stores, restaurants, bars, etc. This entire experience was made so much easier by her. Cannot recommend Kristin enough!

We chose Kristin because she was highly reviewed and she had experience buying homes herself and renovating them, which was our goal. Kristin proved she has the skills, experience and network to help identify opportunities, create attractive offers and handle issues that arise while under contract.

Kristin is an absolutely a great realtor- we are first time home buyers and looked from Feb 2021 - June 2021, with about our 9th offer being accepted. Kristin was very quick to respond whenever we wanted to see a house (in this market you need to move very fast), and when we wanted to put an offer in worked to get it in asap. We had a million questions and she always answered them fully. The market was quite unpredictable in as bad as it ended up being, but she helped guide us in making our offers more and more competitive based on her other accepted offers and discussions with other realtors, while never pushing us to do something we were uncomfortable with (no inspection for example).

Kristin also has a large knowledge of the I-95 corridor of Maryland which was a great resource to tap into when evaluating homes. Her network also made the process once we got accepted so much smoother (which we really needed after the 8 rejected offers!). From our attentive loan officer to an extensive and through inspection agency, once we got accepted it truly felt like smooth sailing. My partner and I would highly recommend Kristin as a real estate agent, and if we ever decide to sell, we look forward to working with her again.

I own a local home staging company and have been working with several realtors for many years and Kristin is one of the best! Not only does she live locally to a lot of her listings, but she is one of the most knowledgeable agents I know about the local market. She prides herself in working with the best vendors to give her client's the best value and experience when listing and buying with her! I strongly urge you to use Kristin during your home selling process because she will constantly go above and beyond for you! Kristin, thank you for being one of the best agents in your area and we love working with you every chance we get!

Wow! Kristin is extremely knowledgeable about all things regarding the real estate market, and really went out of her way to help me successfully buy a new home in a very competitive market. I\'m sure she must have put in many extra hours to make sure my home buying experience was successful, and she was always available to answer my questions. If you\'re looking for a Realtor to handle your home buying or selling experience in this area, then look no further -- Kristin is the person you want to work with. Excellent work, and very highly recommended.

All the awards that Kristin is winning on a consistent basis state wide doesn’t even scrape the surface of what a hard working, dedicated to her clients, and shark she is! Kristin got me such an amazing deal on my home I am sitting on a literal gold mine. She listened to my every want and need, dealt with me super hormonal and 9 months pregnant finding me the best schools in the county my child will attend all while putting my wants and needs first. She went above and beyond. I had a previous agent that sold herself as one that would do everything and more, someone in the business for 20 years. The frustration I felt constantly was on another level. When I consulted with Kristin she promised to listen to me, and give me everything I wanted, put my mind at ease and showed me the reason she is one of the top agents in Maryland. She may be big but her values and care for detail and attention are on a small time scale, making you feel like you are the only person she is working with. She is attentive on every detail to your every need. She knows the Baltimore county, Howard county, and Anne Arundel county inside and out. When she showed me the home I ended up falling in love with on the internet listing she promised me I would love it, and it was the absolute last on my list and when I walked in I looked at her (super hormonal and a pain in the butt) and said this is home! Not only did we beat a competing offer, she got me a great deal with closing help and went above and beyond being there EVERY step of the way! And it doesn’t stop there! Kristin is so involved and ever loving to her clients she (pre covid) did amazing events for almost major holiday from Easter Bunny photos and brunch, thanksgiving pies (the pumpkin is my FAVORITE ever), Christmas cocktail hours, Valentines surprises, summer bashes with bounce houses and amazing food, all family friendly! You are forever a friend not just another ‘client’. I couldn’t reccomend Kristin enough. Don’t be like me and waste valuable time then to realize you need a shark that will get the job right the first time! Kristin is and will be with me through any real estate move in the future, for myself, friends, and family- not only because I love her as a person but I wouldn’t ever expect anything less than what she showed me from anyone - and I’ll be honest- she’s the only one that can deliver on my expectations 10 fold! Don’t go anywhere else! If you don’t believe me let her constant recognition state wide show you!!

We just closed today after almost 2 months of house hunting where we sifted through over 200 potential houses. We had very specific needs and were working between 3 different time zones so we knew this would be a challenging search. The most important step was to find the absolute best Realtor possible. There was no doubt that we would be looking for one that was in the top 1% of their field but we also looked to unbiased reviews posted on places like Google or personal referrals. We spent 2 weeks vetting out agents that had been referred to us that met our criteria. Some were not easy to reach in person, others could not back up all their credentials when we checked their certifications and others could not produce their own metrics as we requested but rather relied on the numbers of their team that they worked with. Kristin stood out as the obvious choice through this process. Within a 24 hour period she was able to provide us with the number of houses she had sold in the past year, 6 months, 3 months and the last 30 days as well as how many properties she had sold or represented in the specific zip code that we were looking for over the course of her career. Never once in the past 7 weeks of dealing with her did we have issues of not being able to get in touch regardless of date, time or holiday. This was especially important in a competitive housing market as every second counts. We appreciated her experience, candor and resourcefulness in doing her job and we were impressed at her integrity which showed itself on several occasions. She has an eye for detail and an attentive ear which allowed her to quickly evaluate properties that came up on the market and know whether or not they would be a good fit or not - even when the description and pictures looked so promising to us. It took a few home visits to quickly see that she really knew what she was talking about. The market was insane during our search with houses going under contract within hours of being publicly listed and bidding wars against cash buyers offering 2 week closes going $80k over asking price. We were getting desperate when we had our own cash offer that was beaten for one that went $51k over asking price. Through it all, Kristin was reassuring and guided us through the process until we were able to find our home. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of having a good realtor when it comes to looking for a home and we wholeheartedly endorse Kristin as an outstanding choice!

Wow where do i start! My husband and I never imagined how stressful it would be buying a home in the middle of a seller’s market and not to mention a global pandemic. It was common for there to be multiple bidding wars and I can’t think of another word for how to describe the market but “insane.”Houses were gone within a day, sometimes hours.
When we found the house that we couldn’t live without, Kristin immediately got in touch with the seller’s
realtor. She worked well past business hours to create our contract because she knew time was of the essence. We did everything Kristin advised us to do for the contract to be appealing. There were close to 18 offers for this ONE house! I won’t ever forget the happiness my husband and I felt when we received that call at 10pm from Kristin. Our offer was chosen!!!!!
At closing when I asked the seller’s realtor why they choose us, she stated that it was Kristin’s determination. She said that Kristin was willing to work out whatever needed to be done to make it happen. I have a profound respect for what relators do and the importance of being knowledgeable, experienced and driven. Kristin holds all those qualities and so much more. Thank you for all you have done Kris, words can’t express the gratitude we have for everything you have done for us! We are so happy in our beautiful dream home❤️

I never imagined buying a home in the midst of a global pandemic, let alone in a seller's market but as a first time homebuyer, Kristin made it all worthwhile! She was extremely patient with my husband and I as we didn't know much about the market or the process of buying a home. Buying a home in a seller's market was challenging due to how competitive it was but our first and only offer was accepted and it was all thanks to her! We are so happy in our new home!! I highly recommend Kristin if you're looking to buy a home!

As first-time home buyers, we were nervous from the get-go. However, we were fortunate to have gotten a referral from a friend to Kristin Brillantes.

The complexities with the home we fell in love with included, but were not limited to: some required TLC and a hard deadline for sale from selling side. Kristin’s knowledge of the area (Howard County, MD), and for distinguishing what ‘can be fixed’ and ‘actual issues’ really came in handy when we were working our way through the sale process. From the initial offer, to inspection, and through the post-inspection negotiations, Kristin was on top of it, and we were comfortable knowing we were in good hands. There was some back and forth between us and the seller during the post-inspection negotiations, but Kristin navigated the ship to a deal to best of our interest and we closed as happy first time home-buyers. We’d easily recommend Kristin to anyone looking for an experienced realtor in the area.

Kristin was highly recommended by our friends that had a wonderful experience with her help in selling their home. Kristin understood the uniqueness of our home and made us feel very comfortable during the process. Selecting Kristin was the best decision we made. She helped us to get the best price for our home, understood the local market and the type of buyers that would fall in love with our beautiful property. Her photographer took fabulous pictures to show the home in the best way possible. She kept us informed and on a level footing as we went through the process. Kristin had local providers that responded timely and a competitive cost for items that needed to be addressed. In short, we sold our house in less than one week. THANK YOU Kristin, for all your effort in helping us sell!
We highly recommend Kristin Brillantes!!!

To start, let me say that I “never” write reviews. I’m so so busy that when I have any free time, writing a review is not on my list of things to do. However, I was so pleased with Kristin’s work in selling my house that I needed to let the world know. By the way, I initially spoke to 5 other agents – sadly, they all seemed to have a naysay attitude about the prospects of the house selling, in terms of both timing and my asking price. On the other hand, Kristin had an energetic, optimistic outlook on my timing and price prospects and guess what? She was spot on! Had I hired any of the other agents it would have cost me big bucks!
Her recommendations and strategies all led to a high number of showings and ultimately, a buyer at near my asking price in a short period of time. She even informed me that I could probably sell the property for a higher price if I held out a little longer. In doing so, she literally placed my interest above her own. I realize that is what agents are supposed to do, but I doubt many agents would recommend bypassing a sure sale (and a quick commission) in order to meet my original price goal.
I could write about Kristin for another hour or two, but you get the point. And her skills go far beyond demeanor, advice and strategies. She handled the entire process seamlessly, including negotiations, inspection, staging, etc. No issues arose whatsoever. She always kept me updated via text and email and was available if I had any questions, which were few, since everything was managed so well. I have bought and sold many properties in my lifetime and this is my very first time writing a review. Kristin is simply the best.

We used Kristen to sell our house. I believe she took the time and steps to accurately price our home along with providing a professional photo session that obviously contributed to our house being sold so quickly.

We worked with Kristin to sell our Maryland home when we were moving out of state across the country. She was critical to getting our house on the market: from scheduling staging, helping us get contractors into our house to fix issues when we were 500 miles away, and dealing with all sorts of scheduling issues from the buyers.

We heard about Kristin because she sold a neighbor's home for an excellent price, incredibly quickly. I'm very happy that we did - our experience was easy and we got a great offer. I highly recommend Kristin as a realtor.

What a flawless experience with purchasing my first rental property with Kristin. What comes to mind first is her accessibility. In addition to investing, I work a profession which sometimes demands much of my time and energy during odd hours. This was never a concern with Kristin. After making initial contact and making my intent known, she made herself available to answer questions and address other concerns which arose during the search, contract period and through closing.

I never felt Kristin ever push me in a direction I was uncomfortable with. At every decision point I appreciated her willingness to explain my options. Although I read and immerse myself in real estate topics daily, her practical experience and application of tradecraft was beyond anything I could learn through text in a book. There isn’t a source that can substitute for someone with a genuine and extensive knowledge of a market.

Being still somewhat new to real estate myself, she was adamant to lead me in the right direction. She continually told me her own personal investing journey and went as far as sharing her mistakes so I may avoid the same troubles. Although I came pre-approved with a lender, she referred me to a more competitive local lender; which helped me save to stretch my finances to do more deals down the road.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Kristin and I can’t repeat her name enough to my circle of friends in and out of the area. It’s awesome to know there are other young professionals adamant about their success and are not afraid to work hard through completion of a deal. She is extremely personable and I more than look forward to conducting more business with her in the future!

Kristin is a wonderful buyer's agent. She worked with my wife and I when we were really only in the early exploratory phases, willing to let us take our time and not trying to make the quick sell. When we realized we needed to adjust our price point, she adjusted her search as well to accommodate our needs. During the purchase and closing, she was a great advocate for us and helped us negotiate a lower buying price, and then helped maximize the effect of our property inspections. She is generally very available by phone/text/email (we had a few late-night calls), responsive, and simply works extremely hard for her clients. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Kristin recently bought and sold a home with Kristin. The service and care Kristin provided during the process was nothing short of AMAZING. She came to and accessed my house before the sale. Gave me a few tips on things to do before my house went on the market. My house was listed and sold within 12 hours of the sale and sold for over the asking price.

The purchase of my new home had quiet a issues to contend with on the seller side. But Kristin worked hard around the clock and played hard ball to get the deal done. She was there to help every step along the way, from the inspections, title, lender selection etc.

Bottom Line, Kristin is an energetic, hard working agent that is excited about her job. That worked around the clock during the home buying and selling process. I would highly recommend to anyone making a move.

Working with Kristin for the past few months in our home buying experience has been a very positive experience overall. Kristin made our home buying experience so much easier, she took away the anxiety that came along with searching and buying a new home. Her knowledge of the local area has played a very vital role during our home searching phase. But other than her impressive knowledge, negotiation skills, and professionalism; the one that stands out the most is her honesty and support for her clients. We liked working with Kristin very much because she was never biased, she never forced or pushed us to buy a home that we did not want; it was always what we felt comfortable with and most of all the home that we always wanted. Kristin supports her clients a 100%, always answering the call and any questions we had. Her dedication and hard work in making sure we were looked after was evident in all of the work she did. She understood that buying a home would be one of our biggest purchases and she respected that and took it seriously. That is why Kristin has done a tremendously good job and that is why we would always recommend her and even look forward to work with her again in the future in case we need her services. We are very happy now with the home we chose. Thank You Kristin for everything, for your support, dedication & help!!!! We hope that many more clients would have the same opportunity and rewarding experience we had with you in buying a new home. God Bless!!!

Kristin helped me sell my marital home and purchase a new home of my own. Communication with my ex-wife was strained but Kristin navigated seamlessly to ensure everyone was on board and in agreement with what was going on during the sale transaction. Home was under contract in less than 40 days and that included listing on a holiday weekend when minimal, if any, traffic or interest was expected. On the purchase side we looked at all options available and she provided relevant advice and opinions on each property and location to help me decide on my new home. Both sale and purchases went very smooth with no unexpected surprises and I never felt in the dark as to status and next steps. Listen to her recommendations on Mortgage Lender, home inspectors, title companies, etc. as they were all spot on and provided the same level of excellent service as Kristin. Whatever your needs, you won't be disappointed working with Kristin and I couldn't recommend more highly.

ur experience with Kristin as our realtor was fantastic. Her knowledge of the Baltimore housing market was more than impressive. She seems to know about every house in the area and was even helpful in explaining the city's tax abatement options for us (which ended up saving us thousands per year). Kristin quickly learned what we wanted and didn't waste our time showing us properties that were not of interest to us. She communicated with us routinely and was never hard to find when we needed her. Always responsive, never "pushy". As a sales leader in a different industry, I appreciate a sales professional who is knowledgeable, responsive and brings value to their customer. Kristin did all of this and more. She's truly a professional and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. She has a way of making this stressful experience a positive one!

There's no doubt our outcome for successful selling and buying was due to Kristin for her expertise, dedication, long hours, and guidance throughout the whole process! The hardest part of the buying process is knowing what you want and turning that into getting what you want! Fortunately for us, Kristin made the process painless! We knew the house we wanted but the fear was if we would get it. Kristin used her expertise and quick judgement to keep us in the running with the competition until we made it to the top with our offer accepted, making our dream home a reality!!! Kristin, Mike and I can't thank you enough!!!! If you're looking for a Realtor, look no further... Kristin Hope Brillantes will not disappoint!!

Kristin is the best! I will recommend her as an agent to anyone who is looking to purchase a home. She made our home buying experience so much better by going above and beyond the call of duty. Any time we had questions about the process, whether it was the appraisal, inspection, lender or just crunching numbers, she was immediately available via phone or email. She also was incredibly flexible in terms of showing us houses. My commute from work to where we were looking was a good distance and she was always willing to meet us to show us houses in the evening. Buying a house is very stressful, but when you have Kristin on your side you know it will go as smoothly as possible. Like I said before, Kristin is the best! Thanks for getting us in our new home! We love it!

Kristin is awesome. I was flip-flopping for a while about whether I was going to buy or rent, but she was very patient (and also persistent in following up). She didn't pressure me, but gave me the option of meeting up with her to look at some houses, and within three visits I had not only decided to buy but zeroed in on the house that I wanted. She showed me a number of houses that were in line with what I had asked for, and also threw in a few extras that she thought might be a good fit -- and lo and behold, one of them was perfect, even though I wouldn't have known to ask for it on my own. Once I made the decision, we had a very short turnaround time to get the offer in, but Kristin helped me beat out several other offers and was very responsive throughout the entire process. She also had to be quite flexible with me, as I was traveling a lot at the time, and she made sure that I was aware of all the paperwork that was needed and ran interference for me several times with the lender around the timing of various steps of the loan application process. The seller turned out to be quite a handful, and Kristin was tough in negotiations with her and her agent when necessary to keep things moving forward. She's also just a pleasure to spend time with, and I feel like I gained a new neighborhood friend in this whole house-buying venture. Definitely A++.

Oustanding, friendly, honest, and always available. Kristin made home buying a fantastic experience. I personally enjoyed her real/honest nature towards our home search. Never once did she turn into that cliche salesperson trying to rush anything and everything. Once you detail what you want, she finds it and more. A wonderful agent from start to finish.
