With the assistance of Happen Houston, we recently purchased our dream home in the Tanglewood area of Houston. Our search proved to be rather lengthy due to the highly competitive Houston housing market, our desire to be in a specific area, and we were doing it long distance from out of state in Indiana. Our agent Kristen was outstanding. She consistently kept us informed via email, text and phone when potential properties meeting our criteria came on the market. Her knowledge and understanding of the Houston area was tremendously helpful. Her response to our inquiries/questions was always without delay. She offered sound advice and objective input (never pressure) when requested. Kristen was professional, friendly and genuinely kept our needs and desires first and foremost at all times. Highly recommend!
As a home buyer, I was very pleased with the transaction. I don't usually use a realtor on the buy side, but Kristen Tabberer won me over! She went above and beyond to find us what we needed and the team made preparing for the transaction smooth and easy.
Hiring Kristen as our realtor to purchase our next house and also to sell our current one was a wonderful experience. My wife and I thought Kristen to be excellent at her job! She was quite knowledgable and very attentive with any question we had. We felt like she had our best interest in mind over just making a sale. We also appreciated how Kristen would walk us through each step ahead which minimized the stress of selling and buying a home in quick succession. In short, hiring Kristen was a blessing. We would highly recommend her!
Kristen was recommended to us by a family member on a recent move from CA to TX. Our initial meeting with her was in December/25 and then after our house in CA went under contract, we flew to Houston in February/26 to accelerate our search. Kristen did her homework, visiting in person all the communities where we found homes (single story only) that we felt would be a good fit and made suggestions for other home builders and communities she thought would work for us as well.
As we were out of State for most of the process, Kristen acted as the face of our transaction from start to finish. She was attentive to detail, communicated very professionally with various builder's sales reps and guided us through the home purchasing process in a way that reduced the stress of a long distance transaction. We appreciated how Kristen did the walk through on the new home in our absence, pointing out a number of the items that needed to be corrected prior to moving in. She was supportive after closing, visiting the home a number of times, recommending contractors and coordinating some upgrades that we wanted to make after the house closed.
I should also point out that she also has a keen eye for the financial part of the process, finding a potential error on the initial Settlement Statement that resulted in a nice credit in our favor that was missed by the builder.
All in all, it was an excellent experience and we would not hesitate to recommend Kristen to family, friends or anyone else who is planning on making a move into the greater Houston area.
We could not have been better accompanied in this process! Thanks again for your patience and advice. We felt so privileged to have you as our realtor.
Kristen was incredible all along. Smooth, great insights and top negotiator. We really felt taken care of through the whole process. Thanks again for being with us from the start and your flexibility with our change of plans.
Kristen was extremely helpful and made a stressful situation easy and comfortable...she went out of her way to make it possible for me to purchase my first home. I would recommend her to anyone!
