Tell Us Your Story

Kristy always gave us honest responses to our concerns.

She offered a variety of houses for us to view. She came to us prepared w information needed to make decision. We trusted her to guide us through the buying process. I would select Kristy to help us in our next purchase

Jennifer Randall

Our 26 year old son lives 661 miles from us and was looking to buy his first home in the Port Wentworth/Savannah area.

I reached out to Kristy with no recommendation or knowledge of her skills. I explained his needs and mine and hoped she could point him in the right direction. From day one I was so impressed with her knowledge of the area and how quickly she had several houses to show him. The communication between Kristy my son and me were always immediate. I really feel like she provided mother's advice in my absence and for that I am most grateful. Everything went smoothly as we believe in the old Kentucky saying "if the good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise!" Well... My husband and I moved him in last week and were so pleased on the choice she helped him make. We would highly recommend Kristy as your "go to girl" when searching for that house to call your home.

Shelly S

After several months in 2020 trying to locate a home for my SCAD student son for college, Kristy found this ideally located, remodeled, 2 bedroom home that fit location and budget perfectly.

We purchased the home on Kristy's word and did not visit until the move-in date. The home fit our needs wonderfully, and we spent 3 years owning the home while our son finished school. Kristy's guidance provided us exactly what we were looking for during the college years. After college, Kristy listed the home for sale for us and did a superb job negotiating the contract details, and our closing occurred as scheduled. Prior to the listing going live, Kristy coordinated a few contractors to clean and provide landscape services. We were thrilled with everything Kristy did for us, and highly recommend her to look after your Savannah real estate needs. We could not have been more happy with Kristy's services.

Working with Kristy was a smooth and easy process.

Being 16 hours away, it was good to have such a solid and resourceful person "on the ground" in Savannah. Highly recommend Kristy and Cora Bett Thomas Realty for any home buyer or seller in the Coastal Empire. I also recommend CBT's Property Management team as they were excellent to deal with while our house was occupied by a tenant, who eventually bought the house. Kudos all around for the Cora Bett Thomas team!!

Working with Kristy was an absolute pleasure.

I had bought my first house with her, and once more she was a great asset, being straight forward, accommodative with our schedules and very knowledgeable on both the buying and selling markets

Victor Bello

I can't say enough great things about Kristy Valdez.

Since she first started showing me properties in 2015, she has been the epitome of professionalism, and her communication and expertise are beyond measure. She is always willing to answer my questions and go look at properties for me (I live out of state currently) at any point when something comes up for sale that tinkles my fancy. She has helped me buy two properties thus far, and I know there will be many more in the future. Thanks for everything, Kristy!

Meredith Stevens

As a first time buyer, I had many questions about the process.

Kristy was very helpful and patient throughout the process, and all of her recommendations were professional and reliable. I highly recommend her services.

Felipe Ortega-Gutierrez

Kristy did a great job, followed up with lender when needed.

Obtained repair quotes after inspection.

Raquel Ortega

Kristy was very patient with us as we had some specific needs.

We went under contract on 3 properties, the first 2 which were cancelled for various reasons. Kristy found us our 3rd property and made it happen. She put in a lot of work to get us to the finish line, and she was definitely looking out for our best interests. We would highly recommend Kristy to others.

Frank Malone

Kristy was exceptionally patient and professional going between seller and his rep, my loan process contacts, my lawyer and me.

Feel like she took the same type of ownership in doing the best for her client as if they were family. Wonderful experience.

Emma & Matt R

I've worked with numerous real estate agents in the past, and none compare to Kristy Valdez.

She is very successful at her job for a reason. She gets incredible results both on the buying side and on the selling side, all in a timely, professional, and honest manner. I have referred her to numerous friends, colleagues, and family members and will continue to do so. Great job, Kristy!

Jason LaVecchia

Kristy,Thank you sooo.

...much for keeping me sane during this "crazy" time! You're cool head and professional service made all the difference! Thank you so much, again!

Carmen R

Kristy is BY FAR one of the best realtors we have come in contact with!

She is the sweetest human and so relatable! She listens to what you want/need and makes it happen. Even after selling she got us in contact with a realtor in Illinois where we are buying another home. She was never bothered by all our questions (there were A LOT!), she never missed a call or text, and made sure we knew what we needed to know! We will continue to sing her praises to everyone that is buying and selling in the area! We truly adore her as a realtor and friend!

Keely Simon

Kristy has sold 2 homes and helped us buy one home.

She also is working with my parents. We love her and will always choose her for our needs

Emily Randall

Kristy was the absolute best to work with and got everything done in a timely manner so that we could get under contract and make sure everything was a smooth transition for our move out of state.

Blake Rose

Thank you, Kristy, for staying on top of the sales process, suggesting repair people, giving practical suggestions.

Although we would have made 4-5 times more money buying here in Orange county, we had a richer and more rewarding experience visiting/seeing Savannah with its rich history (it was smart to survive the Civil War intact as Atlanta did not). And "meeting" wonderful people from Gary Kornegay as property manager to ending our Savannah 'adventure' through you. We wish you every success!

Eli Ghelfi

Excellent agents and great negotiation, responsiveness and communication.

The only thing I'd improve on is the fact that information flow should include both the listing and selling agent cc'd and both teleconferenced on all forms of communication instead of a single point of contact that passes information along. Crucial pieces of information are often lost, forgotten or not transmitted at all when there is a "middle-man/woman" between the buyer and seller. Otherwise, GREAT company to deal with. They took care of everything for me.

Bradley Baldwim

Kristy was by far the best, most knowledgeable and attentive realtor we have ever encountered.

Caleb Cabral

Kristy did a wonderful job for us and made the entire process go as smooth as possible.

She is great to work with and we will definitely use her in our future transactions.

Dallas Washburn

Kristy Valdez is seriously the best realtor out there!

She is trustworthy, communicative, proactive, and thorough. I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home as she took care of me as both a customer and a friend!

"Kristy assisted me in finding the perfect home in my solo transition from Virginia to Savannah, August 2020. My original plan to rent was altered to buying a home. I contacted Kristy and she exhibited just as much excitement as I felt. She made me aware of properties that became available prior to my move and during it. I rented a short term apartment to become better acclimated to the city, my new job, and allow me to physically look at properties. She advised me in different aspects of home buying and more in depth, home buying in a sub-tropical climate. Kristy went above and beyond during the actual closing as I could not leave my new job at the drop of a hat. She reached out to me and explained, in depth, each process. Her professional enthusiasm and friendliness made the entire process much easier than it could have been. I am grateful that I chose to call this Cora Bett Realty in June, and even more thankful that Kristy was my realtor."

"Kristy is the best. Truly. Professional, knowledgeable, and most important, patient. Kristy was instrumental in finding a home for us. We had been through 4 other agents before we finally were lucky enough to be referred to Kristy. Coming from the Bay area, her knowledge of the Savannah area market was everything we were looking for. We have been in our home a year now and can not recommend Kristy enough."

"My wife Patricia and I met Kristy Valdez through our adult son, Michael. He said she was extremely valuable to him in his search for a house to purchase earlier this year. We hired Kristy based on Michael's input and are we ever glad that we did. She was gracious with her time and tireless in her efforts in helping us find just the right house . We both would strongly recommend her to any house hunter. She is extremely knowledgeable about the current market and very professional with all her inter-actions with us. Thank you Kristy from Tom & Trish."

"Kristy is a fantastic realtor, very attentive and detail oriented. She was patient with us and more than willing to accommodate any needs we had. Relocating from out of state is hard as it is, but working with a deadline is even more stressful. Kristy was available for whatever we needed. Made the stressful situation more bearable. If you need a realtor, look no further."
