" From the moment Taylor got in contact with me and my wife he has been on the ball as far as showing us houses, dealing with my bank and has consistently kept me up to date with any and all things pertaining to us buying our house.

" Jenn helped us find our dream!!! It took months and going back and forth but she never gave up or lost patience with up. I would TOTALLY recommend her to everyone! You won’t be disappointed. "

- Robin B.

" We are so thankful we had Kristi to help us in our home search. She took the time to really understand what we were looking for and kept searching until she found the perfect home for us. We always appreciated her ability to look at the details of a house that we would miss as we were looking and highlight the pros and cons for us. We also really appreciated her advice when making an offer. House hunting can be stressful and emotional and it’s really easy to get caught up in all of it and make an offer that isn’t financially responsible. She made sure when we were ready to make an offer that we weren’t overpaying and was always looking out for our best interest. Can’t say enough about how thankful we are that we had Kristi to navigate us through this process. "

- Craig Dogger

Not only did Jenn sell our house she found us the perfect new home and negotiated it to an AMAZING price! Jenn anticipated our needs and explained each step of the process in verbiage we could understand. Above all Jenn was professional and very responsive to calls.

If we couldn’t make it to see a house, she would send videos or FaceTime to be sure we didn’t miss out on a house! I honestly can not say enough good things about my experience working with Jenn Shelburne! "

- Erin M.

" (FB Review) Lori is amazing. In March we met with her to discuss selling our home. Other homes in the neighborhood had been going under contract in a matter of weeks so we decided to try and see what happened. She set up the photos and put our house out there as “coming soon” in the middle of the week and on a Friday night it went live. In TWELVE HOURS the house was shown and we had an offer - the perfect, full-price offer. Lori did her research, was so strategic about pricing the house, talked to me DAILY, prayed for us every step of the way and answered EVERY question we had. It was an incredible experience, an easy experience and I would recommend her WHOLE-HEARTEDLY. She made the process absolutely a dream. I am also happy to answer any questions about Lori and what it’s like to work with her, for anyone considering her as their realtor. "

- Kimberly

" Kristi is everything I want in an agent... She is absolutely the best there is! "

- Magdelena Rene

" (FB Review) We found a phenomenal property in Waco that Lori helped us obtain! She said from the beginning that this was “her client’s house”! After a slight setback having to be a backup offer, things ended up working out! It was our house! 🤗 Now we had to hurry up and sell our other home in Hewitt. 😬 Things were moving fast!! 😳 Our Hewitt home was shown 3 times, sold in 5 days at our asking price!!!! Lori was so very patient with us and went that extra mile!! Lori also communicated with us every step of the way! (Very important) Buying and selling at the same time is definitely not for the faint of heart!! Highly recommend Lori for your real estate needs! She can get you thru it!! 😊 (feel like she is now a member of the family!) ❤️ "

" Trent is amazing!!! We had been on the market for six months with a family member of ours representing us, but there was a conflict of interest with said family member. After parting ways with said family member we were on the market for a month on our own and we were trying to see houses and got put in connection with Trent. Trent was amazing right off the bat he didn't expect us to sign any paperwork with him unless he found us the house he was so supportive listen to what we wanted didn't push things or specific listings for his company he's genuinely there for you and what your family needs. I will recommend him to everyone he is so amazing. Now we have our first house and we are so excited. Thank you Trent. "

She went ABOVE AND BEYOND in every way and I am happy that I chose her for this sweet family!! Thank you Kristi!Ashley Key Realtor Matchmaker "

- Ashley Key

" As first time homebuyers Trent was a wealth of information and a joy to work with. He was on top of things making sure that nothing on the realtor side was falling through the cracks, but also on the broker side, which we needed. He was always available via phone call/text/email and did a great job of making sure we were comfortable and felt informed. And to top it off there was always smile on his face. I think it's as exciting for Trent to help find your house as it is for the homebuyer! "

- Shawn Fyke

" The Waco area is completely unfamiliar to us as we currently live in another state, so finding a realtor that was knowledgeable was of great importance to us. Jenn was that, but she also showed herself to be a person of integrity as she informed us of things a person with less scruples may have concealed. She was also very patient with us as she showed us a number of homes, again pointing out those things an informed home buyer needs to know. Unfortunately our plans changed and we were not able to buy anything in Waco, but if our plans ever change Jenn is the person we will call. "

- D. Champlain

" Trent helped me purchase my first home and I couldn’t have asked for more. He was prompt, didn’t try to show me anything I didn’t ask for, and pointed out pros and cons of each place.

" I had 5 different realtors to my home for an interview before making my choice. Hands down Kristi Baker was head and shoulders above the others. She just stood out. Somewhere in the conversation she mentioned having convictions about how she did business. That, her demeanor and knowledge of real estate made her the obvious choice for me.

" Love Kristi Baker, She made sure we knew all of this and didn’t rush us into buying a home that wasn’t convenient for our pockets unlike other realtors we spoke to that always tried to rush us into something we didn’t even like. She always considered our wants and needs and over all she is the best! We would not have this nice house if it wasn’t for her. She really takes Her job seriously and no matter what she’s doing or where she is at she always answers our calls or texts or emails. I can’t describe enough how awesome she is. Even now that it’s been over a year after our purchase we called her about a few things and she managed to save us a few more dollars on our home. So dedicated and amazing! "

We always appreciated her ability to look at the details of a house that we would miss as we were looking and highlight the pros and cons for us.

We moved in 30 days from being under contract. The process was SO easy with Jenn & when we buy our next home we will absolutely be using her in the future!

You made this process so pleasant, easy, and helped us understand each process by being patient and knowledgeable. "

Since we live in Maryland, she took care of everything for us, from taking pictures, making arrangement with our tenants for showing the condo to the prospective buyers, all the way to the closing. We never had to step our feet in Waco, all communications were handled remotely. She expertly guided us in every step from start to finish.

We appreciate you and your dedication, Casey! Highly recommend!! "

- Irma Zapata

" We live in Plano, and found Jenn was the listing agent on a property we were looking at. It turns out that property wasn't a fit for us, but she was so helpful, we had her send us some leads on other properties. She was proactive, listened to our needs, and really hustled! She met us on short notice when we were in town, and took videos of properties when we couldn't come to Waco to see them in person. She found us a great property that we purchased before it hit the market. We are grateful for Jenn's hard work on our behalf. "

" Kristi really cares about helping your family find the perfect home. "

- Margo Hays

" Before choosing a real estate agent, I conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice based on the investment they make into selling the property (time and effort, not necessarily financially) and how they promote their listings. Kristi was highly recommended, her social media presence was strong, and I could tell she put a lot of work into her listings. Kristi was excellent every step of the way. I thought our home would be difficult to sell, but it sold within ten days at full asking price! She is very knowledgeable and service oriented. She made sure all of our questions were answered promptly and took the worry off of our shoulders. She even took care of us after the sale when I left some things at the house. I cannot say enough good things about Kristi. I would rate her higher than five stars if I could! "

- Robin Hines

" From the first time I met Jenn, she was very informative and helpful, as well as super friendly. She really listened to my desires for a family home and offered useful suggestions and tips. Jenn was very patient with me as I changed my mind throughout the house hunting process. She always responded promptly to my messages and calls, and was on top of things throughout the whole buying experience. Overall, it was a very pleasant and fun home-buying adventure with Jenn "

- Meghan M.

" Jenn was way more than just a realtor! By the end of it all she became part of the family. She helped my family and I in more ways than most realtors do. From helping us pick out flooring to picking paint colors, she went above and beyond! Jenn is super honest about everything and won’t sugar code a thing! She fights to make sure her clients get the absolute best. We completely adore Jenn Shelburne and recommend her, she’s the best in the business! "
