Kris Kesling-Hays, Preferred Properties of Sarasota
Sarasota, FL
Kris Kesling-Hays is a broker with Preferred Properties of Sarasota, helping buyers and sellers on Florida's west coast. She came to real estate from mortgage banking, and she uses what she learned in lending to help clients negotiate their transaction and handle the details that carry it through to closing.
Home is Whitfield Estates in Manatee County, right on the Sarasota County line, which makes it easy for her to work listings and home searches anywhere from Palmetto to Venice.
Buying or selling a house means a long list of tasks and a stack of paperwork that can be hard to follow, and Kris is at her best in exactly that part of the job. She also loves looking at houses, from their architectural styles to the touches owners add to make a place their own.
