We thoroughly enjoyed working with Krista on the purchase of our new home. Navigating such a competitive market was daunting, but Krista’s calm demeanor instilled confidence throughout the process. Krista consistently stayed one step ahead of us and kept everything exceptionally organized. Her in depth market knowledge and professionalism is exemplary, and we felt incredibly fortunate to have her as our partner in this journey.

We feel very fortunate to have selected Krista Lofthouse as our realtor. She did a wonderful job organizing the showings at our available time, and helping us with the inspections and negotiations. She always answered all our questions and concerns in a timely manner. We fully recommend Krista for all your realtor needs. It was a pleasure to work with her.

Krista Lofthouse was my agent in connection with selling my house in New Albany. I have utilized many agents over the course of my life, on both the buy and sell side. Krista was by far and away the best agent I've ever had. She was instrumental in developing the plan for preparing my house for the market, including working with my decorator, Elle Young, to make recommendations on things to update prior to listing and coordinating all of the contractors needed to make those changes in a short time frame. Krista was also spot on in analyzing the appropriate listing price and handling the negotiations with the prospective buyers (resulting in a sale above list price). Krista was simply fantastic from every perspective and a complete pleasure to work with.

Krista provided us with fantastic service and helped us find the perfect house. She was patient with us as we explored different home options ranging from new builds to existing homes across different areas of central OH. Then when we found the perfect home she guided us through all of the different things that could be included in the offer and it was submitted within hours of us touring the home. Through the closing process Krista and her team helped us with a timeline of what needed to be done and she was always willing to take a phone call if we had questions. Even through closing she was happy to provide contacts of different vendors to do work we might want done on the house. We could not recommend Krista and the Raines group more as they made the process of buying our first home fantastic

Krista Lofthouse and her team did a flawless job in quickly and efficiently selling my home. I've looked at a lot of homes online for sale and the pictures and presentation of my house for the listing were far and above others! Excellent pictures and staging of decor. The entire process was pretty seamless. The team at The Raines Group were excellent with communication. I knew exactly what to expect at every step of the process. I would highly recommend this group! Thank you for everything!
