Cristi took great care of us! My company transferred me with a short notice and we needed to sell quick. Cristi and her team did a fantastic job getting the house ready for market. She got it sold quickly and at a good price. I would absolutely recommend Cristi to anyone who is in the market.

Kara was perfect! She was proactive and went above and beyond in all things. We could not have asked for a better agent!

Kara did an absolutely incredible job!!! We moved here from Minnesota so we had to do everything remotely, not to mention we were first time home buyers, and she made everything go so smoothly! The market was crazy so whenever we saw a house come on the market and wanted to virtually tour it, she would be over at the house right away ready to show us. She also stepped in when the previous owners were skeptical about us not being able to see the house in person. She has been so willing to help in every situation, I wish I could give her 10 stars!

After contacting a few Realtors from Burleson, Alvarado and fortworth we decided to search in Waco for our new home location. So after talking with Meredith we decided to have her represent us. Mrs Kelly did a wonderful and professional job representing us. Because of her hard work the wife and I were able to move into our New home before the Thanksgiving Holiday. Thank you Meredith for your hard work and perserverence. Tina and have reached out to our family and friends regarding your Professional services. We look forward to seeing again. God bless you and your family. Meredith thank you so much for the nice picture, it looks nice on the wall of our new house. You Rock.

"Cristi is the best! Recommend her 100%!
We used her expertise over the last year for both buying a new build and selling our previous house. The home sold for well over asking after only 3 viewings during a pandemic! Skills! She did a fantastic job of advertising, made sure to get eye-catching professional photos to attract buyers and gave us expert staging advice. It was our first time selling, and she made it a breeze.
If you’re on the fence about using a realtor for a new build, I’d strongly advise it. She caught so many “fine print” items that saved us big headaches and put pressure on builders for us when necessary. She recommended an inspector who caught items we wouldn’t have noticed otherwise (like thousands of dollars of roof damage on the hew build)! Cristi also does her homework about current and future economic issues and can give smart advice on good times to buy/sell.
Now my parents are buying in Waco and Cristi is helping them as well."

In settling my mom’s estate, choosing Christi was one of the best moves we made. She laid out the process clearly for us and even gave us great sources for removing furniture and trash. She made it possible for us to handle the sale and closing from our home (over 100 miles away). She presented us with offers for my mom’s home within 2 weeks and closed a month after listing. We would not hesitate to recommend Cristi to anyone needing a realtor.

Meredith was a pleasure to work with. She went the extra mile in helping us sell our house. She conducted weekly open houses and gave us several recommendations on easy repairs/improvements that would help us sell our house fast. She knows the market well and has great negotiation skills. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!

If you are in the market for a realtor, I recommend Meredith without hesitation. She strives for excellence in all that she does. I've never worked with or heard about a realtor who provides all the services that Meredith willingly and cheerfully provided to us.
There are 2 things that are key in a realtor-client relationship: communication and marketing. Meredith kept us informed at every turn, therefore keeping us on track. Her marketing strategies are a perfect fit for your home, not just the same old standard routine regardless of the need.
Meredith basically sold our home in 1 day, even though the stats may show 3 as that is how long the paper process took in obtaining a signed contract. What sold the buyer on the home? The professional video that Meredith arranged of the house and the property. Meredith partners with only the very best extended team members as her expectations of them are the same she has for herself.... Excellence.

We were very fortunate to partner with Julia from the very beginning. She was very keen in listening to our needs and working to make the process as smooth as possible. She worked with arranging the inspectors, roofers, electricians, speaking to the seller and bringing us to the finish line and all with a friendly and professional attitude!

Cristi is the kind of realtor everyone who is selling their home deserves. She is fair and unbiased. She priced our home above the market value and got more for it then what we were asking. Her communication skills are excellent. Between Cristi and her assistant Beth we were never left to wonder where we were in the selling process. Cristi gave us good advice along the way and we were extremely pleased with the results. We highly recommend Cristi and the Waco Home Team to anyone buying or selling a home.

It was a true joy being able to work with Cristi. She was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful through every step of the home buying process. As first time home buyers, we had a lot to learn. Cristi was patient and answered all of our questions. She ended up helping us get into a great home and connected us with excellent contractors to help us make it our own. We plan on recommending Cristi to friends, family, and anyone who asks!

Kara Goble was my realtor and she is a real estate professional extraordinaire! Not only were her communication skills exceptional, but her talent at staging the home were such that I wished I'd had her decorate when I first moved in. Kara was determined in her drive to get my house sold as was evident by her masterful marketing, follow up with other agents, and her ability to listen. Kara went above and beyond in that she was willing to meet repairmen when I had a conflict, assisted me in making repairs after the inspection, and compassionately guided me through what I expected to be a stressful process, but ultimately was not because of Kara. 5 stars!

We just worked with Cristi to purchase a house and she was amazing. She really knows her stuff and the area and could answer any questions that we threw her way.

Cristi did an amazing job in getting us our Waco dream home! We are in California and buying in Waco Tx and Cristi made sure that everything was perfect with the house and the sale. We really couldn’t have done this sale without all of her help. Cristi is very knowledgeable and professional and made sure that we were kept informed on everything going on with he home and escrow. Even after the escrow closed Cristi continued to help us with finding contractors and getting things done. We highly recommend Cristi for all of your Realestate needs.

Julia Swank is truly the best ! She made the process so much easy for me and was supportive along the way! I am new to this country. I was anxious , had difficulty in communication and had little knowledge about the process , advantage and disadvantage of buying a new house/ old house . She exactly knew what I am looking for and what will be the best for me . There was a point where she told me that " I'm your advocate , so don't hesitate if you need anything or are unsure , let me know " . I am so appreciative of all Julia did for me , and if anyone is looking to move to Waco they should definitely contact Julia. Thank you Julia.

We called Cristi early on in our house hunt as she was highly recommended by dear friends of ours. Cristi did not disappoint. She quickly prepared a list of homes and wanted to make sure that she was on the right track with the homes she provided. If we were interested, she was ready to book a showing and worked with our schedules. From preparing the offer to the point an offer was accepted, she was ready to "go to bat" for us. She was ready for action at a moments notice and showed great pride in her job. She was easy to work with, cared about finding our family a home that was right for us, and she made it a great experience overall (especially with the changes taking place during the pandemic). It's easy to see why she was so highly recommended!

Building a home while living one hundred miles away was a daunting thought. Luckily, our daughter recommended Cristi McGowan to us. She was building her dream home, and she told us that her experience with Cristi was exceptional.
The process took about a year to complete due to Covid, but we finally closed! Cristi was with us all of the way. We called her often and she always made time for us. She was patient and professional, and easy to work with. We wish she could sell our house is Austin.

I absolutely cannot thank Kara enough! Being new to the area, Kara was very patient and thorough during the whole process. I originally was looking for a new home and finally settled on a beautiful piece of property to build my dream home. She was always very quick to respond, drafted the offer immediately and negotiated on my behalf. She was also very present and guided me through closing. Kara truly enjoys what she does! She is not only knowledgeable, but very easy to work with.

Christi did a great job selling our house. She even picked up moving boxes for me and delivered them. She was willing to pitch in and help, no matter what it was. She is tough and professional in handling the sale. Our sale kind of drug out for a while, no fault to Christi, more the fault of all the refinancing and volume of homes being sold. She was understanding with our frustrations and worries and was right there to help.

It would be difficult to overstate how great a job Cristi did in selling our house. Professional, personable and offering constructive straight talk, Cristi’s expertise allowed us to avoid missteps and strategically maximize our selling potential. The end result? We sold our house with two days of listing it, at a price that was more than what we asked for. If you are wondering which of a plethora of real estate agents should be the one to represent you, let me give you some helpful advice: This. Is. The. One.

I would not trust real estate with anyone in Central Texas except Cristi McGowan. She has represented me in multiple real estate transactions over the years and in the end, while I felt like things were bumpy, she always managed to smooth them out. This last sale, the ceiling began leaking literally less than 24 hours before the walk through! I panicked of course and Cristi remained calm and got everyone on it and it was fixed by 9:00 am the next day. The poise, patience, and passion she has for her clients says it all. Thanks friend!

What a great experience we had working with Julia and the NextHome team! We are moving half way across the country so our relationship started through text and emails, with plans of where or what we wanted changing about 20 times. Julia was there every time to listen and then went to work looking for properties that fit our criteria. Once we made it to Texas, she was there for every twist and turn, digging for answers to every question or concern and once we found what we wanted, working diligently to get the properties closed. She was even able to get major repairs done on one of the properties that was being sold as is! And since we were out of state for the inspections, repairs and closing, she scheduled and attended all of the needed appointments and made sure everything was running smoothly. She is honest and trustworthy! Julia will definitely be our go to realtor for all future buying and selling needs!

Meredith is the absolute BEST realtor we've worked with while living in Oklahoma. Our realtor to purchase our house was awful. Our next realtor to sell the house was even worst!!! We originally listed our home in January and 5 months later we fired her because of lack of showings and the broker refusing to have an open house. Luckily Meredith reached out to us and offered to help and give advice on what to do next. In 3 weeks we had an offer on our house above list price after Meredith negotiated our counter. We are currently in escrow and what's ironic is Meredith was able to sell our home through 3 open houses, which is something our previous realtor refused to do. We are beyond THANKFUL for Meredith and couldn't be more happy with her professionalism, competency, and determination to have our house sold before moving from Oklahoma to California. My husband and I are confident you will be in good hands with Meredith!

She truly went above and beyond to make this process as worry free as possible. She was efficient and prompt with all communications.

Kara helped my Dad and I find the perfect home for my time at Baylor. We are from out of state and could not visit the home, but Kara made sure that we felt comfortable and educated on the various properties she presented. Between handling the inspections and sending us full walk through videos, she went above and beyond. Not only was she extremely helpful in the buying process, after the purchase, she send out a handy man to replace the dead lightbulbs and install new carbon dioxide detector. Buying through Kara was a wonderful experience and we appreciated her tremendously.

A true professional. This is my second home sale handled by Kara and I have nothing but high praise for her expertise. The virtual tour was excellent; her communication with me was always quick and honest; she kept me informed throughout the whole process; and even solved a plumbing problem after we had closed. Obviously, if I ever need to buy or sell a home again in the Waco area, there is only one professional I will call - Kara.

We are extremely pleased with the purchase of our home with Cristi McGowen. Cristi goes above and beyond for your needs. This is the second time we have used her services. We will definitely use her again and send her referrals. She is amazing!

A true professional. This is my second home sale handled by Kara and I have nothing but high praise for her expertise. The virtual tour was excellent; her communication with me was always quick and honest; she kept me informed throughout the whole process; and even solved a plumbing problem after we had closed.
Obviously, if I ever need to buy or sell a home again in the Waco area, there is only one professional I will call - Kara.

Meredith was wonderful to work with. She was knowledgeable and eager yet relaxed. The home buying and selling process can be extremely stressful, but Meredith was very good at calming my nerves. She was always available to look at properties at any time. I would highly recommend her!!

It was a true joy being about to work with Cristi. She was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful through every step of the home buying process. As first time home buyers, we had a lot to learn. Cristi was patient and answered all of our questions. She ended up helping us get into a great home and connected us with excellent contractors to help us make it our own. We plan on recommending Cristi to friends, family, and anyone who asks!

Julia was a crucial piece in me buying my house, she went above and beyond with negotiating with the builder and lender and kept the deal on the tracks, I would highly recommend her for your next home purchase!

Cristi is the kind of realtor everyone who is selling their home deserves. She is fair and unbiased. She priced our home above the market value and got more for it then what we were asking. Her communication skills are excellent. Between Cristi and her assistant Beth we were never left to wonder where we were in the selling process. Cristi gave us good advice along the way and we were extremely pleased with the results. We highly recommend Cristi and the Waco Home Team to anyone buying or selling a home.

What a great experience we had working with Julia and the NextHome team! We are moving half way across the country so our relationship started through text and emails, with plans of where or what we wanted changing about 20 times. Julia was there every time to listen and then went to work looking for properties that fit our criteria.
Once we made it to Texas, she was there for every twist and turn, digging for answers to every question or concern and once we found what we wanted, working diligently to get the properties closed. She was even able to get major repairs done on one of the properties that was being sold as is! And since we were out of state for the inspections, repairs and closing, she scheduled and attended all of the needed appointments and made sure everything was running smoothly. She is honest and trustworthy! Julia will definitely be our go to realtor for all future buying and selling needs!

Cristi is amazing and works really hard to find you the perfect home at a great price. She used to work for Stylecraft builders so she has an excellent eye for structural issues in homes and how to also improve them cosmetically. She is super knowledgeable and will work around your schedule. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

We sold our house and Christi was always there to answer any questions we had. She even picked up moving boxes for me and brought them to our house. She is very friendly and caring and doesn't mind pitching right along with you. So glad we choose to use her to sell our house.

Meredith Kelley is an amazing realtor who is very efficient and knowledgeable. She is professional and always kept us up to date with everything we needed to know and were always ready to offer professional advice.
I would definitely recommend Meredith, because I know that she can produce results!
Thank you Meredith for making the sale of our home within 35 days on the market a success!

Kara did an absolutely incredible job!!! We moved here from Minnesota so we had to do everything remotely, not to mention we were first time home buyers, and she made everything go so smoothly! The market was crazy so whenever we saw a house come on the market and wanted to virtually tour it, she would be over at the house right away ready to show us. She also stepped in when the previous owners were skeptical about us not being able to see the house in person. She has been so willing to help in every situation, I wish I could give her 10 stars!
