What people are saying


"Kerry is the best she really is the best she explains to you everything that you need to know and makes this so easy."


She is very loyal and a very awesome realtor. We felt very comfortable with everything that she was doing for us and we really appreciate the time and effort that she put out for her clients, she is the best realtor that anyone can ask for I would highly recommend Kerry Thomson for any house buying or selling. She has her own team. She is her own person and she is awesome. Thank you Kerry for everything. We really appreciate it.

"Kerry Thompson is hands down the BEST real estate professional I have ever had the pleasure to meet and entrust my home buying AND selling decisions to!"

I have benefitted from Kerry’s knowledge, expertise and advocacy on both sides of a real estate transaction during challenging markets and she is who you want in your corner whether you are buying or selling. Kerry has built a solid team and has a vast network that she taps into to help her clients navigate the entire process, end to end. She also goes above and beyond extending her network to help with financing, necessary repair work and the actual process of packing and moving. When you work with Kerry, the resources are seemingly endless, helping you feel at ease during what can be a complicated process and stressful time. There is no one I would rather work with, and I highly recommend Kerry and her team to anyone!

"Kerry will go over and beyond any type of expectations. She treats you as you are part of her family not just a client."

I never had to make a phone call to follow up on any documents or appointments. She had the work done asap ready to go. Outstanding on all levels. Professional, caring and so much knowledge to help our process to purchase go so smoothly
