Ratings & Reviews

Kyle Kircher

I recently purchased my first home with the help of Kristen, and I cannot recommend her enough! From our first meeting, Kristen took the time to listen to my needs and preferences, and worked tirelessly to find properties that matched what I was looking for. She was always available to answer any questions I had and went above and beyond to ensure that the entire home buying process was as smooth as possible. Kristen's knowledge of the local real estate market was impressive, and she provided valuable insights that helped me make informed decisions throughout the process. She was also a great negotiator, and I felt confident that I was getting the best possible deal on my new home. The home we purchased had 15 other offers in 1 day! Kristen knew exactly what to do do to make our offer stand out. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience working with Kristen and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy real estate agent.

Working with Kristen during our home buying journey was an absolute pleasure! Her experience and expertise was exactly what we needed in order to successfully buy our first home. She took the time to explain the home buying process with us and was always willing to meet with us during times that worked best with our schedules. Her responses were prompt and she was always punctual for all appointments. She has a vast knowledge of Pittsburgh and the surroundings areas which was huge for us! I do not think we would have been able to land our dream home without her guidance and knowledge of the field. I would definitely recommend Kristen and the Compass team to anyone looking for a wonderful home buying experience. Even in these difficult times, Kristen made the process extremely smooth and I am grateful to have found our home with her!

"I cannot say enough good things about Kristen and this goes beyond being an amazing realtor.. She is an amazing person. I have owned my own business and have managed others & I would kill to have an employee who is 1/2 as dedicated to the job as Kristen is to her clients. I’m so grateful she represented us. I’m beyond impressed with her dedication and I’m envious of her work ethic. She never stops. Buying & selling a house is rarely, if ever, easy, and it’s more than just numbers and knowing how to negotiate, it’s also important your realtor get the emotional part of the process. The balancing act of keeping the emotional side of her client in check and being able to get the numbers right, dealing with the other side, negotiating and knowing when it’s time to either go for it or it’s time to walk away is a very hard task to take on. Kristen nails it every time. Like I said before, she’s remarkable. Definitely an above and beyond realtor! I love this girl!!!"

Donna San

"Kristen is an amazing realtor that you want on your side in any real estate transaction. She is professional, knowledgeable and so helpful. I am a first time homebuyer and I couldn’t navigate this process without her (and frankly wouldn’t want to). She always listened to what was important to me and had my best interest in mind. She clearly communicated with me throughout the process and answered all of my questions. She was so patient as I was looking for the right home and when I finally found it she (along with the rest of the amazing team at Howard Hanna) helped me get from offer to closing in less than 30 days. I seriously can’t recommend her enough!"

Carolin Tobin

"I was fortunate enough to meet Kristen at a random open house several months ago, which sparked the awesome experience of buying my first home. I emailed her about a listing I was interested in, we went to see it the next day, made an offer the day after, and it was negotiated/accepted the following day. I can’t imagine that first time home buying is ever as smooth and seamless as she made it. If I ever sell my home, she will be the first person I call to be my agent! (So please never retire) :) She treats her clients as if they are her own family. She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her work. I was confident in her skills and knowledge 100%, and it made my experience so much easier. I will be recommending her to anyone and everyone who will listen. She is thoughtful, generous, kind and just a wonderful person (as well as agent). Thank you for everything! "

Cathryn McCay

"Kristen was great to work with. She responds quickly, is very knowledgeable, answers your questions thoroughly and guides you through the whole process with your best interest at heart. She really shows she cares about you. We were glad we selected her to help us sell our home!"

Jake Grefenstette

Kristen Dorr is the best realtor we could have possibly asked for. From start to finish she was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. I really cannot begin to describe how above-and-beyond she went to help my wife and me find our home. We love our new place, and would recommend her 1000%!"

Dino Misetic

"I eagerly chose to work with Kristen because of her exacting professional skills, knowledge, & clear effort to listen to my needs & find the home I love. She has successfully found & recommended a home that checks most if not all of the boxes! I felt very comfortable working with Kristen and she's demonstrated an incredibly attentive attitude to my many, many, many, constant questions. To some extent, she played a bit of a psychiatrist and assured me that things will work out - and they did with stars and stripes! As a project manager working in a career that requires attention to detail and quick pace, Kristen not only won my full confidence with her high performing personality and business acumen, but also friendly and energizing spirit. Ultimately, Kristen negotiated an excellent deal for me (and my dogs) and made this process fun and overall positive. I will surely work with her again and will recommend her to everyone looking to find a home! Thanks, Kristen - you're a rockstar.

"It was an absolute pleasure working with Kristen. She brought an air of positivity and professionalism to every showing, meeting, and phone call. The flexibility Kristen displayed in working with our busy and unconventional work schedules was greatly appreciated. As a realtor, Kristen quickly picked up on our likes and dislikes and knew how to adapt to future listings/showings. She was available whenever we needed to answer any question big or small and provided much needed guidance in navigating a successful closing. We wholeheartedly recommend Kristen's expertise to any and all future home buyers!"

Barbara Brown Lynam

"Mmmm…you won’t find a better real estate agent than Kristen Dorr! She crosses every T and dots every I, and beyond…she’s a dream to work with! Kristen made our quest delightful, easy, and simply perfect! Her knowledge of her craft and organizational talents exceed expectations! Thank you Kristen; we appreciate all you do!"

Kelly Grace

"Kristen is genuinely amazing!! As first time homeowners my husband and I were more than a little intimidated by the whole process, but Kristen made it effortless. From helping us find listings that fit what we were looking for, to helping us navigate the offer and mortgage process, and everything in between. She was endlessly patient with our thousands of questions and her positivity that we’d find our dream house around the corner was infectious. We could not have done it without her!!"

Andrew and Leah Schwanekamp

"Kristen Dorr is an exceptional realtor and an amazing person. In this uniquely competitive and stressful housing market of 2020-2021, it can be an emotional rollercoaster to buy and sell a home. With the right guidance and support, the frustration of the home buying experience can be alleviated. This is our experience with Kristen. My wife and I started looking for a new home in early 2020 at the emergence of Covid. We were pretty much flying solo at the time and randomly chose to attend an open house on a whim. From the first introduction, Kristen was both warmly inviting and professional. We liked her immediately. She kindly offered to take our email information to keep us up to date on new listings. She was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and informative, and her availability is unrivaled. I hope, and have great confidence, that you can have just as amazing of an experience with Kristen. What an amazing individual and privilege to have known and worked with Kristen."
