Testimonials
Jonnie G.
This brought me to tears. I could never express what it means to me when I hear that I was able to help make a positive difference the life of someone. Real Estate is my profession, but my passion is to help others… and the two will always go hand in hand. Thank you so much for your kind words, Jonnie. They mean the world to me.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Kristin to buy our new home in Payson, AZ, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Kristin was an absolute gem. She guided us through every step of the process with professionalism, patience, and a wealth of knowledge.
Kristin’s expertise in the real estate market was evident from our first meeting. She took the time to understand our needs and preferences, ensuring that we found the perfect home. Her insights into the Payson community were invaluable, providing us with great information about local amenities, schools, and activities.
What truly set Kristin apart was her dedication and personal touch. She was always available to answer our questions, no matter how small, and made us feel confident and supported throughout the entire journey. Her friendly demeanor and genuine care for her clients made the home-buying process not only smooth but also enjoyable.
We are incredibly grateful to Kristin for helping us find our dream home in Payson. If you’re looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly cares about her clients, we highly recommend Kristin. She is simply the best!
Dawn S.
We learned a valuable lesson. When looking for a home, use a local realtor. We started off with a realtor a colleague recommended. After one phone call to explain what we were looking for in a home, we never heard from him again.
So we researched local agents in Payson, and were fortunate to come across Kristin. Since we lived outside the area, we had a few calls with her. She took the time to understand our wants and needs in a home. She set us up to receive email notifications of homes on the market that fit our requirements.
She was available to meet with us when we came to town, and to show us several homes. No pressure was ever applied to “pick a house.” Kristin made sure we knew she’d be around for to help on our buying journey, no matter how long it took.
When we found a home, she worked with the home inspector, the home builder, and the seller’s agent to get all our questions answered.
Since Kristin is local to Payson, she has the knowledge to answer questions, or knows where to find them.
You can’t go wrong working with Kristin.

Kristin does real estate like a BOSS. She has represented us on several deals and we are always impressed with how she just makes it all happen.
It’s quite possible that she’s a ninja and I cry in my cereal because I want to be just like her. Maybe someday but for now, I’m happy just to call her when we need the services of an absolute EXPERT. You will not be disappointed with her services.

Kristin is amazing! She took my call later at night (9:30pm!) and responded immediately to all my inquiries. She wrote the proposal send it to me by 10pm and submitted it to the buyers as soon as I signed it. She then took care of everything else! I have been in the home builder’s business for 40 years and worked with several agents. Kristin is the best I dealt with during my career.

Donald O.
We listed our home with Kristin and had a offer soon after. While our buyer’s agent was extremely difficult to work with, Kristin handled it professionally and assisted in moving the process along. Kristin responds immediately to phone calls, emails and texts while providing timely updates. I strongly recommend Kristin to assist in selling your home.

We were the lucky ones. I emailed ERA 10 years ago about looking to purchase our first home. Kristin responded. She is attentive, active, and willing to answer your questions and concerns. She is very determined to work for you and with you. She knows the process of home buying at any level. We have gone back to Kristin for her expertise, attitude, kindness, and pursuit of the hunt!

“Kristin is the bomb! If you are looking for a house in the Payson area look no further because Kristin is the absolute best! No we are not related! Lol We do appreciate the help Kristin gave us to find our dream retirement home in Payson. We currently live in SoCal and couldn’t come to AZ at the drop of a hat easily and Kristin did not care! We communicated throughout the whole process and though we searched for more than a year Kristin stuck with us until we found our new home! We are greatful Kristin stuck with us and feel she found us the best possible house for us and our needs. We truly appreciate the job she did with us and since have referred Kristin to many friends. I’m sure you will find Kristin as helpful and diligent as we did! We will use Kristin in the future for sure if the need arises and will not hesitate to refer her to any of our close friends or family when they need help. I hope this did not sound too cheesy but it is an honest review of just how good and awesome Kristin is at her job! Thanks Kristin for being so fantastic!!”
Ryan O.
I have worked with Kristin buying and selling three homes in Pine. Every time, Kristin was incredibly responsive, thorough, diligent and fair to all parties in the process. She is an outstanding real estate agent and ERA Young Realty & Investment is a great brokerage. Thank you, Kristin and ERA Young!
Bonnie M.
Kristin was able to help me purchase my creekside dream home in Kohl’s Ranch. She answered questions day or night and always responded in a timely fashion. When it came time to move it, she was even there to help “unload” all the contents of the house that had been left behind. She was there from start to finish, even sharing recommendations for trade services. I appreciate her as a professional and consider her a new friend. Thank you Kristin
Donna C.
Kristin is a jewel, cut Above the rest! She helped us in purchasing not one, not two but three investment properties in Payson, AZ. Kristin is great to work with, excellent communicator, strong negotiator and amazingly organized. She’ll definitely go way above and beyond the average real estate professional to help you either find a home or sell the one you have.
Sharon Mc.
Over the past ten years, I have bought and sold two houses in Payson. Kristin has been my realtor for those purchases and sales. I wouldn’t think of using anyone else. She has provided outstanding service and support. So easy to work with – and she works for you.

“We just closed on a house with Kristin Croak by our side. WOW! What great customer service with excellent communication. Her expertise and knowledge allowed us to make very valuable decisions with an amazingly positive outcome. Thank you Kristin, we will definitely be using you for all of our Real Estate needs.”
Shelby Wesley
“If it wasn’t for her, I don’t know what I would have done through the Escrow process! I was an emotional wreck and she handled it so well. I also had kind of a unique situation– I was buying a house and surprising my husband. I know this is unconventional and most people that knew were giving me a hard time about it, but Kristin was on-board for my plan and helping me make my dream come true without judgement.”
It was a good experience working with Kristin. She helped me during my purchase of property located several miles outside of Payson. I live out of state so it made it a bit of a challenge. But Kristin was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Kristin was awesome to deal with, she found the perfect house for us and made sure we were kept informed all the way through the purchase process. I am still impressed that every time I contact Kristin with a question she always gets back to me promptly and has provided a great list of support contractors that every new homeowner needs. Way to go Kristin, you knocked it out of the park for us. Thank You.
Kristin Croak has been our realtor in Payson for approximately five years. We have bought and sold multiple rental properties through Kristin, and feel like she is the right person to get the job done! We have turned into great friends, which makes the relationship even more valuable. We would highly recommend
Kristin for her professionalism, efficiency and delightful personality. You will not find anyone better! And you will not be disappointed!
Kristin has incredible knowledge and a deep love of Payson. Her enthusiasm is infectious. Every question we asked was answered with in-depth information, expert facts, and a sense of wanting to do us well. She kept our needs and desires at the forefront, and assisted us in learning more about Payson. I strongly recommend she be contacted if you desire to settle or sell in Payson. Whether seeking a large, estate type home, or a small tiny home, Kristin is the expert you will enjoy meeting and learning from. She KNOWS Payson, and cares for customers. She is a jewel.
Kristin is a very enthusiastic real estate professional who did a great job helping us sell our cabin in under 2 weeks. She immediately hired a professional photographer who took some amazing pictures of our property and our listing was posted by the week end. She showed the property on numerous occasions even though it was about a 30 minute drive from her office in Payson. She also hired all the necessary contractors (termite inspector, sewer inspector, painter, title co, etc), stayed in touch with us consistently, and did a good job keeping everyone on track for our sale to complete on time. I definitely recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a real estate professional in Payson and the surrounding area.
“Kristin was two steps ahead throughout this entire experience. Selling an important and memorable house is also extremely emotional and Kristin was efficient in every detail making the sale process as smooth as it can be. She is the only realtor I would ever use to buy or sell a property!”

Kristin is an incredibly likable and friendly person. This was apparent from the moment we first met her. She did everything she could to make our cabin buying experience work- and it did!
Yes, there were obstacles, there always are, but Kristin stood right in there with us, kept in communication with us, and again- made it work. We got our cabin!!!!!
I would highly recommend Kristin to anyone interested in buying a home, or a cabin in the Payson area. She knows Payson inside and out, and I cannot tell you how helpful this was since we really didn’t know much about Payson except that we liked this one cabin.
Truth be known, I really feel like she was more of a friend than a realtor throughout the entire experience and this was very important to us.
Thank you for everything!!!!!
We were referred to Kristin by Zillow when we contacted an agent on piece of property we were interested in. Kristin immediately contacted us and listened in what we were looking for. She and a fellow real-estate agent in her office, Susan Slenk, worked on our behalf and were able secure a cabin we were very
interested in at a very good price and we successfully closed on it in under 30 days. Both of these individuals are very knowledgeable of the area market conditions and were responsive to their clients needs. Highly recommend them.
We required alot of hand holding as we were moving from another state and Kristin did just that. No matter how many questions we asked her (and we asked ALOT) she answered. From start to finish she was there for us, including a virtual tour of our move in (as we were out of state) and waiting at the
property when we drove out to give us the keys on a SUNDAY! So so helpful WITH EVERY DETAIL of the home purchase. We couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you Kristin!
She is a professional in every way. Prompt response. Evaluated property, got it ready for the market with excellent feedback along the way. Due to her vast knowledge in the related disciplines, she was able to assess and resolve minor problems in the process. Home was sold in less than a week.
Kristin has a wonderful can do attitude and is a total professional! She know the local market very well as she lives in the area; and, it’s obvious she loves what she does! Our home sold in less than two weeks and we had more than one offer! She’s the best!
Showed 2 properties, gave us a tour of Payson neighborhoods that might interest us, gave us a market assessment of our house. Professional, knowledgeable.
Kristin is a joy and fun to work with. Her knowledge of the real estate market in and around Payson was extensive and her advice on housing in the mountain communities was invaluable. She helped in every aspect and was very attentive to our needs. I would highly recommend Kristine for all your real estate needs.
Kristin always gives 110%. She listens to what you want and doesn’t give up until you have achieved your goal. Her clients turn into lifelong friends not merely a acutance. I have been with her when she just started till now that she has mastered her profession. We have closed over 14-16 deals together. I have had others to choose from, however would never leave the best. She earned that all on her own. She definitely puts her clients first.
Kristin was a joy to work with. She listened to our ideas, of what we were looking for, and did a wonderful job of finding those houses. She was always so pleasant and upbeat. Really made house hunting an enjoyable experience. Her knowledge of the area is such a bonus. She shared this knowledge with us and
it continues to be helpful. We love our new home and would certainly recommend Kristin to anyone house hunting in the area.
Kristin’s professionalism and expertise is extremely valuable. Her advice is Solid Gold and based on a solid foundation of experience. Because of her patience and resolve we avoided additional expenses and she had foresight to anticipate
a few significant property deficiencies which were subsequently identified and resolved prior to close of escrow. Thanks Kristin!
Kristin Croak was extremely valuable in my purchase of a home in Payson Arizona. Her knowledge of the area was incredible. She showed me numerous homes before I decided on the home for me. Even when she had a busy schedule she found the time to show me homes. She is tireless. I found Kristin on Zillow and looked at her credentials and decided this is the realtor for me. I
appreciate all her knowledge and effort. I picked a winner in Kristin Croak. Thank you Kristin
We had the property previously listed for 6 months with very little activity. I kept asking the agent to market the property, to no avail. Kristen listed the property marketed over several platforms and SOLD the property herself in a short amount of time. She is not JUST a listing agent, she gets out there and hustles! I have bought and sold many investment properties and this was as smooth a transaction as I have ever encountered.
Kristin was so patient with us, as our situation was a bit long distance. She always returned our calls, emails, and texts promptly, and never failed to answer our questions, or soothe our concerns. She is quite personable, and we hit it off right away. She is fun, and knowledgeable about the area, which was nice, as we had only camped and vacationed in the area sporadically through the years. We are looking forward to being full time residents now.
Kristin is an expert on the Payson area communities and she really listens to what matters to you as a home buyer. She made looking for a home a joyful experience. Her motto is, “I start it! I finish it!” and we didn’t realize how important that was when coming from out of town. She was there to help arrange inspections as well as to give advice on local companies. She is a strong advocate for you in every step of the process and is a person of integrity. We would highly recommend using Kristin Croak as your realtor!
Kristin Croak went above and beyond to resolve any issues that arose during the purchase of our property. She made herself available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. She continues to help us with any questions or issues that we have, long after the completion of the purchase. I have worked with many agents over the last 10 years both in selling and purchasing properties and she is by far at the top of the list
Kristin Croak has represented us as a seller and lister for several homes in Payson and California. Kristin has worked magic in this volatile market and met our demands each and every time. Her reputation, knowledge, experience and above all honesty has keep us coming back. Kristin Croak has become a trusted member of our network of friends. Thank you Kristin for all you have done for us!
Kristin was my third contact for an agent via Zillow. The 1st two: one sent back some “canned” information and no follow-up and the other never returned my emails.
Kristin was “on it” from day one—both email and telephone follow-ups. He and her associates in her office made sure all our questions about the area and the process of land buying were answered and answered timely.
Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, too-hard working, and fun, Kristin makes Arizona and the Rim Country look great!
Kristin was very helpful along with her broker in solving a huge problem I had . I was under the impression the home I purchased had central air conditioning , well it did not.Kristin stepped up to the plate and installed a brand new central air conditioning unit !! I would recommend her highly .She has your back.
