Kristen Dorr-MBA

    • It took us a year to find the perfect property and Kristen was with us every step of the way. She tirelessly answered our many questions and concerns, promptly returned every call, text, and email, and went to bat for us when our seller failed to disclose crucial details about the property. She is warm, engaging, thorough, and truly enjoys what she does and she felt like one of the family throughout the process. You want Kristen on your side when youre ready to buy or sell!! We give her our highest recommendation.

      - Sheila Hyland
    • Kristen in an excellent agent- extremely responsive and proactive in addressing your needs and looking out for you as her client. Always available and "on it". Even after the sale of our home closed, she was supportive and helpful of things that came up in the move and settling in. I have used other agents in the past as both a buyer and a seller, and this was by far the best and easiest experience I've ever had. Would absolutely recommend and use again.

      - Jenn Snavely
    • Kristen was an incredible agent to work with. She is attentive, responsive and a great negotiator. We felt supported throughout the entire home buying journey. I would recommend her highly to anyone. Thanks again Kristen!

      - Katherine Anderson
    • I had the pleasure of working with Kristen on a recent listing of mine, and I couldnt be more appreciative of the transaction. She brought an excellent offer that was strong in a multiple offer situation and met exactly what our sellers were hoping for. From start to finish, the transaction was smooth and stress-free, thanks to her and her awesome buyers. Agents like Kristen make our industry better, and I would be thrilled to work with her again in the future!!

      - Erica Ondash
    • I would highly recommend Kristen Dorr to help you find your new home! She worked tirelessly with us showing us every home that we asked of her. Our texts and phone calls were always returned promptly and she never made us feel like we were bothering her.When it came down to it she herself found us our dream home! Weve been here for almost a week now and couldnt be happier and we owe it all to Kristen! I cant say enough good things about her. You cant go wrong with Kristen!

      - Roxanne Striblin
    • Kristen was very helpful in finding a place where both my wife and I could call home. Thank you so much. I highly recommend her to use as an agent.

      - Ken Striblin
    • Kristen was amazing throughout our process. We started just perusing and Kristen was amazingly patient with us as we navigated between renovating our old home and purchasing. One we settled in the path of purchasing, Kristen made things as easy as possible.Most importantly, she was incredibly helpful with every step, especially after we found our new home. She helped us find plumbers, radon mitigation, and other resources.Not only is she a great realtor who's resourceful and patient, she's a great person who genuinely cares about the people who've entrusted her to help them through the process of home buying. She worked more only with us but our two young daughters and our big baby of a dog.Kristen is just great all the way around. Thank you Kristen!

    • I have been wanting to write my review for awhile now, probably even before my house was sold and other properties were in the mix. 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 wld kill to have an employee who is 1/2 as dedicated to the job as Kristen is to her clients. Howard Hanna shld be so proud to have her on their side...she makes them look good!!! She is remarkable! Im so grateful she represented us. Im beyond impressed w her dedication and Im envious of her work ethic. She never stops. Buying & selling a house is rarely, if ever, easy, and its more than just numbers and knowing how to negotiate, its also important your realtor get the emotional part of the process. The balancing act of keeping the emotional side w her client in check and being able to get the numbers right, dealing w the other side, the negotiating and knowing when its time to either go for it or its time to walk away is a very hard task to take on. Kristen nails it every time. She has such a respect & empathy for all of the emotions that go into the buying/selling process and takes time to listen and understand whats important to her clients and is very good at keeping everyone realistic about the process as well as up to date on everything (I dont know when she sleeps). That being said, as nurturing and warm as she is, Ive also seen her be able to represent her clients as though shes mama bear protecting her cubs. Shes a fighter that I would always bet the house on (no pun intended ;). Every single client to her is special. She wants nothing but the best for her clients and will do whatever she can to make it a successful and stress free (as possible) process, even if that means shes helping you stage the house or raking the yard (yes, this is true)... shes all in. Like I said before, shes remarkable. Definitely an above and beyond realtor! I love this girl!!!

      - Susanne Morgan, Seller, Mt. Lebanon, PA
    • I definitely recommend Kristen Dorr to anyone looking to purchase or sell property. Her honesty, true dedication and caring sets her apart in the real estate industry. In addition to her highly personable nature, she is thoughtful, intelligent and hard working. She genuinely wants to find you a home where you will be happy. With a background in Business and the experience of living and raising a family in Mt. Lebanon, she knows what it takes for home buyers to achieve their dreams. You will be impressed with her ability to point out not just a homes weaknesses or strengths, but its potential. Kristen brings professionalism and sensitivity to everything she does, and Im certain that anyone who works with her will have a positive experience.

      - Ann Entress Lachenbruch, Sewickley, PA
    • If or when, you find you are in need of a real estate agent, there is no one better qualified to represent you than Kristen Dorr. Not only is she hard-working and professional, she is very pleasant to work with. Kristen makes sure she is on time and well prepared for any appointment, showing or inspection. She also pays great attention to details and you can always count on whatever she tells you. We were very pleased to have been associated with Kristen and would again if the occasion arises.

      - Natalie and Arthur Garvey Seller of Property, Whitehall, PA
    • Kristen was amazing, she helped us with the entire process of purchasing our first home. I liked her as a person from the very beginning but she quickly showed how knowledgeable, honest and attentive she was. She really made the process smooth. Kristen explained key things to notice, to ask of experts and who to reach out to when we needed a bit more help which was so appreciated. Definitely recommend working with Kristen. Her Howard Hanna team was also very easy to work with and made this crazy experience just a little bit simpler.

      - Mackenzie, Mt. Lebanon, PA
    • 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 cant 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!

      - Caroline, Mt. Lebanon, PA
    • Kristen was a very nice and polite person from the beginning. I met a hardworking lady who never became tired from my constant phone calls and questions that I had about my first home purchase. I had some issue with the seller but thankfully Kristen Dorr, my realtor, was able to help me resolve that issue and help me move forward. I took possession of my home and everything looked just as Kristen had described it to me. I am a first time home buyer and my experience through the process went extraordinarily well thanks to her. I would recommend Howard Hanna to anyone who would like to buy a home and I would especially recommend Kristen Dorr as a realtor. Thank You Very Much Kristen Dorr I Wish You Good Luck And Good Health Moving Forward.

      - XHELAL SHABANI, Mt. Lebanon, PA
    • 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 couldnt navigate this process without her (and frankly wouldnt 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 cant recommend her enough!

      - Donna San, Dormont, PA
    • I eagerly chose to work with Kristen because of her exacting professionalist, knowledge, and clear effort to listen to my needs and find the home I love. She has successfully found and 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 perfoming 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!

      - Dino Misetic Marketing Operations Manager, Forest Hills, PA
    • My wife and I met Kristen at an open house that we stopped by. Didn't find the right house that day, but found the right realtor. After going through a very chaotic transition from NYC back to western PA, navigating pending job offers, pay estimates, etc., Kristen was able to navigate all of these logistics (along with the emotions and incessant questions of being first time home buyers). We are now of course writing this review settled into our new home. Might I add, that the timeline and level of responsiveness to make this as speedy, yet detailed, transaction, was top notch. She did not skip a beat, like I mentioned, indulged all our questions, worries, and anxieties with such kindness and professionalism.

      - Dan and Steph, Mt. Lebanon, PA
    • Mmmmyou wont find a better real estate agent than Kristen Dorr! She crosses every T and dots every I, and beyondshes 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!

      - Barbara Brown Lynam, Southpointe, PA
    • 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 wed find our dream house around the corner was infectious. We could not have done it without her!!

      - Kelly Grace, Baldwin-Whitehall, PA
    • 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. This is where we first met Kristen. 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. Through a variety of homes that we viewed under Kristen, we became quite close and learned a lot together about the way that the market has changed. She was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and informative, and her availability is unrivaled. She would answer our emails and texts any hour of the day and makes you and your family a personal priority. Aside from Kristen helping us find our dream home, which we plan on staying in forever, she shares the home buying experience with you as if she were part of your family. Once she knows specifically what you are looking for, not only does she take meticulous note of your preferences, but she shares in your excitements and disappointments. She makes the entire experience feel familial. As a nurse for a living, above most I know what it means to be sympathetic and empathetic. Kristen is a nurse of realty. She partakes in your emotional experiences and truly is in your corner of the ring. Although, our experience was a long arduous one, we dodged a lot of bullets and couldnt be happier through our experience and end result with Kristen. Every experience is unique and personal. I hope, and have great confidence, that you can have just as amazing of and experience with Kristen as what we have. What an amazing individual and privilege to have known and worked with Kristen.
