We talked to at least 5 realtor to sell our house and I told my husband I want her to sell our house and yes! we made the right decision! Krista SOLD our house so fast and gotten us more than we expected. Krista is amazing and very knowledgeable of what she does, and up today she still helping us even though the transaction is done. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much Krista Murchison and the rest of the OIC team! and thank you Nextdoor Driftwood Meadows for the recommendation.

Krista is a phenomenal real estate agent, and so knowledgeable. She was able to walk my family and I through a pretty daunting home purchase that went was starting to get real rocky with our lender closer to escrow. She really fought for us and came up with a lot of good ideas in order for us to secure a house for my family and I. She is really on top of the home sale/purchase and really cares for those that she works for. It would be very difficult to find a real estate agent better than her in the Santa Maria Valley area.

We chose Krista Murchison, OiC Real Estate Services out of 71 different real estate professional contacts I had collected in my phone over the last 5 years!

Krista is a kind and thoughtful agent that looks after your interests and goals as though you were family. She and her staff were always accessible though out the process. Krista happily worked around our crazy schedule with our infant in tow. The online and printed presentation of our property played up the key features of the home and community, clearly emphasizing the desirability to prospective buyers. The professional photography made us want to buy our own home all over again it looked so eye catching. Thanks to this skillful execution our property received multiple strong offers and went
