I've known Krista for a number of years as a nursing informatics and healthcare technology professional. She is passionate about leveraging technology for safer care and improved outcomes, and combining this passion with enabling at risk populations to live in their homes safely through the use of advanced technology. Krista always executes flawlessly on her goals and not only demonstrates deep passion in doing so, but she also does so in a very caring, compassionate, and professional manner. She is smart. vibrant, results driven, and very client focused. I know her clients will be extremely pleased with the experience of working with her for their real estate needs.
Krista, we would like to thank you for your efforts. Your guidance was outstanding on a somewhat difficult aquisition of a very nice property. We were very impressed with the way your presented yourself, the way you presented the properties, the way you presented Michael Saunders & Company, your complete covering of all details, your responsiveness and your true graciousness. We liked your open approach to innovative thought. You have our highest recommendation.
Buying property in Florida can be a daunting exercise. The environment, weather, regulations and logistics can overwhelm Mid-westerners looking for a winter home. With Krista and the resources of Michael Saunders, the complexity melts away. You can find your dream home and Krista will walk you through all the rest. Our experience in buying a Florida home could not have been more happy and uplifting. Krista is tech savvy so that most things can easily be handled from a long distance via email and phone. The same optimism that leads to finding your new home remains intact right through closing.
After we interviewed with Krista and Johns we were certain this team was the right one. They were very knowledgeable, committed and extremely personable. Our confidence in them was proven correct when they brought in buyers within two weeks of the listing and during the course of the negotiations provided constant help and attention. We cannot imagine anyone providing a higher degree of competence and personal attention.
We have had the extreme pleasure to work with Krista Potthast Haynes on purchasing a property for part time residence and part time rental. Krista spoke with us several times to inform both the negatives, positives as well as the potential cash flows of our new real estate purchase. Krista was so pleasant to work with. She was thorough and provided us bountiful listings. She took the time to go over each property. She was dependable and reliable in all telephonic and other communications. In short, she was awesome. So very professional, kind, helpful and dependable. We look forward to working with Krista on future property transactions.
My wife and I are planning for our retirement which included plans to relocate. We met with Krista who is the most honest and caring real estate professional we have ever met. She is very knowledgeable in her field and was extremely patient with us. Krista discussed a term that was new to us called “Visitability” which basically meant looking at a home that would meet our needs not only today but in the years to follow as we grow older. We’re looking forward to working with Krista in the future.
Krista is an outstanding realtor and a wonderful person! Knowledgeable, extremely professional, patient, and kind, she was always accessible and very supportive during the entire process of finding a new home. She truly cares about her clients as well as the greater community. It has been a true privilege to work with her. I highly recommend Krista and her business partner, Johns Knights. Together they make an extraordinary team!
I have worked with Krista in the healthcare and information systems field for several years. I have found her to be consistently dedicated, professional, and passionate about her work. She is a pleasure to work with, and I do not hesitate to bring new ideas to her because of her creativity and her eagerness to contribute to our community.
My wife and I again met with Krista regarding a real estate purchase. Again, Krista showed extreme patience with a desire that we find the home that best fits our needs. She had the patience of a saint while offering great insight about relocating to Florida from the Midwest and offered educational resources to begin the process of our purchase. Most impressive of all was Krista’s vast knowledge of Florida and real estate. We could immediately tell that Krista continually updates her personal knowledge on real estate trends. All in all, it was refreshing to know we had a true professional whom we could trust assisting us, which eliminated a great amount of stress.
The property most asked about on Useppa Island has sold and we couldn't be more excited about what the future has in store for such a unique and high-profile home, and the wonderful family who will make it their own. Over the past couple weeks, Useppa Property Company has assisted the new owners to acquire a property they've had their eyes on for some time. Thanks to the listing agents, Krista Potthast-Haynes and Johns Knight of Michael Saunders and Co. Boca Grande, what could've been a very complicated process went through without a hitch. We've kept the details of this sale close to the chest for some time now out of respect to all involved, but now that it's closed, it's a pleasure to be able to share the good news.
Krista is a true real estate professional! From the moment my husband and I met her, Krista always had a smile on her face. We had several properties we wanted to see and she was as excited to go see the properties as we were! Krista isn't pushy. She gives you room to roam, to talk, to look in silence. If we had questions, Krista would makes notes, answer what she could but if she didn't have an answer for you, she would get back to you with one within 24 hours. Krista made us feel comfortable through the entire transaction. We knew we were in good hands with Krista at the helm! I'm a real estate broker in Vermont and I'd be glad to have Krista on our team!
Our experience with Krista was nothing short of magical. She took the time to really get to know our family and our needs regarding our new home. We had several tough to find requirements for our dream home and she found one that covered every single one for us! Buying a house is extraordinarily stressful, but with Krista it was entirely worry free. She only took us to homes with real potential. We found our home quickly and couldn't be happier. She took the time to explain all the inspections and what to look out for in a Florida home. Being previous home owners from California, this was key to making us feel educated and secure in our investment. Our children adore her and so do we! Our new home is everything we've ever wanted, and it was made even better by the experience we had with Krista and Michael Saunders and Co. Thank you Krista for finding our family the perfect home!

My wife Sarah and I had been looking at real estate on and off for a few years and renting in the meantime. We got to know Krista at Michael Saunders who immediately understood that we were not just tire kickers but we were still developing our ideas about neighborhood, communities and sized and shape of house we were interested in. Krista was super brisk and efficient setting up appointments and was immediately responsive by phone or email. Never aggressive, just pleasant and enthusiastic. Once we intended to make an offer, Krista, her teammate Johns and the resources of Michael Saunders really kicked in. Offer and counters were handled quickly, the deal was struck and on a very short timetable, Krista and Johns set up various inspections, got original floor plans, arranged a survey, helped with insurance ideas and found several contractors willing to to help us estimate the costs of the few repairs we needed to make. Throughout, responsiveness and helpfulness were the watch words. We closed in 6 weeks, thanks to Krista and Johns. Peter and Sarah S

I liked her, she's quick, ready to help you. If I purchase in Boca Grande, I would feel comfortable with her. She is one of the better agents I have worked with.
I’ve been fortunate to call Krista Potthast Haynes a friend for many years. She’s the most enthusiastic person I know and it is a pleasure to be in her company. I would say her success is due to her never ending desire to learn, hard work, and integrity. Krista loves all things Florida, and in particular, the special place that is the southwest coast of Florida.
