Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns is, without question, the best real estate agent you could ever choose. The hardest chapter of my life began with a loss I never imagined I’d face—my wife’s passing—and I was left with the overwhelming responsibility of selling our home during an incredibly difficult time. I asked Kristin to handle everything from start to finish, and she exceeded every expectation I had. With genuine compassion, professionalism, and care, she managed the entire process seamlessly. She kept me informed at every step and earned my complete trust and confidence in both her judgment and decisions. Every detail was handled, every obstacle overcome, and she ultimately secured top dollar for my 40-year-old home. I truly barely had to lift a finger throughout the entire process. At a time when I felt completely lost, Kristin gave me stability, guidance, and peace of mind. This was more than just a transaction—it was real support when I needed it most. I cannot recommend her strongly enough.

Fantastic experience: We recently worked with Kristin Burns to purchase our home, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She is hands down one of the best real estate agents we have ever worked with. Kristin was incredibly thorough. She really took the time to do the research and ensure we were seeing homes that matched our specific needs. What we appreciated most was her flexibility. She was always willing to adjust to our schedule when we were available to tour homes. She is personable, patient, and highly knowledgeable about the market. If you are looking for an agent who truly cares and will work hard for you, I highly recommend Kristin!

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns is amazing!! She was recommended by a neighbor to the property she sold and I'm so happy to have met her! I live in IL but had to sell a family member's condo in Arlington, VA , which is a job in itself. I spoke with four other realtors over a year or so in preparation for selling this condo but hadn't decided who best to assist with the long distance sale. Once I met Kristin, I immediately felt very comfortable with her experience and knowledge of real estate. It was a pleasure working with Kristin throughout the sale process. She thoroughly explained everything, including her plan to market the condo to get the best deal. She easily coordinated having new appliances delivered as well as found the right contractors to make repairs and get the condo refreshed and ready to sell. The condo looked so beautiful after her updates. Kristin Burns is DEFINITELY a great realtor and you won't be disappointed if you decide to work with her! Highly recommend Kristin! Lori Sternisha

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns is truly passionate about real estate and it shows in every interaction. She went above and beyond to spend time with a prospective buyer, ensuring the process was smooth and successful. Kristin took the time to listen carefully, address every concern, and provide reassurance at each step, ultimately helping to get the deal done with ease.

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience working with Kristin, who patiently helped my husband and I navigate a convoluted process. She stuck it out with us when we had to switch from purchasing to renting, conducting video walk-throughs of houses when we were unable to make it out to see them in person. We appreciate her expertise and care, and we would hire her as our realtor again in a heartbeat. Thanks Kristin!

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns is focused, sharp, driven, attentive and intuitive. Kristin is extremely knowledgeable about Dumfries and Prince William County. She is kind and truly wants to help you find your home. No one will work harder for you. I can't imagine there is anyone better than Kristin in serving a clients needs.

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns was actually the sellers agent when we bought this house and we liked working with her even from that side so when it was time to list that same house we naturally reached out to her. She gave us solid advice about marketing and updates to make to the property, all of which we followed, and even though we listed in the off season (January) we had multiple strong offers within a week. Would highly recommend her especially for properties in and around Dumfries / Montclair as her local knowledge is unmatched.

Fantastic experience: Kristin was an amazing realtor to work with! She was so personable right away, and provided great market information to make the process as smooth as possible. She listened to what I was looking for in both the sale and purchase, and exceeded all expectations. I could tell how much she loves being a realtor and it shows in the results of her efforts! She explained things every step of the process, and I learned so much even having been through the process before. I won't hesitate to call Kristin when I'm ready for another move!

Fantastic experience: Working with Kristin Burns was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her experience and deep knowledge of the local market were evident in every step of the process. She is a consumate professional through and through. She guided me through pricing, staging, and marketing my home with a clear strategy that led to multiple offers within just a few days. What really stood out was her professionalism and communication — she kept me informed and confident through every detail, from listing to closing. Thanks to her skill and dedication, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. She and her staff were amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better agent and would highly recommend Kristin to anyone buying or selling a home.

Fantastic experience: As a widow and first-time home seller I was nervous about selling my first home, finding the right realtor to work with me, and feeling confident that I was getting the best price for my home. I needn't have worried because Kristin Burns exceeded all of my expectations! She is a very experienced realtor and makes data informed recommendations for all facets of the buying/selling process. She was always available for questions and replied quickly and confidently. I highly recommend Kristin Burns if you are looking for an excellent realtor to market your home. I'll definitely be using her for my next buy or sell.

Fantastic experience: Working with Kristin was a joy from start to finish. Not having sold a home for almost 40 years meant my husband and I were true novices. Kristin's knowledge and professionalism made all the difference in our experience. I can't say enough great things about her or recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: I have known Kristin Burns for almost ten years on a personal level. I've gotten to know her as a friend, watched as she's helped mutual friends buy and sell homes, and subscribed to her social media to see how she conducts business. Along the way, I've always known that at some point my husband and I would also be selling our home and moving out of the NoVa area. So, when it came time for us, I had no doubt about who I wanted to work with. It could only be Kristin. She knows the market very well, does her research to set the right asking price, and clearly loves the marketing and promotion process. Because of Kristin's experience and guidance, we were under contract in four days with an offer $55,000 over asking. We could not have asked for any more and have already recommended Kristin to others looking for a realtor.

Fantastic experience: Kristen Burns is a phenomenal realtor. She went out of her way to fully understand what was important to my family in a home before beginning our home search. She was fully prepared to meetings, clear in her communication, and available and willing to answer any question my husband and I had. She understood how vulnerable we felt as first time home buyers and assured us through her knowledge and confidence. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Fantastic experience: Working with Kristin and Joe Burns was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations in every way. Kristin possesses a deep understanding of the local market. She was always available to answer questions and provide valuable insights, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Kristin has an extensive familiarity with the Northern Virginia market and a keen attention to detail. She went above and beyond to find me the perfect home. She was always responsive and kept me informed every step of the way. I truly felt like I was her top priority. When Kristin was not available, her partner Joe would step in and assist, making sure my needs were met with Kristin in communication the whole way. Kristin is a skilled negotiator who advocated for our best interests. I felt confident and secure throughout the negotiation process, knowing that I had someone strong on our side. In contrast with prior experiences with other realtors, Kristin was a step above.

Fantastic experience: I’ve known Kristin for years and always found her to be smart, witty and very friendly. I expected all that good energy when I enlisted her as my realtor but the experience was like watching Clark Kent turn into Superman. Kristin’s knowledge and skills as my realtor have exceeded all my expectations. She gave me advice and marketed my house so that it sold for much more than I expected. Then she used her extraordinary knowledge to represent me when building a new home. She has been like my guardian angel from the moment they broke ground and she continues to advocate for me as I approach my closing. I have bought and sold many homes in my lifetime, but I have never had a buying or selling experience where someone advocated for my interest like Kristin has. She is truly a real estate superhero!

Fantastic experience: Kristin was wonderful to work with every step of the home buying process. Her attention to detail and forward thinking allowed us to ask the right questions. Her constant communication kept us up to date and allowed us to adjust our searches based on availability and market changes. From our initial meeting to our blue tape walkthrough, Kristin was fully involved and had our best interest in mind. We would strongly recommend Kristin to both friends and family for all of their real estate needs.

Fantastic experience: Kristin was very professional and listened to my needs. She demonstrated great care and made me feel valued as a customer.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Kristin Burn twice, once buying a home and nine years later sailing the same home. Kristin came in, advice us on what needed to be done improvement wise to sale the home. She advices us the going price range for that sized home in that area. She had a large list of craftsman who could make the changes to choice from. Changes were made, property was listed and sold in four days for more than asking price. Kristin's professional work ethics overseeing the whole process moving smoothly and simple for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sale property anywhere in northern Virginia.

Fantastic experience: This particular purchase was our 6th real estate transaction with Kristin (we have had an additional sale with her since this purchase and will sell another property with her soon). We keep coming back to Kristin because of her skills, her passion, and her unique ability to completely. Understand the needs of her clients. This particular purchase was for us to "upsize" into a home that we wanted to make a multigenerational home for our family. 8 years ago Kristin helped us "downsize" into our empty nest home. Since Kristin stayed in touch over the years in between, she knew exactly what we were looking for and made it her mission to find us the perfect home. Hopefully after so many buys and sells we won't require Kristin's services as a realtor much more, but we would NEVER hesitate to refer our friends to her and are glad that she is part of our life.

Fantastic experience: I found Kristin Burns from a recent sale of another property in the same neighborhood. She was very responsive in meeting with us as we began a renovation of the property and stayed in touch throughout that process. Once the renovation was completed, she provided excellent service throughout the sale including marketing plan, pricing, prelisting advice on staging, etc. All in all, she was great to work with in helping us move an extensive renovation project into a successful sale outcome. Couldn't have asked for or received any better service than what she provided.

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns was referred to me by a friend. In my opinion she is the best realtor! From our first consultation with her through the closing on our new home she was a source of knowledge and professionalism. Kristin made herself available to us for any questions or concerns we had. She never faltered even though our closing kept being delayed. Kristin is awesome and trustworthy. I highly recommend her to any one looking to buy or sell a home.

Fantastic experience: From the first meeting with Kristin Burns, we could tell that she was very knowledgeable and prepared with an in-depth competitive market analysis, both in terms of price and time on market. She was very familiar with our neighborhood and surrounding communities. She managed our expectations with realistic pricing, time, and the phases of selling our home. Her recommended contractors delivered top-notch work to help us prepare our home for sale. Kristin consistently provided timely and accurate communication, answering our questions and keeping us informed. Kristin Burns made the sale of our home easy by guiding us through every step of the preparation, listing, and closing process.

Fantastic experience: Kristin is a very personable, knowledgable professional who has become a personal friend of our family in the process of selling our house. In the sale of all seven of my previous houses she is by far the best agent I have ever known

Fantastic experience: Working with Kristin was an absolute joy and delight. My husband and I were so impressed by her incredible attention to detail, the level of professionalism, and constant communication. She was so informative and helpful every single step of the way from setting expectations when we were starting the search, to the final walkthrough of our dream home. We couldn't be any happier with the level of care. Highly highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Working with Kristin Burns was an absolute pleasure! Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication to finding the perfect home for us were truly outstanding. Kristin's attention to detail and proactive communication made the entire process seamless. In an extremely competitive market, she went above and beyond to ensure that every step of the home buying journey was smooth and stress-free.

I highly recommend Kristin (and her awesome side-kick/husband, Joe!) to anyone in search of a top-notch realtor who truly cares about their clients' needs. Thank you, Kristin and Joe! Alyx Centreville, VA

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns showed knowledge, patience, and professionalism as our realtor. Kristin helped us sell our home in Woodbridge in the past and we knew she would do a great job again. Kristin really listened to what we were looking for and continued to work with us for months until we found a house in eastern Prince William County that suited our needs.

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns far exceeded my expectations! Her attention to detail, knowledge of the business, compassion, professionalism, and commitment were exceptional. I highly recommend Kristin to anyone who is considering selling their house. I do not have the experience of working with her on the buying end, but if it's anything like what we experienced selling our house, I would also recommend her if you are looking to buy in this area. As a result of this experience, Kristin has become a friend. She goes beyond a professional relationship in her care of her clients and considers the needs of the individual. We were truly blessed to have worked with Kristin. Sheri Suess Lake Ridge, Virginia

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns is a true professional. If you want the job to get done in a superior, timely, and efficient way, then she is the one for you 10 out of 10 times. Determined, dependable, approachable, knowledgeable, and energetic are five adjectives that define Kristin. She has the game plan set up, but she is extremely flexible and more than willing to listen. There is no one else that I would even consider to sell my house. Once you have had the best on your side, there is no looking back!

Fantastic experience: She is amazing at what she does, if you’re in the market for a house, she really is the one to find your next home. She is way ahead of her game in town and must be recognized for her work.

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure to work with Kristin Burns to purchase our home. Kristin helped us find what we were looking for with limited inventory and was endlessly patient with us. We don't plan to buy another home anytime soon, but we would work with Kristin again and would absolutely recommend her to others. Steven Mawhorter, Springfield

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns is simply the best realtor I have met. She has helped me sell four properties and buy three in Dumfries (Prince William County) as well as Reston (Fairfax County). She works harder than any other realtor I know, and she is honest, ethical and loyal. Before I met Kristin, I was convinced that all realtors were worse than used car salesmen, but she restored my faith. Her experience and expertise saved me at least a hundred thousand dollars over the five years she was my realtor. If I still lived in Virginia, Kristin would still be my only choice. I have not met anyone who can match her. If you are selling a house, she will perform an extensive market analysis to find the best price. Then she will present compelling arguments to convince you to fix, clean and stage it until it is totally move-in-ready. It is painful, but listen to her. Your house will sell much quicker, and you will get back every penny you put into it and then some. If you are buying a house, she spots the little stuff that matters. If Kristin Burns is available, count yourself lucky. You are in good hands.

Fantastic experience: I live in FL and my sister (owner of the home in Dumfries, VA) passed away Feb 21, 2023. A friend of my sister recommended contacting Kristin Burns, REALTOR® of CENTURY 21 Redwood Realty | 5199 Waterway Drive, Montclair, VA 22025 | Office: 703.580.0880 as she had worked with her husband Joe for a number of years. After arriving at my sister's home Feb 27, contacted Kristin Feb 28 to see about starting the process of selling the home as it was in the Family Trust. Due to having to go to Probate for portions of my sister's estate, the sale was not able to be accomplished until starting mid Jun 2023 with sale finalized Mon Jul 10, 2023. Did not know about Kristin until my sister had passed and was then recommended. But those items (about realtor integrity) did become very important as the weeks and months passed as Kristin displayed great kindness and patience toward my situation as I was navigating through this process. Did not anticipate the home to sell as quickly as it did. When the listing went active online Jun 22, the first appointment at 11am turned out to be the new buyers of the home. Was pleasantly surprised and grateful for such an unexpected outcome. The quick sale of the home was due to Kristin's expertise in knowing what would need to be done in getting the home in the best condition possible in preparation for sale. This included getting the home deep cleaned after the Estate Sale concluded, then having the interior repainted, rooms recarpeted, items needing repair taken care of, and the install of the new roof as part of the closing. Also, the staging of the interior of the home was exceptional and no doubt contributed greatly to the prompt sale of the home. Really appreciated Kristin's knowledge and contacts of all the appropriate entities to expertly handle the various aspects of the home quickly that needed to be addressed in preparation for the sale. Due to the lengthy time period between my sister's passing and actual sale of the home, was very grateful to have Kristin representing me through this process as Realtor, especially displaying great patience since there was a lot of uncertainty during the early phases of the Probate process. Am not sure if a lot of other realtors would have been willing to endure such a long, sometimes uncertain outcome to the now successful conclusion of the sale of the home. Am very grateful to Kristin for guiding me through the process of selling of the home with detailed emails of related information and always keeping me in the loop either by email, by text, or by phone. Kristin's expertise in the selling of my home (since I am remaining Trustee of the Family Trust) in Dumfries, VA was exceptional, and I greatly appreciate it.

Fantastic experience: Allow me to start off by saying I have worked with Kristin Burns on purchasing two homes and selling one. Kristin Burns’ institutional knowledge, the people she surrounds herself with, and her ability to teach you about the housing market provide her clients a level of confidence that makes you feel minimal anxiety and very well taken care of. She is a real-estate mentor in the way she treats her clients. I have never felt alone while working with Kristin. I always felt as though there was someone in my corner making magic happen to buy or sell the houses. I think I waited for her to call me back once because she was on a plane. I know that because when she called me back, she called me from the tarmac just to say sorry she didn't return the call sooner. Having attempted to use two other agents, it was surreal to find Kristin and finally understand what a realtor is supposed to be. She doesn't apply pressure, put you outside of your budget, or really seem all to concerned with commissions. What she does do is enjoy the journey with you as a homebuyer and make sure that the home you find is the home you were looking for. If I was more of a people person, I would want to be a realtor because of how enjoyable the experience always is with Kristin. She makes buying a home fun. I can't imagine working with anyone else. Logan Hansen, Fredericksburg VA

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns provided exceptional service throughout the home selling process. We were first time sellers so asked a tons of questions. She was patient and always had spot on suggestions. We took her advice and we are sure that helped us get a quick sale that came in over asking price. We will certainly recommend her to our friends and neighbors in the Northern Virginia area. Christine Batchelor, Manassas

Fantastic experience: Kristin is an outstanding realtor who listens to her customers selling and buying and always has their interests first! She helped us sell our house at top price and she found us the perfect home to raise our children. I highly recommend her for buying or selling your home.

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns is an absolute professional and all around brilliant person. We first worked with her when we bought our home as an out of state military family in Woodbridge, VA and immediately knew we could trust her, so there was zero doubt that we'd work with her again when it came time for us to sell. She has intimate knowledge of the area and all aspects of the home buying and selling process. She educates clients in a way that makes things easy to understand and when you need her help to make a decision you know you can trust her opinion because she truly cares and knows what she's talking about. She's organized, responsible, and is there with you every step of the way. The Walters

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns is a terrific realtor. I found her through Google and she was attentive to my needs from day one. We met up and determined what kind of house I was looking for and what was in my budget, and she set up an automatic search for me to help me locate these houses as soon as they were posted. From there it took a couple months, but I wasn’t in a hurry and it was the winter season—slow! When I found a house I liked in Woodbridge, I put in a bid but did not get it, and Kristin was very encouraging and pragmatic about it and helped me keep my hopes up that I would find the right house for me. She did not pressure me to raise my offer or otherwise put more of my own money on the line just to make a sale. Eventually I found a place just right for me in Stafford, Virginia. She was always open and available whenever I had questions about the process and she helped guide me through some counteroffers and conditions being met until the sale went through. Even after the sale was done she still checks in with me from time to time to see how things are going. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She’s the best!

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience selling our house with Kristin. She helped us position the house so that it sold quickly and for a great price. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Kristin is knowledgeable about the market and extremely personable. She made the process of searching and putting an offer on a home fun and much less stressful than I imagined.

Fantastic experience: We'd give Kristin 6 stars if we could. She stuck with us for almost 2 years while we searched for the perfect house for us (which we eventually did find). She is incredibly responsive, caring, and thorough. We felt assured she was watching out for our best interests the entire time - and the woman knows her stuff. We cannot recommend Kristin enough!

Fantastic experience: Kristin worked tirelessly to secure a home when the market was near impossible to land a property without bidding $30K or more over asking prices at the time to even start. She got me into the neighborhood I wanted me live in and I know most realtors or agents would not have spent the time or effort she did to put me into my first property. I recommend her to everyone I know that is moving into the area with good reason; she knows exactly what she is doing and she’s her job very well.

Fantastic experience: In addition to being a true real estate professional, Kristin Burns is patient, caring, and kind, I caught Covid after my house was listed and she checked on me regularly to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. She was right there with me from listing to sale. She is an angel. I would highly recommend her. Johanna Jones. Stafford, VA

Fantastic experience: Kristin was the best! She helped us purchase our house in Stafford. She understood what we wanted and was very attentive to our desires for our next home. Very happy with our new home!!!

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns did a fantastic job helping me find a great home in the Montclair/Dumfries area. Honest, friendly, and patient. She’s kept in touch over the years and I would absolutely go to her first for either buying or selling a home.

Fantastic experience: If you are ready for a realtor who tells you and shows you how to sale or buy a house then Kristin is the one! Trust the process with her.

Fantastic experience: Throughout our home buying process, Kristin was supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping us find the home that was just right for us. She gave honest and valuable guidance without ever pushing or influencing our decisions. In the wild 2022 market we found ourselves in, we would have been completely lost without her. We were prepared for the probability that we might have a number of offers rejected before finally having one accepted simply based on the market at the time. However, Kristin helped us figure out how to make the best possible offer on the home that we fell in love with and our first ever offer was accepted! We were shocked and delighted. There are many realtors out there, but Kristin is a rare gem with a wealth of knowledge and experience and a warm and engaging personality. Despite her busy schedule, she is always available for her clients and will take whatever steps necessary to ensure they find the home of their dreams! Her and her team are efficient, thorough, and communicative throughout the entire process. Kristin became a member of the family, and although we hope to remain in our current home for many years, we would turn to her without a doubt should we ever need to move again. I highly recommend her to friends, family, and anyone who is looking for a top notch realtor!

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns is an amazing realtor! She has helped my family purchase homes twice in the last 15 years. Each time, she focuses on what is important to US, she works closely with us to make finances work, and ensures that we find a home that best suits our family. Kristin Burns is thoughtful and keeps up with her clients throughout the year. She sold us our home in 2018 and sent me a baby gift when my daughter was born in February of this year. If you are looking for a home in Dumfries or Woodbridge, Kristin Burbs is the best realtor there is!

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns is amazing as a realtor and as a person. She knows real estate and demonstrates it every time she sells a house if she treats everyone equally. We were extremely pleased with the results from the sales process from beginning to closure. She helped us from the prep stage and explained thoroughly what we should expect, what her company does and even had companies to call if we needed work done. Our house was in Woodbridge Virginia in Prince William County. Her process was flawless. We sold the house in a very short period of time. We couldn’t have been happier with the results.

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns with Century 21 is the only realtor you need to contact! She is extremely professional and will give high quality-service with personal care to your family for the sale or purchase of your home.

Don't bother with anyone else, have Kristin Burns with Century 21 take care of your real estate transaction. I promise you will be so happy that you did!

Fantastic experience: the very BEST realtor I have ever worked with! If you want a professional and sincerely genuine person, go with Kristin!

Fantastic experience: We have known Kristin Burns for many years and have always found her to be a good friend and a dedicated professional. She sold my mom's house in Four Seasons (Dumfries, VA). From the beginning to the end - and beyond - she was helpful with every aspect of the preparation and sale. She helped identify various contractors, got the house staged, and walked us through the entire process. Kristin provided great advice and ensured we were informed and fully involved with everything. We frequently recommend her to friends and family for their real estate needs.

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns, with Century 21 Redwood Realty, is by far the most incredible real estate agent around!!! We have moved often and though I’ve often “liked” our real estate agents, I never knew what they lacked until we worked with Kristin!!! We tried 3 different agents to sell our last home. Kristin was the last and only real estate agent we will ever use again!!! She sold our home for $100,000.00 more than the other agents even tried to get. She shows up originally with a market breakdown of houses in our area, made suggestions on how to stage the house, and answered all our questions through the whole process promptly. We had been trying to sell our home on and off for years, and she did it in under three weeks. She also helped us buy our current home and again worked her magic. We got concessions that were beyond our wildest hopes. She genuinely loves her job and it shows in all she does and the special little touches she adds. We are beyond grateful to have found Kristin and tell everyone we can you can’t do better than Kristin Burns!!!

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burn’s knowledge and experience kept us out of trouble on a few occasions. She shared information with us about the selling process that provided clarity and facilitated decision making. She was always available, even one night after 10pm when I locked myself out of the house! When I was worried and upset, she was patient and kind and willing to talk me out of the stress. We can't thank Kristin enough for the help she provided with selling our home. She went above and beyond at every turn. She definitely did her research and then would provide options for our consideration. For anyone looking to buy or sell a home, I highly recommend Kristin Burns. She made selling our home a positive experience. She started out as our realtor and along the way I feel like she became our friend! Chris and Lisa, Dumfries

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns helped us find our dream home in Manassas, Va. She listened to our needs and spent as much time as was necessary to help us find what we were looking for. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has even continued to follow up with us throughout the years. I highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Kristin has been my realtor for three buying/selling properties and I would use her again! She is the definition of what a Realtor should be; responsive, honest, determined, and trustworthy. She fought with us when our new build was under-appraised and she did walk throughs with us instead of leaving us to do them with inspectors, catching several things we would have missed. Because of that I have referred her to multiple friends who have used her to buy their homes and they have the same experiences. If you need someone to help you buy or sell your property, in ANY market, CALL HER!

Fantastic experience: Working with Kristin Burns was the best choice we could have made when choosing a realtor. We were first time homebuyers and she was so thorough (and patient!) as she walked us through all the steps. She advised us well, reminded us that no question was too small to ask her, and our offer was selected over an all cash offer on our (now) house! We have since referred her to several people and they have all loved working with Kristin as well. Cannot recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: Kristen Burns is absolutely amazing. She represented me in the process of searching for a home in the northern VA area (Reston, Falls Church, Vienna, Oakton, Herndon. I ended up purchasing a home in Reston, VA. This was my first time buying a house and I honestly am so thankful I had her as my guide. Her knowledge of the home buying process absolutely blew my mind and was instrumental in helping find me the perfect home AND getting all my questions answered. For her, no question was dumb and she was able to provide me with extremely thorough yet understandable answers to my questions regarding houses, the housing market, the home buying process, next steps, etc. I want to touch here on a few things that really stuck out to me. One thing that really stuck out to me is how she tended to answer questions I did not even know to ask. For example, how old is the water heater? That is such a simple question I would not have even thought to ask but she made sure to either communicate that information with me, show me where I could find that information or reach out to the selling agent. I also had an offer in on a house with multiple offers which lead to a bit of a difficult situation. She helped me determine next steps and in what ways I could make my offer more attractive. Her suggestions are 100% what ultimately got me the contract and I am so incredibly happy I went with her suggestions. One last thing I want to highlight is her ability to go way above and beyond what I was expecting from a realtor. When I was setting up utilities at my house, I encountered a situation with my electric company in which there was an inspection hold put on the home. I had no idea what to do so naturally, I called Kristen. Not only did she help me figure out the situation, but she called a bunch of government inspection/ government electric departments and helped me figure out what to do. That is what you get when you work with Kristen. Someone who is knowledgeable, has so much valuable insight into homes, housing market and pricing, someone who will stop at nothing to help you get the home you love and help make sure everything is in order once you get that home. Kristen was extremely on top of each of these portions of the home buying process. she was extremely accommodating of my schedule and worked with me to make sure I understood each step in the home buying process. At every step of the way, I know I was extremely cared for and was in the best possible hands. I am really lucky I got to work with her. She made home buying easy and is a model for what a good realtor should be like. Cannot recommend Kristen Burns with Century21 Realty enough!

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns is absolutely amazing at what she does. When we decided to sell our home in Woodbridge, VA, my husband said "Do we really even need to hire a realtor?"....wow, did Kristin prove him wrong! Her hard work and dependability through the entire process made it very clear to us just how important hiring an expert realtor is, and what a difference it makes! My husband has said over and over again, "I don't know how I thought we could do this without a realtor." Kristin went above and beyond to guide us through each step of the process and make sure we were well equipped to sell our home quickly, and for the best possible price. She communicated effectively, explained everything clearly, and was always available whenever we had questions. It stood out to us how much she listened and valued what was important to us. She was able to make recommendations when we asked for them, but never made us feel pressured. She helped us navigate some home improvements and repairs, gave advice about paint colors and home staging, but ultimately made sure all decisions were our own. Our open house ran very smoothly due to Kristin's diligence and the hard work of her team. We received TWELVE offers, and Kristin helped us sort through them and evaluate multiple factors to select the best one. She was thorough yet efficient. We were able to accept an offer 4 DAYS after going on the market and stay in our home for the amount of time we needed to without any issues. Selling a home can be a very overwhelming and stressful process, and yes, you DO need a realtor, but you need one who knows their stuff. That's Kristin. Her level of experience, degree of professionalism, and her warm personality make her the absolute best of the best. She became a part of our family and we would absolutely seek out her services again. We recommend her highly to anyone looking for an incredible realtor!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Kristin Burns with Century 21 highly enough! Recently, she helped us purchase our new home in Manassas, VA and she truly made the process seamless! Very professional, kind and knowledgeable. She even got us the most thoughtful gift on our closing day! Quick responses to my questions and concerns, and her familiarity with the area we were looking in made us feel much more comfortable, as we know nothing about Manassas- yet! She came highly recommended to me, and I couldn't agree more! So glad we partnered up for our home purchase!

Fantastic experience: We just sold our home in Montclair and Kristin Burns was our realtor that helped make it happen. She's very knowledgeable on the area and the market and it's shifts.

If you're looking to sell your home in the Dumfries/Montclair area definitely contact Kristin, she will help you get your home sold fast.

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns exudes professionalism, knowledge and provides the highest level of personal attention. From our initial meeting, it was readily apparent that Kristin would care for us during the sale of our property like we were members of her own family. Through every step of the process of selling our home Kristin exceeded our expectations. Kristen listened to our needs and gave excellent advise. She made suggestions of improvements we could make to our home that would enhance our selling price and steered us away from areas that would not. She gave us access to her list of preferred contractors, stagers and trades persons. We were able to make necessary modifications in a short turnaround time with wonderful results. Kristin developed a pricing strategy and marketing plan that exceeded our expectations. Her use of a professional photographer and internet real estate sites brought our home to many prospective buyers. We listed our home for showings on Thursday and on the following Monday we met to select our home buyer from multiple offers. The sale of our home went through seamlessly. We are completely satisfied with Kristin Burns. If our only child were buying or selling a home, we would trust Kristin Burns to be her agent. Steve and Karen Bow, Montclair VA

Fantastic experience: Kristin Burns helped my family get a new home in Manassas Virginia a few months ago. I have been meaning to write a review for quiet some time but never got around to it till today when I stumbled across one of her many emails that she used to send to us constantly updating us on the new houses for sale, intel on the real estate market and seasonal trends. It was not just her exceptional knowledge and advanced professional expertise but her exuberant street smart positive energy that made my family fall in love with Kristin. We started looking for a house in a very competitive real estate market with a limited budget and got our dream house only because of Kristin's relentless drive! Soon after we got settled in our new home, we did a poll on what makes Kristin different than the others .. everybody came up with why they thought Kristin was wonderful but what my youngest son said stayed with me "Dad, she is different because she really looked out for us" .. I could not agree with him more because I remember Kristin telling us, after weeks of searching for a house, not to settle for this one house that was not what we were looking for, but thought it is the best we could do at the time. Fast forward a few months and here I am writing this from the basement- turned-office in my dream home and cannot thank this wonderful real estate professional!

Fantastic experience: I was greatly impressed when Kristin met us at our home and brought a detailed package of the real estate market in our area. I say impressive as I had not been provided this type of granularity for any of the four homes I purchased in my lifetime. She was personable, knowledgeable and went way beyond the service I had receive from past agents. Something that separates her from other agents was that she maintains a list of recommended contractors that she has also used. The listing was in depth and allowed us to repaint and carpet the empty house in less than a week! Kristen is the agent you want to use in the future as she is top notch and a genuinely nice and sincere person. She made the entire process less stressful and the results were fantastic too! Even though it's a seller's market we made $30K over the listed price which was way more than we expected! We highly recommend Kristin Burns!!

Fantastic experience: We recently sold our home in Woodbridge, Va. Our exceptional Realtor from Century 21 Redwood was Kristin Burns. After we met her for the first time, we knew we had made a great decision. She was professional and so prepared at our first meeting, it helped us to relax and trust her. We had already purchased a home out of state and she told us to get ready to move and she would handle all the details of the sale...AND SHE DID!! She went above and beyond our expectations, handling everything from upgrades to having the house cleaned to contacting a stager. Our house sold within one week, even though it was in the middle of winter.
