I’ve worked with Kristy and her team for many years. I really enjoy the personal customer service provided to my clients, trust in teamwork and excellent dedications she has given as my business partner. I am very proud of the work she has done...

My company has been saved by the most incredible lady in the business. I really couldn’t have done this a tenth as well without Kristy, and I owe her big. I could go on and on about how much she has changed my company and me as an owner.
Abe Nimeth, Business Buyer & Consulting Client
I feel like the transaction and process was flawless, due to Kristy's positive attitude, work ethic, professionalism, and humility. Thank you, thank you for helping me move into my retirement with a comfortable nest egg.

I’ve used Kristy Thornton’s Texas Empire Properties for two transactions: one selling a Montessori school, and the other while buying a Montessori school. No matter which side of the transaction you are on, Kristy Thornton and Associates are fair, professional

Kristy had such neat ideas…she presented things I would have never thought of! She is extremely good at her job. If I could have added anything it would have been…MORE TIME. I wanted to learn so much more from Kristy.
Lorna, Smart Start Inc.
Kristy, you have been an INCREDIBLE human being through this whole process. I appreciate you deeply. I look forward to working with you on a future deal, but one that is streamlined and easy to go. You are one hell of an agent, and I am honored to know you.
