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 was a ray of hope that came to us at just the right time. With Kristy's guidance, we were able to make some needed changes so that our business would be much more marketable, and she was able to complete the sale at a higher than expected price.
