Kristina Legault - Featured Local Business

We’ve been working alongside Kristina for a number of months now and have really enjoyed our time together. Kristina is passionate and knowledgeable and has a deep care for our community. She spends a great deal of time and energy on perfecting her craft, not only for her clients but the up and coming realtors she invests in.

We’ve asked Kristina to do a number of projects with us over the last couple months and every time she comes back to us with excitement and enthusiasm, maybe the odd question BUT she has a passion to get out there and be a part of our community.

Not only does Kristina love supporting our community but she also has a love for a good Eggs Benny. We started searching Chilliwack for the best Eggs Benny and you can check out what she likes so far:

Simply put, we appreciate Kristina and what she brings to our community. With the way that the current housing market is at, there is one thing to be completely enveloped in buying and selling homes BUT it’s another thing for Kristina to put herself out there to support and promote local businesses and improve the quality of our community. If you’re looking for a realtor that will listen and help with your housing needs, and has a passion for the betterment of our city, we highly recommend Kristina.

From her website:
”Kristina has the ability to make it a personal experience and ensure that her clients find a home that works for their needs and lifestyle, be it their primary home or an investment property. Kristina’s concierge service makes you feel as though you are her only client giving you the attention and expertise you deserve for one of the largest decisions of your life.”

We’ve been working with the Chamber for almost 2 years now and have thoroughly enjoyed our time with them. Working with Leanna and her team has been a real pleasure and so much fun. They’ve made things laid back and productive and shown their key role in our city. We’re thankful for the work they do in this city and everything they bring to the table!

Having worked with them for so long, we’ve recored a number of videos with them and most shoots we end up with a plethora of bloopers and started making a blooper cut from the very first time we hit record on the camera with them. Oddly enough, the bloopers each month have become far more popular and are always fun to look back on!
