I love what I do even though it has become difficult to transact Real Estate these past couple of years.
Below you will find what keeps the smile on my face when I go to work everyday. It's nice to win awards for what I do, but when a client writes a review like the ones below that's a true reward. I hope we can do the same for you!
Alyssa Knight-
I have just settled in my home. I have painted, cleaned the carpet, started cleaning up the yard, and unpacked my stuff and have finally been able to rest. The house is looking good, and you should stop by if you are around the neighborhood. It's been an adventurous year looking for a house with you. You have given me the flexibility that I needed to be able to pick the home that best suited me. It's funny looking back because I didn't really know what home and where the location would be that I wanted to buy a house. I started on one part of the town, to the other part of town and everywhere in between, and can honestly be the judge of your patience. Your patience was superb, and your guidance directed me into what would honestly become my perfect home all around. If it wasn't for your knowledge and your perseverance, I don't know if I would have been as satisfied as I am right now. Words can not express the thanks and gratitude I have for you Alyssa. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Nicholas J.
Dear Alyssa,
We wanted to write to let you know how much we valued your guidance
throughout the home buying process. You were always available via phone, text,
or e-mail and responded to us quickly. We felt you were attuned to the needs of
our family; you listened to us when we told you what we were looking for and
kept within our price range. We appreciate that you made time to meet with us
face-to-face during all phases of the home buying process. Despite knowing that
you did not stand to gain much given our price range, you exhibited patience and
knowledge in dealing with nervous first-time home-buyers.
Thank you for being a positive part of a satisfying home buying and major life
experience.
Sincerely,
Shawn and Candace M. ( Kennedy, too!)
To whom it may concern:
We are pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Alyssa Knight. From day one Alyssa Knight had the fullest intentions to help us find our dream home. She always showed her integrity and interest in serving our needs in the search of a home which would be our life time investment. She is a very honest person because she would not hesitate to inform us about aspects of the homes that were not suitable for our needs and life style.
She is a person with great patience; she never rushed us into making a decision on selecting a home from all the homes that she showed us which were many. During the viewing of different homes she would explain good and bad aspects of each. If we had any questions about a specific home Alyssa would be honest with her answers. This is important because Alyssa was not a person wanting to just sell a house to make a few dollars, she was there to help her clients, and that is what makes a good real estate agent in today’s world.
Even after we found our home and during the escrow process Alyssa Knight was there in a moment notice to answer any of our questions; which by the way they were in the hundreds because we were first time home buyers. After escrow closed, Alyssa Knight still gave us valuable information on what to expect in the following months after moving into our home. Even today, after being in our home for about two and a half months, we still call her when we have questions regarding any important paper work about our house. She will help us without hesitation.
Her determination and her knowledge about the real estate market made buying our first home a good experience. We would recommend Alyssa Knight as your agent for either buying your first home our tenth home because she works very hard. We not only think of Alyssa Knight as real estate agent but also as a friend.
Sincerely,
John and Herlinda A
How I chose Alyssa as my Agent. While out to dinner, I had dropped my company credit card in the parking lot. She had found the card and took great efforts to return it safely to me. I promised myself if I ever needed an Agent, that I would contact her first.
And sure enough, years later, when it came time to sell my home, I met with Alyssa. I was immediately impressed by her work ethic, energy and creativeness. But above all, her honesty. That meant so much to me!
I could go on and on. Instead, I would simple like to say how much I think of Alyssa, and how strongly I recommend her for any task that requires problem solving and high degree of commitment. Her enthusiasm, hard work and trustworthiness are highly valued!
Sincerely
William M
Alyssa,
Ray and I would like to express our appreciation of your time and talents in not only selling our home, but finding a new one also.
We felt that our home would be hard to sell, but with your creativity and perseverance our home did sell in a timely manner.
Of course, finding a new one turned to be just as challenging. You were always positive and patient with us, and never made us feel like we were taking too much of your time. Through all the homes we looked at, you never failed to keep in mind what we were looking for in the perfect home for our family, even when we strayed from the grand plan. You were always there to help guide us in our decision, but were careful not make the decision for us.
You were not only great for us, but also for our daughter, who can sometimes be a demanding personality with her own opinions of what we should look for in a home. Your easy going personality was one we felt comfortable with, and made for many good times during our home search.
You made our happiness your goal and for that we can never thank you enough!
Sincerely,
Ray & Stacy G
Dear Sirs:
When age and illness forced my parents to give up living in their house in southwest Bakersfield and move to be closer to me, it became necessary to sell their home. I interviewed several REALTORS, and chose Alyssa Knight to represent us.
As an out-of-town seller I didn't want to keep returning to Bakersfield to take care of details. Alyssa took care of everything for us. I especially value the fact that she always returned my phone calls promptly.
However, her true value was her intelligence, honesty, and integrity. I unqualifiedly recommend Alyssa Knight as a REALTOR.

Dear Alyssa,
We would like to graciously thank you for your assistance in the recent real estate transactions of our homes. You came highly recommended to us, and we were impressed by how your warmth and professionalism shined through and through. We knew that we had made the best choice possible having you as our agent right from the beginning.
You put us as ease and gave us the needed confidence that our home would sell in good time, which it did. We knew it had to do with the combination of many things, including the beautiful flyers you made, the signage/advertising, and your hosting of the open houses. We were very impressed with your consistency of hard work and dedication on our behalf at all times.
The success in your selling our home gave us the trust in you to assist us in finding a new one. It was actually fun previewing homes with you, as you were always organized with no time to be wasted on finding the one that won our hearts. We love our new home!
Thank you so very much for going above and beyond your expected limits on numerous occasions. We would highly recommend you to your future clients, and look forward to keeping in touch. Best of luck in your real estate success!
Fondly, Keith and Jennifer S
Dear Watson Touchstone ERA,
We would like to Inform you (as we are sure others have done before) what an outstanding asset Alyssa Knight is to your organization!
We first got acquainted with Alyssa thru the Internet in March. We live in Nevada and because we have family in Bakersfield, we decided it was about time to return home. We have bought and sold several homes over the years and have never encountered such an outstanding real estate agent as Alyssa. She listened to us and our needs.
When we came down to Bakersfield, she had many homes lined up for us to see. We were impressed that she pointed out the good and the bad of each property. After we had seen several homes we figured we would just have to look again on our next trip down, when Alyssa said there was another house nearby but that she hadn't seen it. We drove up to this house and we were immediately awed! When we walked in the front door and could see the beautiful back yard, it was everything we ever wanted In a home. Needless to say, we made an offer.
Throughout the entire long distance transaction Alyssa was there explaining everything and answering our questions either by phone or email. She had such patience with usl When escrow closed Alyssa gave us phone numbers of gardeners, locksmiths, security system companies and even utility and cable companies. We have Paul's parents looking after the property until we can get moved there and Alyssa arranged appointments with them to have these services started. Oh, we almost forgot to tell you she even brought boxes over to the sellers, and offered to help them move!
Alyssa has even kept us updated about the baby Hummingbirds whose mama built a nest on our property!! So to make a rather long story short, we truly thank God for Alyssa Knight and her expertise! We have never known such a knowledgeable and personable REALTOR!! We would recommend Alyssa again and again to handle any real estate transaction big or small. THANK YOU ALYSSA!!
Sincerely,
Paul and Linda M
I have known and worked with Alyssa Knight for over four years now, Being an out-of-town seller of properties in Bakersfield has presented special problems for me. After many bad experiences with other real estate agents, I was lucky enough to find Alyssa.
Among the real estate agents that I have worked with in the past 40 years, I have found Alyssa to be extremely knowledable, very experienced, hard working, and highly professional. In addition, she has wonderful people skills!
The market analyses she performed for me at no charge have always been very thorough and as detailed and accurate as any appraisal I have ever obtained from licensed appraisers. Alyssa provided me with expert advice on improvements, for example curb-appeal, and thoroughly explained to me why termite damage and dry-rot are often an issue in Bakersfield. To prevent being blind-sided in escrow, she recommended employing a licensed termite inspector to assess possible damage and get an estimate of repair costs prior to the sale of the property. She also has many great contacts and referred me to other excellent real estate proefssionals such as lenders and appraisers.
I would highly recommend Alyssa without reservation to anyone seeking the professional help of a Real Estate agent.
Sincerely,
Stanley T
Dear Alyssa,
Thank you so much for helping us in selling our home!
I would strongly recommend anyone buying or selling to contact you. You were honest, professional, hardworking & caring, start to finish. You are everything a REALTOR should be, & much more!
Thank you,
Amber & Mike M
To whom it may concern,
Recently my husband and I were advised by our accountant, that we MUST sell a rental property of ours within three months, or face heavy tax penalties.
Several friends spoke glowingly of Alyssa Knight's performance, in selling their property. We gave Alyssa a call and set up an appointment. After 5 minutes with her, we KNEW that we had found the right agent for our listing! She exuded confidence and enthusiasm, that the home would sell quickly, and for MORE money than the previous "hot-shot" REALTOR had indicated. Alyssa was very thorough in taking down every detail of the property.
Every step of the way, Alyssa was a seller's dream! She walked us through every step of the selling process, offering her sage wisdom in a number of areas that we needed assistance with. She was such a delight to work with! I have nothing but glowing words to describe her professional, yet friendly manner.
For anyone desiring knowledgeable, professional, expert service, and desiring to get TOP dollar for their home, in record time, then I can recommend no one else, BUT Alyssa Knight! A person would be short-changing themselves to use any agent other than Alyssa for their buying or selling.
Garth and Carol M
We would like to express our complete satisfaction with the experiencc of selling our home as well as the purchase of our new home with Alyssa Knight.
Alyssa, with her team of experts, from photographer to home designer, made all the difference in the way our home was vicwed by prospective buyers and ultimately led to it's sale. We were extremely satisfied with the professionalism and expertise she has shown. Her exemplary work ethic and genuine concern for her clients has made it a pleasure to work with Alyssa.
We consider her a friend as well as our agent, and will not hesitate to sign we her in the future.
Reuben & Serena A
Dear Alyssa,
Thank you so much for all your hard work. We are so glad we chose you to sell our home.
It's all the little things that made our home selling experience stress free. We appreciated all of your concise communication with us. Since this was our 1st time selling a home, you showed compassion and insight as to educating us step hy step through the process.
Thank you so much for taking the initiative in getting bids for repairing the bedroom window, roof inspection etc.
We have and will continue to recommend you to our friends and family.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Cameron & Julie M
Alyssa,
Thanks so much for all your diligent help in making the sale of our house so quick and painless. You were on top of every step of the process and kept us fully informed all the way through. We also appreciate the extra help you provided on the sale of some of the furnishings. We highly recommend you to everyone we know!
Our sincerest best wishes for you,
David & Loretta W
To Whom it May Concern,
My husband and I recently purchased a beautiful home in Bakersfield. Though the process of finding a home can be hectic and sometimes unnerving, our experience from beginning to end was nothing short of delightful. We worked with Alyssa Knight and she was a sheer joy.
We were so lucky to have had her as our agent. She was the perfect blend of professionalism, focus, kindness and personability. She made the process easy, fun, and effective. Since we were coming up from Los Angeles to look at homes, it could have made the process laborious, but Alyssa very quickly got a feel for what we were looking for from her detailed questions and genuine ability to listen. So we found our dream home in just three of four trips!
Also, Alyssa went above and beyond the call of duty with us, from allowing us to bring our dogs into the office (we couldn't find dogsitters) and helping us find furniture and get discounts, interior designers, numbers and addresses to get utilities turned on, etc. At one point one of our dogs was ill and she even located us a veterinarian in town in case the dog needed to go to the doctor while we were there. (Keep in mind, Alyssa isn't even a big dog fan!)
More importantly, she was completely unbiased in helping us find the home that was right for us. She didn't pressure us to go for a more expensive home, even though we technically could have. She had our best interest at heart and we could feel it.
Hands down, the thing I feel the most blessed about in this whole process is that I made a good friend in Alyssa. She is someone I trust, I like, and I would love to spend more time with! How many people can say that about their REALTOR?
Cheers,
Denise C and Andrew S (and Daisy beagle and Bella chihuahua)
To Whom It May Concern:
I was recently in the position that I needed to sell my rental home and this was my fIrst experience in selling a property. The timing of the need to sell was at the time in the market when it had fallen a bit from being a "seller's market". Alyssa Knight came to the property, evaluated the home and then discussed with me the plan of action for putting my home on the market. She was thorough and explained everything involved in the process and would happily go over things again when I couldn't recall what we had discussed. She kept in touch throughout the showing process of the home and let me have lots of feedback and guided me through. The home was sold quickly, quicker than I had anticipated, and at an excellent price point. The entire process was handled in a professional and friendly manner. I always felt that Alyssa was doing the best job that she could do for me and kept me informed of her expectations and time lines, It was evident that Alyssa worked long and hard on all of her accounts and made you feel like an individual at all times, I will be listing another property of mine within the year and would not consider using another REALTOR other than Alyssa Knight.
I will suggest to anyone selling a home that they give Alyssa a call and trust her completely with the handling of any of their real estate needs.
Sincerely,
Shana N
Dear Alyssa,
I just wanted to write you a quick note with my thanks for all your work in listing and selling my home. Many thanks are also included for helping me find and buy another home. When I sold my former home three years ago, without an agent, I learned an expensive lesson. Luckily this time around Kala had already found an honest and ethical person to work with. I appreciate the time and effort you put into making everything work out so well. It was great to be able to pick up the phone and get questions answered, and great to have access to all your contacts.
I don't think I know of any agents who show up on moving day and help out. Without you and your husband's help I don't think we would have finished. Once again, my thanks for such a positive experience.

Dear Watson Touchstone Realty,
I recently purchased a home from your agent Alyssa Knight. I always believed that a real estate agent's job was to find their client a home to purchase. Alyssa showed me that I was wrong if you have a good agent. I truly believe her job started when we found the house of our dreams. She provided me with the information and assistance to complete the transaction as smoothly as possible. She went beyond selling a home. She acted as a caring friend that helped with every aspect possible. She even went out at 6:00 in the morning to get boxes for us to use to pack. I would recommend her highly to anyone I know that is looking to sell or buy property. I would not buy or sell a property without her as my agent. I know she recently joined your company. You are very lucky to have an agent that cares so much for her clients and represents you with such class.
Sincerely,
Rhonda D
Just can't thank you enough!
Thank you for taking us under your wing! Your care for us during this process of buying our home has been above and beyound your call! We think you're the "best" and will never hesitate to let others know
Keep in touch!

Alyssa,
Thank you so much for your time and dedication to our happiness. You truly are a rarity in the field you've chosen. I had contacted seven other agents from various companies and you were the 1st to ask me my needs and desires before harping on "price". Thank you so much for everything, especially your friendship. You're a WONDERFUL person.

To Whom It May Concern:
We recently made plans to move my aging parents from Porterville to Bakersfield. This was not an easy task since they had lived there for over 40 years. We feel fortunate to have found Alyssa Knight to help us in the process. She was diligent in sending us listings of prospective homes in our price range. She was very good at listening to our wants and needs. Her encouragement and reassurance during the process was very important. She never seemed bothered by our many phone calls with questions and concerns. She understood the house market and did not hesitate to contact us or to help us make offers in a timely fashion. Most of all, I thought that she went over and beyond what is normally expected of a real estate agent. John and I would highly recommend Alyssa with no reservations and would be happy to speak with anyone personally who had questions about our dealings with her.
Sincerely,
John and Mary Ann R
To Whom It May Concern:
We recently purchased a home in Bakersfield. Alyssa Knight was the REALTOR who assisted us with the purchase. Since we do not live in the area, Alyssa was helpful in many aspects of the sale. She was always available to answer questions, fax us reports to be signed, aud placed several phone call for us. If there were problems, she would go the extra mile to fulfill last minute needs, and more. When it was time to sign the escrow documents, she set up an appointment to have the documents brought to us.
Alyssa Knight is professional and definitely works hard to meet your needs. If I should decide to sell or buy auother home, I will ask for Alyssa's assistance.
I recommend Alyssa Knight to anyone who would be interested in buying or selling a home with complete confidence. Alyssa has a friendly personality which enhances her ability to help her clients.
Frauk & Sue R
Dear Alyssa,
The first thing I want to do is Thank You, for your patience and all your help on making our dream come true.
We are not planning on moving or buying another house any time soon, but when we do you will be our first choice.
Thanks for your support, your ideas and all the help you gave us. Thank you for your honesty and sincerity.
Sincerly,
Alvaro + Wendy P
Dear Alyssa,
Right from the start, when we were deciding on either getting an already built pre-owned house as opposed to a brand new house, after asking your opinion, you came up with both positive and negative ideas so that we could come back with an educated decision for what was best for us. That was very helpful. And then after we officially made our decision, you backed us up with that decision 100%.
With the house we were going to get, if we had a question and you didn't know the answer at that moment, you would find out the answer within a more than sufficient amount of time. That also showed us that your clients are very important to you. You also were willing to not give up on our changes to the house such as the black sink. Even though the builders did not want to put it in, you still went to bat for us.
And finally thank you for not only working with us to buy a house, but remembering other things that were going on with our lives. You made us feel really special that you remembered. That means you take the time to get to know your clients.
Thank you for all your help. We greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Regie and Bonnie M
Alyssa,
Thank you so much for the awesome job you did in helping me find the perfect property in Bakersfield. You were amazing, making sure everything went smoothly with the closing and working so well with the title company. I can not say enough about what an awesome job you did.
Thank you so much for everything!
Susan Z
Alyssa
Just a quick note to thank you for all your help and expertise in selling homes these past few years. I can't think of any real estate agent who would work so hard (even moving help and cleaning help) for a client. I appreciate your honesty and energy and hope for your continued success. Thanks to John too!!
Love,
Janet C
