What People Are Saying about Christie

“Christie is one of the most capable, competent, professional, and expert realtors I have ever worked with. She has helped us purchase two home now and has always approached this with poise and confidence - her advice around what to watch out for, what to be thinking about, and how to navigate difficult situations was nothing less than superb. I never felt that she was trying to “just make a sale” - she was really there to help us find a home, a rare trait in the industry. Would highly recommend!”

Never once did she pressure me into making an offer on something I didn’t absolutely love. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Christie again! ”

Highly recommended and looking forward to using her again in the future.”

We looked at a number of houses in a range of prices and conditions and Christine always had great advice and a good eye for all sorts of details. When the time came to submit an offer they worked late into the night to prepare my paperwork to make sure everything was sent over in time. They were even patient with me when I was slow to respond due to being busy in my own life! I can't thank Christine enough for helping me to find my new home. I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor!”
