Chris is an extremely talented real estate professional who made the process of buying our first home go as smooth as possible. When asked, Chris would provide information about the home and answered any questions we had. Chris was also very flexible with arranging house viewings, and getting our documents to us, Chris would even remind us when something needed our attention and was highly professional in our communication with him. Chris also provided helpful insight on repairs, and writing up our offer. If we had any questions during the process Chris was always responsive and genuinely provided as much information as he could. We never felt unsure of Chris’s abilities in this entire process and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home!
We really liked working with Chris. He gave us great advice and the entire process went really smoothly. 19 days from listing to closing. He really knows the local market, and priced our house correctly, which really helped us find a buyer right away.
Chris was awesome! He went over and above to sell my home! His communication was first rate, always keeping me apprised of what was happening with prospective buyers and what I needed to know about the selling process! I always received quick responses when I had questions and he always made me feel ole I was his only client! I will definitely call him again on my next move!!
Chris helped us buy the home we are moving out of now. He was amazing in 2010 and was amazing in getting us an amazing deal on our new home in Lebanon....and we will be using Chris to sell our current home in Keizer. There's working with real estate agents.....then there is working with Chris. We will never use anyone else in the future. He is that amazing! He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable, and VERY hands-on throughout the process. I would consider my wife and I to be quite knowledgeable about buying and selling homes, but Chris showed us how little we know (compared to him) and how valuable he was to the process. It just wouldn't have turned out as nearly as satisfying of a process without him.
Chris did a great job getting us acquainting with Salem Oregon and looking at every property available. He was very punctual and, for our descriptions, knew exactly what we’re looking for. We have a great experience with Chris and would recommend them every time!
Chris was outstanding. This was complicated realestate sale and Chris provided excellent service from beginning to end. He assisted us with all the needed repairs to get the house ready to sell by assisting with hiring contractors and acted as a go between, coordinating the work and overseeing the work to completion. We could not have done this with out him and I highly recommend him to anyone.
It is so hard these days to find someone with customer service skills let alone exceptional ones, or someone who goes that extra 100 miles for the customer. Well, Chris is that way and more, much more. If I lived in Oregon I would gladly wear a shirt sharing what a pleasure he has been doing business with and honestly, I'm not sure we could have done it without him. I rarely leave someone a review but I cannot recommend him enough!!!
Working with Chris was awesome! I can’t thank him enough for all the incredible work he put into closing this deal! I’m so grateful for how he made everything come together so smoothly. We were lucky to work with him.
Chris did a wonderful job helping me sell my home. He is very responsive and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him for any of your home buying or selling needs! Our house sold within 2 weeks alter being listed.
Chris did an excellent job. He helped us sell our home, to a very difficult buyer. He was so good at holding our hand and making the situation better. I couldn’t imagine ever going through this without him! He handled the calls, got right on top of any of the matters. Thank you Chris, I appreciate you!I hope if you ever need an experienced agent, you give Chris a call. He will not disappoint.
