"My wife and I just bought our first house through Chris, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! Chris is EXACTLY the agent you need in this market as he is a hustler who helped us secure our dream home through his extensive professional knowledge … and networking, masterful negotiation skills, hard work, and responsiveness. Chris truly had our best interest at heart by providing honest critiques of the houses, neighborhoods, and during the negotiation process. We never would have been able to secure our new home in this climate (i.e. low seller inventory, high demand, bidding wars) without Chris and his true skill and professionalism, and quickness. Given his professional contacts through Pearson Smith Reality, we were able to view many homes before they hit the market which is CRITICAL in this market. Chris was always reachable and extremely personable and responsive to all of our questions.Chris walked us through the entire home buying process with a great deal of professionalism, patience, and demonstrated his extensive knowledge of the current state of the market. He listened to exactly what our needs were and immediately began working for us via setting up tailored searches. We found our house before it even came on the market. Chris was able to secure us the first house tour time slot on a Thursday morning. As we are currently living abroad, Chris utilized virtual tours and included our parents on the tour in our place. Once we determined we truly wanted this house after the viewing, Chris helped us build an offer which we made that same day. He was in constant contact with the seller's realtor to help us get our offer accepted the next day, which stopped the rest of the showings and open house over the weekend, avoided a bidding war through his strong negotiating skill. Throughout the closing process, Chris was there for us and walked us through every step of the way. He provided excellent recommendations for lenders, inspectors, appraisers, etc. If you can't already tell by this lengthy review, Chris is the real deal! We couldn't have been more pleased and happy with the entire experience with him. Not only did we find a realtor for life, we now consider him a friend. We have recommended him to all of our family, friends, and colleagues. And thanks to him, we just closed on our dream home!"
