We met Chris by chance when we started the search for a new home. We are not originally from Washington so the task of relocating a family with kids in mind, was daunting because there are so many beautiful areas. Our first encounter with Chris was unexpectedly comfortable and very down to earth because he gave us great advice with regard to drive times, schools, and quite frankly pros and cons that were real. We were immediately impressed with how much Chris seemed to listen and hear what was truly important to us as a family and as individuals in the family. This was all before we actually found a home to initiate an offer. Once we found the home that we felt could be a perfect fit for our family, timing, negotiations, and offers became essential. In a market which is highly competitive, like Washington's housing market, Chris once again proved to be effective, professional, and timely. In this case, he made us feel comfortable seeking a VA loan and did not shy away from negotiating the terms and finding value in initiating a business relationship with the seller's agent so that agreeable terms could be realized sooner than later. The process is traditionally stressful but Chis' professionalism and knowledge of the industry made the process as bearable as it could be. Obviously we bought our first home in Washington and are settling into not only a beautiful home but a wonderful community. I highly recommend Chris if you are seeking truth rather than fluff and someone who can not only send you emails of possible open houses but more importantly, someone who is in the game with their finger on the pulse of the industry so it benefits you as his client. Thank you Chris! read more
