I wholeheartedly recommend Christine Callender of Exit Realty - Pikes Peak as your Realtor, whether selling or purchasing property. I first met her as part of a neighborhood group and soon learned of her deep involvement with our community. A new job required us to sell our home in the summer of 2022. After interviewing potential Realtors, Christine stood out for being very enthusiastic and well-prepared. She was familiar with the Briargate area of Colorado Springs (other neighborhoods, too) and had already sold other homes nearby. She made herself available for both phone calls and in-person advising. I know that she gives just as much time to her buyer clients.
Christine does everything she can to help sellers get their properties ready for market, including recommendations on updating, staging, exterior improvements, and the best time of the year to sell. She researched market trends for our neighborhood in order to advise us on the optimum price - maximizing the sale price while also not exceeding recent comparable sales too much so that the house could sell quickly. She was knowledgeable about each home for sale in our neighborhood, explaining how ours contrasted with them and why we should ask for the price we settled on.
In the end, our house was under contract BEFORE it was staged and put on the market because Christine was able to let a young family know that their dream home was coming for sale soon, even though it wasn't quite ready; they toured the house in its unkempt state and made an offer in a couple of days! This saved my husband and me weeks off the selling process, allowing us to proceed with our own home purchase in another state. We got slightly over our asking price, which was on the higher end of competitive at the time of the sale.
Your results will depend on the market at the time you are buying / selling, along with the quality of the properties on offer; but, you will get Christine's expertise and effort on each and every transaction. I have had experience with a Realtor who wasn't putting a lot of effort or offering good advice, and I know this won't happen with Christine. You will be happy with your choice! read more
