Chris was awesome to work with on my recent home purchase. I am new to Austin and didn't know the area well, and was also unfamiliar with the home buying process. I wanted a realtor who could add more than what I had already learned through my own research, and that's what I got with Chris. My husband and I met with Chris over the phone from another state to explain what we were looking for in a home, and Chris talked to us about what might be a good fit. When touring homes Chris would point out things I hadn't noticed, and gave insightful feedback. We weren't in Austin during the offer through close process and Chris worked hard to make sure everything ran smoothly on our behalf, including doing a final walkthrough the day before closing and sharing it via video. Chris was also able to refer us to other professionals, including the inspector and mortgage broker, who were equally knowledgeable and professional. It was clear that Chris, and all the professionals he recommended, takes his job seriously and works hard to be the best. Throughout the process Chris was extremely responsive, knowledgeable of the city and the process, and a pleasure to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again and would refer him without reservation to friends and family. Thanks for everything, Chris! read more

We were first time home buyers, and Chris was recommended to us by a close friend. Overall we had a great home buying experience. Chris was not pushy, but he was very diligent. He had a lot of knowledge about financing options and strategies, and we were able to utilize options we didn't know about to get a larger down payment. Chris responded well to what we told him we were looking for. I am detail oriented and had a lot of questions. Chris provided answers to us quickly and made himself available to work with our schedule. During the negotiation process, he helped us come up with some creative options to get value in different areas in addition to the list price. He was on the same page as us when counter-offers came back, including ones that weren't in our favor. It's not simple or easy going through this process, which is why building a relationship and trust is a key component. Chris made it clear from the beginning that he wanted to be our realtor for this purchase and beyond. Our interests were his interest, and he was dedicated to making the buying experience better for us. Although we continued to ask questions throughout the entire process, it was easy to build trust with Chris. My wife and I both recommend working with him. read more

We recently purchased our new home using Chris Beer and Green City Realty. I can't tell you what an absolutely amazing experience my husband and I had. We had worked with other brokers who were genuinely just around to collect a check. They wouldn't do walk thru's with us, discuss the amenities, area, or ANYTHING! Then we found Chris! Chris not only walked all of the properties with us, he helped us negotiate the best rates, worked tirelessly for us while we were away on vacation, pointed out potential problems on some of the homes we were interested in (i.e. structural, etc), and was just overall very knowledgeable about the entire process. We ended up buying a home in Round Rock that was not only our dream home, but it was also very eco-friendly, which means we will save money on utilities. Chris was also present when it came time for the closing process. He was literally at every junction of this process and we can't THANK HIM enough. I would highly recommend any of my friends, family or any person in the market to purchase a home with Chris!!! He is truly one of a kind and I guarantee you won't be disappointed!!!!! read more

In 2010, Chris Beer, owner and founder of Green City Realty, helped me to purchase my home in South Austin. Back then, he was a real estate agent working for another brokerage outfit. From the beginning to the end, Chris was energetic, enthusiastic, and 110% dedicated to the process. Chris is not only extremely knowledgeable about local and national market trends and developed convincing and effective strategies based on these insights, his expertise (MBA), and previous experiences, most importantly he is a great listener and was able to gear his energies towards my individual needs and desires. Chris has continued to be committed to me as his client beyond the transaction and generously shares his advice on all aspects of my property needs and provides me with updates regarding current market developments. I was extremely happy to learn that Chris is now the founding owner of Green City Realty. I highly recommend working with him. For me, the question is not, "IF" I will return to Chris for future real estate needs. The question is "WHEN" this will happen! read more

We are from out of state. Last month Chris lined up multiple properties fitting our criteria in central Austin. We arrived and toured the properties the next day and made an offer that afternoon. At5:00 that deal fell through, so the next day Chris found additional "not yet on the market" properties. Only hours before our flight departure we finally toured a property that we liked and eventually closed on. I had no prior knowledge of his exceptional professionalism, work ethic and skills, but after that late effort to make our trip productive I know that I was getting a top-notch professional as a realtor. Sometimes it is how people perform when things are not going perfectly that makes you realize they are high performers. He also made sure we got concessions where we could negotiate them and made the process easy to complete. I can enthusiastically recommend Chris to anyone who wants the absolute best! You can't do better. Keith read more

I absolutely recommend Chris Beer at Green City Realty. Recently my fiancé and I decided to purchase our first home. Not only was it our first home, but we were moving halfway across the U.S.! I am so happy Chris was recommended to me, he made the whole process so simple for us. His web site portal is easy to use and to save homes I was interested in. When we came to town we met with Chris then he took us to look at homes we were interested in. Chris was always quick to keep us updated every step of the way. We finished the home buying process from New Jersey, and if I had any questions (and trust me there were plenty) Chris was only a phone call away. Also, being able to sign all of our documents online was super easy. I would absolutely recommend Chris to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Austin area. He defiantly went above and beyond anything we were expecting. read more

Chris did an excellent job handling our home buying process. He really knows the Austin market and a lot of the financials and financing for different loan types. We took out a VA loan for our first home purchase and Chris did a fantastic job keeping our home search on track for what was best for the type of loan we were recieving. In the end we got an excellent 6 year old house with new appliances in the price range we were looking for and our seller paid off a majority of the closing costs thanks to Chris's negation skills. He is fantastic with advice and insite and he will give it to you striaght, but in a very gingerly way. He will answer pretty much any question you have he does his homework and overall he's just a great guy. Very smart and he picks up on what you like very quickly. read more

I truly had my best realtor experience ever with Chris! I was in a unique position of needing to find a profitable investment property in Austin quickly and Chris rose to the challenge. He was professional, responsive and had a keen eye for detail, but most importantly...he listened!! He spent time before looking at houses to understand my needs/my criteria for the "right" house. He had all the pertinent information that I needed to make a decision at his fingertips so I could compare not just the aesthetics of a particular house, but the potential profit for each as well. By day 2 of looking, I swear he could read my mind and knew what I thought about a house before I could even tell him!! I will definitely be calling on Chris to help find our next two houses later this year!! read more

A remarkable real estate agent sells your property for the most money in the least amount of time. Chris Beer is that remarkable agent! From the moment my spouse and I met with Chris, we knew we were in good hands. He encouraged our active involvement and consistently provided thoughtful feedback. Chris's real estate savvy and his meticulous market analysis yielded multiple offers days after we listed our Clarksville property. Astonishingly, we sold a month later, due in no small part to Chris's keen negotiation skills. Throughout the home-selling process, we felt Chris had our best interest in mind, and working with a trustworthy agent like Chris is truly invaluable. If you're looking for an ethical, diplomatic agent with a proven track record, Chris Beer is your guy. read more

This was our first experience buying property, and thanks to Chris, it was totally satisfying and enjoyable. We did not close on a particularly high-value sale, but nevertheless, Chris was consistently prompt and helpful and I got the impression that he was 100% on our side and looking out for our best interests. He helped us secure and negotiate a contract at lower than asking price (in practically downtown Austin!) and we couldn't be happier with our new home and the experience as a whole. The whole process was entirely painless and efficient, requiring minimal effort and no worry or concern on our end. I highly recommend Chris and Green City Realty for anyone that wants an honest, professional, and knowledgeable agent in the Austin market. read more

Chris is awesome! He helped us sell our home very quickly. Chris does his homework and is extremely professional and thorough. Prior to us putting our house up for sale, Chris came out to our home and gave incredible recommendations on how to stage our house. He was right on. He researched the market in our area and priced our home very competitively. The pictures that he took of our home was spectacular! He's a bit of a perfectionist but it served us well. Our home sold within a few days of being on the market. We understand that a lot of this depends on the market but Chris really gave it 100%. He was there to answer questions throughout the process...very responsive. We highly recommend Green City Realty! read more

I worked with Chris to buy several investment properties in Austin area. He is nothing short of excellent! Being a remote investor he was my eyes and ears on the ground. He worked with me to shortlist the properties that would work given my requirements and would go video it for me and provide me honest and valuable feedback, market analysis and recommendation on the right price to go in for the offer while not being too pushy. His follow-thru and negotiation was awesome and I felt like he looked out for me at every opportunity. I ended up recommending my friends to Chris which I don't do if I don't have the utmost confidence in the service I am getting. I will absolutely use him in any future transactions. read more

My experience with Chris could not have been better. Chris is so knowledgeable and helped my husband and I purchase our first home. He is very honest and not pushy at all. He truly wants the best for his clients. Chris stayed calm, was always available (including nights and weekends) to answer questions and show us properties, and truly made the house hunting experience great, even in a very competitive market in Austin. We will definitely recommend Chris to all of our friends. Furthermore, Chris knows the real estate business very well and was able to recommend a good appraiser. He also negotiated with the seller in order to make sure we were pleased with the outcome of the sale. read more

Chris was phenomenal to work with! It was my first buying experience and he was just downright fabulous -- always ready to answer any questions any time of day, providing guidance and expertise along the way. He also was sure to point out, anywhere he could, the cost saving benefits of any features for the long-term. Even better, every time I told someone I was working with Chris, everyone (from the loan processors to the inspection, etc.) would say: "Oh! Chris is great! You got a good one." He's obviously formed great relationships in the area which helps to push everything through more smoothly. I'd recommend him to any of my friends -- and obviously strangers too! read more

We were incredibly fortunate to work with Chris while purchasing our new home in Austin. He provided us with the necessary guidance while concurrently having our best interests in mind. Chris has a vast understanding of the Austin market which was invaluable to us during this experience as we had just recently moved from the Midwest. Above all, Chris' interpersonal skills are what set him apart from other agents. Not only was he able to negotiate a great deal for us, but he made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. He went above and beyond for us and we're extremely grateful. We would absolutely recommend Chris for anyone looking to buy a home! read more

Chris is one of the nicest persons I've met. He has a great experience and is a very detail-oriented person. He described the whole process of purchasing a home when we first met and explained clearly what I have to do. He is very professional and knows how to do his job. I'm so glad to have him as my agent and he helped me to buy the best house that I possibly can imagine. He works hard with us like driving around the Austin - Round Rock - Cedar Park - Leander area or staying up late to work on our offers. He really made my life easier with his effort. I highly recommend Chris to everyone who's interested in buying a house in the great Austin area. read more

Chris was great in helping my husband and I purchase our first home. He really took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. Chris knows a lot about Austin and how its recent growth has and will effect different neighborhoods in the future. When viewing different homes, he gives us our space to look around and offers his expert advice on what to look for. Even when we took a break for a year to get our finances in order, he was patient and picked up right where we left off. He makes the buying process effortless. He responds very quickly any day of the week via text or phone call. We would highly recommend Chris! read more

We hired Chris to help us find a rental property out in Austin, TX. We expected this process to be a bit difficult and stressful as we live in California, but he made this process so much easy for us. He was very knowledgeable and was not afraid to walk away from a deal, which was the case for one property, and it made us feel like he had our best interest at heart. He was available 24/7 to answer all our questions whether it be by phone, text, email, etc. He even took great videos of the property for us to view as we were unable to see the property in person. I would definitely hire him again for my next purchase! read more

Let me start by saying I have used three different real estate agents in Austin, and Chris is the only agent that I would use again. In a sea of subpar and mediocre agents, Chris is a stand out. He assisted me by listing my home. I was out of state for the sales process, and we had some difficult tenants with 6 weeks left on their lease. Thanks to Chris I had two over asking price offers, and a ratified contract within 7 days. He was very responsive, knowledgeable, and made me feel I was in good hands. I recommend Chris to anyone that is looking for a great agent and won't settle for mediocre representation. read more
