I believe I would have had a totally different experience if not for Christa. If I ever we became overwhelmed she was there to help. She explained this complex, sometimes technical, process to us point by point so we knew what to expect and what step was next. She offered great advice and actually helped us save money. Even when her part of the process had ended, she was there to answer all our questions, no matter how insignificant and she worked so hard with us and for us! She’s a genuine, extremely knowledgeable person and great at her job. She impressed us so much, we hired her to sell our home and have already recommended her to friends.

We had the pleasure of selling our home with Christa in the Spring of 2018 and were thrilled with the outcome! We had interviewed two other Realtors and they didn’t come close to Christa’s level of professionalism or authenticity. She immediately gained our trust and confidence and we were very impressed with her attentiveness to detail, clarity on the entire process, and constant communication throughout. If we needed to sell another home she would be my first call and I can’t recommend her highly enough!
– Ian and Kim

From house hunting to bidding to closing, Christa was there every step of the way to make my purchase of a home seamless. It is clear she loves what she does and each client is more than a bottom line. I feel like I not only gained a home I love, but also a friend!

“If you want a realtor who knows her stuff and will stick with you throughout the entire process, then look no further and immediately sign with Christa. She sold our home in Clifton Park in 3 days and made a highly complicated process seem easy. Christa was a true professional walking us through step by step without missing any details. She always followed through and was literally available anytime of day for our questions. Most importantly, the moral support she provided to us when a difficult, red tape situation arose, was above and beyond. She never gave up and kept us calm even after we moved 800 miles away. I don’t think our experience could’ve been any better. I’d give Christa 10 stars if I could.” – Tricia D.

“Christa was great to work with. She was very patient and helped us throughout the process in getting our home finalized. We had built a completely customized house and she patiently explained to us all the details and helped us design a house that we liked. It was a long process for us because of the customization and Christa, with her expertise, knowledge and experience, navigated and guided us through this entire process patiently. Christa was helpful during our closing process as well as she helped us put pressure on the bank’s and seller’s attorneys to get the closing done quickly. She walked us through to be prepared for some of the upcoming activities to help us move through this process quickly. I would definitely recommend her to anybody who has plans to buy or sell homes in the near future. Thank you Christa for all your help and guidance. As a first time home buyer, we definitely leveraged and benefited from your experience and expertise. Thank you and appreciate it.”
