"We had a great experience working with Christine. They made the process of renting our apartment seamless and stress-free. From the initial listing to securing the perfect tenants, they were professional, attentive, and always available to answer any questions we had. We really appreciated their knowledge of the market and how quickly everything was handled. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient broker!" - Jason and Tamara (2024)

"Christine Barranca helped us find a dream apartment in Brooklyn, as our agent. Because Chris is tireless, warm, and incredibly knowledgable, she really helped ease a normally very stressful process. We always knew were were in good hands. Her sense of properties in the city, down to the last detail, is so reassuring and helpful. There’s nothing quite like someone who really looks carefully and truly cares about the process. Chris listens attentively, helps weigh pros and cons, and offers unexpected insights. From the very beginning, when she jumped in with very little notice (and interrupted her vacation for us) to closing she was there with us every step. Also, she has a truly exception network of collaborators, each as friendly and helpful as she is. We feel so lucky to have worked with Chris." - Dan and Elisa N. (2024)

"I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Chris Barranca. Not only did she present the apartment I purchased with great diligence and transparency, she also advised me in an extremely honest matter not often seen in the real estate world. Furthermore, she was very involved in assisting in the financing process, working closely with my lawyer and banker and lastly negotiated effectively and swiftly on my behalf to get the price into my comfort zone. Best real estate broker I have worked with!" - Sebastian M. (2022)

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Christine Barranca during my apartment search, and I can't recommend her highly enough. The buying process can be daunting, but Christine was there every step of the way, guiding me to the best neighborhoods and always looking out for my best interests. Her expertise of NYC and her dedication were evident from the start. She took the time to understand my needs and preferences, ensuring that every apartment we viewed was a potential fit. What stood out the most was her unwavering commitment to finding me the perfect home. Thanks to Christine's exceptional guidance and support, I was able to purchase my apartment with an all-cash offer. The entire process was smooth and stress-free, and I truly felt that I was in the best hands throughout. If you're looking for a real estate broker who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly cares about their clients, I highly recommend Christine Barranca. She made what could have been a stressful experience into a seamless and enjoyable journey." - Alison R. (2024)

"Chris Barranca began by understanding better than we did the kind of apartment we really wanted and helping us find the best possible version of it at a better price than we dreamed possible. And that wasn’t even the hard part! She then guided us through the truly tortuous and sometimes despair-inducing process, first of getting to contract and second (this was the truly hard part) of dealing with the co-op application and the demands of a particularly rigorous co-op Board. Without her expertise, advice and encouragement, we would never have thought to look where she took us and never been able to buy what she showed us, Our gratitude is unbounded." - Walter and Jenn (November 2023)

" Earlier this year my sister had serious health issues and had to move out to an assisted living facility in New Jersey. I contacted Christine Barranca to sell her apartment in Gramercy. On our first meeting, I knew that Christine and her partner Ella Butler were our agents. They guided us through what they thought would be the best way to market the sale. Their advice and resources were invaluable! Since I was out of state, their assistance in getting the apartment ready was extremely helpful and saved me multiple trips to the city. Most importantly, they handled all the challenges and issues that arose in a very professional manner and calm manner. I felt confident they would get everything accomplished; they did and my sister and I are extremely grateful! I would be happy and honored to recommend them to anyone seeking real estate advice. ." - Eddy and Rhona K - July 2023.

"Christine Barranca is a hands-on real estate professional. After 2 of our buyers were rejected by the co-op board while using a different real estate broker, we met with Chris who then took over the listing. She immediately made us feel confident in her ability to show our apartment to qualified buyers. She personally spoke to the stager to help us out since it was the second time in a row we were using the same stager for our apartment. Chris was totally accessible by phone, text, and email; always getting right back to us. We received a number of bids. Her negotiations enabled us to reach a price that was totally on target with what we were hoping to get. She was on top of and communicated with us when any issue arose. Even on the day of the closing, the buyers made an unreasonable request and tried to postpone the closing. Chris with her steady demeanor and facts...put her foot down and we closed as planned. We would highly recommend Christine Barranca to handle any real estate needs." - Carol and Jill W.

★★★★★
Christine helped us find and purchase our condominium and our experience was exceptional. We were impressed with Christine's level of commitment to finding the best fit for the needs of our family. Christine was consistently communicative and provided guidance at every step of the process. Every concern that we had was addressed, at one point, Christine gathered information that helped us make the decision between two properties. The delivery of her information is straightforward and well thought-out. I would recommend Christine to a client and would work with her again in the future." - Christina C. (Jan 2023)

★★★★★
I can't recommend Christine highly enough. In a competitive marketplace her expertise, understanding and honesty shone through like few brokers I have used in the past. Her long experience in the business was evident from the first - from pricing the apartment correctly, to keeping me totally informed of changing circumstances, to navigating a complicated board, her steady hand provided peace of mind throughout the process, and you can't put a price on that. In a business where realtors can promise you anything to get your business, Christine and her team really delivered. In addition, she was really fun to work with and took the agita out of selling. I can't think of many situations as stressful as selling your home, and she made it as easy as possible for us." - Ellen G. (Jan 2023)

★★★★★
"Chris is everything you would want in a real estate agent plus more, because she is actually genuine and warm...something majorly missing from the industry. She helped us purchase a home in Brooklyn about a month ago after navigating the sparse market for the majority of the spring and summer. She is born, raised, and resides in Brooklyn, which definitely helped put my trust in her opinion while checking out homes/prices. We anticipate working with her to sell our current house next spring and have very little worry about the process after seeing how she handled our purchase. If you are in need of an agent, do not hesitate to contact Chris; she is one of a kind and someone I consider a friend" -Melissa & Jason F. (Sep 2023)

★★★★★
"Chris Barranca came to me highly recommended for my first co-op purchase in Manhattan. Due to her guidance and knowledge, it was a seamless process and I ended up with an apartment that I absolutely love. Chris found several apartments that were good fits for my needs and budget. When I landed on the one I wanted, she took me through the whole process without a hitch. From negotiating the offer, to helping me compile the co-op board application and through the closing, she was fantastic. She is responsive, organized, knowledgeable and personable. She was a pleasure to have as my broker and I hope to work with her again in the future." - Alice G. (Feb 2022)

★★★★★
"Working with Chris was a total joy. I was selling my Manhattan co-op from my new address across the country in Los Angeles, so I was expecting everything to be doubly complicated because of the distance between me and the property. But Chris and her team made everything super-easy, with constant updates and advice. She arranged for the apartment to be beautifully re-done and staged and handled every situation with aplomb, resulting in a quick sale free of worry and hassle. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone selling an apartment in Manhattan." - Jonathan S. (Feb 2022)

★★★★★
"My husband and I first met Chris Barranca in 2010 when she was the listing agent for an apartment in West Village. Chris was so pleasant and helpful and professional that we asked her to be our real estate agent when we decided to buy that apartment. Ten years later, when we decided to sell that apartment, we again chose Chris to be our agent because we knew she would be an honest broker who would fight for our interests and be a pleasure to work with. She took care of everything when we needed to fix up our apartment, and she also made all the arrangements to stage our apartment. When we sold our apartment in February, Chris helped us navigate the crazy obstacles of doing a real estate closing in the midst of a pandemic quarantine. We trust Chris, and we trust her judgment. We highly recommend her to be your real estate agent." - Susan S.

"I found Christine through my ever-helpful doorman who told me she was the most successful, efficient, and pleasant broker operating in our Gramercy Park Co-op building. I had interviewed several other brokers but just a few minutes into my meeting with Chris, I knew that she was the one I would select. She did not disappoint!

She guided me through the cumbersome sale process with just the right amount of knowledge, experience, and respect. She took most of the responsibility off my shoulders and only called on me when necessary. I trusted her judgment and experience and was not disappointed. After the preparation and presentation, she presented me with two viable offers after only 6 days on the market! And I got my asking price, no negotiation!

I highly recommend Christine for the sale of your Manhattan apartment."
- Annie P (2021)

"It was a pleasure working with Christine Barranca to purchase our home in Brooklyn Heights! Chris is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in New York City real estate, which made the home buying process so much easier for us to navigate as first-time home buyers in the city. Chris also had unique knowledge of the Brooklyn market that came as a true asset throughout our search. We feel so fortunate to have been able to work with Chris and would highly recommend her to others seeking to buy or sell in NYC!" - Amy & Cody F. (Aug 2021)

"Chris Barranca has been simply incredible in helping me purchase my apartment in Manhattan. She chaperoned me through every step of the sometimes daunting process, tirelessly explored every avenue to secure financing and finally negotiated a great price for me. In the 3 As of professionalism – ability, availability, and affability – I can only give her the highest marks in each category. Chris is a professional of utmost integrity and has the negotiation skills to attain the best possible result for her client. There were times in which I was beset by serious doubts whether I could pull off such a big purchase, but it was Chris who gave me the confidence to not give up until the deal was through. I can only recommend her in the highest terms." - Dr. Sebastian M. (Aug 2021)

★★★★★
"When my mother passed away, one very difficult task I had to address was the sale of her cherished apartment. Chris and Ella did such a great job for me in so many respects. First and foremost, being very respectful of my emotions in selling my childhood home. Second, being honest with me in all respects, from what was the appropriate list price to what we needed fix/update (or not) to best show the apartment. We were able to use Compass Concierge’s services to pay for necessary repairs by third party vendors with funds advanced by Compass with no interest charged and repaid by the apartment sale proceeds. Their results were simply amazing. Apartment was listed on a Friday, with an offer two weeks later. I can't Thank Chris and Ella enough, we could not have done it without their help and expertise. I highly recommend them to anyone selling a property!" - Gideon A. (July 2020)

"Christine and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were extremely professional and knew exactly what to do to get our apartment staged, photographed, and on the market in no time. We received 7 qualified offers within one week of listing, driving the price well over what we initially expected. She clearly has extensive experience working with NYC Coop boards and made the process as seamless as possible. We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend working with Chris and her team!" - Jennifer K (2019)

★★★★★
"Chris came highly recommended to us and upon first meeting her, we knew why. We immediately felt her dedication, care, and knowledge. We knew, instantly, we were in the right hands. As first-time sellers, Chris took plenty of time explaining the whole selling process. Her depth of knowledge for the market shone through and eased our anxiety. It was an emotional first step, but Chris’ core values and family background seemed to mesh with ours. We shared similar family stories and traditions and really got to know each other on a personal level. This helped to make the process feel less business like and more personable.

Chris is organized and sees the whole process through from start to finish including using a most talented and experienced team which includes her photographer. When we arrived home after the photo shoot, we were in awe of how beautiful our home looked. It still was our home with all of our personal décor and family memories, but with some special touches by Chris. And when we saw the actual photos, we were blown away. We wanted to buy our own home! Based on the market, Chris knew exactly when to list the house. We were in contract within six weeks after listing the home for sale. Chris found us the perfect buyer for our home- a family who fell in love with our home instantly.

This process was amazing. Chris made the selling process stress free for us. Her professionalism and strengths in communication and organization guided us along the way as she did everything. Chris always kept us informed of what was happening at every step. Based on the above attributes, we would fully recommend and entrust Chris as a broker.

"This review is long overdue. We were introduced to the Barranca Group at Compass through a friend and have been really grateful to have found them. Right off the bat, Ella and Christine were on top of things, working diligently to understand exactly what we were looking for. They were always available for any and all questions. Ella and Christine made sure to have a pipeline of possible apartments to view and were always very forthright and accurate in their assessments of the suitability of each apartment we viewed given our specific list of requirements. Buying in NYC is a unique experience with rules that are very different from other cities, but Chris and Ella were able to help us navigate through the red tape and find us exactly what we wanted. In addition to being competent, they are both warm and wonderful human beings, and they have become our NYC family. We definitely highly recommend them to anyone looking for a true partner in the search for a home. Seven star team!!!" - Haresh & Manjula L. (May 2019)

★★★★★
"The Compass team were beyond outstanding. Before I met Ella Butler and Christine Barranca I had spoken to a number of other brokers who priced my apartment at levels that were disappointingly low compared to what I knew my property was worth. They had plenty of good reasons for this, it seemed, but it did not feel right.

When Ella and Christine came in they immediately saw the full potential of my property, and confidently priced at a level I felt comfortable with. They were obviously well seasoned, had a wealth of experience, and were neither brash nor timid, they just knew exactly what they were doing and how to do it. And they followed through 100%.

Every step of the way Ella and Christine discussed options with me and had a sound strategy laid out. They communicated frequently and with a lot of humor and kindness – they were always real, honest and upfront, and I knew I could count on them to tell me everything I needed to know, when I needed to know it. They gave me clear instructions, connected me with all the right people from lawyers to photographers, listened to and swiftly addressed any questions I had. They were never too busy to take a call or to explain something to me for the 50th time.

I travel a lot for work, and they managed my property beautifully while I was out of town – I never had to worry about anything – I knew they always showed my apartment to its best advantage – they were utterly competent, trustworthy and the most fun, enthusiastic and smart people to work with!

Even though they faced significant challenges with my coop board, they handled all with patience, utmost civility, tact and grace. They knew exactly what needed to be done every step of the way and made sure the process was moving just as it should. Their interpersonal and negotiation skills were priceless. My apartment sold quickly, to the right person, for the right price.

Ella and Christine made what could have been an incredibly stressful time so easy and exciting for me. They are the most talented, kind, smart, competent and personable team imaginable! They are simply Masters at what they do. I could not have been any happier with my experience and would work with them again in a heartbeat. I almost wish I had another place to sell just so I could hang out with them!

"We cannot recommend Christine Barranca as a realtor (and friend) highly enough. She has skillfully guided us through 2 purchases and a sale with professionalism, attention to detail (the importance of which I cannot stress enough) honest advice, and good humor. As a realtor in Washington DC of 35 years, I felt completely confident in Chris’s advice, counsel and guidance. She was initially referred to us by friends and we have subsequently done the same- there’s no better testament to her skills than the delight in referring her onward." - Beverly & Mark N. (Mar 2019)

★★★★★
"Christine and Ella represented me in the sale of my one bedroom Upper East Side co-op and then the purchase of a two bedroom in the same neighborhood. They are true professionals who live and breathe NYC real estate. I never worried once that something wasn’t getting done. They made the whole process easy, seamless and successful!" - Gary L. (Jan 2019)

★★★★★
"Christine’s instincts are on point! We explained to her what we wanted and after a few house viewings, she knew what we were looking for – a big house, with a driveway, garage, and established neighborhood to raise a family, not just an income property in a neighborhood with potential growth. She was very honest with her facts and opinions about neighborhoods we were interested in. It was refreshing. I lived in Brooklyn all my life and did not want to leave. I wanted to be in a house similar to the one I grew up in but a better neighborhood. To achieve that, Christine accompanied us to house viewings in neighborhoods we wanted to be in and in other neighborhoods within our original budget (and they were not pretty). By instinct, she knew we were not happy with some of the choices we had originally picked within our budget, and we were definitely not going to find a house we liked in a neighborhood we liked within the time frame we wanted. Her suggestion was to see other houses above our budget, but manageable. Needless to say, after we saw houses in neighborhoods we actually wanted to live in that checked off all of our wants and needs, we increased our budget. It was worth it. And now, we’re proud homeowners! I have to also add that Christine is extremely patient, and for that I am grateful! I absolutely recommend Christine and the Barranca Team!" - Toni K. (June 2018)

★★★★★
"Chris was a helpful, accommodating, and thoroughly professional broker! We were actual about to submit an application on a different apartment, when we came across her listing. Although it was a Saturday morning and she was out of town, Chris still made time to speak with us at length and even arranged for a viewing on extremely short notice. She helped us gather our documents and submit a condominium application within a week (which is probably a record time). We could not be happier with the approval and are extremely grateful to Chris for our lovely new home." - Resa D. (June 2018)

★★★★★
"I have dealt with many agents from some well known real estate brokerage firms in the past. Christine is by far the best that I have ever dealt with. She listened and understood my needs, was extremely attentive to details, and most importantly she showed an unbelievable perseverance to find me my dream home. To top it off, all this was accomplished within my desired time frame. What more could be asked for in an agent? Now and in the future, I would never consider dealing with anyone else but Chris." - Sophia R. (Feb 2018)

★★★★★
"When looking for an apartment, Chris genuinely listened to my needs and tailored her search with utmost precision…and with a dedicated professionalism that was only surpassed by her warmth. Most striking (and what set Chris apart from the myriad of agents I had met in the past), was Chris’s authentic concern that I should not merely not find an ‘apartment’ – it was eminently clear that Chris’s goal was that I find a ‘home…

So when the time came to sell my apartment, without hesitation I turned to Chris. During what is commonly a most stressful process, Chris’s guidance and support was ever-present. Always thoughtful and personable, Chris was a joy to work with, always making me feel that I was a part of her team-without an ounce of stress on my part. With her diligence, attention to detail, overarching sense of integrity and incredible negotiating skills, my apartment was staged and in contract within a matter of weeks. I couldn’t be happier!

"I highly recommend Christine Barranca. My sister and I were helping my elderly uncle and aunt sell a rental property, and, from beginning to end, Christine was hands-on and always available. She understood the family dynamic and was very accommodating. Christine was also instrumental in arranging for the necessary repair work and maintenance on the building both before the listing and while the house was under contract. This was a great relief to my sister and to me. In addition, my uncle and aunt got their asking price within a few days of the listing. Christine was always professional and it was great to work with her." - Margaret C. (Dec 2017)

★★★★★
"My wife and I recently purchased a unit in a co-op building in Park Slope with Chris acting as the seller's broker. The broker representing us went MIA at a couple of different critical junctures. Chris went above and beyond to help my wife and I navigate the muddy waters of a purchase in a co-op building. As the seller's broker, Chris' compassion and guidance were unexpected to us as the buyers. Chris is extremely caring, meticulous, and reliable and we owe her a debt of gratitude for the success of our transaction.”" - Keith N. (Oct 2017)

★★★★★
"Chris is a fantastic broker and a wonderful person--we would recommend her to anyone! She guided us through every step of the sometimes-daunting process of buying a new-construction condo in Manhattan. She was extraordinarily helpful with everything from the initial house hunt through the final closing--and each step in between. She always was available to answer any questions that we had (no matter how small) and was there whenever we needed her help or expert advice. Perhaps most importantly, she always has a smile on her face and is a true pleasure to work with. Thank you for everything, Chris!”" - Matt P. (Oct 2017)

★★★★★
"Our client hired Chris to sell a co-op in Park Slope. With the family not local nor involved, much of the process fell on Chris to blueprint and organize. As the original owner resided there for over 50 years, the condition of the apartment was challenging. Step by step Chris advised us on how to proceed, provided the resources and got it done. In a couple of weeks, it looked like a different apartment and the outcome was an offer at asking price the first weekend. We could not have been happier and without hesitation will refer Chris again.”" - Claire S. (Oct 2017)

★★★★★
"Working with Chris was an absolute joy. She sold our home and everything happened so smoothly! While helping us search for a new purchase she showed her gift for connecting with and understanding clients’ needs at every turn. She is absolutely your best choice to buy or sell a home and we will look forward to working with her again soon!”" - Bevin M. (June 2017)

"New York apartment searching can be quite a daunting task, which is why I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Christine Barranca in finding my dream apartment! She made the process simple, quick and easy. She was warm and inviting, and was thorough in relaying specific information about the apartment for rent. She made it clear to me that I could, without hesitation, contact her with any questions or concerns I had. Christine was readily available, responsive, and accommodating throughout the application process and was also very organized in handling my materials. Through what could potentially be a very stressful process, Christine was there every step of the way until I was approved, making it very efficient and quick! Her cheerful attitude and desire to help meet my needs are things I'll always remember. I'm sure I will remain in touch with her as she truly went above and beyond for me!”" - Blair F. (June 2017)

★★★★★
"Chris was instrumental in the quick and profitable sale of our apartment. We received multiple offers within a week of listing and sold for above the asking price. Chris was there for us every step of the way and we never doubted that we were in capable hands. I will definitely use her and her team for any future real estate transactions.”" - Emily B. (May 2017)

★★★★★
"Christine was hired to help my family (6 siblings) sell my mother’s house, which was the family home for over 50 years. It was a huge undertaking as it needed much TLC and still held 50 years of belongings and memories. It was overwhelming, but Christine laid out a plan of action and guided us step by step, keeping us on schedule. Christine's expertise and guidance resulted in a timely, fruitful sale. Christine was the success behind closing the deal and I tell everyone. Thank you, Christine!”" - Joan M. (Feb 2017)

"Finding an affordable home in New York City is no easy task, especially for a recent college graduate. Christine worked tirelessly around the clock to help find the perfect apartment that I can call home. I would highly recommend Christine and her team at Compass to anyone who is a first-time home buyer, a veteran home buyer, a seller and everyone in between.”" - Foli C. (Jan 2017)

★★★★★
"“Our firm hired Christine to represent the sale of a multi-family building that was part of an estate. It was a very complicated sale as the building was vacant for 15 years with multiple parties and many issues. The sellers never expected to have such a quick swift sale. From the onset, Chris laid out a step by step blueprint of what needed to be done. The seller approved all and Chris took over executing every aspect. All the work was done within two weeks and on the third week we had two cash offers. Chris's take charge attitude accomplished everything seamlessly and successfully. Our client was super happy and so were we. Chris has become our "go to" broker for any of our clients who require a top notch real estate professional.”" - Maria R. (June 2016)

★★★★★
"“Chris is a well-seasoned, highly professional real estate broker. She helped us on our apartment purchase in Brooklyn. She's very detailed and always so prompt on responding to your call, email, text, etc. We had two properties in mind that we were interested in. So we reached out to several brokers who came as recommendations from various people. We loved her Comps research the most – very thorough and competitive, so we went with her. No regrets and she was always on time and on point. She's a great team player, and very witty. Finding your dream house and having little stress is possible with Chris. Highly recommend to anyone who's looking for a buy-side broker!”" - Jade Y. (May 2016)

I would strongly suggest you have her help you when looking at real estate.”" - Julian B. (May 2016)

★★★★★
"“When I was in the market in New York City to purchase several investment properties, I met Chris Barranca. She came recommended from a friend and as soon as I spoke with her I had a feeling things would be different. We discussed my overall plans and within 2 days she sent me a number of listings that met my exact criteria. With Chris leading the way for me, I was able to successfully purchase the property at a below market price and add a high performing asset to my investment portfolio. Within 2 weeks of closing the above transaction, Chris once again helped me identity a new property. She was able to secure this property for me at a significant discount to a recently closed comparable unit in the same building. She continued her support all the way to the closing table and we closed the transaction in record time. I am currently keeping my eye on the New York market and may soon move forward with additional investments. If and when I do, Chris will be the only broker I work with!”" - Dan R. (April 2016)

★★★★★
"“We hired Christine to represent our client's brownstone in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. With many challenges along the way, Chris took each one, thought it through and came up with a resolution. The sale of this property was not an easy task. Chris had a direct plan of action with many suggestions and resources on how to accomplish a swift sale. We are thrilled with the result of three offers and one executed sale...all of which we could not have done without Chris! Unequivocally, Chris is the best agent our law firm has ever worked with.”" - Richard C. (Nov 2016)

★★★★★
"“Christine Barranca has been my real estate broker for almost 10 years now. In that length of time I have sold two Manhattan apartments through her and have purchased four apartments. Christine is excellent whether you are selling or buying. She is a skilled analyst, negotiator and advocate, and best of all she gets to know her clients and knows what we need and want better than even we do. She is always cheerful, patient, hard-working and responds to the client's needs and questions promptly and fully. She is always straight with people. I trust her completely to represent my interests and do so with genuine caring. She is the best!”" - Blanca R. (Jul 2016)

She is a wonderful person to interact with and her supportive presence helped us through the stressful process of buying an apartment. I would highly recommend her services!”" - Kiran A. (Jul 2016)

★★★★★
"“Christine is the best!! We worked with Christine Barranca to buy our first apartment in Brooklyn Heights a couple of years ago. We didn't know anything about real estate, but Christine was so patient and helpful. She never once tried to push us to buy, but actually told us a few times why a certain apartment was not good for us, and showed us all the good and bad of each apartment. Christine was a great negotiator on our behalf, and we were thrilled with the way it turned out. We have very happily made a home where we will not soon leave. We often recommend her to good friends and family!”" - Gabrielle R. (May 2015)

She over delivered on every count. Ours was not an easy transaction. Multiple complications popped up along the way. In her reassuringly calm and professional manner, Chris tackled them one by one. On top of her expertise and extreme competence, Chris is kind, trustworthy, and always put our interest ahead of her own. We love our home and are thankful to have benefited from the Chris Barranca magic.”" - Rose W. (April 2016)

She gave us her honest opinions and was always available when we needed her. Chris also knows the neighborhoods and market very well.

★★★★★
"“We couldn’t have done it without Chris! She was beyond patient as we took a full year to find an apartment. She helped us hone in on what we really needed in a new place, and advised us on the pros and cons of the dozens of places we looked at. Chris kept us sane as we waited for “the one” to come on the market…and when it did, she expertly advised us on our bidding strategy. Without Chris we would not have found the apartment of our dreams!”" - Emily & Dave (July 2016)
