Chris sets the bar for service and professionalism. He is by far the best real estate professional I have ever worked with. I have hired him twice and would do so again without hesitation. I refer him any chance I get. He knows the Evergreen and foothills area extremely well and goes above and beyond for his clients.
We cannot say enough about Chris. We would trust him with our lives at this point! He was our buyer's agent when we bought our mountain home and moved from Wisconsin in 2011, and he handled the sale of that home this year, as we started a new life in South Carolina. He's extremely knowledgeable about the uniqueness of our mountain communities; he's one of the most detail-oriented and thorough people I've ever met; and he's a skilled, intuitive negotiator. He made sure we understood every step of the process, he worked with our contractors to keep our stress levels to a minimum, he was always accessible and willing to help out when we needed him, and he helped us navigate a near-catastrophe when our first buyers terminated without cause for personal reasons. He got our house re-listed and under contract again quickly, and he even helped us with our situation in our new community in South Carolina. He doesn't seem to know the word "can't"; he's always thinking outside the box and finding solutions. He's more than a realtor — he's a trusted friend. (And he's hilarious, which made the stresses of buying/selling much easier to bear!)
As a first time home buyer, Chris was very patient and knowledgeable as he helped to guide me through the process. He was always available via phone and very prompt to respond. He has several contacts in the real estate business (lenders, home inspectors, etc) that were all top-notch and made the home buying process that much easier. He helped me find an amazing property and was able to negotiate significant savings from the list price. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone in the market to buy a home.
I was fortunate to have Chris as my agent. I am convinced that without his knowledge of the area and network of local contacts I would not have been able to own the house of my dreams. But I own it now, and I am grateful to him. There is no substitute for local knowledge and the persistent diligence of someone like Chris.
Chris has the local knowledge to help the "out of towner" find the right property at the right price. He has the expertise to keep a deal on track when glitches occur (and they will). Chris is always upbeat, always on top of things, always dealing from a position of integrity and honesty. It's a great buying experience with Chris. No one else in Evergreen will do a better job, buying or selling.
Chris was great to work with. Experience level was obvious as questions came up all were professionally responded to in good order. I recommend him to anyone buying or selling in the hills. Local knowledge is a big benefit.
We were very happy with Chris. He was always on the phone, email or in person ready to help with any questions we had. And all of his recommendations were spot on. Thanks again with our house purchase Chris!
We have used several realtors in the past and our experience with Chris was by far the best. Specifically, he listened to our needs, helped us remain calm, and we found the right home in a very tough Evergreen market for buyers. Also if you are buying in Evergreen and not from the area, Chris knows the ins and outs of living in Evergreen better than anyone. You'll be happy you chose Chris!
Chris is the man! Great choice, I highly recommended him for Evergreen area the surrounding areas. He helped us find a house we were happy with in Evergreen when there were slim pickings of homes in the price range we were looking at. We didn’t settle and he encouraged that.
During my recent move from Iowa to Colorado Chris was a lifesaver! He definitely knows all the ins and outs of mountain properties. I had a very short window to try and find a property. After we struck out during my trip out to look at homes I felt comfortable that Chris understood my criteria. He went and looked at homes while I was back in Iowa. After visiting numerous homes he called me from the deck of the home I ended up purchasing with “Dude I found your home”. I ended up going under contract with only seeing the listing photos. That’s how much I trusted Chris’s judgement! I love the home/property and couldn’t be happier with the purchase! If you are looking for a realtor that will guide you through all the ins and outs of purchasing a home Chris should be your only contact!
We could not have been happier with our experience using Chris as our realtor. He was upfront and honest from his first meeting with us. He kept us informed on next steps and always took the time to answer any questions or concerns that we had. When we hit bumps during the process of selling our home he kept us calm and negotiated us around them flawlessly. I can’t imagine things working out any better and he got us a better price then we expected. We would recommend him, hands down, to all our friends in the future.
Chris is Fantastic! He has helped me with two different real-estate transactions. I have worked with many real estate agents in the past. Chris is by far the most knowledgable, responsive and professional real estate agent I have ever worked with. Chris is honest with his advise and has a talent for dealing with the challenges that come along during any real estate transaction. You will be well served and represented by choosing Chris as your agent! Mark Branch
