We were trying to buy a place for almost a year, working without an agent because all of the ones we met were... let's just say Christine is the only one that impressed us enough to decide to work with an agent. We met Christine at an open house, and the next weekend set up an appointment to view a few presale properties based on our requirements - shockingly to us (but we've since learned these are the kind of top-notch results you can expect from Christine), we liked almost all of them!

We were trying to buy a place for almost a year, working without an agent because all of the ones we met were... let's just say Christine is the only one that impressed us enough to decide to work with an agent. We met Christine at an open house, and the next weekend set up an appointment to view a few presale properties based on our requirements - shockingly to us (but we've since learned these are the kind of top-notch results you can expect from Christine), we liked almost all of them! After one more showing, we had our sights set on a home we wanted to buy. We were about to start putting together an offer based on the price shared with Christine by the listing agent when it turned out that one of the amenities we expected to be included with the property was not planned, and the price was significantly raised in order to actually get what we expected. We had to make a tough decision given there were few properties on the market that met our requirements. Christine never pressured us, and was always willing to discuss, give advice, and follow up on questions we had. We ended up buying a different home about a month later, and only got the home due to Christine's thorough knowledge of the market and how to make the best possible offer. She also made sure our closing process went smoothly, and even gave us contractor recommendations for work we wanted to get done in our new home, which turned out great. We recommend Christine to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable, responsive agent who works hard to get you what you need, and with whom you will not worry that you are being sold something that you don't actually want.
It was a pleasure to work with Christine! I was a first time home buyer, the entire process lasted 6 months from our first meeting to closing. Christine took me to numerous visits and was always patient to respond to whatever questions I had and didn't rush me into anything. 3 months in, we put our first offer, Christine was very professional and super quick to draft the offer and made very relevant recommendations in such competitive market which I wouldn't have thought of. Our first 2 offers were close but didn't go through. A week l...
It was a pleasure to work with Christine! I was a first time home buyer, the entire process lasted 6 months from our first meeting to closing. Christine took me to numerous visits and was always patient to respond to whatever questions I had and didn't rush me into anything. 3 months in, we put our first offer, Christine was very professional and super quick to draft the offer and made very relevant recommendations in such competitive market which I wouldn't have thought of. Our first 2 offers were close but didn't go through. A week later, Christine called me about a house which fitted my criterias but just missed its offer review date with no offers, Christine knew the listing agent and called her upfront to learn about the details. We immediately scheduled a private visit a few hours later. The next morning, Christine was very patient and brought me to take a second look at the home in daylight, we decided to put an offer the same afternoon. I proposed to put an offer at listing price. Christine actually recommended me to put slightly below listing price and believed it would still be competitive. Our offer got accepted a few hours later! I couldn't believe it. Closing went very smoothly and Christine walked me through the entire process. Christine is extremely resourceful and knows the Seattle area very well, I couldn't have asked for a better agent!
We met Christine at an open house a few years ago and were immediately impressed with her knowledge of the market, ability to listen, and her unique ability to find new construction homes before they hit the market. We stayed in touch and when we were ready to buy a new home and sell our current home, she was there to help us. I can't provide say enough positive things about our experience with Christine. She was always available and very responsive; she provided great insight about purchase prices and sales prices; and she went above ...
We met Christine at an open house a few years ago and were immediately impressed with her knowledge of the market, ability to listen, and her unique ability to find new construction homes before they hit the market. We stayed in touch and when we were ready to buy a new home and sell our current home, she was there to help us. I can't provide say enough positive things about our experience with Christine. She was always available and very responsive; she provided great insight about purchase prices and sales prices; and she went above and beyond to help us purchase our dream home for a price we were excited about and sell our existing home for over our asking price. Not every agent is willing to do house work to ensure a home is ready to be put on the market- she and her partner Barrick helped do home repairs, organize cleaners and painters, and stage the home so it looked brand new. These efforts led to an offer the week the house was put on the market for $75k over asking price. I would recommend Christine to any of my friends or family. She'll do whatever it takes, and she'll have fun and make you laugh while doing so!
Christina is a real professional and a great person to work with.

Also, Christina answered all our questions and emails very quickly. Christina has a great knowledge of the real estate and mortgage industry, knows other local agents, and also is very familiar with the construction process. With Christina's help, we found and purchased our home in relatively short period. Christina was recommended by one friend of ours, and I'll highly recommend Christina to all our friends as well.
Christine is awesome! We've bought a few houses with different agents and with Christine, our recent purchase was by far the best we've ever experienced. She worked tirelessly and patiently with us for over a year to find the perfect townhome for us in Seattle. Her insight and expertise of the market, neighborhoods and even individual builders was absolutely indispensable. She alway listens and asks great questions to understand her client's needs and interests so she doesn't waste anyone's time. When we finally settled on a home, Chri...

She worked tirelessly and patiently with us for over a year to find the perfect townhome for us in Seattle. Her insight and expertise of the market, neighborhoods and even individual builders was absolutely indispensable. She alway listens and asks great questions to understand her client's needs and interests so she doesn't waste anyone's time. When we finally settled on a home, Christine's experience was extremely valuable in helping us select other required real estate pros to finance and complete the closing (that she managed) for a smooth and low-stress closing. She's also an all-around great person and extremely fun to work with; you can't ask for a better agent than Christine!
We met Christine at an open house and were immediately impressed by her knowledge of the Seattle Real Estate landscape. She and her associate, Natalie, followed up with us, but were never pushy, about setting up a meeting to get a better idea of what we were looking for in a home. From the get go, they offered us a wide range of options and helped narrow the scope based on our feedback. At all times, Christine put our needs first, fought for us, and guided us through the process of buying our first house. She had our best interest at t...

"We partnered with Barrick and Christine to sell our beautiful Fremont home when we moved out of state. To make the move easiest on our family, they suggested that we move out so they could organize the "freshening up” of our house. Barrick and Christine delivered on their promise, completing extensive painting and landscaping within two weeks of our move and had the house sold a week after. They are a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them."
"Christine was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very quick to respond to our requests and was candid in her thoughts/opinions, both positive and negative, about all of our questions. Once we had finally settled on a place, she was lightening fast with the offer and required paperwork. It was because of that speed and efficiency that we were able to close on our first house. We could not have done this with our her, she is the best!"

"I was recommended Christine by a friend, and it turned out to be the right recommendation!

She was proactive, energetic, and consistent. I would highly recommend Christine."
