I am a first time homebuyer. I am a single woman that was very scared to take this leap and buy a house alone. Chris was ALWAYS available for all of my questions. I could talk to him in the evenings, mornings, and even on weekends. Whenever I wanted to see a property, Chris MADE IT HAPPEN! He took the time to walk me through complicated documents at my pace. Chris is very experienced and good at negotiations. He was able to get 2 major repairs done at the property at the Seller's expence!

Chris Ristau made the process easy and enjoyable! My wife and I were originally dreading the process of having to sell our home, but Chris' expertise and guidance made the selling process a breeze. His communication and thoroughness of breaking everything down for timelines was incredible and you can tell he truely cares about his clients.
