“Chris was the sellers agent and we met him at the open house. We didn't have an agent and he was representing the sellers but he said he could help us out as the buyers. It was a unique start to the relationship, and I had my reservations about conflicts of interest since he was working for the sellers but from that point on, it was a fantastic experiance! He was easy to work with and was available when we needed him. He helped every step of the way and exceeded our expectations of what we were expecting!Thanks Chris!”
