"I met Chris almost 3 years ago while he was helping my parents relocate from the Midwest. At the time, I was not looking to buy a house because I was renting and didn’t think I could afford to. After talking with Chris and working with him so closely to help out my parents, my boyfriend and I decided to make the leap. Not knowing where to start, Chris met with us after work one day to walk us through the process and answer any questions we had. Obviously one question led to another and I felt like we were bothering him all the time. Chris is patient and kind, and funny to boot. He never made us feel like a burden. We looked at A LOT of houses (mainly because I’m picky) and he never once blew us off or got frustrated. I can’t say enough good things about him. He’s knowledgeable, he’s great at negotiating and he’s really good at keeping his client’s feet on the ground when they feel like they are about to spiral. Buying a house can be stressful and scary, but Chris made it fun. He clears up any misunderstanding and always keeps you up to date so you’re never left wondering what’s next. He’s genuinely a great guy aside from being a great realtor. 10/10 would recommend."

"For being a first-time home buyer, this process can feel scary and overwhelming, but Chris helped walk me through each step, from beginning to end. Chris is personable, professional, and extremely responsive to any/all the question I had. I highly recommend Chris, he is the best!"

"Chris was recommended to me after he helped my sister and her partner find and buy their house. He was so thoughtful and thorough during the house-hunting process and he knows the value of the property, not just what it's listed for. He helped me avoid some less desirable properties as well as know what to look for pricewise in today's insane market. Not only did my sister get the first house she offered on, but I did as well, and it was solely because of Chris. He knows how to make both the buyers and the sellers happy to do business together and I wouldn't have the amazing home I'm in today without him. In addition to helping me find and successfully put an offer on my house, Chris helped me during the entire escrow process. My credit union had a lot of steps and different people for each step and Chris was my main point of contact in dealing with my credit union. He was always ready to answer any questions and available when needed. He clearly explained and prepared me for every step of the process, and it made everything so much easier with his assistance. If it weren't for Chris, I probably would still be looking for a house instead of writing this while I sit in my dream home. Thank you, Chris!"

"Chris helped us buy our first home in Portland, which for us seemed like an impossible task for our budget. We were prepared for months of searching and losing bidding wars, but it somehow ended up being a fun and exciting process. We immediately felt like we connected with Chris and that we could trust him to help us through this process. He allowed us to ask a million questions, text him odd hours of the day, and put into perspective the things that we should/shouldn't be focused on or concerned about. When we decided to put in an offer late in the evening, Chris kept working and made sure that we had everything signed and sent to the buyer ASAP. There were multiple offers, but Chris really took the scariness out of it, and he made sure that we felt good about our max offer and that we weren't pressured. He made us feel like we were his only buyers and that he always had our best interest at heart. He was the perfect balance of handholding and candidness, and we sincerely enjoyed our time together."
