" honestly wish I could recommend Christen over and over again - she took us from complete fear of the home buying process to complete confidence. She never swayed us or passive aggressively swindled us into anything; she just provided facts, expert advice, and killer negotiation skills. She went above and beyond to help us find our dream first home and we are forever grateful!"

"I was incredibly nervous as I began the purchasing process as a first-time homebuyer. There was so much I didn't know, anticipate or understand. Christen not only made the process seamless, she made it fun.
Many realtors let up once an offer is accepted but Christen leans in. She walked me through an extensive inspection and negotiation process with patience and expertise for a winning result at closing.
I can say with certainty that I would not have purchased my home (at lower than asking!!) had it not been for her diligence, patience and extensive knowledge of the Austin market.
If you're looking for an enjoyable home buying experience, Christen is your gal!!"

"Two years ago Christen helped me buy my first home, with out any frustrations might I add. I just finished purchasing my second home with her as my agent and it was even better then the first. There is no pain, or anxiety when you buy a home with Christen. As before, looking forward to the time I purchase a third home; with Christen as my agent."

"From our first meeting I got the impression that Christen would be the right agent to help my girlfriend and I find our ideal first home. I had done some home buying 101 research before we met, but honestly, she was actually a better resource than what I found online. Christen knows Austin well, was able to help me understand each step of the proceFss, answered all my questions immediately or followed up very soon, and provided us with solid house options and info/advice on those houses that were in our sweet spot. Even when I got a little short-fused during the option period, Christen was a calming presence and was poised throughout."

"As a millennial I am always looking for someone who can understand my needs and show me quickly and effectively what I'm looking for. After going through a few real estate agents I found Christen. She was patient, quick and willing to go above and beyond. She made me feel confident in all my decisions and gave me advice and stats for each one. I've closed my condo and yet she is helping me with additional questions. If you are looking for someone who can help you before and after look no further."
