I was born and raised in the Seattle Area, and I love the role I play in helping folks establish roots here as well. I have the privilege of being able to work 100% by word of mouth referral since enough of my clients connect me with their friends, family and co-workers to keep me busy. My sole purpose is to facilitate an excellent experience for my clients, whether helping buyers get the best deal they can on a home, or helping sellers fetch the highest price they can for their home listing, and I believe that's reflected in my years of supporting and educating my clients throughout the process. I pride myself on keeping in touch with my clients in the years after they close on their home, connecting them with my personal network of contractors and home services professionals when needed, keeping them updated about the ever-changing real estate market, and offering my two cents regarding home maintenance / improvement tips if they ever want to talk through a project. 

I believe in earning your trust as your lifetime real estate broker, so I'm always looking out for what's best for you in the long run. For that reason, I'm often pointing out reasons why a particular home may not be the best investment for my buyers, or suggesting improvements to my sellers that will give them the optimal return on investment for years down the road when it comes time to sell their home. 

I’m here to guide you on your next home purchase or sale. Please feel free to call or email when you're ready to start the conversation!

Reviews:

“Chris is an outstanding agent. Buying my first home was a dream I had but as a single person in the Seattle area it was extremely intimidating. I had no idea where to start. Chris helped me understand every step of the process so I felt confident in my decisions along the way. He gave great recommendations on lenders to get me started. He knows the Seattle area incredibly well. He knew the right things to do to make my offers more competitive in this market. He looked at countless homes with me and was able to identify and understand possible unforeseen costs down the line. I ended up getting a home that I absolutely adore, in my desired neighborhood and in my price range. And since my home purchase Chris has continued to be a source of support, information and guidance. He’s smart, funny, and a calming presence throughout the home buying process. If you are ready to buy or even just curious about buying, don’t hesitate to call him!” – A. Hudson
