Meeting with Chris & Holly was serendipitous!
We had decided to renew our lease for another year, thinking that the market was too high. However, after talking with Holly and Chris about our situation, they helped us realize very quickly that it was possible to own our own place even in this crazy market. They advised us to be patient and ready to take action when the right opportunity arose.
This is where Holly & Chris came into the picture. They helped us define our needs and be realistic about the available options within our budget. This led us to start looking for a fixer-upper. I never would have imagined embarking on an adventure of fixing up a house from 1972. Fortunately, Holly & Chris had a lot of experience with house renovations, which made the process easy for us. They provided their knowledge and even connected us with painters and flooring experts. We had a tight deadline of two weeks before our moving date, and miraculously, all the work was completed just one day before. I am grateful to my dear wife for coordinating everything.
Initially, I had requested a one-story house with four walls, a view, and a sunset. Now, here I am, sitting in my backyard, sipping my coffee every morning while enjoying the breathtaking view. On top of that, my wife is incredibly happy with our new home. As they say, happy wife, happy life.
I must also express my gratitude to our lender, Tom Abramson, who ensured that we obtained the lowest interest rate and were able to qualify for a mortgage despite my limited credit history in the US. Thank you, Tom, for introducing us to Holly & Chris and patiently addressing all my wife's questions to ensure a timely closing that allowed us to move in. It all began when we met by the fireplace at Stonehouse. Life is truly beautiful and full of surprises when you are ready to seize the opportunities.
A heartfelt thank you to Holly and Chris' team and to Tom for this incredible...
Read moreHolly and Chris are seriously the best in the business! From the very beginning to the finish line, they are there with you every step of the way. Anticipating obstacles, guiding with their expert advice and never afraid to be direct - all with kindness and grace. It was a difficult market to search in and yet they managed to help us find the perfect home and then ready our other house for sale. Add in the pressure of a non negotiable due date (babies are born when they want to be born) they hustled to get all the pieces together just in the knick of time. They are professional in every way and always go above and beyond, even still, a year after closing! Their network is extensive!
When it came to selling our home, Holly and Chris took time to stage (using their own acquired staging furniture and items) in a beautifully understated way that made anyone walking in feel like they could live there. And when it came to finding our new home, we must have looked at dozens of houses - and put in many offers. The market was competitive and we were using a VA loan, somewhat of a unicorn in terms of loans which unfortunately didn't stand a chance against the more traditional loans. They kept our heads high and did so much research to try to present us the best way they possibly could! And it worked!! We love the house we now call home - our boys are so happy, we've already created so many lasting memories in it.
We are so blessed to have stumbled upon them - they caught us when we were feeling defeated, took our hands and blazed the way forward. They were our guiding lights, our heroes, and...
Read moreWe met Chris and Holly through family and friends who all had a great experience working with them to find their homes. It was quickly obvious to us that Chris and Holly treat all their clients with a high level of care and intentionality. Chris and Holly have been in the real estate industry for many years. Their knowledge of the market was especially helpful for our decision-making process. They gave honest counsel based on what they truly believed was best for us, and fully supported any decision we made. They also know the construction industry, which we found very helpful when investigating houses and even neighborhoods. They saw details we would have missed, and offered recommendations that were insightful. Yet what made us most grateful for Chris and Holly was their personal attention to us and the perseverance necessary to find us the right home. Selling and buying a house can be a challenging, complicated process. Chris and Holly made it easy to understand and were with us every step of the way, never letting us settle and always providing new options and ideas. They also followed up on us well after we had completed the real estate deal. There were many agents available to help us, but we are very grateful to have met Chris and Holly. For us, they offered quality of service and leadership resulting in the best outcome we could have...
