Testimonials
"We have been very happy with Chris' personal and attentive representation as both our buying and selling agent. She took the time to learn the type of home we were looking for and honed in on showing us the best options. Once we found the house we liked, she had great advice for making an appropriate offer and after it was accepted, she was terrific at paving the way for a smooth closing. We love our new house! On the selling side, Chris worked very hard to research and stay on top of pricing in this challenging market, and she was creative and persistent with marketing our "as-is" property to a variety of potential buyers. She claims she's very competitive, and we appreciated this attribute for our challenging sale."

"You were wonderful, and we’ll recommend you to anyone we know who is looking for a home. And if we can ever do anything for you, please let us know."

"As a first-time home buyer, Chris successfully guided me through the home-buying process, from start to finish. Throughout the process, Chris was always professional, dependable, accessible, and approachable. Most importantly, she helped me resolve all the little issues that came up along the way, while keeping me on track and on budget. Thanks to Chris's hard work, my first home-buying experience ended successfully. I would very highly recommend Chris to anyone and look forward to working with her again!"

Haymanot, Home Buyer in Alexandria County, VA

why are you listing a sold home? I went there to look at it and found out it was already sold a year ago.

Asked Sat Jun 13 2009, 10:43 by Haymanot  -  Property Q&A in Arlington  -  2 answers
Christine Rich answered:
Hello,

If you're looking for a good deal, this sure seems like it could be one, but short sales can be very tricky transactions so please be careful. You almost always have to count on purchasing the home "as is" and the bank is the one with the control over the process. Please make sure you do your homework when it comes to purchasing a short sale property, and be prepared to wait awhile to see if you can actually close the deal.

Good luck!

Jz, Home Buyer in Ellicott City, MD

hi, is there a closet in the den? do you have a floor plan?

Asked Fri Jun 5 2009, 10:45 by Jz  -  Property Q&A in Arlington  -  1 answer
Christine Rich answered:
Hi :)

No closet in the den, otherwise it could be called a bedroom.... Often floorplans aren't available on re-sale units, unless the agent has paid to get one done...

Thanks,

Kh, Home Buyer in Arlington, VA

Is this property really $12k, or is this in error?

Asked Sun May 24 2009, 21:27 by Kh  -  Property Q&A in Arlington  -  1 answer
Christine Rich answered:
Hi Kh,

This is an error -- nothing in Arlington costs this little. Another agent and I share the same thought -- that the closest address to this would be the condos at The Phoenix in Clarendon, where prices range from $300,000 for an efficiency, to up to $549,900 for a 2 bedroom. There are other Arlington buildings where you can purchase a condo for much less than that, but nothing like $12,000!

Emmy, Home Buyer in Orlando, FL

Is there a mistake about the price of this property?

Asked Fri May 22 2009, 10:49 by Emmy  -  Property Q&A in Arlington  -  2 answers
Christine Rich answered:
Emmy -- must be. I checked this out a few days ago when another alert Trulia buyers asked about it, and couldn't really get any good data on our local MLS, and all of the leads I followed ended in a question mark.

Sorry!
Chris

Realspiceman, Home Buyer in 20746

I signed a contract with a builder to buy a townhouse at 300K, however the house appraised for only 290k

Asked Fri May 8 2009, 08:02 by Realspiceman  -  Home Buying in 22202  -  6 answers
Christine Rich answered:
As mentioned, it depends on the contract you used and the wording (or lack thereof) around the financing and appraisal contingencies. It should have been the lender who sent the appraiser, not the builder. Along with exploring your legal options, you may also want to think about things like if the appraiser was local and therefore understood the local market, where the townhouse is located, how long you intended to stay in the property, how much earnest money is at risk, and of course if you have the funds to make up the difference even if you wanted to! But by all means get legal counsel. I have a good name for you if you'd like it.

Best of luck,
Chris - Fri May 8 2009, 09:04
