Buying a home is never completely straightforward—especially buying a home while navigating an overseas military relocation with a young toddler! But from the moment we interviewed Chris (and decided to hire him as our realtor), there was no doubt in our minds that he would have our backs—and he delivered everything he promised!
First off, it is clear how much Chris genuinely cares about his clients’ best interests. During showings, Chris would point out details that we never would have thought of on our own. He was able to help us view homes not just from the professional perspective of a realtor, but also from the perspective of a veteran who has lived and breathed the military lifestyle and also from the perspective of a dad who values his family deeply. Chris was always able to offer incredible insight whenever we would ask his opinion or recommendation on something, but he also has mastered the art of empowering his clients to make the best decisions for themselves, their finances, and their families. He positively influenced us and instilled friendly confidence in us without ever getting in the way of our own decision-making!
Chris also knows the area like the back of his hand. He would go the extra mile to point out local businesses and resources while we were house hunting and even chose centrally located restaurants for lunch that allowed us to a get a feel for the local flavor in each area we visited. Whenever I would ask about potential remodels or custom finishes to improve a kitchen or a bathroom, Chris would say, “I have a guy for that!” He has a very large network of other professionals he can recommend for projects.
Lastly, Chris is an excellent communicator. There was never a time that we called him and he didn’t pick up immediately, or text back within minutes! On Sunday on Memorial weekend, we saw a listing that we wanted to check out. Chris met us the next day in Williamsburg ON Memorial Day to see it because he knew that the clock was ticking! And sure enough, that ended up being our home and we went under contract the very next day.
If you are looking for a realtor, better call Stahl! Look no further. Thank you Chris for being such a blessing to our family throughout such a major life transition.
