Testimonials

My experience with Cristina Dougherty is second to none. Three years ago, a friend of mine recommended her to me. I wanted to sell my home and had set up meetings with 2 different realtors so I could decide which one I would like to work with. The 1st realtor came over. My husband wanted $50,000 more for our house than our house was worth or what the comps in our area were going for. The realtor said of course and agreed with everything either of us said. She left then Cristina arrived. My husband said the same thing. Cristina said, I just have to be honest with you. I can list your house for that price if you want, but compared to comps, there were so many more homes in our area that offered much more than our home. It was going to be a very long road if we went that route. I needed to move, and needed to sell my home. I had only been in my home for 2 years so there was no profit to be made. I so appreciated Cristina for the honest feedback. That is what made me decide to use her as my agent. We settled on what we would sell the home for, got it in shape, and within 10 days on the market...my home was sold. My husband had major health issues and Cristina's efforts minimized our inconvenience of selling a home and she made us feel like we were her only clients. I promised myself that day if I ever was going to purchase a new home, I was going to find her for sure. Three years later, I recontacted Cristina so I could purchase a home. I contacted her, we met, caught up and discussed what I was looking for. She told me she was going to be out of town for the next couple weeks but she set up email notices for me to be alerted when a new home came onto the market. I guess you could say I don't wait around too much so as the emails started to come in, I was getting excited. So much so that the first weekend, I wanted to look at a home. Cristina was not available (across the country) but she had someone show me a home. She was always available for me via text no matter where she was. My daughter and I wanted to look at another house the next day. We really liked the house. I texted her and said I wanted to put a bid on the place! Cristina rallied her troops, they worked feverishly and got my offer in that night. She texted me in a couple days letting me know I did not get the house. I continued to monitor the emails with new houses and the following weekend I saw a house that spoke to me. Despite flying back into town the night before, Cristina took me to the house. I walked in and knew immediately - this is it!!! This is my house!!! I felt it, I believed it, and Cristina worked her realtor magic...She put in my bid and negotiated for me as if I was a family member. Cristina's expertise, professionalism, honesty, and undeniable dedication to her client helped me obtain the home of my dreams. I have recommended her to everyone I know looking for a home. I cannot express how grateful I am to have had her represent me as a seller and as a buyer. She got me what I wanted!

Cristina was referred to me by a friend. I had a horrible previous experience with the realtor who helped us purchase the house Cristina helped us sell. I did not hold back on any questions I had. I wanted explanations for specific parts of the process that Cristina took all the time I needed to answer every question fully and to my satisfaction. She did not sit around and let things happen. She took charge to sell my house like I was a family member. She put my house up and did back to back weekend open houses which resulted in an offer after only 10 days on the market. She held our hands and got us through the stressful home inspection. She had all the contacts to make the necessary repairs very quickly. I could not have had a better experience! I have referred her to three friends already and I will continue to recommend her to anyone I know who is selling their house. Cristina is a true professional who knows her business inside and out. Her communication style is awesome. She talks with you as an agent of you not as someone who is just trying to make a sale. I truly appreciate EVERYTHING she did to sell my house. Top notch person!!!!

My wife and I were referred to Cristina by our daughter, who bought a house with Cristina as her agent. We met with Cristina and let her know what our “must haves” and “nice-to-have” features. We were looking for property (at least ¼ acre, as my wife loves to garden), “move-in ready” with hiking trials nearby for our dog. Cristina compiled a list of houses and began showing houses several days each week, morning, daytime, and evenings. Christina was always available by text and email. We made offers on several houses (given the competitiveness of the market these days), so Cristina went through the entire negotiation process several times until, finally, we found the perfect house that met all our needs, even with hiking trails just past our backyard. Cristina worked incredible hard, was always available, and found exact what we wanted in our “forever home.”
