“The best realtor I've ever dealt with, and I've bought and sold quite a few homes. Always on time, always pleasant, went above and beyond in showing and re-showing us about 15 properties. Also helped immensely in the negotiations and setting us up with the management company and utilities. A WINNER.”

“Christie Frankenstein is the best realtor that we have ever worked with in the past 34 years. She sold our old home, connected us with estate sale agents, found us a temporary rental, and procured our new home. If you are going to purchase a home, you need Christie.”

“We’ve used Christie repeatedly and she is the best realtor, hands down! If you want someone to handle the entire process and just tell you when and where to show up for closing, Christie is your girl. She’s thorough and knows this industry inside and out.”
