Christine Pappas – RE/MAX Results

Christine’s recent email to me asserted that her team strives to go «the extra mile» and it prompted me to write this review.
I was fortunate enough to blindly call Christine for a showing when I was searching for my first home. I do not use the term «fortunate» lightly. As she was my first encounter with real estate purchases, I only now realize that she is one-​of-​a-​kind and makes the entire process as enjoyable as possible.
Being a young woman, many realtors I encounter are rude and driven only by the bottom line. I have recently had one listing agent (incorrectly) assert that any houses I wanted would be out of my price range and to try a cheaper area when his listing was below my budget.
Christine was never like this – she spent many months finding the perfect house for me and refused to let me settle for something I wasn’t in love with. She truly does go the extra mile in everything she does. She gets to know you and what you want in a home. She’ll make you feel like part of the family and is not focused on the commissions she’d get out of a deal. She is truly in it for her clients.
Here are a few examples to illustrate my point:
1. She pretty much takes the attitude of «if I wouldn’t want my kids living here, I won’t show you it.» She correctly refused to show me homes, despite being more expensive, if she knew something was likely to go wrong (i.e. previously known water damage).
2. Her self-​proclaimed «momma bear» mode went into full effect when the seller I was dealing with tried to back out of the home warranty agreed upon in the contract. She forfeited part of her commission to ensure it was included.
3. As a first time homeowner, I probably texted her questions for weeks after the purchase. She responded every time in a friendly and informative matter and even sends reminder post cards every few months (like to change the furnace filter).
4. I am now choosing to sell my home through her (first-​time seller) and my experience parallels my amazing purchasing experience with her.
5. She is up to date and available for EVERYTHING – Social media, the market, the area, the procedures, literally everything. I can approve or deny a showing on my home via text. I can text or call her and expect a response almost immediately.
