Selling, buying, or both?
Selling your home
Sellers often spend money on the wrong things before they list. Chris tells you what's worth it first.
- A walkthrough and a written plan, before you spend a dollar
- A price backed by homes that sold near you
- Your own page with every step and date to settlement
Buying a home
The right home goes fast. Be first to see it, and ready to win it.
- New listings that match your search, from Bright MLS
- A step-by-step plan from pre-approval to keys
- Help with VA loans, new construction and renovation loans
Doing both? Chris times the sale and the purchase together so you're never stuck between homes. How buying and selling at once works
Start with a walkthrough. Leave with a plan.
Chris gives this to homeowners whether or not they list with him. It's the surest way to learn what your home is worth and what it needs.
Chris walks your home with you
He records a short video of every room and asks what you'd change.
You get a written plan
What to fix, what to leave alone, and where to price, with the sales near you that back it up.
You decide what's next
List with Chris, wait, or do it yourself. The plan is yours either way.
You'll never have to ask, “What's happening with my sale?”
Every Q Real Estate client gets a private page with their whole plan on it.
- Every step has a date, from the listing agreement to settlement.
- What Chris needs from you sits at the top, with the day it's due.
- Approve your prep list, photos and listing details right on the page.
- When something moves, the page moves with it, so you're not chasing calls.
Half our clients come from referrals. Here's why.

“After utilizing Chris to help us buy a house, it was an easy decision to have him as our realtor to sell our house.”
“I would not work with anyone else in the area.”
