Testimonials
"Chris is and has always been, extraordinarily helpful with her forward-thinking and compassionate attention to every detail in making our move easier as we were downsizing. She called on her many contacts to help update and stage our home in preparation for showing. She was always available to lend an ear to our concerns and presented many options so that we could be comfortable with the choices we made along the way. Chris is a first-class professional and very-treasured human being!
Chris added her personal touch to the cards sent out to neighbors, photo captions, detailed online descriptions of the property, and handling of the first day showings and open house resulting in a ratified contract after day one! She is the Best!"
- CR"Chris provided service beyond my expectations. This is our 3rd transaction with her and she is beyond amazing. Smooth from first meeting to closing. "
- BJ"Chris Pritchard did an amazing job selling our house. She made sure every detail was covered, kept us on track, and did a beautiful job getting us the best offer. Chris knew just when to list the house for maximum exposure -and then how to handle/navigate through multiple offers. Truly a skill!"
- AW"There was never any question about which Realtor we would work with when it came time to sell our home. Having observed Chris Pritchard in action around our McLean Province neighborhood, following her successful sales, and getting acquainted when visiting her at open houses, we knew that her professionalism, experience, and knowledge of the market would serve us well. We were not disappointed! Working with Chris throughout the preparation, pricing, and promotion process, which is her signature method, we relied on Chris’ instincts and contacts to transform our house of 20+ years into a fresh abode for another family to love and enjoy as we had when it was our home. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, supply line constraints, and a few surprises along the way, Chris remained calm and always had a ready solution. Chris and her team brought us through the entire process successfully, with friendly reassurance that all would be well. And it was! We deeply appreciate her counsel, guidance, friendship, attention to detail, and resourcefulness. We will continue to commend Chris to other prospective clients. "
- S&J"We gave Chris an impossible task. We had built a home, that we loved, three years ago; both for fun and for investment. We decided to switch high schools for our son and gave Chris the tasks to maximize the revenue out of our old house, use that money to buy a new house, find a downsized house that we could be passionate about, and find it in an extremely precise area. Not to mention, we had to close within six months and complete all of this in the middle of a pandemic. We said, “there is no way you can thread this needle, so we’ll be ready to rent.” She counseled, ‘not a problem’, and then got to work.
Chris sold our house in a weekend- - - at list price, orchestrated all the players to have us place an offer on the new house in time, gave us the resources to thoroughly review that house, acted timely to enable us to execute contingencies to walk away, and THEN leveraged her relationships to get a new house in front of us a day later…enabling us to have our offer accepted one day after that. All within 2 1/2 weeks. Truly remarkable.
Chris achieves the impossible through tenderness and grace. The reason we are in a new house that we love is because of Chris’ years of relationship building, thoughtful partnerships, and dogged determination to do the best for her clients.
We were blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her. We consider her a newfound friend whom we feel we have known forever."
- R&T"Chris is the best. We love her and would recommend her highly."
- GG"I cannot express how much we appreciate Chris and all of the guidance and support she provided to us. We know that we were successful because of her efforts. She is the best!!!!!!"
- JL"We worked with Chris Pritchard to sell our house and she was extraordinary throughout the entire process. Chris went above and beyond to get our house ready to list. From advice on neutral paint colors for resale to introducing us to an outstanding stager, to providing referrals for everything from gutter cleaners to a clutter removal service. Chris was there to guide and assist us no matter the issue; big or small. The end result was three offers within 24 hours of our first showing and a ratified contract well more than the asking price. After ratification, Chris was in constant contact to ensure a quick and seamless settlement. We are so grateful to Chris for her professionalism, kindness, and expertise. We cannot recommend her more highly if you need a Realtor and there would be no other choice for us if we had another house to buy or sell in the area. Chris is a consummate professional, who clearly loves what she does, and is an absolute pleasure to work with."
- SL"Chris has been such a ray of sunshine, patience, and warmth in our lives as we've navigated this home search. She has been a friend, psychologist, and an outstanding, and honorable, Realtor and human!"
- RR"Absolutely the best to work with"
- RP"Chris was God-sent! She was just the right person at the right time. She is incredibly perceptive and very dependable. She knows her domain at an expert level. She corrected our path, took charge, and ran the show. Truly impressed. We just love her."
- FP"Chris was super; very helpful and steady as a rock when the closing on our purchase got pushed a day. Her stewardship helped us close in time to move to our pied a terre while the contents of our family home were heading to SC."
- LC"We had a great experience with Chris. She made the whole process work seamlessly and was very professional. She helped us sell a beautiful home and became a true friend through the experience."
- KAC"Chris Pritchard was amazing! She helped us navigate selling our home and purchasing a new home in a crazy real estate market. We appreciated Chris's professionalism, warmth, and humor to make a stressful process enjoyable and fun. Thank you, Chris, for helping us make our dreams a reality! Not only was Chris Pritchard a consummate pro, everyone she recommended was incredible from the mortgage firm to the photographer to the handyman. Chris is a pro's pro and everyone she connected us with was the same way."
- LB"Truly outstanding! Chris helped me buy my first home and was the best realtor I could ask for! I knew next to nothing about the process. She was patient, kind, and professional every step of the way - she made the process unbelievably easy and helped me get a home I love!"
- IPM"When we first met you, you told us you would "be with us every step of the way...". Little did we know at that time the TRUE meaning of that statement. You were untiring, and the work you put into selling our house; time, attention and concern, was truly outstanding. Your attention to detail and your reassuring optimism are the qualities that brought us to this happy conclusion. "
- LF"Chris was exceptional in all phases of the sale, from advice about preparation for marketing to the final sales contract and settlement. She handled an unexpected snag in the process with great skill. We had worked with her before and would definitely do so again."
- WB"Chris was the definition of Above and Beyond! We anticipated having to wait months to find a house, but she managed to find our dream home really fast AND negotiated us into the best deal possible. We were working with a seller who had already moved out of the country. Chris managed the communication with their agent and we could not be happier. "
- AND"Thank you for all your hard work in helping us find and secure a lovely rental while we prepare to purchase a home soon. We appreciate your support and dedication throughout the entire process. We are so ready to start looking for the perfect home with you.....again. "
- JN"Chris was honest, committed and quite passionate. We are a very focused and responsive couple and knew we would have to partner with someone who was the same. Chris had something different than others. She was openly passionate about her role as a Realtor - she was clear about what she brought to the table and how strongly she felt about her responsibility. She guided us on things we should do as priority to prepare for the listing and, personally, elevated rooms with the "Chris touch". We were clearly in this together. Partnering with a Realtor is one of your biggest decisions and most costly if they are not in the game with you. We were always very informed and aware of what was happening, and what had to happen next. We could not be happier. She brings to the table all she says she will --- even during a pandemic. We have already shared her contact info with many-and will continue to do so."
- DZ"This is our fourth real estate transaction with Chris - who we refer to as our "Realtor for Life." As always, her advice is spot on. We followed her recommendations as to upgrades, staging and pricing to the letter and were rewarded with a quick sale. When its time for transaction #5, you know we won't be calling "Ghostbusters" - but Chris Pritchard."
- WS & MJC"We worked with Chris for more than a year to find a home with unique requirements. We wanted a photography studio AND a large vegetable garden, a view of the mountains and a neighborhood for our boys. Chris listened carefully and did extra legwork to provide us with answers we needed along the way. Her attention to detail and level of professionalism were apparent from our very first tour. Then we were faced with some extra challenges after our closing. Chris was strong and stood by our family until everything was resolved. We feel like many agents would have moved on and left us hanging. Chris’ tag line is “DARE TO DREAM. I'LL MAKE IT COME TRUE!” and she delivered! We have our dream home and my eyes still fill up with tears of joy when I drive home."
- J & A"We purchased our new home while living overseas. This could have been an incredibly nerve-racking experience for us, but Chris put us at ease by keeping us well informed at every step. She also has exceptional relationships with all the best local service providers which was a huge benefit to us being new to the area. We would recommend Chris in a heartbeat to anyone and especially to anyone moving into the area."
- SH"We asked Chris to help us sell our house and we're so glad we did. When she recommended what to do to get the house ready, WE DID IT! When she analyzed the neighborhood sales and suggested a price, WE LISTENED! Chris knows the market and she knows marketing. Now we have experienced first hand why she is known as the neighborhood expert. She is warm and wonderful AND she means business. We couldn't be happier and we know you will be, too. Neighbor to Neighbor- if you are thinking of selling, think no more- call Chris!"
- RC"Chris was tenacious in looking for potential buyers. She also worked tirelessly to get the house in perfect selling condition."
- KW"We can't thank you enough for all your help in making our move such a smooth one. We feel so lucky to have found an awesome realtor and a new friend"
- L & R"Everything was good and at the highest level of response and support from Chris. She was proactive, responsive, professional and thoughtful. Selling and moving on my own was a daunting prospect. Chris helped me every step of the way and her guidance and advice ensured my home sold quickly, and the process went smoothly, which is what I wanted. I could not have done it without her tremendous support. Very impressed with the whole experience."
- AB"This is the fourth transaction with Chris Pritchard and the choice was always clear; Chris was the only choice. Her ability to read the market, understand how to price a house and her thorough knowledge of the real estate market is unparalleled. She could easily double as an expert house stager too. She understands how to de-clutter a home and make it appealing to buyers. The house had a solid offer the weekend of the first Open House. The comfort level of working with Chris is incredible. She is confident, poised, approachable and very talented. I'm sure within a couple more years we'll be fortunate to work with her once again."
- JT"We can't thank you enough for all of your time, patience and understanding during our home search. It all worked out....just like you said it would! You are truly a class act and we are thankful we were able to go on this journey with you."
- LS"I will tell you I have bought and sold many homes in my last twenty years, and I have worked with a number of real estate agents. But never have I encountered the level of professionalism and competence that I found with Chris. She managed to be extremely organized and thorough while still maintaining a calm demeanor and easy laugh. I readily admit that I wanted to work with her because she was obviously so adept at selling houses, but I had not anticipated how enjoyable and easy she would make the process. She told me the changes that would make my home the most appealing to prospective buyers, and I followed all her suggestions. But I was trying to work full time, pack, and move, so I just left all of the details to Chris. I was able to do what I needed to do, and I never had to wonder how things were progressing with the sale. She had a plan for marketing the house that was carefully thought out. Chris is someone who should be truly recognized and acknowledged."
- GS"We have been provided with very professional services and excellent advice in various areas by Chris since we officially requested her to take care of our property. Without her professional coordination with a painter, carpet company, suppliers of home appliances and others, I believe we would not have seen the property close so quickly and for the highest price attained. Our knowing Chris in this transaction leaves us with very good fortune and memories."
- KS"WE ARE THRILLED - and so grateful to Chris. She had helped us buy and, of course, we asked her to help us sell. With Chris, preparation and pricing go hand in hand. As she always says, "condition and price rule the day". Guided by our trusted realtor/advisor, we did some touch up painting, edited some furnishings and had the windows washed. Chris did a beautiful job of staging. More importantly, she did a masterful job analyzing sales and market activity to guide us on pricing. We were introduced to the market with her customary MEGA WEEKEND MARKETING BLITZ. But it didn't stop there. Chris focused on follow-up and pursued every lead. She personally hosted Open Houses and tracked our prospects. In the end, we're sure it was her knowledge of the market, and of people, that made the difference. CHRIS IS DEDICATED TO HER CLIENTS AND DETERMINED TO GET RESULTS. We've benefited from her experience as buyers and as sellers. We encourage you to call Chris when it's your time to make a move."

- DS"As the old adage goes "Leave it to the professionals." Chris definitely personifies that saying. Daring to Dream takes courage. Chris kept us apprised of major events, yet did not burden us with every small detail."

- KW"I would not think of working with anyone else. I am so thankful that we worked with you, no other home on the market in our old neighborhood has sold! Of course, we were the only home represented by you - a woman of action! Thank you for your work and for your outstanding advice that helped us achieve our goal."
- HA"We had spoken to other realtors and not one of them reassured us the way Chris did. She prepared excellent brochures and a viable game plan for a flawless sale. Her professionalism was exceptional at all stages of the transaction."
- PM"Chris did a wonderful job helping us sell my mother's house which had a great deal of deferred maintenance. She recommended highly competent skilled trades people to make the house more marketable. She did an excellent job staging the house for it to show in the best light. She knew the market and recommended a reasonable sales price that resulted in a quick sale. We felt very confident having her handle details while we lived far away. She is a true professional and we recommend her most highly."
- SO"Chris is thoroughly professional and manages every detail of the listing process with style and attention. We are delighted with how our transaction went at every junction. Chris was always there to hold our hands and provide excellent advice. She was so positive and enthused about our house, and provided excellent service way beyond her scope of work."
- SB"It is not an exaggeration, in the least, to say my wife and I would have been overwhelmed by the entire process of purchasing our new home were it not for Chris. Her level of service throughout the process was absolutely exemplary. What's more, this was all accomplished while our own preferences around the location and price of our new home were continually changing. Her professionalism, integrity, knowledge and unambiguous commitment to put her client's interest above everything else were evident to us, and she had our trust from the outset. We looked for her counsel on every decision we made."
- KS"Chris is beyond wonderful. She is smart, knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to work with. She listened to what we wanted and planned accordingly. We were very pleased."
- ML"We are sitting in the breakfast area of our new home looking out over the golf course as the sun sets and are thinking about how you helped us sell our McLean house so we could be here. Thank you so much for all you did in staging and marketing to bring home that sale. You made it very easy to move forward."
- CK"I am not going to write 'goodbye'; only a huge and grateful thank you for being at my side every step of the way with the sale of my home. You have given me tremendous support and encouragement. I could not have done it without you."
- AB"Chris is knowledgeable, professional and confident. She has my complete trust."
- RT"We just closed on our house in Great Falls. YES, during this crazy time in our world, with the virus we actually did close. This is all due to Chris's determination and focus. We met in November 2019 as I was interviewing a few realtors for our listing. We are a very focused and responsive couple and we knew we would have to have someone to partner with that was the same. Quite a few of the realtors I interviewed had strong results records, but Chris had something different. She was openly passionate about her role as a realtor - she was clear what she brought to the table and how strongly she felt about her responsibility. We signed her in December and started to prepare the house. We shared a priority list of things to "fix/change/tweak" with Chris, she added her thoughts, we moved forward. We were going to be out of the house for showing - so it was a bit of an added burden on Chris to some extent to keep an eye on the house. The market was showing signs of waking up a bit earlier than our plan to go on it by end of March.... so we put things in high gear and were ON the market first week in March. Pool open, rooms elevated with the "Chris touch" as a less "lived in" but more "buyer ready" call out. 2 Open houses in one weekend and 4 offers came through that Monday. We had our call with Chris Monday night and an offer was selected - and Chris was off to the races to pull the pieces together. Soon after the virus hit the area and all housing-related businesses and offices were working from home. This did not deter Chris. She was on calls and meetings to make sure our closing moved forward. We were always very informed and aware of what was happening and what had to happen next. We closed this week. There is no minor effort involved to get a house on the market. Partnering with a realtor is one of your biggest decisions and most costly if they are not in the game with you. We were not only happy with the results of working with Chris but would HIGHLY recommend her (and have) to others. She brings to the table all she says she will - and not many can say they do that during a pandemic! Sign her up, you won't be disappointed."
- DZ"Chris was amazing! She made suggestions to stage our home and perform a few maintenance tasks. She stayed with us every step of the way, from initial meeting to overseeing the photographing of our home and placing her personal touches on our open house day. Her attention to detail was spot on!"
