Testimonials

MICHAEL K:

I was starting the process of a remodel on my house in South Minneapolis when I was contacted by Christopher regarding representing me on the sale. He was very personable and fun to talk to. Over the next several months, I ran into several problems with the remodel that required serious attention. As I now live out of state, it was very difficult to research and follow up on many details of the project. Chris was a wealth of information and put me in contact with great people that did amazing work on my place. He personally followed up with all the parties involved and checked in on my place and kept me informed of all the progress including photos and videos! I would never have even realized this kind of personal service and attention could even be available from a realtor. Christopher apparently really loves what he does and I would highly recommend that you contact him.

MARY KNOCKMAN:
Chris Harington was our realtor.  We were impressed right from the start.  Chris was very knowledgeable on all aspects of getting our house on the market quick and he made it simple.  Always, followed up with us after each showing.  This was very helpful and when prospective buyers had questions he always was quick and very knowledgeable to responding to them too.  Hopefully soon we won't need Chris, but when we do we will always call and recommend Chris!

I cannot recommend Chris highly enough! He was incredibly responsive with flexible availability for showings to work around my schedule. I greatly appreciated his knowledge of building structure and potential DIY vs. hiring out projects (along with budgeting estimates and recommendations of contractors). As a first time buyer and single person, I felt Chris respected me and my opinions, heard what I was looking for in a home, and guided me through the process growing my own understanding of home buying. Chris always kept me up to date on showing, potential pre-­‐market options, and fought hard for my needs through the final closing. Chris was able to walk me through every step from figuring out my budget, to deciding what exactly I was looking for, then making an offer and following it like a hawk until closing to make sure I secured the exact home I wanted. He is a great fit for anyone looking to buy a home in the Twin Cities.

Chris was beyond great to work with and he took care of everything. My first conversation with Chris went something like, "I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm out of my depth, I need a sherpa!" Chris was not only friendly and easy to talk with, but he was also always five steps ahead and had a team he works with for financing, inspections, etc... His great relationship with the lender was a huge help. They were responsive and proactive and always in touch with Chris which helped make our offer stronger. I went from being clueless to owning a home in less than 60 days. Even with the market as it is, we got a good deal on our place, and he walked us through every step. I've since heard lots of other peoples experiences with their home purchase and each time I think, 'wow... glad we had Chris...' I couldn't recommend him more.

Chris is an AWESOME agent! He was very responsive and always made himself available to us. He was incredibly patient and accommodating with us as first-­‐time buyers who are new to the Twin Cities. He gave us tours of various neighborhoods and provided us with insights about every house that only a pro can provide. We are very happy to have worked with Chris and will definitely work with him again in the future.

Chris was very responsive to our every need and employed an effective strategy in listing our home. He is excellent at looking through your home as well, to determine what needs to be done in order to sell it. Furthermore, in the selling of our home, our buyer's realtor was very uncommunicative when we were trying to confirm the closing process. Thankfully, Chris went around their realtor by contact the lender directly to ensure that we were on track. We would definitely employ Chris again, if we were to sell and/or buy a home!!!

Chris was phenomenal to work with! He understood our needs and worked with our confusing schedule without any problems. He clearly explained the whole process and made everything seamless. I would recommend him to anyone.

I highly recommend Chris for any of your Realtor needs. Every step of the way he was knowledgeable, quick, and answered any questions I had. As a first time home buyer, Chris was a pleasure to work with. There were several reasons why I decided on using Chris. First was his knowledge of the Minneapolis neighborhoods that I was looking in. Second and my favorite, was his knowledge and attention to the various construction, utility, and update aspects in houses, both older and new. I really appreciated a Realtor that was very knowledgeable in those details, so I could get a better idea of how some of these old houses were build and how they have been modified over the years. His expertise really helped me pick out a house that matched what I wanted both immediately and for the long term. Finally, I enjoyed the overall service that Chris provided. He has great resources for every step of the process as well as being great to work with on a personal level. I plan on using Chris in the future for any of my real estate needs and passing his name on to anybody else in need of his services.

Chris will always have your back! He was amazing -­‐ both in helping us sell our old home and buy our new one -­‐ but where he really came to bat for us was with negotiation and issues that came up during closing. He absolutely went above and beyond what we would expect a realtor to do for his clients and I would recommend him to anyone. He is personable, professional, responsive, and has a great sense of humor to boot. Thanks again Chris!

Excellent. Chris was knowledgeable, helpful and extremely responsive. As first-­‐time home buyers it was very important for us to work with someone who could help us navigate the process. He worked to explain each step of the process and helped us identify great opportunities. Everyone we encountered throughout the experience-­‐-­‐the inspector, the lender, the closer-­‐-­‐commented on Chris' professionalism and genuine drive to find the right home for us. We could not be happier and could not recommend him any higher.

Beth O.

It was such a relief to have Chris with us during this stressful process. As first time home buyers purchasing a duplex and becoming landlords for the first time, Chris's knowledge of repairs, the home buying process, and the network of experts he has surrounding him were absolutely invaluable. He went to bat for us when the seller's realtor dropped the ball on requesting the title and made sure every step of the way that we knew what was going on and what the next step was. He was always easily available any time of day and went above and beyond helping us get set up to be new landlords. Highly recommend.

Last year we bought a house in south Minneapolis. After a bad experience with a popular south Minneapolis realtor involving dual agency, we hired Chris. He was professional, thorough, persistent, and always conscientious of our price point, needs, and interests. Where Chris really shines as a realtor, and in my opinion distinguishes himself, is his ability to assess the structural, mechanical, and cosmetic integrity of a house. We were in the market with Chris for six months, and at each showing he was able to give us a sense of each house's strengths, weaknesses, potential problems, and the value and costs associated with them. Our first realtor did not know how to assess a house, or when asked about potential repairs and remodeling low-­‐balled costs to expedite the sale. Chris did know, and at each showing he took the time to give us an accurate assessment of the house and an honest account of its potential costs. For a prospective buyer, this is invaluable.

Mr. Harrington ably ascertained our interests and diligently worked towards fulfilling our dreams. His broad range of knowledge regarding contractors and people able to help in the purchase of the home was extremely beneficial as we are from North Dakota and do not know the area. He gave us good advice in negotiating a fair settlement on a discrepancy. After the completion of the sale, he has continued to assist in getting good people to work on the house.

Katherine K.

I highly recommend Chris! He is patient, thorough, and is a repository of knowledge and information about the world of construction and remodeling. For those of us who know little or nothing about construction and remodeling this is invaluable. He also was able to walk through each house we viewed and give us a sense of the structural condition of the house, the state of the mechanicals, electric, etc.. We felt confident through the entire process, in large part thanks to Chris.
