Christine Pini

This review is long overdue. Where do I start? Christine has been nothing short of AMAZING. We hired her after a very disappointing 6 month experience with a local, well known big shot agent that focused more on marketing himself than doing his best to represent us. He failed to sell our house in one of the best sellers market ever. We learned that even when market is crazy and homes sell like hotcakes your agent still needs to pick up the slack and do his/her job, treat you like youre the only client they have and do their best to represent YOU, not use your listing to just chase another client.Christine was great from the moment we met her. Very honest, caring, straightforward, well organized, great presentation and marketing skills. She doesnt make promises she cant keep so many other people do only to get your listing. She wont try to convince you shes a magician that can sell your home for more than market can bear. She sets realistic goals and she goes out and works hard to exceed them. We hired her on the spot and she hit the ground running. Best decision ever! She has proven herself as an extremely hard working individual you can relay on and trust 100%.Christine is one of those rare individuals that will have your best interest at heart, rather than just chasing her comission. She did everything right. From pictures, staging, putting together marketing package, setting the right starting price based on comps (dont trust people that want to list too low or too high), reaching out to agent community, hosting a very successful broker / public open house, negotiating our deal. Our home looked like it belonged in a magazine and we got so many praises from agents that saw our home being previously listed by the other agent.. People were shocked to see this amazing transformation. And so were we! I joked I no longer wanted to sell, our house looked like a dream! Her photographer and stager are first class professionals. Christine even brought her landscaper husband in to help us spruce up our front and back yard. She brought in cleaning crew to get house ready for showing. The end result was beyond all our expectations. We got two offers 2 days after we re-listed for almost $500k over asking price with no contingencies. We also got to stay in the house rent free beyond closing date so we could prepare to move as stress free as possible.Christine was there for us every step of the way through this entire process. She kept us in the loop start to finish and was very responsive to any questions or concerns. We didnt have to worry about anything other than packing and moving. Closing was on time and went smooth.Christine is definitely the best agent weve ever worked with (this wasnt our first real estate transaction) and is absolutely an amazing human being too. Youre making a huge mistake if you dont hire her. Shes a rare gem!

Having previously completed the purchase of property with Christine Pini, my wife and I didnt even give a second thought to reaching out to her when the time came for our next real estate transaction. Christine is knowledgeable and isnt afraid to tell things as they are, good or bad. Having had many interactions with other real estate agents, weve interacted with numerous agents who seem to be simply phoning it in for a commission. Christine, however has been incredibly patient throughout our journey to find a place that met our stringent criteria and we always felt she had our best interests in mind.

Christine was FANTASTIC to work with. As first time home buyers in a fiercely competitive market, we were looking for a realtor who could provide us with the right guidance throughout the entire process. We were so lucky to have worked with Christine as she always made herself available to answer any questions we had and was able to provide creative strategies in putting together a compelling offer on a property that hit everything on our wishlist. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable of the market and process, she also brings a vibrant energy and enthusiasm to each phone call or meeting that made the experience a memorable one. If you are looking for someone who is committed to excellence, has a tireless work ethic, is responsive, and truly listens to your wants and needs, I would highly recommend Christine. She was an absolute pleasure to work with!

Christine Pini represented us on our first home purchase. She did everything perfectly and got us into the most amazing home! She was on top of the whole transaction and extremely organized. Most importantly, she put the needs of my family above all else and truly worked for us. Thank you Christine Pini, we could not have asked for a better experience.

It was my pleasure to work with Christine Pini at the David Lyng Real Estate Group. She represented me, the buyer, in a recent investment transaction. During negotiations for properties that were sometimes intricate and time consuming, Christine was patient and available for questions, navigating the process with professional advice. Christine guided me through it all with all with attention to my wishes and goals. I felt I was an important client: Christine set up many visits to lots of properties. I asked for information on the investment aspects, to which she responded in a timely manner?on weekends when necessary, during the evenings after helping her children with their homework, and once during her family vacation, which required a trip out of the mountains into town to get cell phone service. I have trust and high regard for Christine and her associates who assisted in the acquisitionprocess. I enthusiastically recommend Christine Pini, a seasoned realtor who?s expertise is matched by interest in the client she represents.

I worked with Christine when I was shopping for a home in the Santa Cruz-Aptos area. I initially chose her because she was so nice and personable. She was easy to work with and fun to be around. Of course she is the ultimate professional; that is important too, but just as important is her warm personality and my high level of comfort and confidence in her ability to meet my needs. She went out of her way to look for homes that I might be interested in, and left no stone unturned. I truly looked forward to going out house hunting with her. If you want the perfect combination of ability, professionalism and personalty, Christine Pini is your gal!

Our family had outgrown our current home and were desperate to get into a house with a yard that our kids could run around in. We hired Christine to represent us as both buyers and sellers and were impressed with her plethora of real estate and architectural knowledge. She was honest when she felt something was not suitable for our family and was enthusiastic when she knew our needs would be met and our expectations would be exceeded by a property. She was very quick to respond and always kept us informed. Christine was diligent in her search for our perfect fit and ultimately found us a beautiful home with a large yard and endless potential. Before we even made an offer on our new home she had buyers lined up to purchase our old home. When we worried that we would not have enough time to move, Christine and her team worked hard and were able to push our closing date forward, giving us more time and alleviating some of the stress associated with a big move. Christine ushered us through the process of selling and buying a home with ease and worked miracles to put us in our forever home.

My husband and I worked with Christine to both sell our home and to purchase our new one and really can?t say enough good things about her. She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time. She answered every question, explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Working with Christine made the process as painless and straightforward as possible. We highly recommend her!

We had a wonderful experience selling our house with Christine. She gave solid advise on pricing that generated a lot of interest, which resulted in multiple offers within the first week. We were in contract above asking price 7 days after the house was listed. When the transaction became complicated near the closing date because of missed deadlines on the buyers end of the transaction, she gave solid advise about how to deal with some out-of-the-ordinary requests the buyers were making, as well as the reasoning behind these recommendations and why it was in our best interest. She was kind and friendly when appropriate, and aggressive when necessary. This is exactly what I expected in a realtor, and wouldnt hesitate to recommend her or to use her again in the future.

Christine Pini of Coldwell Banker was fantastic to work with! My husband and I were looking for a home in Capitola for his mother and we called Christine to help us. She was very responsive to our needs and really took charge of our search. I felt she was spot on with finding homes that would work within our budget and still hit all of our priorities. We went out viewing listings with her and she gave so much care and concern to my mother-in-law, it put her right at ease. She has a presence that is genuine and intuitive, something that is difficult to find. With her guidance on getting properties in a sellers market, our bid was chosen in a multiple-offer situation. Within one week of going out with Christine the seller accepted our offer. My husband and I have purchased 5 homes in the past and I can honestly say that it was the most seamless transaction and enjoyable purchase we have ever been through. Not only is Christine a great realtor, but prior to real estate, her professional background is in interior design and construction, so she comes with great attributes that can assist in buying and selling of homes. After our purchase, she was so kind to help us out with paint colors and tile selection to beautifully update the house. It was like having an interior design consultant on top of working with a real estate professional. If you want someone that will be with you every step of the way, get you what you want, and do it while making things as stress-free as possible, check in with Christine. You will be glad you did.
