“Christine is everything you want in an agent - knowledgable, friendly, dedicated, and responsive. She was committed to helping us find our forever home in Columbia and we knew we were in great hands from the beginning. She was always ready to answer our questions and scheduled showings quickly. Raising her own family in Columbia, she is super knowledgable about the area. And talk about dedication-she took us to see FIVE (!!) properties in a single Saturday, with our 1 year old in tow. We ultimately had an offer accepted on the second home we bid on, and the rest of the process went super smoothly. You will not be disappointed with Christine as your agent!”
