Testimonials

We recently sold our condo at a record-high price and we must say that it wouldn’t have been possible without Cristiana’s professional advice and guidance. As a foreign investor, we are not very familiar with the local market in Bellingham. Cristiana patiently guided us and followed up with warm check-in’s and helpful market updates over the years. When the right opportunity surfaced in December 2021, Cristiana prepared a comprehensive review of our portfolio and suggested a few tips to best showcase the property. She strategically selected the timing of our listing and boom, it was sold within a week, at a new record high price! We’re so glad we took Cristiana’s advice and trusted her insight and experience. Unlike some of the realtors we have dealt with in the past, Cristiana is never pushy. Her communications are always insightful and advice-driven. We’re so pleased with Cristiana’s service and will definitely approach her again for future real estate transactions.

"Cristiana was very helpful identifying locations and property that met our criteria. We didn’t even understand exactly what we were looking for, yet she went above and beyond providing her services by helping us identify what it was we were looking for. It took us over three or four months to find the right fit, but once we found it, Cristiana continually responded with immediate feedback, answers and always gave us insights."

"Cristiana has helped us buy and sell three houses over several years. She is a very good communicator and an appropriately tough negotiator. Her advice is always sound and balanced. If you are looking for an agent who will look out for your interests first, choose Cristiana."

"Cristiana has been a really great agent to work with! She is a good listener and based on that she's provided plenty of options for homes and properties to look at. She's been quick to arrange showings and has made herself available on short notice. She even put on her boots and hiked through forests and muddy waters to view property lines, which highly impressed us! She prepared a beautiful presentation that helped us understand the whole process of selling our home and gave us a good estimate of what we could expect from the sale of our home. We felt as though Cristiana didn't just work for us as an agent but made us feel like a friend."

"We highly recommend Cristiana Egger for your real estate purposes. As out-of-state owners of a property, Cristiana listed, showed and sold our property within the first 24 hours it was on the MLS. Because we reside outside of Washington, we relied on her instincts and judgement, and we are extremely happy with the results. Cristiana went above and beyond to make things easy for us, keeping in constant contact with us via phone and email. She helped us tremendously by coordinating and meeting with a third party to empty a storage unit attached with the property, so we would not have to travel to do that ourselves, which is greatly appreciated. The sale and closing of the property went smoothly and extremely fast. We highly recommend Cristiana; her upbeat attitude, professionalism, and knowledge made what could have been a difficult transaction be very easy and smooth."

We had a fantastic experience working with Cristiana in the search for a new home. Going through the home buying process for the first time was definitely daunting, but Cristiana was very knowledgable and helpful which made the whole process feel much less scary. She is very quick to respond to messages and was willing to do some extra research on properties we were interested in. She seems to have a knack for what she does, and we are so happy we were able to work with her! Highly recommend :)

"Jennie & I appreciate everything you've done to get this condo sold and we feel that you put in 100% effort to get as much activity as possible, which led to the sale. I appreciated the time that you and other Weichert associates put into the open house events. Being a studio condo, I felt that it would be a tougher sale, but we got the highest price for the condo than any other studio in the same complex. Your regular communication, and the help you provided us in making decisions through this process were great and very helpful."

"Ms Egger helped me find a place in Bellingham, a seller's dream market. She negotiated a fair price after schooling me in home buying, which is something I desperately needed. She was a patient listener, despite the fact that I have a speech impediment that makes listening to me rather difficult. Respectful. Knowledgeable. A joy to work with."

I would like to introduce and highly recommend Cristiana Egger, Realtor. An agent for Weichert Realtors of Bellingham, Washington. It just so happened that I had to sell my house of over 20 years and was fortunate to have Cristiana as my selling agent. Needless to say I was very apprehensive, nervous and just plain scared. The thing that impressed me most about Cristiana was her professionalism. From the onset she set about to show all the ins and outs of selling, things that I would have never thought of. She made the whole process seamless and comfortable. If you are looking for an agent you can not go wrong with Cristiana Egger.

"Cristiana was very helpful with our purchase from beginning to end. We are not from the states and this was our first purchase in the USA. She was always expedient with responses, by responding to our questions as we had a lot; considering the small value of our purchase, she still gave us her full attention. Which was very appreciated. We would highly recommend Cristiana and would use her service again."

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Cristiana as we sold my father's house in Bellingham. Cristiana helped give us insight into preparing the house for sale, pricing it to sell for the best value, as well as helping us negotiate after receiving an offer. If you want clear talk, reasonable advice and someone to stick with you during the sale process, Cristiana is the agent for you.

"Cristiana has a warm, caring personality that enhances her ability to work with the client in what could be an overwhelming process of selling a home. She took the time to to make sure that we were on the same page right from the start and throughout the process. All the paperwork was managed, the home showings and marketing were clearly explained and executed seamlessly. My house sold quickly and at current market rate. I am really impressed with the level of care, thorough research and follow through. I would definitely work with Cristiana again and recommend her to anyone who is seeking a good real estate agent."

Cristiana went above and beyond to assist me in the sale of my home. She was very responsive and professional as well as friendly.

"I wanted to thank you personally for your hard work in my family's behalf. Your presentation and your logic for how to handle the listing were the attractions of using your services. The listing process and your communication and customer service thereafter were top drawer. The online pictures and descriptive web site postings of the property were excellent. It gave us an indication of high traffic and interest by internet shoppers. Had I hired any of the other brokers vying for the listing, my sales price would have been much lower."

Cristiana was prompt, thorough, clear, patient and low pressure throughout our home buying process. Not to mention, she's also just a wonderful human. I know we were fully and accurately informed throughout our entire home buying process. The market we were in was tough and she stayed with it and with us the whole time. No matter how many houses we wanted to see or make offers on!

Cristiana helped me and my wife sell our condo and then buy our dream house. Integrity is always an important characteristic to me and when investing our life savings, Cristiana's integrity gave me the confidence and the assurance that I needed during the decision making process. Cristiana clearly had our best interest foremost in her mind and every step of the way she was by our side providing honest and insightful guidance. In this extremely competitive market, she was very responsive with getting us appointments to see new listings as they came available. We really could not have done it without her.

"Cristiana is great! She worked patiently with me over the course of several months, answering all of my questions, and helping me to eventually purchase the property of my dreams. She helped to negotiate a significant reduction on the purchase price, even in a seller-friendly and very hot real estate market. Cristiana is also a sweet person, very relaxed, very capable, and not your typical “Real Estate Agent”. Do yourself a favor: pass on the rest, and hire the best!!"

If you want a hard-working, honest and kind realtor then Cristiana is the one for you!

How very lucky we were to get a recommendation from a friend to seek out Cristiana Egger! She's everything we so needed in a person that could help us negotiate the sale of our home. Cristiana had the knowledge, friendliness, and personality to help us understand and follow through with this. Cristiana also was always available to answer all our questions, which I'm sure was many. We believe she was literally looking out for us to make sure the process went smoothly. She was so easy to work with, and we thank her for her patience. A wonderful person to know.

"Our experience with Cristiana was extremely positive. We found her to be professional, polite, responsive, prompt and patient. Since we were out of state we relied on her expertise for suggestions for resources to prepare the home for sale, selling strategy, and handling of offers and support through to the close of escrow. We are very pleased with her work on our behalf. Our home sold in just seven days after being listed. We highly recommend her as a real estate broker and listing specialist."

This particular property I bought had many challenges with it; but Cristiana was extremely helpful through the whole process, every step of the way. She knows the real estate business very well and her expert knowledge helped me to make sound decisions through the whole buying process. In addition, she was awesome with emotional support. She has my highest recommendation, and I will definitely use her again next time I buy or sell. Thanks, Cristiana!!

About Cristiana Egger
My husband has been in construction for a long time, so I’ve always had an inside look at what building a house was all about. And then he and I both got an opportunity to do volunteer work in New York for a few years where, for a change, I also got to be a builder - I got to have a part in creating a home for someone. And that’s what I love about real estate: your home is a big deal. Leaving a home behind and getting into a new home is an emotional and hugely important process. And I love that I get to be a part of making that happen for someone!Latest Blog Posts
