Searching for and purchasing a home when you live 800+ miles away is no simple task. But through fantastic communication, extraordinary patience and fierce advocacy, Chris made the process as painless as possible.

As I approached buying my first home, I did not know fully what the process would look like. Chris took every opportunity he could to make this an easy and productive process. He was able to answer every question I threw his way and was very efficient in his response times. We were able to look at multiple homes in one and quickly put in offers as well. He also helped educate me on property taxes, HOA fees, and everything I needed to know being a first time home owner. I can not imagine doing this process with another realtor and I highly recommend Chris!

Working with Chris Hughes has been an absolute treat. He is responsive, attentive, energetic, and knowledgeable. Perhaps the most important and impressive part, however, is the content of his character. I was thoroughly impressed with the morality and compassion Chris extended towards other parties throughout our time working with him. At no point did he compromise on what was important/necessary for us as his clients, but he found several opportunities to show that he was trying to do right by all parties (even those he did not represent) and to create a compassionate and healthy ecosystem in which to do business. He even found reasonable opportunities to help expose newer realtors to parts of the process (with our permission) to grow the confidence and skill set of those he works with. In my experience, such content of character is a very rare trait and one well worth recognizing. If all realtors practiced with the integrity which Chris showed, the real estate market would be a much better place.

Very patient and knowledgeable. He was a pleasure to work with.

Chris is outstanding! He is a wonderful partner in navigating through the sale process. I would highly recommend him.

Chris was very tuned in to our wishes and needs. He always responded quickly to any request to see a listing and made us feel like we were his only clients. He was very personable, good sense of humor, and freely offered his opinion when asked. He would point out positive options in the listings to help us see possibilities to meet our wants and needs. With his expertise we felt like he used his experience to make the best offer possible and didn’t offer false hope in getting a bid. He had high values which he would not compromise for his advantage.

My husband and I were referred to Chris Hughes from our out of state realtor helping us sell our previous home. After a meet and greet phone call, my husband and I were both impressed with Chris's knowledge of the area (especially new builds) and his transparency. Chris was extremely flexible with our home search and buying process. There were several calls, texts, pictures and videos of houses, but Chris found our dream home and was able to make the buying process as smooth as possible limiting the number of drives back and forth. At the end of the day everything worked out how we described to Chris we would like it to and he worked and confirmed dates and timelines not only with us but all other parties to ensure that everything was on track and following our timeline. Chris went above and beyond in helping making sure our new build home had internet on day of move in.  Chris not only made the home buying process smooth for us but the overall experience!

Chris was very helpful, answered all questions we had, flexible with our work schedule and visiting houses and he was able to find us a house within our price range in only a couple of weeks!

As far as real estate agents go, Chris was the best!  He was attentive throughout the process and kept our best interests in mind.  He visited the property multiple times to provide progress updates.  He was in constant contact with the builders and kept us in the loop whenever he heard something new.  He was a fierce advocate for us throughout the entire process.  He honestly went way above and beyond, greatly exceeding expectations.

I never once had to worry about a thing.  I knew I was in good hands.  

My wife and I recently closed in our first home; extremely exciting and also stressful. Chris and his team were always ready to answer a question ( at all times of the day) and give additional tips/feedback regarding the process. He treated us like family and I would highly recommend him and his team!

Chris was patient with us during the looking and purchasing process. He went above and beyond from what we expected from an agent, which we deeply appreciated given that we lived several miles away from where we wanted to purchase a house. I would highly recommend him and will personally use him for another property purchase.

Chris is, sincerely, the BEST realtor any buyer or seller could hope to work with. He helped us find and walk through the purchase process 6 years ago, when we relocated from the east side of the state. We had such a wonderful experience that we, naturally, sought him out again when we were ready to list and find a new home. Chris is direct and honest and always makes himself available to answer any questions along the way. He worked hard to advocate on our behalf, and ensure our deals were mutually beneficial. We would (and have) recommend him to anyone in search of a trustworthy, kind, and diligent realtor.

Chris is awesome! He knows everyone and gets the job done!

Chris was on top of every step in selling our home! We always knew what needed to be done and where we were at in the selling process. He was very thorough and knowledgeable in determining what was best for us and he made selling our home a very positive experience. Kudos to Chris!

Chris was easy and delightful to work with. He clearly explained options and processes. He was extremely prompt in returning texts and calls - even when out of town. He quickly tied into and understood our needs and desires and kept us focused on them. HIs knowledge of the market is top-notch and the insights he shared along the journey were helpful. . The flexmis web portal was a great tool. Above all, we deeply appreciated Chris' integrity in dealing with us and other realtors. I am doubtful any other realtor could have done the job as efficiently or quickly. I will not hesitate to recommend him whenever I have the opportunity to do so.

Chris was always on top of everything, whether it was late at night or on the weekend. He made the process so smooth for us and explained everything very clearly. Such a great experience buying our first home.

Excellent service

We were always informed of what was happening at every step of the transaction.  Chris was very proactive in getting necessary paperwork and tests scheduled, which I appreciate.  When a small hiccup occurred at closing (not Chris' fault in any way) he was immediately on top of it, contacting the people responsible, and it was rectified immediately.  

Chris was excellent in all respects.  The support and level of service he provided was very impressive and helpful to us in purchasing our first home.

Great customer service!

Chris was always very prompt in responding to questions and comments throughout the entire sales process.  

Chris's outstanding performance as our realtor during our recent cross-state move (Cleveland --> Grand Rapids). Chris exemplifies the highest standards of professionalism, dedication, and client service that your organization should recognize! When we needed to purchase a home in a completely unfamiliar state, Chris stepped up in truly remarkable ways. Despite the logistical challenges, Chris personally drove to countless showings and appointments all across the region to help us find the perfect property and was even willing to view properties on our behalf. This level of commitment saved us numerous trips and significantly reduced the stress of long-distance home buying. What particularly impressed us was Chris's unwavering honesty and market expertise. Rather than simply pushing for a quick sale, Chris provided candid, insightful feedback about each listing we considered. This included pointing out potential issues we might have overlooked and sharing nuanced knowledge about neighborhood developments, local market trends, and property valuations that proved invaluable to our decision-making process. Chris consistently went above and beyond standard realtor responsibilities. This included coordinating with inspectors when we couldn't be present, and understanding my family on more than a superficial level - researching local amenities that matched our specific needs. The result speak for themselves: the entire process was a smooth: and efficient purchase process that concluded much faster than we anticipated. Chris's negotiation skills also helped us secure our home at a fair price in what is clearly a challenging market. Beyond that - Chris has charisma and an energy that just made it a thrilling process and a blast to work with. Chris exemplifies the type of exceptional talent your organization should celebrate and promote. I cannot recommend Chris strongly enough for any internal recognition, promotion opportunities, or performance awards your company offers. Realtors with this combination of market knowledge, client dedication, and professional integrity are truly rare and deserve to be recognized accordingly.

We have worked with Chris on multiple occasions and we can’t say enough great things! Chris goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth process from start to finish. The communication and support is the best of the best. There really isn’t anyone we trust more to guide us through the selling/buying process!

Chris is the realtor to trust with your selling or buying journey. He was on top of everything the minute something came up to not slow our process down. We relocated from Alabama to Michigan and he made our house search stress free and stayed with us all the way to the closing table. Chris is the man hands down!!

Chris was wonderful to work with. We were moving from out of state and he was super helpful. He had great communication throughout the whole process.

Chris was a tremendous partner through out the selling process. He made everything easy which eased our hearts and minds. Thank you, Chris, for everything.

Dedicated, Researched, and Seasoned: Chris is the best! He is always polite, curtious, and knows his business. He’s good at getting back to you in a timely manner, truly cares about his clients and their needs when it comes to helping them sell a home. I highly recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking for a home. Thank you again for a wonderful experience.

Chris Hughes was exceptional! He took time to understand what we wanted and diligently watched for houses/condos to become available. He shot videos for us and offered to do FaceTime when we were out of state, and was always ready to help when we were in the area. He found the perfect condo for us, thoroughly investigated any questions that we had about the property, helped us in the negotiations to make the purchase, and continues to assist us even after the closing. Throughout all of this he was very responsive and quick to answer both texts and emails. We could not have asked for a better realtor to work with in finding our place in Grand Rapids. We highly recommend him.

He made me and my sale a priority. :)

Chris was very positive and helpful in coordinating several condensed viewings on an accelerated timetable.  He helped ensure everything went smoothly with the process, even though there was some uncertainty with our home sale that caused complexity.
