What do Clients Say?

My wife and I invest in real estate and have known Christine Downing almost 10 years. She has been our real estate expert during this time and has helped us significantly in the purchasing and selling of homes, providing assistance in the renting and managing of these properties, providing real-time detailed information on the local and national housing markets and been an excellent advisor on our real estate matters. We have found Christine to be honest, ethical, knowledgeable, educated, reasonable, fair and timely in all of our dealings with her. It is without hesitation that we whole heartedly endorse Christine Downing for your real estate needs.

It is with great pleasure for me to write a letter that just barely touches the satisfaction that we received while working with Christine Downing.Christine was patient with us and didn’t push us to go beyond the limits that we set for ourselves. We didn’t keep count of how many houses that she showed us, but I know it was close to 50 or more. All this time she never pushed us to make an offer, but at the same time provided us with insightful information about the properties and neighborhoods. In my professional career, I have had the opportunity to work with and around dozens of realtors, as well as other professionals, and have never worked with someone who is more focused on customer service. Christine’s attention to detail, knowledge of the field and no-pressure approach was greatly appreciated. We can’t imagine going through this process with anyone but her. Anybody that buys or sells property in DFW and does not use Christine will surely have a less than optimal experience. Christine truly makes you feel as if you are the most important client that she has, and I beg my friends, family, and clients to give her a call before going with someone else.

We just purchased a home with Christine Downing as our realtor. We have worked with other realtors in other moves, but Christine is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. In terms of communication and understanding our criteria Christine is head and shoulders above the rest. She understands the market and the basics of construction, so her advice is invaluable. She also has lived and worked in the area so long that when we asked for it, she was able to refer us to the best painter, carpet cleaner and even hairdresser! She had answers to each one of our questions and kept us informed every step of the way. Christine was patient with us, and never pressured us to settle for a home out of our price range or for a home that didn’t fit our unique needs. It is obvious that Christine wanted what was best for our family, and she didn’t rest until she found it. In our case, Christine more than earned her money!

When my family and I learned we were being relocated to Texas a few months ago we focused on homes in the Allen/Lucas area. After a few weeks of pouring over the MLS and cruising various real estate sites we realized we needed to quickly identify a buyer’s agent to help us narrow our selection. We were incredibly lucky to be referred to Christine Downing and to commission her to assist us in our search.Christine grew up in the area, she knows virtually every house that is on the market and is an absolute joy to work with. When I flew the whole family in for a long weekend she spent over two days showing us homes and counseling us on the unique challenges affecting houses in North Texas. Because she has kids of her own she was able to relate to our two teenagers and address them at their level. By the end of the three days, and 14 house tours later, it felt as if we were her only clients. It had become obvious that her goal was to do whatever it took to meet our needs. She far exceeded our highest expectations. In the end it was her background as a contractor that proved invaluable when we found a property that was close to perfect but in need of some minor remodeling.I can’t say enough about Christine as a professional that gives 100% of her time satisfying her client’s specific requirements. Feel free to contact me and I’ll tell you more about how Christine Downing turned the King Family into Raving Fans!

I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with Christine Downing as a realtor. Throughout the entire process Christine was professional, conscientious, and motivated. I always felt as though I was only his only client.In my interviews of prospective realtors, it became very apparent Christine was the realtor for me. She has significant experience, knowledge of the market, and quite knowledgeable of our area of Dallas. Christine was very helpful in guiding me in setting an acceptable price and setting up open houses. She was very prompt in installing signs, running advertisements, and following up on every detail.In finalizing all the detail work involved in closing my home Christine met all requirements in my timeframe in a very challenging market. My house sold for exactly for what I wanted in a 60 day timeframe and everything she discussed with me during the process came to fruition.I highly recommend Christine to anyone looking for a highly reliable and effective real estate agent.
