For our home sale, Chris (and Andrea) were really superior, and this in a crazy market! The marketing itself (including the 3-D) was further than we had previously ever encountered. The strategic bidding process was handled very well, and follow-up through escrow completion was super. Many, many thanks!

Chris at Remax has been my real estate advisor for at least 15 years, I would never sell or buy a house without him

Chris͏ was a good agent. We chose him because he was familiar with the Hemet four seasons properties and he had knowledge of short sales. It was tough time for my Dad as he did not want really want to sell his house but Chris made it a good experience for him

Chris and his whole team were amazing. They made the process very simple and easy for us to deal with. When you have to sell a home all you can think of was about open houses etc. it is very overwhelming and with Covid-19 we had no idea how this all would work out, but it was great how they notified me of any time there was going to be a showing, even a day or to before which was so nice. I would differently recommend him and the team for both buying and selling.

Chris͏ and Andre were spot on with pricing, market expectations, and created a smooth selling process.
Chris͏ and Andrea visited us in our home and offered their expert advice on how to best show our house in pictures and in person. We followed all their suggestions. They let us know what to expect as we went through the showing process. Their predictions on the current market trends (slowing down) were exactly as described. They told us our house should sell in the first weekend. It did! We had multiple offers and were able to sell the house far above the listed price. The closing process was also extremely smooth. They told me it was unusual how easy our home sale was. But, I think they had something to do with it. We are very happy we used them as our listing agents.

Chris͏ was amazing. This was difficult time for me, and with a hectic work schedule, I wasn't the best with communication, or timelines all the time, thankfully Chris was! He was always ahead of the game and working hard for me. It was like having a very trusted friend, with my best interest in mind working on my side. He got me exactly what he said he would! He made the process as easy as he could. The technology they use and how they present a sale is fantastic. He also helped with additional issues I had at the house to help get the house ready for sale and sold. He knows and understands the market and kept me informed the whole way through. It was only on the market maybe 2 wks before we started a 30 day escrow and even that was finished before the 30 days! I am very grateful to Chris and Andrea. If you're unsure, just call them, as soon as you meet them, you'll understand how salt of the earth these folks are, and how well they know their business.

My realtor Tina was very accommodating. I had only certain days to look for homes and she would list 4-5 homes to look at. As I saw several houses online or in person my wants would change and she would say alright and the next week she would have me look at those. I was about to agree with my husband and restart looking next year. She didn't get mad or try to convince to keep looking. She held my hand. The last house we looked at had a-lot of my wants. With Tina help going through the finances, escrow and seller and all my calls. We have our home. Thanks Tina for all your help.

Lisa͏ has to be the best agent I’ll ever work with. She was punctual and attentive to my every request. As a young home owner I didn’t know what to do but Lisa came to the rescue and showed me how easy buying a home should be. I was impressed and will hire again for future representation. 10/10

Chris and the team did a fantastic job walking me through the process of buying and selling a home. They made what felt like an impossible task seem possible, and were able to get my family into a great home. I cannot say enough about their level of care, insight and kindness. It has made the difference for my family and I am eternally grateful.

I͏ would recommend Chris to EVERYONE!!!
I was with another agent and the house was just sitting for almost 45 days and we really needed to sell quickly as my husband had already got a transfer out of state. After canceling the other agent I found Chris through a coworker. Chris came to my house with all the comps from the area. He was so well prepared and knowledgeable about the area and told us exactly what he was going to do to help get us moving and on our way. He was there every step on the way to answer all our questions. Everything went according to plan and now we are on our way to our new adventure.

Tina͏ Rogers made the home buying process a breeze!
Tina͏ was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions, she made the whole homebuying process a breeze, with her knowledge she took her time to explain things to me that I didn’t understand as a first time home buyer it’s hard to trust anyone but I fully trusted Tina and she made it happen for me, I would definitely recommend her to anyone and I will definitely work with her again if I ever need to sell my house or buy another house, she’s awesome.

I live on the East Coast and engaged RE/MAX Empire Properties because of the number of homes he was selling in short periods of time. Not being familiar with CA real-estate rules/laws I think I may have been shorted a little. CA real-estate processes are entirely different than out East. However bottom line Chris sold my house as contracted. We were communicating all the time, he was responsive to my questions. Would I hire him again? Absolutely!

Cory was a pleasure to work with. He clearly understands his market and provided me with valuable insights about that market and where my properties fit in. I was included in all discussions about pricing and buyer negotiations so I never felt "out of the loop". Most importantly, I felt I could trust Cory. I would never hesitate to work with him again should the occasion arise.

I live on the East coast and engaged Chris because I liked the number of homes he was selling in a short period of time. While I was searching for someone he would call or email me weekly. I signed, there were title issues on the property in California he stayed with me until I cleared the issues up.
He got a buyer in a very short time, the buyer was dragging we forced the buyer to make up their mind they bought the house. If I had another house to sell in California I would engage the services of Chris Murray again.

We have worked with Cory since 2009 and will continue to do so. He is the only realtor that we trust with our real estate needs. He is great at communicating; just a phone call or text away. May I add very knowledgeable. We highly recommend him if you are looking for a seamless and smooth transaction whether it be buying or selling a home. You won't be disappointed

I met with a few realtors suggested by Dave Ramsey. I like them all, but Chris was persistent about earning my business and that's exactly who I wanted negotiating offers for me.

Love Tina so much! Went through two agents and finally found Tina! She made the process so much easier and stress free with her knowledge, humor and attentiveness. She became more than agent; she became a friend.

Seamless process from start to finish. Chris and Andrea are incredibly detail oriented, professional and kind. They helped us sell our home, we had multiple offers and we sold the home within 7 days and closed escrow in less than a month!. I recommend them to everyone I know looking to sell a home.

Chris and Andrea are the best! We met with 4 different realtors and decided to go with them because of their communication and information they provided upfront. Andrea was really helpful, she gave us guides on what to expect and was always available to answer our questions and just be there for me anytime I needed anything. They also helped find us our new home and we couldn't be happier! If you want the best, you have to hire them, they are a power couple! Thank you again for getting us our dream home!

Chris and Andrea are the absolute best you are going to find at their job. Extremely professional, incredibly responsive, and willing to help you understand any parts of the selling process you might have questions about. We started talking to Chris and Andrea almost 3 years before we finally pulled the trigger on selling our house, and they never made us feel pressured to move forward or like we were not valued customers. And once things got started, they took care of everything. Best Agents Ever and would gladly work with again in a heartbeat (if we still lived in CA)
