Testimonials

Christie is an excellent real estate agent and we recommend her without hesitation. She helped us buy an investment property in The Colony in December 2021. She made sure to understand what we were looking for and came to us with several ideas. Christie helped us craft the right bid on the right house and we won together. Throughout the process, Christie was patient with us and always available for calls and texts. Her attention to detail made closing an easy process for us. We relied on her expertise in many areas such as understanding the current market, location, repairs and negotiating a winning deal

I HIGHLY recommend Christie and will enthusiastically recommend her to anyone in need of the best realtor in the great state of Texas!

Christie is amazing! Her knowledge, follow up, attention to detail and experience are amazing but what truly sets Christie apart is that she cares about her clients and they are more than a transaction. She wants them to find and live in their Perfect Place. She attended closing, reviewed documents, was there for support and guidance during the new construction process and was very helpful in providing information to ensure all went smoothly.
Thank you Christie for helping me find my Perfect Place.

Wish I could give more stars! Christie is the absolute best. She made selling our home worry free! She’s thorough and she stays on top of every thing, big or small. She kept us informed throughout the entire process. In these crazy times with multiple offers, she walked us through the offers and helped us decide the option best for us. Christie is not just a great realtor, she’s an awesome person!

Christie Hill of Perfect Place Realty Group is energetic, professional, and caring. From the moment we met Christie, she began to educate us on the Dallas/Fort Worth housing market. Then, she worked tirelessly to find us the perfect home.
Christie guided us every step of the way, and answered our endless questions with patience and kindness. Without a doubt, we would strongly recommend Christie Hill to anyone looking for a home in this area.

In what was undoubtedly a trying environment, Christie helped us to get our home under contract in 12 days. She is an outstanding realtor - smart, organized, a great communicator, an outstanding negotiator, and always a step ahead of what is going on. Christie takes the time to get to know her buyers’ likes and dislikes, and she looks for homes that fit their style. Her knowledge of her clients, combined with her realism, allows her to point out things they will both appreciate and might also find bothersome (but they might otherwise overlook during the excitement of a new home purchase).
I’ve used a few realtors here in the North Texas area. Whereas it feels like some realtors are in a rush to make the sale and get the check, Christie takes a genuine pride in finding her clients the right home, and selling their home on the terms that are best for them. This, combined with her integrity, makes her the best realtor we’ve ever worked with. While I hope we don’t move for the next 20 years, I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!

Wow, this was such a great experience. I've bought a house before and working with a realtor is not always the best experience. Everyone knows a Realtor and they usually hound you once they know you are looking to purchase a home. Not Christie with Perfect Place Realty. When I told her I would be looking for a home soon, she gave me some great advice on where to start and let her know when I was ready.
Again, I've worked with other Realtors before but none of them ever made me feel as comfortable with the entire process as Christie did. She sent me some lenders that might help but was in no way pushy on using them.
Once I was approved for a loan, we or actually she went to work on finding a home for me.
With the market being as competitive as it was, she knew there would be multiple offers on any house we went after and then gave me the best advice. She told me that if this is the house I wanted, then let's swing for the fences. In this advice, she said it might be advantageous to write a letter to the seller because YOU NEVER KNOW. This letter was to explain a little about myself being a single dad trying to move closer to my daughter so I could spend more time with her, reasons I liked the house, complimenting them on how they have kept up the house and to even submit a pic or two. I was a little hesitant at first, but thought oh well, it couldn't hurt.
Well it worked. It seems that there were several bids higher than mine. Yet, the seller received my letter, was a single mom herself and knows what it's like to want to be closer to your child. She liked the compliments I gave her on the house and with a little adjustment on my bid, she chose to sell the house to me. I've been in the home over a month now and couldn't be more happy with it. Thank you Christie for all the hard work you put into helping me find my Perfect Place. A 5 Star rating is 100% deserved. You're the best.

I am so thankful for Christie! My husband and I were first time homebuyers and honestly did not know much about buying a home. Christie helped us so much! She helped us find a house that was perfect for us in a time that it was very difficult to find houses especially at the price point that we wanted. In 2021 it was so hard to find a house due to bidding wars and a number of other factors. Christie helped us find a home quickly even in a time that most people were struggling to find a home. She has so much knowledge about the market and understanding what makes a house worth the money. Her expertise in finance gives her a wealth of knowledge that most others do not have. Not only did she help us find a home that was what we were looking for, she has been so kind and helpful above and beyond any realtor I have ever met. She is an amazing realtor but also a kind and person. She truly cares about the people that she works with. Not to mention, we have had our house for a year now and she still checks in on us! I would recommend her hands down before anyone else. You’ll be making a mistake to work with anyone else.

Christie was a pleasure to work with from start to finish and definitely deserves a five star review. She helped me so much during my move from Colorado to Texas and was always available with recommendations and for any questions I had. She went above and beyond to make sure I found my Texas home at a fair price. She also provided the exact input I needed to make decisions in an area where I had very little knowledge on locations. She is definitely an expert in this area! I will definitely use her for any future needs and would be happy to recommend her to family and friends.

Christie was so easy to work with from the beginning to the end. She went out of her way the day we called her with our listing to meet us that afternoon. She handled everything for us flawlessly. We live in east texas and she handled everything for us. We never had to drive to The Colony until closing. Thanks again so much Christie! Would highly recommend her anytime!

Christie did a phenom job at selling our home in Castle Hills and got us top dollar for it. She was very knowledgeable, responsive and a joy to work with. Her negotiation skills are unmatched I think. More than anything Christie cared for us as a family and not as just a transaction of selling a home. Dont think twice about it get her to represent you!

Christie is a consummate professional and the best realtor I have met and worked with (I have transacted on multiple residential and commercial properties). Christie recently helped me find a home (in the summer of 2021). As you can imagine, it was a crazy time to buy a home. Because of her knowledge of the market, diligence, and interpersonal skills, I was able to close on the home that I am very happy with. She was formerly a finance/accounting executive, and as a finance executive myself, I really appreciated how she knew her numbers and how to structure the right deal in a residential transaction. She is also an extremely hard worker. For one of the bids we worked on, she stayed up till 2am putting all the paperwork together so that we could get the best bid to the sellers in a timely manner. We toured dozens of homes together, and each time, she had the comps and multiple angles of analysis put together for each home, in case we had to move forward quickly. She executed all of her work with a positive attitude and goals of making sure that I found the perfect home that I was happy with. I will gladly send all my friends and family to her to buy/sell homes. You cannot go wrong with having Christie on your side. I look forward to working with her again.

Christie has become our new best friend! She helped and guided us through the process of selling our home and with the building our new dream home. We can honestly say that she had our best interest at heart all. She is the best! She was thorough and professional and great to collaborate with. I will recommend and refer all of my family and friends to Christie with their future real-estate needs.
