The qualities I found in Chris are critical to the home purchase/sale process. These include...
-Quality of Character - Chris is true to his clients. It is important to him that the client find the home of their desire and part of that is his open and honest approach to managing the clients expectations. Relocating from a larger city, Chris not only worked to find the right property, he spent the time bringing me together with the new community I was joining. He clearly is a strong advocate for the city he has come to love and he wants his client to share the same experience..
- Exceptional knowledge and understanding of the market and the diverse characteristics of the Austin area neighborhoods. - Chris has a firm grasp on the Austin area real estate market, but what I found equally important was his understanding of the "personalities" of the areas that were included in my search. This is an invaluable trait that a realtor must bring when a client is relocating to a new city.
- Communication Skills - Chris possesses the right balance of knowing when and what to communicate with his clients. Because he has a clear understanding of your needs and expectations he does not leave you with any unanswered questions.
Chris will be my realtor for as long as I reside in the Austin area!

In looking for the right agent, I wanted someone who was dedicated to their profession - I also wanted someone who was knowledgeable and who wouldn’t tell me what I wanted to hear. I found that in Chris Long. The greatest benefits that I have experienced from working with Chris is that he is serious, experienced and dedicated - which gives me great confidence that I can rely on his advice throughout the process, beginning to end. Because he is so well informed and has his finger on the pulse of the market, this makes buying and selling at the right price possible and removes the uncertainty from the process. Working with Chris has been professional, friendly, and satisfying.

In a sea of mediocre real estate agents, Chris Long shines like a star. Highly intelligent, Chris knows the Austin real estate market inside and out. He knows where to buy and why and can show you the numbers to prove it. Our move to Austin and the purchase of our home was much more complicated and emotional than we anticipated. However, Chris made everything as simple and painless as he could. He truly cared about us finding the right home, and jumped over MANY hurdles to make sure we happy. Chris "gets it" on both a personal and professional level for his clients. He is much more than a real estate agent, he is now our friend.

I had been familiar with Chris Long's name for years before we decided to list with him. He does a good job of being a part of the neighborhood fabric. His track record and professionalism can put any nervous seller at ease. I felt that Chris did a great job of setting the conversation at a particular level.
We had a number to get for our house. He knew that and managed through a multiple offer situation so we ended up with a deal that was more than we expected. We were dreading having to make the house show-ready every morning as we went to work. Luckily, we had an accepted offer in 3 days after it listed.

I enlisted the services of Chris Long after my condo had an initial unsuccessful and prolonged time on the MLS with a previous agent. Chris put together a marketing plan to immediately introduce it to a large group of agents, held numerous open houses, and created a strong marketing program via his professional connections, publication marketing, and other strategic approaches that led to a successful closing. His management of keeping the deal on track in a difficult market gave me great solace and great satisfaction that I had the right agent for a transaction that was filled with challenges.

Your outstanding performance in finding us homes to purchase, as well as your expertise in marketing and selling our finished homes has been outstanding. We truly appreciate all of the effort you have put into working with us. Top dollar on our sales and a great purchase price on the purchased homes you have brought us, has really added to the bottom line of our business. We just wanted you to know, as 2018 ends, that we are so happy to have worked with you these many years and look forward to a long relationship. You are one of the best people we have found to work with in our business.

Working with Chris on the sale of our home turned out to be a fantastic decision. Our property was a bit tricky: a top-notch renovation of a relatively small house for the neighborhood meant we would be asking a price per square foot much higher than the local average. Therefore, we needed an agent with an excellent feel for the market, extensive relationships in the real estate community, and top-notch marketing skills. Chris brought all of this to the table, as well as fast, clear communication and analysis. It could not have been a better experience!

We can’t recommend Chris Long highly enough. In addition to being exceptionally knowledgeable about the Austin real estate market, he is a thoughtful listener and a consummate professional. Chris thoroughly researched comparable sales for the house we were listing and came up with a great pricing strategy that resulted in multiple offers the day after we put it on the market. He communicated clearly and succinctly throughout the sale process and was always responsive. We would definitely turn to him again.
Carmine Salvucci and Steve Brister
We know that Chris is a sought after agent, yet he somehow makes you feel like you are his only client! He is attentive, available and data driven in his recommendations while still appreciating the emotion that accompanies any home sale or purchase. He is kind, smart and eminently trustworthy. We have and continue to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Austin. He's the best.

Being new to Austin and having no knowledge of who to choose for a realtor, Chris Long was a godsend. My previous experiences with buying or selling a home had been less than pleasant. Chris made the process seamless. He was communicative every step of the way, letting me know exactly what was going on. He worked diligently to make sure I got the house I wanted while staying within my budget. He has renewed my faith in the home buying process.
Susan Campion and Candis Guidry
We love our home ALMOST as much as we LOVE our realtor, Chris Long. No one will work harder to make your dream home a Reality! Chris made the process seamless and fun - when we were discouraged, he renewed our hope, time and time again. You won't find anyone who will work harder to make your dreams come true! Thanks Chris!

Chris was our home buying savior. Being new to the area, he talked us through the benefits of different neighborhoods and then identified homes to match our family's needs. Ultimately he found us our home that we love, before it even hit the market. He also was incredibly helpful navigating the various steps we had to take in the final phases of closing on our home. Overall, we can't say enough good things about Chris' work. Lastly and most importantly, Chris is a kind and conscientious person.

His proven skills and uniquely personal approach make him the best choice for listing or buying your dream home.
