“Chris has been our real estate agent for 10 years. She has sold 3 homes for us and bought 2 homes. She is professional, committed, and always available. We would be lost without her. Anyone trying to buy or sell a home will be very fortunate to have Chris as their agent.“

"Chris has worked with us on four purchase/sale transactions; our first with her when moving back to the US in August 2010 and our most recent, June 2023. Each time, whether acting as our buyer or seller agent, Chris maintained absolute professionalism. She considered mine and my husband's personalities, making each experience personal and flawless from the execution of contracts to closing. She has always taken the time to educate us re: area market which helped to manage our expectations and allowed for ease with each transaction. In addition, Chris's quick wit and charming sense of humor, made the rare, occasional frustration, seem completely unimportant. Without fail, she kept us on track, providing us with any contact or professional needed to complete and keep commitments made by either party. Chris was in constant contact, sometimes answering questions before we knew we had them. She, herself, is a wealth of information and a resource all her own. Our last transaction was the sale of a property, which was listed, 24 hours later had our first showing, went immediately under contract and 30 days later, we closed and the sale complete! It doesn't get much better! Highly, recommend Chris Reid! She will always have our business!"

"Chris Reid helped us during our recent home search and we found her to be absolutely wonderful! She brought a wealth of knowledge to our home hunt by drawing on her background in architecture, art, and local history. She was always easy to reach and quick to respond to our questions and concerns. Most importantly, Chris really listened and was always eager and excited to show us new properties. She also suggested properties that were within the styles and search parameters that we were interested in. This saved us an incredible amount of time during our home search process. Chris had (or found) answers to our questions, she offered great market insight, and she walked us step-by-step through the house buying process. We would recommend Chris to anyone searching for a home in the Pensacola area." 

"Chris thoroughly and realistically evaluated both the strengths and weaknesses of my 110-year-old newly renovated house. She made reasonable suggestions to enhance the property and helped me implement them by contacting appropriate tradesmen and by overseeing the repairs/improvements when I could not. She made multiple suggestions regarding the wording of a sales contract which resulted in tremendous savings. She worked diligently to showcase the house on all available media. Most importantly she listened and heard my comments, suggestions, and concerns. The process of selling this much-loved home was as easy as possible because of her. Many thanks, Chris!!"

"I have bought and sold seven houses over the years and Chris Reid is by far the best realtor that I have worked with. She placed our house on the market with Coming Soon and it sold the first day of showing with multiple offers, Chris was very focused, paid attention to every detail throughout the process of the sale and kept us informed of what to do next. She is well known within the Pensacola real estate community and extremely knowledgeable about historic houses and the East Hill market. My husband and I recommend her highly to assist you in the sale of your home."

"Chris is a wonderful realtor and was very attentive to our needs and responsive to our questions and concerns. Chris does her homework, is a great researcher and knows the Pensacola area very well. By keeping herself up to date on the current market she can provide a wealth of knowledge about the area and the current market. This is the second house that she helped us sell. Chris negotiated a great deal for us as the sellers and was also instrumental in keeping the buyers informed and happy. She responded to our calls and texts quickly and had helpful suggestions and accurate information. Her pleasant but professional personality helped navigate the “ins and out” of the home buying and selling market. Chris was able to keep the closing process moving along in spite of the backlog caused by the current hot housing market. We would definitely use Chris again for our real estate needs- she is the best!"

"Chris Reid is the most pleasurable, competent, and professional realtor I have ever dealt with. On the first day we met, she had already done plenty of homework. She showed me the recent sales for comparable homes in the area and made many prudent comments about the older home. She listened intently as I explained my ideas and thoughts. After thoroughly understanding them, Chris offered several suggestions and a variety of approaches I could take. After that was decided, she explained exactly what she would be doing to sell the house. It was priced reasonably, and I received an offer in just a few weeks due to the exposure she gave to it. Several problems arose after the home inspection. So, with Chris' help, we were able to correct/fix those problems in short order. Chris was always on top of everything! The bottom line was a very successful sale. I highly recommend Chris Reid as a realtor whether you are selling or buying a house. Chris is a delightful person and the best realtor that I know."
