“I feel it is often too easy to click through 5 stars all the way down a survey just because it’s easier than actually putting in thought. Let me be clear - if I could give Christa more than 5 stars, I would. I regularly recommend her without hesitation, and have yet to hear back from an unhappy friend. There is no one more knowledgeable on market trends, value, location and negotiation that I have ever come across. She has represented me twice, and will continue to do so as long as she’s willing to deal with me.”
“Christa helped me purchase my first home and walked me through the entire process. It’s simply easier and safer working with someone you can trust and you know they have your best interest in mind. I’ll never buy another home without her in my life.”
“Christa and the Engel & V lkers team understand the ins and outs of real estate better than any other group we’ve worked with. They provide our team with detailed analysis, meaningful insights and always seize challenges with energy and professionalism. Their wholistic way of thinking and sales and marketing prowess are invaluable.”
“We’ve have worked with Christa Huffstickler for over a decade and seen her expertise firsthand. Her company is ahead of the curve on marketing and increasing our online presence while saving marketing dollars. No brokerage is worth their salt without being able to implement and execute on the business plan. Christa’s team does just that.”
