Christine & Company Real Estate LLC

"I know I am a little late to the game because we purchased our home in late 2022.. but I wanted to express how unhappy I am with the purchase and how many corners seemed to be cut in us purchasing the house. We found a decent house that was within our budget. We didnt need anything fancy, but wanted a secure home as our first. We asked TONS of questions during the buying process, but unfortunately in retrospect... we see the questions we missed. Lets take it back to the inspection - since the house was being sold as is, we wanted to have it inspected - our realtor suggested an inspector and this being our first home purchase, we decided to just roll with it. We noticed a few things out of the gate that needed attention -- including the electric. We were told by both our realtor and the inspector that the electric is an easy fix and we can just go down and get new breakers from home depot to fix our issue. It turns out... they dont make breakers for the box anymore because it is so old... and so the only solution is to replace the entire box. Upon hiring an electrician, we found that to bring our home up to code and just replace the parts that were old / out of code (meter, new line in, new breaker box) the work was going to be around 9k. We had multiple quotes all around the same price. The inspector also somehow missed that the furnace was not operation and full of dirt because it was sitting directly on the ground. Since day one its always something new with this house and we just recently found that none of the plumbing is up to code either. There is no pressure regulation, multiple leaks that we have found and fixed, and its just altogether poorly constructed - none of which was notified in the inspection. Ill stop ranting - because i do know some of that is on the buyer to verify, but it just feels like the entire process was rushed beyond be his real estate company just wanted to get us into a house so that we would being another customer through the gate. Unfortunate experience buying through this company. So far the repairs we have made to this house just to make it livable has been near 5000, and that is without paying the 9k for the electric and whatever it will cost to bring the hot water heater up to standard. (We found that the hot water heater was not even close to vented properly and has been emitting carbon monoxide into our home. Please just use a different company. Please."

"Recently we had to sell the family home. Christine & Co Real Estate was referred by a good friend to represent us. My brothers and I met with Christine. She gave us a recommended sell price, as well as her strategy for marketing and selling. We liked what we heard, and signed a contract with her. A total of 11 days later we received a full price, no inspection, cash offer! The closing was even accelerated at the buyer’s request; Christine facilitated this to make it happen. Christine did an outstanding job for my family. She was professional, polite and actually fun to work with. She is obviously very knowledgeable about the market, and her communication thru the entire process was timely and appreciated. This is absolutely a 5-star rating! I’d highly recommend Christine as a real estate professional!"

"Christine helped me with the very difficult decision to sell my Mother’s home and I was so glad to have her in my corner and by my side. She handled everything from arranging the various inspections, the title insurance and of course was with me during the closing. I highly recommend Christine for your real estate sale or purchase needs."

"As a first time home buyer, Christine made the process very easy. Throughout every step Christine kept me informed and was very knowledgeable. Would recommend Christine for anyone buying or selling a home."

"We decided it was finally time to make the move to a smaller home closer to our daughter's family. To make this happen we had to sell our old Victorian in Lexington. Believing it would be very difficult to find a buyer and get fair market value, we contacted Christine Backs in Lexington and she got it done! Our buyer was accommodating in all aspects of the transaction and. Christine coordinated every step. If you have a unique and challenging real estate issue or a very standard routine transaction, Christine and Co. Is the best in value and professional expertise. Full 5 stars rating from us.
