Christian and Associates Real Estate, LLC

My husband and I just moved into our new home in Manhattan, which we purchased with the help of Ann Christian. We found Ann to be everything a great realtor should be - professional, available at any time, responsive, generous, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. Throughout the whole process, (and through a few bumps in the road) we always knew Ann 'had our back' and would advocate for us with our best interests in mind. THANK YOU, Ann, for making a stressful but exciting time in our lives such a pleasant experience overall. You're the best.

Ann Christian is a caring, attentive, fair, experienced, and professional realtor. She helped us through some issues around closing due to not being able to perform a proper walk through of the house. The purpose of a Buyer’s agent is to deal on your behalf and act as a buffer with the other party. Ann Christian did her job well. Ann Christian will protect your interests as a Buyer or Seller. She was honest with us and has great principles. Don’t buy a house without a realtor and Ann Christian should be your first choice.

We had a great experience working with Tiffany. I couldn’t believe how responsive she was to all our requests and questions. She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends). Tiffany exceeded any of my expectations, She knew far more than we ever hoped to, about the process of buying a home. As a first-time homebuyer, I was not familiar with the terminology or the best process, people to involve. Tiffany took time to sit with us, answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly right away and determined what would be a good fit for us. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Tiffany made it as painless and straightforward as possible. We highly recommend her.

Brenda really came through and went above and beyond for us. She not only was our realtor, she was someone who ultimately cared and helped us choose a house that was right for us. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.

I understand that, as a buyer's agent, the role of the realtor is to protect the interests of the buyer. This does not, however, excuse how Ann Christian turned a situation that was totally out of our control into a very unpleasant selling experience for us. It is not acceptable to step on others while they are down, and assume you need to use a stick to 'make people do the right thing', regardless of which 'side' you are on. In a civil society, an effort should always be made to solve difficult situations through respectful discussion between two reasonable parties.

To say that 'we did the correct thing in the end', and thereby imply that we were not doing our best, at all times during the process, to remedy a situation that was extremely stressful and totally out of our control explains why you thought it was necessary to use the approach you did towards us.

It is not out of frustration that I decided to write this review, but out of sadness and disappointment. Manhattan has been a wonderful place to live and it is unfortunate that this had to be one of our final experiences of this town we have called home. It is never excusable to deal with people in a manner that assumes they are not, under extremely difficult circumstances, trying their utmost to meet deadlines.

Ann, of course, we have put this behind us. It was a series of very unlikely and unfortunate events that put us as sellers in a vulnerable position from which you extracted advantage for your clients, such is life, but I hope that in the future you pause to think that the people you are dealing with ‘on the other side’ (the sellers in this case) are professional and reasonable and should be treated that way.
