We were in a quandary as to who to choose as a real estate agent in the sale of our home. We did some research, and asked our niece, who is also in real estate in another state, do a little research as to the qualifications of the agents we were looking into. We decided on Cristi, and her team at Compass, because she was the one, while working with the developer, who sold us our home originally 15 years prior, and our niece had given her a thumbs up. Once we selected Cristi and Compass, we had several meetings about property values and what to market our house at before deciding on a price that we both thought was reasonable and within market values for our area. To our surprise the house sat, and sat, and sat on the market for about 2 1/2 months. We regrouped, lowered the price, and finally received an offer. But for some reason, they pulled out and we were back to square one on trying to sell our home. My wife and I, and Cristi, were beside ourselves wondering why such a prime location in San Diego‘s, Little Italy was not selling. She kept saying “ Have a little faith and patience, it will sell. We just need to find that right buyer.” With Cristi’s knowledge and a little insistence, we finally decided to paint and stage the house, raise the selling price, and that made all the difference. Because my wife and I were already traveling, she fronted the staging and painting monies knowing that she would recoup that after the sale of the house. It was a leap of faith on her part, but because she had sold us the house, and we had that familiarity between us, she was not worried. That takes a special person/agent to do that for customer, and we really appreciated her for going above and beyond to help us sell our home. It’s sold in one day. Yeah! My wife and I cannot praise Cristi and her team at Compass, Max, Carly, and Victor enough. They were all extremely professional when showing our home, making a point to show off all the special highlights and upgrades that we had done to our home over the 15 years that we owned it. There are many real estate companies out there, and many real estate agents, and we are sure that many of them are good. But we found Cristi and her team at Compass to be OUTSTANDING, and can, without reservation, highly recommend them to anyone trying to sell their home. They go out of their way to make sure the homeowner is fully informed of the process, but more importantly, they make sure the clients are as unstressed during the selling process as possible. Thank you Cristi and Compass for all your hard work at selling our home. ❤️

We moved into Pacific Gate in the first wave and got to witness Cristi’s work ethic and dedication to her clients first-hand over the next 3 years as she continued representing the Bosa sales department until the building was essentially full. Her dedication to the Bosa organization continued after joining Compass by trying to help move the last few properties remaining which, again, she did not have to do. When we decided to sell our condo, we did not consider anyone but Cristi to represent us as our realtor. Cristi presented the market data, market trends, and a marketing plan in a very professional way. She listened to our desires and concerns and helped us decide on an approach and price that felt right. Throughout the process, her communications and advise were spot on. She used her marketing creativity to virtually stage our home photos so we would not be inconvenienced. Her market approach paid off with multiple viewings quickly. Clients from her past had expressed an interest in obtaining a larger unit years ago. Cristi followed-up with them and introduced them to our property. Cristi ended up representing both that buyer and the us in the transaction. We do not know the ends and outs of real estate transactions but keeping both sides happy throughout the process must be no small feat. This is a testament to her wonderful interpersonal and negotiating skills. We just turned over the keys to her with the transaction completed much quicker than we ever dreamed. We are sad, not just to be leaving our home for 3 years but sad that we will not be seeing Christi’s beautiful smile and engaging personality frequently. She has become more that a real estate broker to us, she is a friend. And we hope she will be a part of our circle of friends for many years to come. Without hesitation and with great confidence, we wholeheartedly offer this letter of recommendation. You will be happy to have her in your service. Feel free to phone for a verbal recommendation.

I recently sold my Little Italy condo with the assistance and expertise of Chaquica & Associates. From my initial contact and through the entire process, I felt that I was in experienced hands and received expert guidance and communication. The advice I received as far as prepping my home was spot on. Their photographer took awesome photos for the listing that really highlighted the space, the views and the location. Cristi or Carly met with each potential buyer, giving them tours of my condo as well as the entire La Vita building and amenities. Both of them are very familiar with the property and location, and were able to highlight the many features. I was also impressed and pleased with how smoothly the contract, escrow and closing process went. Great communications throughout, and any questions I had were answered in detail and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend the entire Chaquica & Associates team!

I had the pleasure of working with Cristi & Carly to find a condo that was perfect for me. They are both incredibly knowledgeable, patient, helpful and friendly which made the entire process fun and easy. I look forward to partnering with Cristi & Carly in the future when it's time to sell my condo and buy a house. All of this is to say that I would absolutely recommend working with Chaquica & Associates if you are looking to buy or sell your home - you will not regret it. Thank you both so much again for everything!

Cristi is tenacious, professional and truly cares about her clients. She has helped us sell two homes and helped us find our first and now second dream home. She takes the time to really understand what her clients are looking for and looks out for true quality and value at the same time. Cristi guides you through your home sale to help you get the best price in any market. Cristi does not stop until you've found and secured your dream home. Very responsive, caring and thorough. We love Cristi!

Cristi is fantastic. Cristi understands the emotional and financial motivations of buyers, sellers, and agents involved in a transaction. She knows how to pace reactions and responses to maximize benefit to her clients while shepherding deals to a close. She is incredibly enthusiastic about every property she lists. She was able to get my house sold above my expected price and closed on time. If you are lucky enough to get her and follow her advice, you should be as happy as I am.

Working with Cristi has been a blessing. We’ve been working together for quiet some time now and I can easily say that she’s made me a better photographer. Every listing she gets tops the last! No matter how busy she gets she’s always there to make sure things run smoothly at the photoshoot. The way she works with her clients makes me realize why she’s a top agent here in San Diego. Always going above and beyond separates her from the rest.

Cristi’s professional services are premier level. She is communicative, responsive, action oriented, and has incredible attention to detail. We were excited to work with her in the downtown market because of her extension knowledge and network in the luxury condominium arena. We will certainly work with Cristi again when we sell our property down the road. She is a great advisor, always pleasant and helpful and follows through on the deal.

Cristi is the consummate pro. She convinced us to list our place lower than we wanted with the idea it would spark more interest and perhaps a bidding war. She was right. We had twelve showings the first weekend we listed, and five good offers within 3 days. We countered $300K more than we listed, had an immediate sale and closed within 3 weeks. Cristi guided us every step and was fantastic!

Cristi is a consummate professional. She knows her market (especially the higher end), is polished, capable, and great at what she does. And she gets results! She is extremely warm, friendly, and respectful, and she's wonderful to work with both as a listing and as a buyer's agent/broker. You won't regret working with Cristi's team… but you might regret NOT working with her if you don't!

Cristi was so wonderful, patient and thorough while we took several months exploring coastal San Diego neighborhoods. She was always exceptionally responsive, personable and professional and we would highly recommend her to anyone in their search for a beautiful San Diego dream home! She also had fabulous follow through with any questions we had prior, during and after escrow.

Cristi and Carly have provided an excellent and professional real estate service to quickly list my property and secure an offer and close the deal in a very short time .

Selling a home can be very stressful; Cristi's industry knowledge is very appreciated and I would recommend her and her fabulous team to all!
