Chris is very detail oriented and extremely knowledgeable about the real estate arena. If you are looking for a realtor that will work hard for you and not drop the ball - Chris is the Realtor for you!
Chris has now helped us find a home in Canto for my parents & then helped them sell it. He also listed my daughters family home in Marietta & sold it above asking price. I was also fortunate enough to sell our Ball Ground home above asking price & get a great deal on our new Woodstock home. Chris has worked extremely hard for our families & he will do the same for you! All of this since January of 2020!

I recently worked with Chris as a lender for a client he was helping purchase a home. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the market and his response time. He did a great job educating his clients on the type of offer to make and explaining the competitiveness of the market. He reached out to the other agent and introduced himself, also sent me the information needed so I could let the agent know how qualified our clients were. He was also able to negotiate closing cost from the seller. Overall, a great experience for this family. Well done, Chris, it's great to how committed you're to your craft.

I would recommend Chris to anyone for help with their real estate needs. He is extremely professional in all of his interaction. We spent the better part of the day looking at properties in the Pickens/Cherokee county area. He never tried to push a property on us or rush us. Instead he got to know us and our wants. He took the time to educate us about each piece of land that we looked at. We will continue to use and recommend Chris in the future.

Being a 1st-time homeowner and moving from another state, I thought the process would be a real nightmare, but we were fortunate to work with Chris. From the first email, it was apparent how professional, compassionate and friendly he is. He walked us through the process, explained it in detail, and answered all our questions. He was kind and patient, visited and inspected all the properties we choose online. We are living in another state and couldn't physically see the houses. He acted as our eyes and ears using all kinds of technologies, from phone cameras to zoom calls. Chris offered sincere consulting advice for each property based on our needs, like the property's size, area, schools, and children's suitability. Later, when we decided to visit the state and check the house we liked, he was the best guide for the area. Showed us around and went through all pros and cons of the property, neighborhood, and county. Chris went above and beyond to make sure the closing process goes smooth and easy. Even after the closure, he still helping us with the move and settling. If you are looking for an excellent buying experience, professional, honest and seasoned realtor, look no further. Chris Ess is your best choice.

I cannot speak more highly of someone than Chris! We met him through a friend and he spent a lot of time with us, aquatinting us with the area. Finding the right county, then city for us (we relocated from Florida to Georgia). We came up multiple times over 6 months and each time Chris would spend hours with us making sure we knew what made each place special and unique. He made excellent recommendations and worked hard for us as we selected a home and went through the buying process. If you need a straight forward person with phenomenal work ethic, kindness, and extensive knowledge, Chris is your man!!!!
