What Clients Are Saying

  • Bride and groom standing close together under a wedding veil with their eyes closed and foreheads touching during their wedding.

    "Christa, We're not sure where to begin to say thank you... Thank you both for being there for us throughout this process, for advocating for us, for your patience with us newbies, and for your dedication. We are lucky to have met you and we firmly believe that everything happens for a reason. Thank you for making this crazy dream of ours possible. With much gratitude and endless appreciation"

    — K & C

  • A man in a business suit and sunglasses stands on a sidewalk, looking at his phone, with cars and tall buildings in the background.

    “New York is full of brokers looking to make a quick buck off a transaction. Christa is the exact opposite: she understands the magnitude of the decision to buy or sell an apartment, makes herself available at all times to answer any questions you might have, and provides input that is in your long-term best interests. I've now bought & sold with Christa and have recommended her to multiple friends.”

    — JC

  • A middle-aged man wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and light-colored striped tie, standing in front of a brick wall.

    “My wife and I decided to purchase a condominium in Tribeca. Christa could not have been more helpful, efficient, or responsive. She was so helpful pointing out various aspects, positive and negative. Most importantly, she understood our circumstances, goals, and parameters. She worked proactively with our attorney & with the seller’s agent during the entire process. She was straightforward, transparent, and her wonderful energetic personality made her a pleasure to deal with. Christa just went over and above what we have experienced with other agents in prior real estate transactions. We highly recommend Christa and will happily use her again.”

    — CEO of Fortune 500 company

  • Woman in a red suit sitting on grass outdoors, pointing toward the camera with a serious expression.

    “Christa is the best partner when trying to find an apartment in the city - I recently worked with her when purchasing my new home in the UWS, and she was invaluable from beginning to end. She took the time to understand what I was looking for and really invested in trying to find the right fit; she was always on top of scheduling viewings and gave honest thoughts on each apartment. Christa truly goes the extra mile in every aspect and her passion is evident.”

    — RM

  • Blurred couple dressed in wedding attire, with the man holding flowers, seen through large fern leaves.

    “Christa has all you can ask for in a real estate professional. We were purchasing our first home in the US and she guided us from the beginning to the end. Not only did she "get it done", she got it done excellently with grace & love. I came across many real estate professionals over the years in several countries (US, Hong Kong, Australia and China) and I would put Christa at the top.”

    — Lisa

  • A man in a dark suit and white shirt standing indoors against a wall with framed certificates.

    “Christa is at the top of her profession. She is always available!! no matter what time zone I was in, she was answering her phone. Christa had excellent referrals and had an incredible amount of patience with 1st time NYC buyers. She was there for us after the sale answering questions. Christa Chi is our NYC broker for life!!”

    — CJ

  • A young woman with blonde hair wearing a black turtleneck and blazer, standing against a dark gray background.

    After more than several trips to NYC, I decided to inquire about buying a property. Christa arranged for us to see several properties on short notice. She was never “pushy” or “annoying”, instead she was upbeat and very professional. We are out of town buyers so viewing properties was not always easy. In the end we successfully bought the perfect property for us but only because Christa Chi persevered on our behalf. With Christa Chi as your agent/representative you too will not only have a positive experience but a successful one.

    — SVD

  • A young man and woman lean against a concrete wall in sunlight, with the man on the left with curly hair and dressed in black, and the woman on the right with blonde hair, wearing a patterned shawl and black top, both looking at the camera.

    “Finding a knowledgeable, passionate agent who is also honest is about as hard as finding the right apartment in NYC. Christa was patient and thoughtful in listening to our needs and priorities. She wasn't afraid to challenge us and ensure we were making an informed decision in all aspects from neighborhood, price, potential appreciation, and even renovation advice. We felt she always had our best interest in mind and genuinely wanted to see us find the right unit. We've been recommending her to everyone we know since.”

    — RF

  • A man in a gray checkered suit with a pink rose boutonniere is looking to the left, standing indoors with another man in a white shirt and bow tie in the background.

    “The one thing that separates Christa from the rest of the market is her thoroughness in providing information so that you can make a good decision. If she knows you only want a condo, she won't try to sell you a co-op. She listens and responds. Christa genuinely desires for you to get what you want and she will not stop searching for your perfect property. Just like how you don't want to settle for less, she doesn't either.”

    — SV

  • A man and woman walking hand-in-hand on a rooftop parking garage with tall city buildings in the background, smiling and looking at each other.

    “Christa was instrumental in our home search and we are forever grateful to her that we found our dream apartment. We serendipitously met Christa at a time when we were frustrated, feeling despondent and alone in the process. Christa was knowledgeable, patient, attentive and beyond resourceful. She found us a home that was about to go to market, was able to get us in before anyone else, and then skillfully negotiated the deal quickly and efficienly. We trust Christa implicitly and can't recommend her and her team enough!”

    — LT

  • Smiling young man and woman standing close together outdoors in front of a historic monument with stairs and other people in the background, on a cloudy day.

    “We needed help finding an apartment in a neighborhood that had a very limited supply, and Christa quickly found us a perfect spot within weeks. She helped us through the entire process of closing—helping us to find a great mortgage lender, attorney, and contractor. The board approval took less than a week. She negotiated our price point (15% below the asking), responded to texts and emails immediately, and was very honest and easy to work with. She went above and beyond to help us find the best place within our challenging criteria. I highly recommend Christa!”
