Fantastic experience: Cristie helped my military clients relocate from out of state. Her knowledge and expertise in military relocation moves made it so seamless for my people. Offering virtual closings and showings made it streamlined for them. Highly recommend as her communication is top notch. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: This was my wife and my second time working with Cristie. She was such a pleasure to work with when we bought our house a few years ago where we knew she had to be our realtor to sell. Well before listing the property, Cristie went above and beyond right away providing us as much information as possible and tips to make sure the property was ready to list. From there she worked her magic and masterfully marketed our property. Even through some unforeseen circumstances, Cristie did not waiver and instilled confidence throughout the entire process. No matter the time of day, she would go out of her way to answer any questions or concerns we may have had. Cristie goes above and beyond and customer service is hands down her best quality! It was a pleasure to work with her again and we highly recommend her for anyone that is looking for a realtor in the PNW/Whidbey Island area!

It was such an honor to work with you both for a second time! Helping a family transition from being a buyer to a successful seller is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. I truly appreciate your patience and trust as we navigated those 'unforeseen circumstances' together, staying calm and finding solutions is what I’m here for! Thank you for the high recommendation; it means the world to me. I hope you are settling in well in your next chapter!

Fantastic experience: We purchased a home with Christie in December of 2020. We were moving from VA to WA and did the entire purchase remotely. Christie is a phenomenal realtor that has her clients best interest in mind. I have purchased 4 homes overall, and Christie is hands down the best realtor I have experienced. I have had other realtors that felt like they would sell me a dirty shoe if I let them, but Christie truly will give her honest opinion if a property fits a buyer. We had her tour a home for us that was beautiful online, but Christie was quick to let us know she smelled mildew or mold upon entering the residence, even though it would have a made her a decent sized sale. She was always prompt, courteous, had great communication and has a wealth of knowledge of the area. We ended purchasing what I feel was the best fit, as well as the best value for our money we could find. 100% Recommend!

Fantastic experience: Cristie was amazing! She made the whole process super easy and stress-free. There was never any pressure to rush or look at homes we weren’t interested in. She was super patient and really listened to what we wanted. She kept us in the loop the entire time and was quick to set up tours, which we really appreciated. Everything felt smooth and well organized. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, highly recommend.

Jonathan Walsh Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie was instrumental in helping me purchase my home through the VA assumption process. She stayed on top of all updates and made the mountain of paperwork much more manageable, even when the lender was difficult to work with. Her dedication and expertise were invaluable throughout the entire process. Cristie is highly recommended and respected! She truly understands her customers' needs and goes above and beyond to ensure a positive experience.

Marcos Duarte Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie was my Realtor on my first home purchase in Washington State. She has now helped me sell that house and purchase another one. She is always on top of everything, which made it easier for me. Buying and selling a home at the same time can be stressful but she really helped minimize that. I would recommend her to anybody, and I will definitely work with her again in the future.

Emily Torrentez Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie was phenomenal! She went above and over the duties of a realtor to help us find the perfect house with a beautiful water view. She provided valuable information on the house building process back when we were considering building along with all of our other real estate/VA related questions. She was so patient with us over the two year period browsing period we took. When our back up offer went through unexpectedly while my husband was deployed she helped connect me with some short term tenants and has provided valuable references from loan officers, handymen and the like. She also provides real estate photography and has helped us in this regard as well. Thorough, professional, kind, knowledgeable(especially with military related!) and connected - We recommend her wholeheartedly!

Tom & Debbie Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: We cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was with Cristie! We were purchasing our home from someone who had rented it to us for 8 years. Unfortunately he was not a pleasant person and made things so difficult. We know for sure, that had Cristie not been our realtor, there is is no way the sale of our home would have gone through. She dealt with tears and stress from us and made sure we knew she was working hard to help this sale go through. We own our home because of Cristie! We loved all the people she put us in touch with to be able to close within 30 days. Her kindness and her generosity go above and beyond what would be considered normal and she is someone you want to be friends with from the first time you meet her. Thank you Cristie for all you do for everyone you meet!

Coach Ciera (Ciera Sunshine) Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie Arnold used her realty expertise to help us buy our dream home - with ideal terms! We couldn't be happier with the outcome! We felt confident because of her insights, support, & market knowledge that helped us navigate unique circumstances! From the initial steps to the final closing, Cristie stands by your side with a wealth of experience, lightning-fast communication & regular updates that keep you well-informed. Cristie gives you honest, helpful information, & she has your best interests at heart. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Cristie Arnold for your real estate needs; she is truly amazing!

Victor Munoz Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best of the Best! Remarkable home selling adventure. Cristie is top tier agent who sure does know her stuff. I cannot imagine having to work with any other agent than Cristie. I will always recommend her to everyone and anyone who is looking to sell or buy a home! Quick, easy and very informative process with her! Thank you Cristie!

Lauren Talley Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: We just bought our first home and Cristie was the reason! She used her knowledge of the local area and fellow realtors to negotiate our first offer ever, and we got it! We will be forever grateful to have had her advice and handholding through all hours during this first time experience.

Roman Briggs Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Working with Cristie was very easy! Frankness and honesty feature strongly in her style, and that is exactly what we needed. This was the first house we'd sold, and getting the facts of the matter straight from the beginning helped tremendously. Cristie and her team are incredibly responsive, and for most of the process I was measuring response times to texts and emails in minutes, sometimes hours, but never days. Even when there wasn't an answer to the question right away, something always came back almost immediately that someone was working on an answer. Most of the terminology went of our heads, and I appreciated Cristie's preference for stating things as briefly as possible first, and filling in where we asked her to. It made no assumptions about what we already knew and allowed us to get the full picture without feeling condescended. Cristie was careful throughout the process to speak in realistic terms. Paths and outcomes were always discussed as conditional, contingent, and as probabilities. This I appreciated because it promised nothing, and made statements which were voiced with confidence stand out. She never said she was sure until she was, and then she was right. Couldn't have asked for anyone more responsive or attentive, and we are absolutely thrilled with our experience. Thank you, Cristie!

Valerie Lartigue Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Cristie Arnold and Ciera for all their hard work in helping us sell our home and find our dream home! They both made sure this whole process was smooth for all involved and their communication with us every step of the way was excellent! Always available to answer questions and steer us in the right direction. Cristie even met with us on a Sunday to get the process started and she was a absolute joy to work with! Again thank you so much to you both!

Debbie Ramos Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: We appreciated Cristie's quick communication with us during all aspects of our transaction. She responded to every question and gave advice when asked. Everything was handled in a very professional manner. Will be doing business with her again.

Susan Ramos Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie and Ciera did an amazing job selling our two wooded lots quickly and over asking price. They were friendly, knowledgeable and readily available throughout the process. Our first meeting, she dropped everything to meet with us while we were in town. We thoroughly enjoyed having her and her assistant handle our sale.

Emma Mortensen Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: We had Christie and her assistant Ciera help us buy our first home and they were absolutely fantastic. They not only have extensive knowledge about the Whidbey Island market but they also have a long list of contacts for anything you might need during the home buying process (mortgage lenders, cleaners, etc). They were also very straightforward about what to expect from this housing market so that we could make a competitive offer on a house that suited our personal needs. They were very responsive and flexible with our schedule. These two ladies make a wonderful team and work really hard to give you the confidence you need going into a big decision like buying a house. Highly recommend!

Cristie Arnold

So happy that you felt confident in buying your first home with our support! I'm glad to have given you insights that informed your offer and allowed you to outshine the competition. It makes me happy you found a property that suits your needs. Thank you for your kind review. Hoping all is well for you and your family.

Elizabeth Wallin Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie was recommended to us by several people and I understand why! She was incredible to work with from start to finish. She made us feel more like friends than clients and made the entire process super easy. We highly recommend her for anyone and everyone, especially military!

You were so incredible to work with too, Elizabeth! Thank you for all of your engagement throughout the process. I am glad you felt friendship. Wishing you and your sweet family all the best.

Garnet Sprehe Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: With a market the way it was when we began our home buying adventure, we had to think outside of the box to get into a new home. We moved from McCleary to Oak Harbor and had to sell our house in McCleary before being able to buy one in Oak Harbor. She was our eyes and ears and extremely responsive and helpful. We easily sold our house in McCleary and needed a short-term rental in the Oak Harbor area so we could continue our search in person. Again, Cristie came through. When it came time to buy we had found a house for sale by owner and she helped everyone through the process. She will do whatever she can to help you seal the deal.

Cristie Arnold

Thanks, Garnet! I love that you call it a home buying adventure - what a great outlook. So grateful that all the pieces came together to get you to your home on Whidbey Island! Hope you are enjoying life here.

Mike Johnes Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Christie helped me sell a parcel of land, that had a few hurdles to overcome…She worked diligently and stayed in contact with up-dates on the progress. If I had any questions, she responded in a timely manner. Escrow went smoothly and closed within a short time. I would recommend Christie to anyone looking for a Professional Realtor who will do the extra leg work to make the sale happen…

Thanks for placing your trust in me to navigate those hurdles and get the desired outcome for your land sale. I'm happy to be of service. I appreciate your review! Hope things are going well for you, Mike!

Matthew Kane Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie helped us out with our home purchase every step of the way! Coming from out of state, she made every effort to find us homes as soon as they were available, and worked very hard and fast to lock in an offer. All the guidance she gave us led us to a successful, smooth, and easy purchase. Without a doubt, she was the best we could have asked for!

Cristie Arnold

It means a lot to hear how smooth and successful the home purchase was for you coming from out of state. Thanks so much for your review, Matthew! I'm grateful everything worked out for your lovely home and hope you are enjoying your time here.

Shirleon Benson Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: First time homebuyers, please come to Cristie and Ciara! They are phenomenal. One of the biggest issues we came across was the fact we were moving cross-country and couldn't do tours of homes in-person. Cristie's coworker, Ciara, was incredible at getting to the homes we were interested in - which Cristie set up almost as soon as we "liked" the home - and went around and took a VERY detailed video of the home. It felt like we were really there. Cristie also really helped us through the process of buying a home and helping us find what we liked. She didn't mind all the questions we had, instead answering them with such encouragement and resources. If we ever need another home in the area we are moving to, she'll be our first call!

Cristie Arnold
Cristie Arnold

Thank you, Shirleon! I am so glad that you felt encouragement from me and I could provide resources to help answer your questions - especially with a first-time home buying process. Glad to know the video tours gave you details for clarity and confidence about choosing your home from cross-country! I'm happy to be a support for you anytime.

Thomas Sharron Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: As first-time home buyers, we had a ton of questions and concerns going into the process. Cristie came recommended by one of our close friends, and she was phenomenal! We can't recommend her enough! Cristie walked us through each step along the way, and her videos on the fundamentals of home buying were incredibly helpful. She showed excellent knowledge of the area and what to expect for each prospective property. She and her team recorded in-depth video walkthroughs whenever we expressed interest in a potential home. We lived hundreds of miles away during the entire process, but Cristie made us feel like we truly had someone (an entire team, really) working on our behalf in WA. Cristie is incredibly patient, incredibly detail-oriented, and absolutely a joy to work with!

Cristie Arnold
Cristie Arnold

It was a joy to work with you too, Thomas! I am so glad that you felt so supported throughout your first home buying process with me and my assistant. I know it can be a leap of faith relocating from a distance, and glad to see it worked out nicely for you. I hope you have been enjoying Whidbey Island and that things are going smoothly.

Judy Tokstad Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie Is an amazing realtor. Our experience in trying to find just the right place on Whidbey Island has been supported by Cristie in a way that is seldom seen in todays market. She knows the market she gets the details and she supports her buyers. Oh, Don’t let me forget she’s got the patience of a saint. I would highly recommend Cristie if you were looking for some property on the island or if you are ready to sell.

Eric Bobadilla Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you are moving to Whidbey Island, or anywhere in the surrounding area and looking to rent or buy a home, you need to get in touch with Cristie Arnold ASAP! She is hands down the resident expert in this area and knows all the in and outs of the real estate process. I reached out to her while I was stationed overseas in Japan over 6 months before my family and I had to move to Washington. She was so quick to respond and answer every single question we had about the area and buying a house here. Fast forward to now and we just closed on a perfect home that met everything we were looking for and for an ideal price in today’s market. She negotiated and fought for us to get into a home before Christmas and pulled it off just in time. Honestly, I couldn’t be happier having met and worked with Cristie through the stressful process of getting my family a home. She made it so smooth and painless. She truly cares for her clients and goes the extra mile to find exactly what you’re looking for. Moving to Whidbey Island soon? Contact Cristie now!

Thank you for your kind review, Eric! It makes my heart happy that we got your perfect home just in time for the holiday! It was a joy to work with you and your family, so I'm extra appreciative of the positive outcome. Hope you have been enjoying life on Whidbey Island!

Mallory Harman Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough great things about Cristie. First thoughts are reliable, responsive, dedicated and hardworking. She helped us sell our home in Washington while one of us was there and one of Us was across the country. Her work was top notch and I felt she truly went the extra mile for us. Immediately after working a sale there, Cristie helped with all the paperwork and info we needed to pursue a new house. Although the process was stressful, she was there the entire time. Thanks Cristie! You are a class act.

NcatB Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie Arnold moved mountains to get me the home of my dreams. As an out of state buyer, I had to rely on Cristie’s knowledge and negotiating skills to complete the process for me. I got the location I was looking for, a beautiful home, and at my price point. Did I mention Cristie accomplished all this in about 3 months? I was always informed during the process and knew what to expect next. Cristie is a professional who understands the market and knows how to get results; she also has a heart of gold and went above and beyond to help me make my dreams come true. Truly a remarkable lady. If you are looking for a real estate agent, this lady is top notch.

Austin Bieniawski Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was highly professional and helpful. She truly went above and beyond our expectation in making recommendations about a loan officer, sending us comprehensive videos of the properties we were considering, and answering the continuous stream of questions we had as first time homebuyers. We would happily work with her again or recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Whidbey Island area.

Erin Robinson Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: My husband & I have moved 5 times in the last 20 years. Obviously, we've dealt with many realtors both on the buying and selling side. I have to say that Cristie is by far the BEST realtor we've ever worked with!!! To make matters more complicated this time, we were selling our house while living out of state. Cristie’s professionalism, personality, attention to detail, responsiveness and her ability to close the deal was Outstanding!!! She makes you feel as if you are her only client!!! If you are buying or selling a home, do yourselves a favor and hire Cristie Arnold!!!

Ciera Sunshine Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie Arnold works from her heart to give people the best outcomes! She makes cooperative transactions a top priority and works amicably with all parties. Cristie works around the clock to be available to help others. She is a leader for quality work and is a bold advocate for Childhood Cancer Awareness, raising donations for multiple organizations and contributing to Children's Miracle Network with every sale. She has long been rallying support for this important cause and was a major contributor to make our REMAX location become a Miracle office! She is a joy to work with and shows up authentically.

Jared Feig Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We refer to Cristie as “The Godmother of Whidbey Island (and surrounding areas).” With no hesitation or exaggeration, Cristie is the greatest real estate agent of all time. We worked with her during our move from Jacksonville, FL, to Whidbey (i.e. Cross country move). She is incredibly responsive, always has an answer for everything, and helped shepherd us through the challenging VA loan process. In addition, Cristie helped us stay within budget in an incredibly difficult market for buyers. She stayed patient and helped us put in multiple offers, eventually leading to success. It is important to also acknowledge the fact that Cristie is an incredible community member as well. She helps raise thousands of dollars every year for childhood cancer research. She supports incoming military members and their families to the Whidbey Island area (i.e. a library of 40+ documents ranging from “Best Handyman Services in the Area, to “Outdoor Water Activities,” to “Whidbey School System Explained”). It’s really simple: get yourself a realtor who is great at their job, an amazing person, and just an all-around pleasure to work with. Call Cristie!

Marcelle Skiff Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie Arnold was great. We told her the price range we were looking at and she took the time to find places to loo at and told us the pluses and minuses of each location. She didn’t try and sell us above what we felt we could afford which was nice

Tegan Fronc Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Where do I begin? Cristie is AMAZING!!! Our adventure started as soon as my husband received his Military orders to NASWI. I immediately knew we would want to be purchasing a home on the Island and started searching Facebook/Google frantically for a Realtor, that is when I came across Cristie! From start to finish Cristie has gone above and beyond for us. My husband and I were living in Japan while going through this home buying process, not to mention this is the first home we have bought, so there were many questions we had! I could not believe we were buying a home without ever stepping foot inside of it but Cristie made me feel so comfortable it felt like I had known her for years! Cristie always sent us videos when we asked of multiple homes, she went out of her way to measure areas, and would talk to me for hours on the phone! In this crazy market Cristie was very insightful and helped us navigate how to make a strong offer on our home and without her guidance there is no way we would ownour home right now! I would recommend Cristie to anyone who is looking for a HONEST and RELIABLE Realtor who truly cares about you and your families next home!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Tegan! I'm so happy to have been of service to help you and your husband! It's all worth it that we found your lovely home ready for when you made it back to the states. Now we get to share fresh herbs & fruit with each other - I love it!

Thomas Davis Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie was absolutely amazing during the home buying process in Whidbey Island. This was my wife and I's first time buying remotely and she made it incredibly easy and comfortable. She is very honest about the area and more importantly very thorough when walking through homes with you. Most importantly she does not try and pressure into buying anything and lets you analyze and make your own decisions. Cristie is very friendly, thorough and professional and there is no other person we would recommend to guide you through searching and buying a home, she is dependable, always available and always putting your needs first! Hire her today!

Tyler B Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We were so lucky to find Cristie Arnold as our realtor. After having our first conversation with her where we explained our situation about wanting to buy a house we decided to ask her to be our Realtor. Three months went by before we started to make a move and not once did she try and pull us in before we were ready. During the entire process, she was very patient with us as first-time homebuyers and was available at any time to answer ANY questions that she was capable of answering. She has a treasure trove of valuable information. Her Facebook group has an entire homebuyers guide of power points and links with useful information that we could access at any time for free that made the process so much smoother for us! Having only a few days to spend in Whidbey Island to house hunt in person, Cristie practically cleared her schedule to make time to show us the homes. And during the process, she was never pushy, always patient. Our search didn’t end during that trip and we soon found out that the marketplace in Whidbey Island was very competitive. Cristie was such a hard worker, she always found time in her busy life for us. We were afraid that moving cross-country during the pandemic would be a nearly impossible task. Cristie always maintained a positive and reassuring attitude that went miles for our nerves. We trusted her to do video tours of homes that we never stepped foot in and we are glad we did. It turned out to be a totally positive experience and we are so happy we went through the home buying process when we did. Cristie is a trustworthy, honest person, and you can tell she cares about her clients and the community as a whole. Houses in the area are hard to win but she guided us into the perfect home and we landed right on budget. Thank you Cristie for doing the job of a top-notch realtor and for helping us find our dream home! Cristie is a NINJA: Natural born realtor. Interested in people’s wellbeing Not Pushy Joyful presence Active and hard worker

Sylvia Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We bought our first home! Have nothing but great things to say about Cristie's service. She answered all our questions and was always minutes from responding. She is transparent throughout the whole process and keeps you steps ahead of what's next on your to do list. She had reccomendations for who to work with and her references were nothing less of what she claimed. As a bonus, they all worked locally too, helping us close sooner. Cristie continued to meet our needs and never pushed any home on us if we didn't love it. She is AMAZING. You'd be missing out if you went with any other realtor.

Awww, thanks so much Sylvia! :) Congratulations on your first home! I'm thankful to have been able to offer you guidance along the way to meet your needs, especially as first-time homebuyers. Wishing you well!

Mac Glassford Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: As a first time home buyer, I appreciated Cristie’s responsiveness and candidness. While not expected but appreciated, she was available for questions even during Thanksgiving. Buying in a competitive market can be quite discouraging after placing several offers, but Cristie was patient with me, and we kept going. Impartial with her advice, she ensured I was buying MY home—not just a house. Her guidance is what led me to successfully close on a home (on time!) in such a market during the December holidays. I would be happy to recommend her to my family and friends.

Mark Lascara Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie went above and beyond to help my family and me navigate buying a house sight-unseen in the middle of a pandemic. Her honesty, communication, and feedback left us both satisfied and confident we were making the right decisions. When the inspection turned up a few issues, she put in the work to ensure we were taken care of and not footing the bill for equipment that should have been replaced. What I appreciate most about Cristie is her network. When I asked if she had any recommendations for a loan officer, she provided me with the best one I've ever had. When I asked her for any local insurance companies she has had good experiences with, I hired the best insurance company I've ever had, the list goes on. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Cristie, I wish she was licensed everywhere!

Fantastic experience: Cristie was absolutely amazing in helping me buy my first home. I thought it was going to be impossible at first since I was on deployment; but she made it easy especially with how tough the market is right now to buy a home. She really cares about finding the right home for you. She was there every step of the the way to help me with the process. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house.

Fantastic experience: Cristie was the absolute best! She was always one text/phone call away if I needed anything in regards to selling my home. Cristie made the selling process so easy and painless. Her ability to make a reputable recommendation for anything that I needed done, prior to selling my home, was flawless. 10/10 would recommend Cristie to anyone looking to sell their home.

Fantastic experience: After dealing with realtors ghosting me and I was living out of state, I found Cristie. Cristie started helping us a few months ago while we were all the way in Texas. She has been the best realtor I have ever dealt with and she got us our dream home/land! We only met her 2 days before closing and It felt like I had been working with someone I know and trust. She is very trustworthy, honest, and persistent. I highly recommend her.

Nicole Ybarra Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough positive things about Cristie! We faced the very daunting task of purchasing a home on the opposite side of the country during a global pandemic and Cristie rose to the challenge no matter what curve ball was thrown our way. Because of the relationship that we forged early on, I placed my complete trust in her and we decided to purchase a home we had never seen in person based off her virtual tours and insight. She worked tirelessly to ensure that we were informed, well represented and happy throughout the process. She has a huge network of mortgage lenders, home inspectors, and interior designers that I leveraged, saving me time and energy by not having to research all these people. You will never meet a realtor that will work harder for you! Thank you, Cristie for helping us to find our dream home!

Hailey Christian Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie was on point all the time! The market was limited and the good things that came up sold fast! Cristie was always scouring the listings looking for a house for us! We’re a military family and were moving from Ca, so we weren’t going to be able to see the house before we put in our offer. She went and saw the house and sent us a video walk through the day the house was listed. Her videos are honest and very helpful. She found the perfect house for us and got our offer in fast. As first time home buyers, I could not have asked for a better experience and we could not have done it without Cristie!

Cristie Arnold
Cristie Arnold

Thank you for placing your trust in me to serve you as someone from a fellow military family! I'm grateful to have been part of your first time home-buying experience, Hailey. I hope you have been enjoying your time here on Whidbey! Wishing you and your family well.

Fantastic experience: Cristie is AWESOME to work with!? She truly enjoys her job and goes above and beyond for her clients. She won't just sell you any house, she makes sure it's what YOU want! If I could give her 20 stars, I easily would.

Thank you very much, Che'la for your review (and all the stars!). I definitely enjoyed helping you get the home you want. I hope you have been doing well.

Natalia Munoz Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Where to start. We were first time buyers, knowing nothing about anything. Brand spanking new to the Whidbey Island area and military (horrible time constraints). We needed a house and we needed it ASAP. Cristie came along and wow did we chose the perfect person for this moment in our life. She was there by our side 24/7, I mean non-stop helping us on choosing the right place for the right price. Whenever we hit a road block, Cristie came to the rescue and kept us moving! When we told her which house we wanted she made it her number one priority for us to put a hard to beat offer. She was basically holding our hand throughout the whole process because we had no idea what we were doing as first time home buyers. She never left us hanging on questions we had and if she didn’t have the answer right away she had plenty of trust worthy resources to get us that answer. If we were to purchase another house in the future here, 100 percent would have Cristie right by our side. Honestly, you can read tons of reviews of other realtors and I’m sure you will find similar comments about how great they are but there is no one like Cristie who can just make you smile.

Fantastic experience: Cristie is excellent at what she does. From the general duties of a Real Estate Agent, to thinking of all the extras that make your transition to your new home smooth, especially when you're coming from out of state. Whatever you need, Cristie is on it! She's the best!

Nancy Eaton Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: "Cristie has been the ultimate professional throughout the whole process. Clearly this is her calling! Being a person who delights in engaging with her clients along with understanding the needs of those who are looking for their forever home. Or maybe it's just an investment property? Either way she will give her all! 110% Very knowledgeable on local Washington real estate properties. Her research on our needs/wants were spot on. She literally/figuratively found us a property that suits all of our dreams! With room to grow!! A beautiful home in the West Beach/Oak Harbor area." Sincerely, Nancy Eaton

Palu Korman Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I think of Cristie Arnold I think of the hardest working realtor on Whidbey Island. She goes the extra mile in everything she does. I had my consultation with her in January to sell my house and COVID-19 hit and she was extremely flexible with my situation (military). We met back up in April and she proposed a 360 virtual tour, which she did herself. Her 360 tour and wonderful pictures got my house under contract within 24 hours. During the whole process she was very responsive in every question I had, and kept me up to date on every set with the. If I could pack her up and make her my realtor in VA I wouldn’t hesitate. You don’t find many people like her anymore. If you want to sell or buy she is the best fit for you I promise.

Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend Cristie Arnold. She is a rockstar! She helped us buy our home in Oak Harbor and it was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. She was always available to show us houses, which is super important in this seller's market. She was honest and has a "no pressure" approach. You can't go wrong with her.

Melissa Pickett Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recommend agent shopping to find the right one that meets YOUR needs and not the first google searched name. So glad I found Cristie!! My experience with Cristie Arnold was top notch! I couldn't have asked for a better agent. From the beginning when I was agent shopping, she presented herself friendly, knowledgable, honest and a community contributor. She was hands on the whole time and had superb communication. I always received fast responses no matter the day or time. Made me feel like I was her only customer, which was special since I was selling my house on my own. She never complained about all the open houses she did. She upheld her integrity the whole time, while other agents did not. I cannot express my gratitude for all her help. I highly recommend Cristie!! She definitely goes above and beyond todays agent standards. I would have her sell my house again and again and again.

Fantastic experience: She is amazing and helped me find the right home in less than a month. This market moves so fast and she didn’t miss a beat. Even now, after the home purchase, she is helping me find the right folks for home changes. Truly amazing experience! I’m thankful to have her on my side and I’m thankful she found my first home ever!

Julianne Drake Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie was AMAZING. In June, my husband and I were living in Florida and got orders to move to Whidbey Island. Even before we officially selected Cristie as our realtor, she was extremely responsive and helpful, offering to check out houses in person for us. We were unable to make a trip out to Washington prior to buying our home, so Cristie made it her priority to advocate for us, keep us in the loop, and give us as much information as possible. She was always available when we wanted to talk and was honest and transparent throughout the entire process. She has a wonderful, fun personality and made our first home buying experience an absolute pleasure. Thank you, Cristie!

Cindy Palmer Published on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cristie is, hands down, the best realtor on Whidbey Island. The market here is extremely fast. Houses fly off the market in as little as a day, and that seems to be the norm. It's unlike any market that we've dealt with in the past. You need to have a realtor that is on top of the market listings, and knows their stuff, but doesn't push you to settle on something that you don't want, and doesn't push you to spend more than what your budget is (I *HATE* that). Also one that is great at communicating and makes you feel like you're their only client. If this is what you're looking for, then Cristie is the one for you! Cristie was able to meet us within the hour on new listings, which actually is what got us our house that we closed on less than a month ago. She's nice, personable, knowledgeable, and genuine. She's also very receptive and was able to figure out exactly what we were looking for, even though we weren't sure ourselves. I'm a firm believer that she had our best interest at heart, and I can't say that I've ever had a realtor that even come close to comparing to her, and this is not our first home purchase.
