Christopher Townson-RE/MAX Associates

Top notch agent. We utilized Chris to sell our home in RSF, help us with finding a storage facility, find our new house in LJ. Each detail was flawless (and required a great deal of work on his part). Our house sold in approximately 1 month for our asking price. I (obviously) dont write a lot of reviews. Looking at other commentaries regarding this agent pushed me to do so. I put my absolute trust in Chris and he came through in all occasions.

I found out about Chris through my mom had purchased a home with him a few years ago. She got a killer deal and is in love with her house. She said Chris made everything easy so I decided to go with him.
This is my first house purchase so I was really nervous about the whole process. Chris is really patient with me and answered every question thoroughly and made it simple for me to understand.
He took time to figure out what exactly I wanted and didn’t pressure me to make an offer on homes that really were not what I wanted. He even referred me to a lender, David Wright,
who did the same thing. Both of these guys answered my questions quickly via email or phone and are super easy to get a hold of.
I’m very happy with my decision to use Chris as my agent. When I’m ready to upgrade from the starter home, he will be my first call.

If you want an agent that is difficult and DISHONEST with a foul attitude and ugly disposition, this is the guy for you! After an extremely frustrating year of looking for homes, we finally found a house we loved. Unfortunately, this dishonorable prick happened to be the listing agent on the home we wanted. The house was not up to code, but we bid on it anyway as we have experience renovating. After much stalling and stringing us along for weeks, we finally thought we had come to an agreement. We thought this to be true because he sent us an e-​mail confirming the price we offered. Later he recanted and said, «Oops, my mistake. I mis-​typed». He made a hard year for us even harder by f — ing us over on this deal. There’s absolutely no doubt in my mind he lied about the typo– I mean, what kind of agent makes THAT kind of mistake? An incompetent one at best! Because of him we wasted time, probably never really had a chance at that house, and we are STILL looking. I will bend anyone’s ear who will listen to steer as far away from this douche as possible unless you want him to make your «living the dream» a living nightmare. I WISH I COULD POST THE ZERO STAR REVIEW THIS JERK SO RIGHTFULLY DESERVES!

I began looking for my first California home with about zero knowledge of how the process worked. Chris and his team went quickly to work. After looking through many homes in the location I desired, one came on the market at 8am. PERFECT. Chris worked feverishly to get in my bid asap. By noon I was bidding against 6 other bidders. By 5pm it is was getting close. The next morning the owners had accepted my bid. Thank you Chris. From that point on it was smooth sailing. Escrow, paperwork and consistent communication of the details. Thanks for the smooth ride.

Just closed escrow on my new home and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and my realtor Chris Townson. Chris’ many years in the business was put into play from negotiating the purchase price to crossing every «t» and dotting every «i» of the deal. Going through the escrow process can be overwhelming but Chris had my back every step of the way. Thank you Chris for your sense of urgency and being on it to get my deal done.

I fired Chris because he is lazy, arrogant and uninformed about the real estate market. Needless to say, I purchased my home with another agent.

Chris made it happen for me!!! I was looking to make my first home purchase and had limited knowledge of the different neighborhoods. Chris took my requirement list and quickly narrowed down the areas of town which would work best. I had an excellent supply of listings to review and viewing the home options was smooth and easy
Before I hired Chris I asked a lot of questions about his background, approach, and opinions on the market. Chris answered them all with great insight and deep industry knowledge. I wanted someone I could trust and get
along with. Chris turned out to be very professional, a lot of fun to work with and made this major life decision much less stressful.
I will certainly be a repeat customer and have confidently referred him to friends of mine.

My experience with Chris was exactly the same as Heidi’s! My story mirrors hers in almost every single detail. From the get-​go this guy made every step of the home buying process as difficult and painful as possible. He turned the experience of buying a home from what should be a joyful and exciting time to one of frustration and stress. Every email and conversation along the way was rude, negative and laced with a threat of «or else I am pulling the plug on this deal». He conducts business without one ounce of respect for the buyer and throws all professionalism out the window. I too ended up with a beautiful house that I love but I cant say one single positive thing about Chris. He must be one miserable human being.

Where to begin… This guy was a huge jerk & tool from day 1. He was the selling agent on our home we just closed on, a bank foreclosure that had been on the market for quite some time. He was very rude & negative about every little hiccup in the process. Our awesome buying agent & loan officer said in all their years of experience they had never come across such a prick. He tried to push us out of escrow & take our money at least 3 times for circumstances out of our control. It all worked out in the end & we love our home, but my husband and I and our agent all lost sleep & got a few grey hairs because this guy was so difficult to work with. He must really hate his job to treat people the way he does, its just not necessary. So if you see he is the selling agent on a potential house, you better be 110% committed and in love with it or he’s probably not worth your time and headache. And please, stay away from using him as a buying agent.
