Gary Mello is a easy to get along with guy who makes the buying process simple and effortless. Highly recommend using him as your realtor to find u your next home or sell your existing one! Definatley made my buying process easy and he took care of everything. Thanks again.
Superb service! Local knowledge extremely helpful in making a decision to where to buy a home with the most investment value. Communication and response time timely and effective. Very hands-on interactions with 3E Realty & Loans.
First of all I would like to thank all of the Employees at E3 Reality & Loans, they were on point with everything every step of the way when purchasing my home. I initially wanted to see if I could get pre-approved and the next thing I know I am looking at houses a week later. We found a beautiful home in Lodi, CA on our first trip out to look at houses and I fell In love. We put in an offer and it got accepted almost immediately. We jumped a few hurdles and before I knew it I was a home owner. I could not have done this with out the team at E3. I panicked many time, but Chris and Mari reassured me every time that aEURoeWe got this,aEUR? and we did get it. Mari and Chris are another breed when it come to getting you into your house. I am forever grateful for there service, dedication, honesty and commitment to their customers. Thank you, guys.
Chris and his team at E3 made our first home buying experience a breeze. He was available to us any time of day which worked well with my busy schedule. His honesty and expertise made us feel confident in our home buying experience. I will be referring him to all my friends and family. Thank you Chris for helping us find our home.
Awesome person to work with. He saved the day when we needed a new realtor and made our lives super easy! He and his team are knowledgeable and helpful. They helped us find a home we loved by our deadline.
After about a month of searching for a house with a realtor outside of E3 and with multiple rejected offers and no communication, we decided to move to E3 and you are more than impressed with the level of service that was provided by Nick Smith and Chris Ristau.We had a strict deadline to move out of a current lease and Nick was able to work with our needs to get us a house we were extremely interested in.Do not hesitate to work with E3 as Im sure you will also have the same great experience.
Chris Ristau and his team at E3 Realty are amazing at what they do! Chris was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process of buying our first home. From the many different houses we went to see and the offers we had put in prior to finding our home, Chris was very patient and did everything he could to help us find exactly what we were looking for that was within our budget. Chris also secured our loan with the best interest rate we could get which was the icing on the cake! I would highly recommend Chris Ristau to anyone looking to buy or sell their home as he is very knowledgeable and gets the job done!
Chris is the ultimate professional. From the time we met to the closing he kept us up to date and communicated clearly and answered every question with clarity and transparency. He is a positive person who helped us through challenging decisions. He deserves the 5 star rating as an exceptional realtor.
Chris is a true professional that has integrity and did a great job keeping us informed. For me it was important that Chris kept us up to date with anything needed or any changes. I was really impressed that he never tried to pursuade us in any one direction but instead kept us in the loop of all different options and possibilities. He made the process easy and smooth but also made sure he had everything ahead of time so there were no hiccups. Thank you Chris for helping us make the right decision and working so diligently to process everything so quickly.
The five stars speak for themselves. Chris is the BEST at what he does. Caring and thoughtful individual with tons of experience which helps with the stress levels people go through when buying or refinancing loans. He makes it seems to effortless. Thank you Chris Ristau! Your the BEST!!
I could not be anymore satisfied with Chris' work. Purchasing my first home was one of the most stressful things I have ever encountered, yet Chris was very helpful, understanding and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. There was a time when I thought this would not be possible but Chris helped me find the perfect home at the perfect time for my family. I will definitely be recommending him to all of my friends looking to purchase!
Chris was outstanding. He was an amazing broker, knowledge is power, and this guy knows his stuff. We could have not asked for anyone better. Promp to reply to our messages and needs. Explained everything really well. VERY HAPPY
Chris Ristau is the best Realtor agent we could have asked for. He made home buying process less stressful by being with us step by step. Chris answered any and every question we had, and I could call him anytime I wanted. I would use Chris and his company over and over. I will recommend him to all my friends and family. It was a pleasure doing business with such caring people. We were treated with respect at all times. Appreciate everything you did for us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If you are looking for a broker, Chris Ristau is your guy. He's a family man that knows his stuff. Chris helped us when we purchased our first home 2 years ago and he helped us sell it now that our family has grown too big for that home. Not only did he make the selling process easy but he helped us get 80k over list price!! He does an amazing job of understanding and getting to know our family and our schedules. At this time we have a 2 year old and a child due next month and i work nights and my husband works days. Chris makes sure to schedule meetings around our sleep schedules and gives us enough notice to make things happen. One thing we love about Chris is that he is very easy to talk to and makes himself fully available to us at any time through text, email, and phone. Back when we purchased our first home we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into but Chris made confusing paperwork easy for us to understand by going over every page with us and never asking us to sign something we didn't understand. We recommended Chris Ristau to my sister when she purchased her first home and she has nothing but positive things to say about him as well. We look forward to working with Chris in purchasing our second home for a great price.
I was referred to Chris after extensive shopping for a loan for a re-finance of my home. I am glad that I went through Chris and his brokerage firm. He was able to compete with all other loan agents, was extremely friendly, and made my whole experience comfortable. This is my third time working with a professional regarding home loans and I can assure you Chris is a great professional. Home purchases, re-finances, and most loan related changes can be difficult and time consuming if the wrong person is hired to assist, Chris was phenomenal with his services, I felt like very little time was dedicated to this process, the documents were very well explained, and most importantly Chris was very patient with me. Thank you Chris and I will be back in the future for more business.
Chris was a joy to work with, he always had an answer to our questions and was very easy to get a hold of anytime we needed. He worked with us to find the best options for our situation and we felt that he put forward a lot of work and time into our purchase. We never felt like we were just another client. We will definitely be repeat customers!
Chris was very helpful. He knows what he is doing! He has a great attitude, respectful, and he is very enthusiastic in getting things done fast and accurate.
Chris is AMAZING. He works hard for his clients, makes himself available pretty much anytime. We were buying a house and had some unique situations pop up and had a very difficult time with the seller and Chris handled the situation like a champ! We couldn't have done it without him and his hard work and dedication. I would definitely recommend Chris to family and friends, and will use him again for sure when we either refinance or buy a new house.
I highly recommend ChrIs Ristau for anyone who is in need of a home loan or refinance. Chris was extremely professional, patient and attentive to my family's needs. He provided thorough explanations of all steps involved in the home financing process, including advising on how to best reduce my monthly payment. I was able to reach Chris at all times including nights and weekends which is very convenient for people who have a busy schedule. If you're looking for someone to make the loan process as quick, easy, and painless as possible, Chris is your guy!
Chris Ristua is a professional real estate expert. We were debating between several options when we decided to list our property for sale. My wife and I (even our kids loved him) chose Chris to represent us not only because he is experienced, energetic, professional, and hard working, but because he is always there with you every step of the day. One of the greatest things about him is that they have an awesome marketing strategy, and they offer a 3D virtual tour which is a convenient way to present you property. Another great thing about Chris is that he has expertise in lending/ mortgage, so he always finds a solution that is most beneficial for you. Chris and One80 Realty team makes sure to look out for your best interest at all times. Because Chris has knowledge on selling/buying and lending, he is my "go-to guy" from now onwards. I highly recommended Chris Ristau and One80 Realty to everyone....keep on Rocking!!!
We met Chris at an open house, which had been our primary way of looking at homes for close to year as no agent we met seemed to really understand our needs and situation or want to deal with our situation. Chris got it right away and was eager to help. His "can do" attitude is awesome, as in lets see what we can do, what our options are and go from there vs what do you want to do and later a pat answer of yes or no. Chris talked us through ALL our options not just the ones we thought of. As both mortgage broker and real estate agent, working with Chris streamlined a process that might have otherwise been less smooth given our situation of not being able to sell our prior home and make it a rental but still wanting/needing to move to a home that much better met our needs after 10 years. Chris was amazing in both the negotiations with the seller (we got so much more than we expected to get in the current market) and with the dealings with the lender. One80Realty's relationship with the banks they work with makes the process very smooth and not at all cumbersome as Chris is able to speak frankly with them and not upset them! In the end we got the loan we needed at a rate and monthly payment that works very well for our finances. As a 15 year veteran of the relocation industry, having worked with hundreds of agents buying and selling real estate, working with Chris was amazing. He definitely ranks in the top tier of agents and provided exceptional service for us.
Great realtor! I highly recommend him! He really helped me through the process and understood my need to get things done quickly! Very communicative and knowledgeable!
Chris is someone that we would do business with over and over again. During the search/process for the purchase of our new home, Chris was very knowledgable, professional, very responsive and reliable! I had heard from other first time buyers how stressful buying a home could be, but Chris made it so easy and stress free for us. We definitely made it hard for him as both my husband and I were looking for different types of homes. Chris meat both of our needs and he found us the perfect home! But Chris didn't stop there, months after our purchase he checked in to make sure we were happy and at ease. He assisted us in getting in contact with our home insurance to fix our AC. He understood that buying our first home is a life changing and he made sure we got what we were looking for in price and needs. He negotiated and got us a great purchase. I would give him 10 stars if I could. We have no regrets and we are so happy to be in our new home to enjoy with our growing family. We are so glad we got to work with Chris!
