It will be impossible for me to say enough good things about Christina, but I'm here to give it a try. Let me say right away, though, that she is hands-down the best realtor we have ever encountered, and working with her was such a joy.Because of the pandemic and the long distance nature of our move, we only had one weekend to find a home in New Jersey. Christina worked with me online to develop a list of NINE houses, all of which we visited in one day. Not only did we see all of these houses in one day, but Christina timed the day with such precision, we only had one 15-minute delay...perfect for a delicious cup of coffee at a delightful local shop!My husband and I had favorited a huge variety of homes that we wanted to look at, and Christina indulged us on every one of those, but she also knew us better than we knew ourselves, and inserted several homes into the search that were a much better fit (including the one I'm sitting in right now). We would have been so lost without her recommendations and knowledge of the area.Throughout the entire day (and it was a long day) Christina offered advice about homes, knowledge about each town, scenic routes to enjoy, and just really excellent company. In retrospect, I don't know how Christina managed to give us 100% of her attention for eight straight hours that day...but she did! And it's a day we will never forget. We had a blast.Once we chose our favorite home, Christina helped us negotiate for the price we wanted. She also helped us put together a great team for completing the sale. She held my hand through the entire inspection process (she knows so much about houses!), and helped us navigate a slightly tricky closing. Throughout all of this, she was incredibly responsive, supportive, kind, and such a bright spot in our lives.But Christina didn't stop working when the sale closed. She continues to give us invaluable advice about maintenance, local attractions, good veterinarians, and even where to find an excellent chicken pot pie! Christina's body of knowledge about this area is truly mind-blowing.So many things about our move could have gone wrong given our limited knowledge and time. Instead, everything went nearly perfectly and we are so happy here. There's no doubt in our minds about why things went so well.Christina is an extremely nice person and also a stunningly skilled professional. This mix is so rare and so wonderful. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is the best of the best--our gold standard. Thank you Christina! You are always welcome here. :)
Christina Phillips has helped me THREE times in the last two years. I had the good fortune of using her services to sell my primary home (She had a very interested couple in mind before my house was even listed ! And, after a three party bidding war this couple purchased my home hassle free in the summer of 2017). In addition that very same summer she patiently, very patiently took me on many tours of homes so that I could feel completely comfortable before I placed a bid to purchase. I eventually closed on a home in a picture perfect location in downtown Princeton.Fast forward to the summer of 2019, and who did I use to sell my rental property in Princeton? Of course I once again used Christina. She quickly brought three buyers to the negotiating table, and helped me settle on the eventual purchaser. Again, it was a hassle free experience with a truly motivated buyer. I could not be any happier with her patience, positive attitude, and in depth knowledge of the real estate market !!W.L.

Christina was fabulous! Even though we kept changing our minds about what type of property we were looking for, she always stuck with us and changed gears. She often went out of her way to make appointments to show us properties. We finally settled on purchasing a townhouse, and she facilitated all the inspections etc. Unfortunately the sale fell through for reasons beyond her control, so we stayed in our current home for the time being.
Christina was an invaluable resource as we searched for what would become our first home. She knows the area well, provided us with insight about the market and patiently showed us numerous options over the course of several months. She was also very responsive to questions and gave us plenty of good advice during what is a complicated process from making an offer to closing on the property, including helping us find a good lawyer, a house inspector and local contractors for work that was needed on the house.
Christina was an asset to us as we relocated from Philadelphia to New Jersey. We were very anxious first time home buyers with a LOT of questions. She was very knowledgeable about the area, schools, etc., and was a huge asset to us during the process. She never once made us feel rushed or like we were a burden throughout the entire process, despite asking to visit our now-home at least half a dozen times with various relatives before we made an offer. She was way more patient than I would have been with us! She calmed our fears/nerves and guided us through the process without ever being the least bit pushy. She also was extremely quick to respond to emails/texts/calls and always went the extra mile for us! I would absolutely use her in a heartbeat if we were to move again!
Christina was the listing agent for our home in Princeton, NJ. We selected her because of her expertise in the area, very positive reviews and track record as well as personal experience with renovated older homes and rellocation. Throughout the process Christina was our rock. She helped us stage, price and market the house in an extremely professional, polished and effective way. We started receiving serious offers within 2 days of the open house and sold it within a week for a good amount over asking! Our only regret, we will miss our interaction with her ... Thanks for everything Christina!
We recently relocated from outside the area, and happened upon Christina by sheer coincidence. We couldn't have been happier that we did. Nobody knows the Princeton-Pennington-Hopewell areas better than Christina, and over multiple weekends and more than 30 homes, we finally found our "forever" house. We couldn't have done it without her. If you're in the area and looking for an agent, I can't think of a better choice.
We moved to Princeton from NYC a year ago. She helped us find an apartment to rent in a relatively short period of time, and accommodated our rather rigid work schedules and picky aesthetic. She was down to earth, relatable, incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. When we decided to purchase a house in Princeton after renting approximately 6 months, we knew that Christina was the right person. She is very knowledgable about the area and process. She responds to emails and calls quickly - which is something not all realtors in the area do. During the process of looking for the right house, it was quite evident that she knows the market well. We are very picky clients and scoured the real estate websites daily. We wanted only a modern house - which is a rare find in Princeton. She was able to find it for us, and did so before it appeared on any real estate websites! Working with Christina allowed us to be one step ahead of the increasingly competitive housing market.She was responsive to our needs/wants, and importantly, was never pushy. She is honest and ridiculously hard working and I highly recommend her to others! We still contact Christina occasionally - even though our house closed approximately a month ago. She is a wealth of information and seems to know everything about Princeton and the surrounding areas. She is a great person to work with and to know!
Our experience working with Christina has been amazing and smooth! Not only she is a savvy in real estate, she treats us like friends with her patience and second set of eyes.She was always there support, guide us during the lengthy process. As the first time home buyers, we feel very lucky to have her as the agent.

We had a very positive experience with Christina. She is very professional and at the same time connects with you personally. Always responsive and understood our requirements. Christina was also very patient with us during the entire process as we were looking for our first home. Even after the deal was closed, Christina remained in touch and I still reach out to her for her suggestions on home repairs etc. I would highly recommend Christina!
Christina helped me buy my home and she was a superb resource throughout the entire house-hunting process. I could not have been more impressed or pleased.She showed me nearly 50 homes (I'm not kidding!) in Princeton, Hopewell, Pennington, and Lawrenceville over the course of several months. She was incredibly patient and reliable throughout this long process, always on the ball with sending new listings for my consideration. Most of all I appreciated her quick, clear communication at practically any time of day -- she was always fast with a response to an email or text message or phone call, and she somehow kept all the information organized. Christina is really a walking encyclopedia of the local real estate market, I don't know how she does it. If and when we ever decide to sell our place, she's the first person I will call.
I worked with Christina when I was thinking about possibly buying a bigger home and renting the one we were currently in. She was patient, attentive, pleasant and professional. She showed us a home that we were interested in several times over a period of several months and guided us through a situation when we needed to decide whether to enter a bidding contest for the house. Ultimately we decided to let the house go and she was very supportive and reassuring. She also introduced us to a local mortgage broker who provided us with a loan when our own big national bank could not. I am very pleased to have a relationship with her and look forward to a time when we can actually complete a real estate transaction!
Christina sold my residence in Princeton. Throughout the process, I appreciated her dedication and professionalism. She was always available for questions and to provide guidance. Christina's knowledge of the real estate market and the surrounding areas is impressive. I enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.
It was great to work with Christina. We actually found this house very early in the search process but wanted to make sure that it was the right one. Christina very patiently found other suitable properties for us to benchmark before we were confident that this was the right house for us. The negotiations were tricky since there was another interested buyer who had contracted the same agent as the seller. Christina dealt with this situation very professionally.
Christina Phillips is an experienced real estate professional. She knows the greater Princeton area very well, is quick to understand your needs and is very responsive throughout the process. I highly recommend her and would be happy to use her services again if the need arose.
Christina Phillips is an exceptional agent. We first met Christina when we were searching for a home to rent in Montgomery. We found her to be warm, extremely competent, professional and able to negotiate the best deal possible for us. Christina has a good relationship with the owner of the home so she "walked a fine line" regarding insuring both landlord and leasee were happy. Despite the fact that we were not buying the home, she personally met us at the home several times to allow us to prepare for the move. We definately will utilize Christina's services when we buy a home.
My husband and I have used Christina several times over the past 8 years. In 2004, she successfully sold our 'starter' home in one of the traditionally slowest times of the season (Christmas/New Year's). Her determination, staging skills, communication, marketing, pricing strategy, and desire to host open houses equalled a successful, flawless sale. Whenever we have had ANY questions, Christina was available with answers. Since the original sale, we have also used her to sell, purchase and rent investment properties. She has put us in contact with lenders, movers, and lawyers. Christina is thorough, pleasant, and extremely discreet. Because we have her on our 'team' we do not worry about looking for a tenant or putting my house up for sale in the future. We continue to stay in touch with her about current renovation projects and how it will later affect resale. I highly and whole heartedly recommend Christina Phillips as an excellent real estate agent. She is genuine and honest and advises with what is best for the CUSTOMER. Christina alleviates much of the stress associated with selling a home. What more can someone ask for?
We worked for a very long time with Christina, yet she remained enthusiastic and patient with us until we were able to find a home we loved and was within our budget. We thought Christina was helpful, responsive and always on top of things on both the buy and sell side, as she not only found us the home we bought, but also sold our previous home. She is incredibly professional and dedicated to her carreer. We enjoyed our time working with her. Now that we have moved, I miss spending time with her!
Christina is great! I think the thing I appreciate most about her is that she listens and she is not pushy. It took me quite a while to make an offer on the house I eventually bought and Christina was wonderful throughout. She was there when I needed information or guidance, she didn't bug me when she knew I wasn't in a position to move forward (I was waiting for my previous house to sell.) She stayed calm ane helpful when I had last minute qualms (now completely forgotten; I love my house). On top of all that, Christina has remained helpful long after the house sale. I have called her for all sorts of recommendations - electricians, plumbers etc. - and she has come through every time.
