We've worked with Chris since 1999 on multiple sales and purchases. We wouldn't go anywhere else!

Chris McNelis and her team provided outstanding service in handling the sale of my property. I cannot say enough good things about Chris - she is smart, smart, smart, low key, confident and utterly professional. She has a broad range of experience in real estate, which she brought to bear every step of the way from proposal presentation to closing follow up. I feel lucky and very happy to have engaged Chris, Will and the Berkshire Hathaway team for this important process.

Chris and Will did an outstanding job in selling my bay front home for top dollar! They had excellent suggestions on how to get it ready to show, were responsive, and developed and deployed an excellent marketing plan. I highly recommend them!
