About Christian
Honesty and integrity are what I strive to provide my clients. Prior to settling in Venice, my family and I lived in many different areas of the country before returning to the beautiful state of Florida. My experiences in buying, and owning and developing property in my own life are what drive me to be an effective Realtor®. My professional past includes teaching, owning and developing my own retail business, and establishing a successful real estate investing company. I feel that this is what sets me apart from other Realtors® as my personal knowledge of the ins and outs of the property buying process helps put my clients at ease. From the initial search, to financing, negotiating and closing, I have been there and can provide the support and knowledge needed in an honest and straightforward manner. At heart, I am a true family man and my wife, children and I reside in Venice, enjoying every advantage the area provides. I believe we are all "World Changers," and should strive to make life excellent! Whether it''s an investment property, a place to retire, or a place to raise your family, let me show you the value of experience!

04/13/2013 - user7069781 Bought a Single Family home in 2013 in Barboursville, WV. Christian--worked very hard to help us find the right house. He listened to our wants and desires and found a perfect match. When we had questions he quickly responded and helped us navigate the housing market. Without his help the process would have taken longer and I am not sure that we would have found the perfect house. He helped us negotiate and close the deal, which is significant since there were two other buyers making offers on the property

07/10/2013 - user5637593 Bought a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $300K in Venice, FL. I recently sold then purchased another second home in Venice, FL with Christian Panin as my agent. As a Seller, I appreciated his research and knowledge of the market in order to get us a fair price and a quick sale. The marketing was effective and he took care of all the details. As a Buyer, he listened to our wants and needs and helped us focus our search and selection. Despite living out-of-state and having limited time to review and consider multiple properties, we were able to find just what we were looking for. With his input and advise we were then able to secure a house at a very attractive price. I could not recommend Christian more highly.

He guided us in viewing homes he knew would fit our personality. He saved us time by omitting house he knew would not be to our liking. He is knowledgable about the Sarasota/Venice area. He is not only able to guide you in the house buying process but able to suggest other areas of interest. He is always available and never was bothered by the questions we presented. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a home in the Venice area

12/23/2015 - DebbieKeeter Lavezzo Bought a Townhouse home in 2015 in Fairfax, VA. Christian was such a delight to work with. My husband and I arrived from Virginia late in the day and that evening he met with us to take us around several locations we were interested in. Even though it was dark and past dinner time, he had no problem taking his time and showing us around. For the next few days Christian took us to just about every possible place in which we might be interested and that was within our budget and styles of homes we were interested in. While touring with Christian, at no time did he rush us or make suggestions of what he thought was the best option for us. He allowed us to discuss things together and answering our questions. If he was unable to answer our questions, he went out of his way to find the answer for us. On about the third or fourth day of touring homes with Christian, we settled on building a home in Sarasota National which is in Venice, Florida. He worked with the builder to help us decide what we wanted in our home, took us several times to the site which we had chosen, and also helped us with deciding what we actually wanted to put into the home. I cannot say enough good things about Christian. He is a man with great integrity who is very honest and cares deeply about his clients' happiness. We recommend him highly to anyone who is looking to find that perfect home or a perfect place for a retirement.

We could not be there for most of the process but trusted and knew that Christian would make sure that everything went smoothly for us. Christian helped us to pick the best location and helped us find the perfect house. His knowledge of the area was very helpful and his expertise in the house buying process made this an extremely easy move. Any time we needed to communicate with Christian he was prompt to reply and was always willing to help with us with any request we had. Christian went through the house inspection for us as we were not able to be there. He was there for the walk through and closing as well. When we arrived in Florida ( 3 days after closing) Christian was there with a cleaning team helping us to get the best start with moving in. Christian went above and beyond any expectations and we are extremly greatful. We would highly recommend Christian Panin and feel incrediable lucky to have found him.

Christian was so very helpful by constantly responding to my every inquiry about homes I had found on the internet and added more suggestions of other possibilities for me to look at. His visits to these homes, his immediate response to all my inquiries and questions, and his ability to help me close in on the home that best suited my needs are what sold the house to me. Meeting him in person when I visited to look over the chosen property was a deal maker. He is someone you want to know personally because of the kind of person he is. He takes his job seriously, is passionate about helping people understand what they are doing, and truly wants the fit to be perfect.

Moreover, Christian demonstrated a keen knowledge of the local market that was valuable during price negotiations. He was skillful and trustworthy in advising me throughout the purchasing process. Christian also demonstrated a superior capacity to work with everyone involved in the sale, which ultimately sealed the deal as there were unexpected complications that were resolved with the help of Christian’s leadership.

07/13/2015 - user2711733 Bought a Single Family home in 2015 for approximately $275K in Venice, FL. It goes without saying, purchasing a home whether for your primary residence or as a vacation home, is a significant, costly expense, requiring an enormous amount of leg work and investigation throughout the process; with a result of finding that perfect home. Due to our laundry list of changing requirements, it took us over two years working with Christian to find our perfect fit. However over that course of time, we were actively looking, then not actively looking, we wanted this area, then that area, any other agent would have gave up on us. Christian, being the true professional, remained engaged, listened, and constantly kept us current on the ebb and flow of real-estate in the area we targeted. He was relentless in his pursuit of the perfect home that met all our requirements. Not many agents take calls all hours of night, while they’re on vacation, and during precious family time to address clients questions but for Christian, it was that way. Christian stepped us through the full process and because of his extensive experience, was able to guide us through what to key in on, and what to avoid. His honest approach, kept us realistic but also hopeful. We would strongly encourage you to give Christian the opportunity to work for you. We are certainly appreciative of all his assistance, guidance, and knowledge that got us the exact results we were looking for. Thank you, Mike & Deb

I've been involved in several real estate transactions over the years and have never worked with a more honest and hard-working agent. Christian went above and beyond to make my latest real estate deal go smoothly. One of the things that sets Christian apart is his flexibility and willingness to address each and every issue as they present themselves in a factual manner. Christian alleviates apprehensions by responding quickly and doing the research or legwork necessary to put the issue to rest. In addition, Christian has a great personality and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is second to none!

12/09/2012 - user5520824 We connected, but it did not work out. Christian is an amazing guy who will help you find your perfect Florida home. He will work tirelessly for you and the best thing is that he is unbelievable at negotiating the best deal for his clients. He blows me away with the zeal he helps his clients out with going the extra mile. I would not hesitate recommending Christian Panin as your real estate agent.

06/04/2014 - zuser20140604100723996 Bought a Single Family home in 2014 for approximately $775K in Cape Haze, FL. We first contacted Christian while looking at some undeveloped property - he was able to put us in touch with local resources which enabled us to make an informed choice not to pursue that deal, and from there we worked with him over several visits to Florida while looking for other choices. He was always available, listened to our input, and found us appropriate properties to visit. Through his assistance, we finally found a home which filled all of our needs, and were able to negotiate and close the deal.

07/15/2013 - user4206655 Bought a Condo home in 2013 in Venice, FL. I live in Massachusetts and just recently bought a Condo in Venice, Florida. Since I have personally used Christian Panin as a broker, I feel that without Christian's help and dedication i wouldn't have bought my Condo and would still be looking for a place in the Venice area. Christian went way beyond his means and duties as a broker in assisting me to find my place. His expertise and knowledge of the property and of the area contributed greatly in my decision to buy from him. Christian stayed in contact with me daily.and the transaction of the property went effortlessly. Even after the papers were signed, Christian still remains in contact with me and has become more of a friend than a broker. I would highly recommend Christian Panin as a person and a broker to find that home that you have been looking for.

Christian was always available, professional and helpful and gave a great deal of attention to what I was actually looking for. He was also helpful in assisting me in obtaining a mortgage and insurance. I highly recommend him.

12/04/2012 - user0476915 Sold a home in 2012. I found Christian to be very in tune to the Venice area as well as surrounding communities. He truly was attentive in listening to our criteria and desires for finding a home which, in turn, made the looking and buying process all the more pleasant. We've bought many homes in the past but our experience with Christian was, by far, the best of them all. He is fast to respond to any form of communication and always kept us in the loop of what was happening along the way. When it came to negotiating for us, we could not have asked for a better realtor. From our first offer until closing, he smoothly maneuvered all of the aspects involved which meant that we could focus on the enjoyable aspects of moving into a new home. His pleasant demeanor and expertise in all things related to home buying, from pre-qualification to negotiations to inspections and closing, made us very satisfied buyers.

06/14/2014 - zuser20140614155504017 Bought a Single Family home in 2014 for approximately $225K in Venice, FL. Outstanding. Christian worked closely with us until we found the house we wanted. He was flexible, responsive, and showed excellent knowledge. He worked with us on a house that was perfect except our lawyer, recommended by Christian, found the house did not have a clear title. We worked with the seller for several months but they could not resolve a second mortgage. I would recommend Christian Panin to any buyer or seller

01/25/2015 - lindacaesar Bought a Single Family home in 2014 for approximately $175K in Venice, FL. Christian showed the patience of a saint throughout my 2 1/2 year search for the perfect 2nd home in Florida. He made himself available to me via email, text messages, phone calls 7 days/wk. Christian is genuinely kind, mature and intuitive. He is extremely knowledgeable about real estate and the trends as they relate to FLA at large. He has made numerous connections with professionals involved in every aspect of the homebuying process. He made recommendations that yielded excellent results (Mortgage lender, Appraiser, Pest exterminator, carpenter, electrician, plumber, lawn and pool service). With his expertise, I successfully purchased a beautiful (REO) home in Venice, closing in 30 days! I would seek him out if I decided to buy or sell a home and I have already recommended him to 2 of my friends without hesitation.

Christian was our buyer agent who successfully assisted us in our purchase of a second home in Venice, Florida. He is very attentive to details. Christian listened to our needs and desires, and thus efficiently and effectively guided us through the search and purchase process. He was a strong advocate who acted with our best interest in mind. If in the future we purchase another home, we will certainly use Christian again.

10/13/2014 - hotairchef Bought a Single Family home in 2014 for approximately $275K in Englewood, FL. I found Christian on this website. Although we were 1,800 miles away, we connected on the first phone conversation. He understood our wants and needs. We received listings everyday, he reviewed the homes we were interested in - and informed us of the home features and the location pros and cons. He helped with negotiations, home inspections, closing agents and great advice. He made the closing happen on a very timely basis. I will recommend him in a heart beat.

12/20/2013 - A.REIFF Bought a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $250K in Venice, FL. Here's how it is .We could not have bought our beautiful house without Christian. First off; he learned of it's availability early on and after looking at a bunch of other houses he suggested we see this one. We had talked about what we were looking for in a house. He knew this was the right one. We looked it over and totally loved it. Long story short; We bought it but we live in North Carolina so we had to depend on Christian for all kinds of things to secure this deal. He did everything that had to be done to make sure this was going to work. Phone calls emails, dealing with ornry sellers,storing our bikes, spending some of his own money on a repair and being at the walkthrough & the closing for us. He maintained his concern for us, kept us informed as things progressed, was always professional and 'kept the faith' throughout the draining and obnoxious gathering information process by the bank. There may be other realtors who can keep up with Christian but if you don't know any ... Don't go on their word ... Christian is a really really good guy with the knowledge and experience and understanding of Florida realty and he would not let you down.

08/30/2014 - BarbZeek Henry Bought a Miscellaneous home in 2014 for approximately $125K in Sarasota, FL. Christian worked with me and my parents for almost a year trying to find the perfect property in Florida. We looked in several areas and he did many showings with us as well as frequent emails to keep us posted on listings, answer our questions and discuss pros and cons for each choice. Finally I saw the perfect property online that fit all our criteria. I called Christian who made the offer (you have to act fast when you find the right one)! The seller came back with a compromise but since we hadn't seen the property in person we stuck to the original offer until we could see the place. Then the seller accepted to original offer. When we came to see the place it looked even better in person. Christian took care of the walk through since we were out of state and when I came to Florida he met me with the key. He is an awesome realtor, I would highly recommend him to anyone. He supported us through a somewhat difficult approval process with the homeowner's association. Now we are happy and owe a lot to Christian for his patience and guidance in finding our dream retirement home

09/14/2015 - jec9294 Bought a Condo home in 2015 for approximately $150K in Venice, FL. I submitted an inquiry about a property asking to be contacted by an agent and Christian contacted me. The property was a foreclosure and I had absolutely no idea as to how to proceed through the purchase process as there were a number of government agencies involved. I still don't know how it all works because Christian handled everything. 29 days after I made my inquiry, the sale was completed!! I did almost nothing. Only after we closed did I realize the enormous amount of work Christian did. He kept me posted every step of the way, dealt with the bureaucracy and red tape, and successfully negotiated the sale. He is conscientious, polite and very knowledgeable and I am pleased to recommend him to other buyers.

03/23/2015 - brownaj3 Bought a home in 2015 in Eastgate, Bradenton, FL 34203. Christian was wonderful to work with. Our home search took longer than any of us expected, approx. 7 months to be precise, and he was with us every step of the way. I don't recall how many homes we looked at but no matter where we found something we may be interested in, he set up a showing and accommodated our schedules. We would highly recommend Christian to any of our family and friends, or anyone merely looking in the SW FL area for that matter. His recommendations for using a lender and closing agent were also sought and we couldn't have asked for a better experience with the persons he recommended either.
