“This is my second time working with Cristie St. James. Professionalism unparalleled, honesty, integrity and dedication. Simply the best!” -Raymond Caldiero, VP Northwest Airlines
“Having been involved in real estate investments for over 15 years, it’s now impossible to imagine buying and/or selling residential real estate without Cristie St. James representing us. We’ve worked with Cristie on several real estate deals over the last decade. Cristie’s efforts and results are unmatched by any other realtor we’ve worked with.
Cristie & Markus work tirelessly, They have a very positive “can do” attitude, they are honest and have a great reputation in the real estate business, both with peers and clients alike. Our most recent transaction was on the selling end in this current economic climate and we have never seen anyone go to the great lengths it now takes to sell a high end house in this market. From the moment we listed with them until the day it sold, they had an open house every Sunday, they developed a great web site just for our house, had an amazing photographer capturing unbelievable photos of the house, had lots of advertising with photos in the LA Times, The MLS magazine and other print and online venues. Markus even did a video with a walk through narration of our house. Needless to say, Cristie & Markus sold our house, when many other realtors would have just given up.
Words cannot express our gratitude and admiration for Cristie & Markus. We cannot wait to work with them again!” -Gina Goff and Laura Kellam
“I wanted to express my gratitude to St. James + Canter for their exceptional service and professionalism in selling my home on Beverly Crest Drive in Beverly Hills. Cristie & Markus made the process painless, effortless and amazingly fast. Had it not been for their skill, and experise, I’m convinced my home would not have sold for an amount that Exceeded the asking price and which closed in record time.
I was particularly impressed with their sensitivity and understanding that I wasn’t simply selling a piece of property but rather my home for more than 34 years, in which I raised my family and was an important part of my life…I thank them especially for that. Cristie & Markus clearly have a command of all aspects of the “psychology” of residential home sales.
In addition to their professional abilities, they delivered everything they promised–and more–and were a pleasure to work with!” -Richard Arroyo
“My first encounter with St. James + Canter was as a buyer of one of their listings. Cristie’s easy going personality gave me the confidence to email her directly with questions about the property. Cristie always made herself available to me so she could answer my every question that I ended up talking to her more than the agent who represented me. I was so impressed with her work ethic and commitment to her career that I hired Cristie in 2010 to sell one of my properties. I told Cristie that I was only willing to sell if got my minimum asking price. Undeterred, they quickly got the process started by putting together an impressive marketing campaign. The property sold in less than one month and I had my asking price. Cristie then represented me on a purchase for another listing that closed a few weeks later. In my opinion, many real estate agents do not take the time to get to know their client or put in the work to really earn their commission. Cristie and Markus are not like those agents – they take pride in what they do and I could not see myself ever hiring another broker to help me buy or sell a property. Further, I can also say that I am happy to call them both my friends.” -David L. LaBonte
“Right away we could tell Cristie St. James was a dedicated professional who knew her business. Our situation was an unusual one since I had to be out of town on business just when we went into escrow on the house we were purchasing. Since this was our first time buying property in California it took more effort on Cristie’s part. We are well pleased with our house in the Hollywood Hills. We feel her skills, knowledge and honesty are an asset to anyone looking to purchase real estate.” -Merna & Mark Monroe
“As a real estate developer and an investor, I look to the expertise of a Realtor to assist me in making an informed decision on my investments. I was extremely pleased with the professional conduct and diligent follow-up that I received from Cristie St. James of Prudential John Aaroe Estates. Ms. St. James has an extremely broad knowledge of the real estate market and a commitment to satisfaction of her client. I highly recommend Ms. james as a dedicated professional.” -Marc Paul
“It has been a pleasure working with Cristie St. James on the recent purchase of a house in Beverly Hills. I found her to be extremely helpful, knowledgeable and dedicated. She did an excellent job negotiating the price on the property and her enthusiasm for her job adds to her ever present professionalism. I would highly recommend her to anyone with real estate needs.” -Brian Kesluk, Attorney at Law
“Cristie St. James worked diligently not only to sell my condominium, but also to purchase a new one. I was particularly impressed with her business skills, her vast network of contacts and her ability to handle difficult negotiations. The property I purchased presented its own very unique set of circumstances that required more attention and effort than what is considered normal. Her determination and commitment turned a challenging situation into a successful transaction. I highly recommend her as dedicated professional.” -Michael Lopez, MD
