Schneider Estates, Inc. Reviews

Honest excellent service. We bought a 2nd condo in the Santa Cruz area and she was very helpful in us finding the right unit for our needs while our children attended college there. Over three years later when they had graduated and moved one and we no longer had need for that unit, she again helped us significantly it getting it ready to sell. The professional pictures and virtual staging were top notch - and really showed the unit well. She always responds promptly to questions. On top of that Christine donates a portion of her commission to charity - and we picked the Children's Hospital in Madera to receive our donation.

Christine Schneider was incredibly caring, knowledgeable and professional. The Santa Cruz County real estate market is HOT! HOT!! HOT!!! If priced correctly, properties do not stay on the market long, sometimes just hours. It is important that your realtor understands that reality, as well as understands you, your housing needs and interests, and your timeline. This level of understanding takes time and true empathy. Christine has the heart of an angel. She was incredibly accessible for many lengthy discussions to narrow our focus. She also has a keen understanding of the business of real estate which enabled her to find the perfect buyer and perfect replacement home in just hours. Unbelievable! We recommend you seriously consider Christine Schneider for your real estate needs. You will be glad you did!

Have worked with Christine on both ends of a transaction. First, the sale of a property, followed by a purchase.

In both cases, she drove the deals to successful completion that benefitted all parties. The processes were aggressively managed in timely and professional manner -- at no point did Christine drop the ball.

Hiring Christine is the first step on the path to success.

Christine has earned our recommendation to friends and family with her professional expertise and personal spirit. She was knowledgeable in Santa Cruz Co. specific ordinances and resources which meant we could act quickly when issues developed. We were comfortable in the process with Christine who is very easy to be around, accessible and patient. Christine demonstrated a high degree of integrity to her ethics. She proved to be a skilled and dynamic negotiator in what turned out to be a difficult and irregular transaction. With Christine we also received some great referrals and relationships with people who are helping us turn real estate into the home we wanted.

Christine ALWAYS has your best interest in mind. She is thorough, and you can trust her to get the job done, no matter what.

Christine was fantastic to work with. Would recommend to any first time home buyer. Thank you Christine.

Simply put We sold our house quickly and got what we asked for. our house was not easy to sale, because of several issues such as unpermitted sections and hard to access .we tried for several years to sale our house but did not get even one offer.
Then we found Christine.
Christine as a Real Estate Agent since 2000 and a Real Estate Broker, was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very patient. She is able to bring a level of expertise and polish that you rarely find in this field .
My wife and I hired Christine as the listing agent to sell our home in Aptos, Of course, issues arise such as inspector telling us our house has foundation problem!! Oh my God!!, but Christine always has a nice calming way of handling matters, Final result was an excellent presentation of our home which resulted with the wining offer in less than three weeks time . Home sale can be a stressful time but Christine made it an enjoyable process for us. Christine is a masterful communicator and negotiator with an unparalleled level of integrity.
marketing and sales approach was brilliant - thorough, simple, clear and straight forward. She was ever present and active with us from the initial sale through the property closing.

Christine is highly experienced in residential sales and has an in-depth understanding of the Santa Cruz real estate market. Her local market knowledge, excellent communication skills, and strong ability to negotiate makes her an exceptional Broker.

We loved working with Christine. We were renting a condo in Santa Cruz near Cowell's Beach and were given first refusal by our landlord when they decided to sell our place. We called Christine and she immediately set to work evaluating our home, negotiating on their asking price, etc. It was our first home purchase so we were new to the process. Whenever we needed something explained or had a last minute question Christine was always available to talk us through the situation and help us figure out next steps. We were so happy to work with Christine through this process and are looking forward to using her when we are ready to move again!

Working with Christine Schneider as my real estate broker has been a bright spot in a difficult time when my mother had passed away and I needed to sell my mother s home. Christine was on top of all the details for the whole process, and dealt with a number of difficulties that have been aggravating without her calm guidance. I especially appreciated her advice on the market and this particular home, and her explanations of the many complex parts of the process. I recommend Christine Schneider as a highly experienced professional with a calm, friendly demeanor she should be your first choice as a real estate broker.

Christine Schneider was an angel during a time of great transition in my life. I didn't think it would be possible for me to buy a house. But she supported me through the entire process. She worked closely with me, the seller and even my lender to make sure everything happened smoothly. And because she has been a realtor for so long in this area, she was able to refer me to great people in the community to help with any upgrades or repairs I wanted to make on the house. Christine is a woman of great integrity and true compassion. I couldn't have made my dream of owning a house come true without her support, guidance and trust. I recommend her to everyone I meet who is considering selling or buying in Santa Cruz county.

I can't say enough about Christine's warmth, expertise, patience and professionalism. We were fairly new to the area and more than a little naive when it came to the housing market here (very competitive). I'm not exaggerating when I say that without Christine we would have ended up with the wrong house. She always showed up for us, answered our endless questions, and gave her honest and unbiased opinion about the myriad of homes we saw, even spotting potential red flags in several that we would have undoubtedly missed. We just closed on a phenomenal home that we absolutely love and we owe that to Christine. Highly recommend!

Christine is an excellent real estate agent. I would recommend her to anyone. She knows the market, does her research, and speaks honestly. Prior to choosing an agent I looked at many properties. In so doing I was in touch with quite a few other agents. Amazingly she was the only one who ever followed up with me. She is diligent, thorough and hard working.

Christine informed us immediately as properties in our price range were listed. She was always available to quickly show us properties we wanted to see. She was patient and instrumental in helping us learn the dynamics of real estate in an area that was new to us. Following our decision to buy she took full responsibility for necessary inspections. Since we lived some distance away this was invaluable. We would certainly ask for her help in the future.

Schneider Estates was sure I was pre-approval process by a professional, knowledgeable and skillful lender, Ryan Buckholdt with Open Advisors. He eventually obtained a loan that was favorable beyond what we had originally discussed. His knowledge and ability to listen and act quickly saved me $500 (?) in mortgage payment every month and 10 s of thousands of dollars over the life of my loan. Thank you Ryan.

Christine s commitment to building relationships based on consistent, timely and informative communications started shortly after I met her at an open house, and continued and is still going on. We had a seller rent back, and she helped me through this all the way to the end. Her ability to listen, use intuition and industry knowledge, and empathy for people are all a part of the excellent service provided by Schneider Estates.
