I was wonderful to work with Chris and Will. They were quick to reply to my text or emails, knowledgeable about the area and understood my wants and needs.

Chris was an outstanding realtor to work with during our home purchasing process! Chris, along with her team were a great help, really heard my wants & made this process easy & hassle free! I would recommend Chris McNelis to any local family & friends!
Bruce and Megan Dinopoulos, Lusby, MD, a seller from Lusby, MD
Chris McNelis was exceptional from beginning to end. She problem solved to alleviate potential glitches and used her past experiences to make sale seamless. The communication was professional and continuous. We appreciated Chris' guidance and knowledge of home sales in Southern Maryland. Both were extremely helpful and gave us an advantage in selling our house quickly while still holding firm to our terms. We are still amazed that in three weeks, we went from listing our house to closing on our house. Chris' assistant, Will Hooper was equally impressive and helpful throughout the whole process. Above all Chris recognized that our house of thirty years had emotional ties. She treated us and our home with respect and dignity. We strongly recommend Chris McNelis to others looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy realtor.
Chris was extremely positive about the property. She inquired about all the building specs. She learned the boundaries. She created a plan to sell this unique property. She responded quickly to all our questions.
My husband had asked for feedback from every showing. Chris made sure we got a response from EVERY showing.
We also worked with Will extensively. He was extremely helpful and patient while helping with online paperwork.
They were both available at all times for us! My husband and I would use them immediately if we had the opportunity.

Chris - thanks for all your hard work. You and Will made this experience painless and relatively easy. When the time comes to sell the small condo, you two will be my first call!
Cheers,

Chris was recommended to us by a close friend in the area as the best in the business and as we found out, there was absolutely no need to shop around. Our friend was spot on. Chris and Will are indeed the best and we think of them as part of our family now.
We moved from Northern Virginia and didn't know what to expect moving to Calvert County as first time Marylanders. The process with Chris and Will was seamless and designed to be as easy as possible on us as the buyers. We couldn't have asked for more!
Chris and Will are spectacular and they attended to our every need throughout this process. Their advice and guidance are priceless.
Chris McNelis is the ultimate professional and an expert in her craft.
Kim and Jim Morgan, Washington, DC, a buyer from Abell, MD
Chris was simply extraordinary. We would give her six out of five stars if we could, and recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for property in Southern Maryland.
Chris went above and beyond and helped with the selling of our first house. I moved for work at a rapid pace and she sold the house quickly efficiently and got our asking price. She did above and beyond what was required of her. Also if you have the pleasurer of working with Will he is resourceful and always available to answer a question.
Chris has a solid reputation as the premier realtor for waterfront and unique properties in Southern Maryland. I know; I have now used Chris twice to sell a home in Calvert County. Additionally, she found a wonderful townhouse rental in a marina community that I enjoyed for the two years between these homes. Don't use Chris if you aren't willing to ensure your house is in top condition. Read: investment and work. The result is being able to list a house at top dollar. After a few home projects, we were not shy on our listing price for 2320 Miles Way. We had multiple offers in 8 days and were able to choose the full price offer with no home sales contingency... in a down market, and over the holidays. Pretty amazing.
Chris knows exactly what to focus on to prep the home for sale. As an example, we put new cooking appliances in the kitchen to increase the kitchen appeal. She knew the market and was positive that a 5000sqft post and beam home on 2.6acres less than a 1000ft from a community beach on the Chesapeake Bay would be an outlier, not necessarily affected by the market downturn. She was correct!
Chris used a professional photographer that captured the home at its best. She turned that into a web presence that was impressive and appealing.
During the offers and negotiations phase, I counted on her wise counsel. We did provide some consideration for a replacement roof, but the other nits from the inspector were remedied quickly by trades professionals that she has in her well developed network. The result was a maximum return.
Through all of this, Chris is always available for a call or a txt. Her team backs her up well if she has a conflict. Her demeanor is friendly and informative. It has been a pleasure to work with Chris and her associate Will as we sold 'Westbay'. Thanks for an opportunity to share my experiences with this professional.
Pamela & Gary: formerly Saint Leonard,, a seller from Saint Leonard, MD
In all of the the many real estate transactions that we have had in the past 50 years, Chris McNelis was by far the best realtor that we have ever worked with. Her knowledge of the real estate market in Southern MD is excellent and she used all forms of marketing that targeted potential qualified buyers for our unique house location. She guided us through the selling process from listing to settlement keeping our needs and interests at the forefront.
In addition to working with Chris, we also worked closely with her asistant, Will Hooper. We thank them both for the many hours that they put in and their patience and professionalism in helping us navigate the occational bumps that occured during the contract negotiation and home inspection period!
Christine and Will are the best! Professional, courteous, resourceful and responsive. Trying to expedite the sale of a home in the Winter time while the Feds raised the interest rates several times was stressful, to say the least. Chris and her team were consistently engaged and helpful. Without their expertise and professional/contractor contacts, I would not have been able to sell the house as fast as I did.
Chris used all available marketing tools to advertise our waterfront house which was on a unique site to bring in qualified buyers. Her vast experience & knowledge of the real estate market & outstanding professionalism guided us through all steps of selling the house from listing to settlement. In all of the prior real estate transactions that we have done in our 50+ years of home ownership, we have never had a real estate agent so focused on our concerns and ensuring that the process was executed professionally and to our benefit. Chris is our # 1 recommendation for all real estate needs!
Christine did a great job helping us sell our home. She recommended a listing price significantly higher than what we thought we could sell for in the current market, and we sold near that price. As non Maryland residents living out of state, her help in navigating a complex real estate transaction was invaluable.

My husband & I just bought our 1st home this month. Denise Neitzke was awesome at her & the advice she gave us in selecting our new home. Denise listened to our requests, was responsive & knowledgeable about her job. Also she has some experience in banking which definitely helped and showed
Chris McNelis is the best! She is professional, knows her business and a pleasure to do business with!!

I have known Chris for years and she's been influential in multiple properties and home sales.
Chris and Will were the point people for me.
Marcie Avram, New York City, a seller from Solomons, MD
Chris McNelis is an inherent marketer with an in-depth knowledge and love of the Avondale Cottages community and Solomons -- the appeal of Southern, Maryland -- and the intricacies of the luxury market. All of this is strengthened even further by a wide circle of local friends and businesses. These are qualities which can't be duplicated easily -- if at all.
Phyllis K., Solomons, MD, a seller from Dowell, MD
Since Chris had previous dealings with two of our daughters, she was highly recommended. Chris did not disappoint me. She listened to my thoughts, made suggestions, and we agreed on a plan to sell my property. Chris always quickly replied to my texts/emails and was easily accessible, as was her assistant, Will Hooper.
I cannot say enough good things about Chris and Will.
