Testimonials

Our first home buying experience was a very easy and memorable one thanks to Chris Herr. Chris got our short sale approved by the bank in 8 days, and we were shocked at how easy he made it for us.  Our friends warned us about short sales and how long they take, but with Chris, everything went smoothly. Chris was very efficient, honest and dependable. He was available every time we had a question from 7:30 in the morning to late at night. We were very fortunate for his help and would choose no one else to help us in the future.

Chris was a joy to work with throughout the loan process. He was extremely attentive to every need and question that I had. Not once did he not return a call or email. He got us the rate we were looking for and made the extremely difficult process of getting a loan relatively painless. I have already and will in the future recommend people to Chris for all their home loan needs. Count me as a 100% satisfied customer.

When my husband and I found the home of our dreams, we were concerned we would not be able to qualify as the purchase price was just a bit more than we had planned on. Chris carefully guided us through the underwriting process to ensure that we had the best possible chance for success. Well, happy to say we are all moved into our new home and I am certain we would not have been successful without Chris’s competent supervision of the complicated loan process.

Purchasing or selling a home in today's economic climate is a true chore.  Chris and his team turn a laborious task into a labor of love.  His professional insights, diligence and perseverance commingled with his caring attitude has made us Raving Fan's of his and his firm.  Even though the other agent wasn't motivated Chris continued to work hard and push for our house.  We truly believe we are living in our dream home today because of his constant hard work.  Chris is a true man of integrity and honor and a blessing to work with.  He is more than our Realtor of choice; he is now a true friend.  Should we sell and buy again, Chris will be our ONLY Choice!

Many real estate agents will tell you they know how to negotiate a short sale with the banks only to waste months or even years of your time, with no results.  Chris at America's Choice Lending & Realty delivers!  Chris found me the new home I wanted and worked tirelessly until the sale was approved and the keys were in my hand, in less time than I expected.  I recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in Southern California.  Thanks Chris!

Chris Herr was instrumental in finalizing the short sale of my condo in Huntington Beach, CA.  He explained all my options in the beginning and took the time to review and clarify every step of the process.  Chris also communicated every set back and progress throughout the entire process.  He negotiated with the buyer, first and second mortgage representatives, HOA and property manager to ensure that the negotiation continued to move forward.  I would refer Chris Herr to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, condo, or townhome without reservation; he is a professional with experience that will help you get the results you want.

I know other realtors would have given up, but Chris can get the job done no matter how difficult.  Thank you Chris for your patience and entusiasm, heaped with honesty, caring and integrity.  In a world filled with people whose only concern is to make money, Chris was most concerned with my happiness in my new home.  He is an amazing Realtor and now also a good friend.  I highly recommend him to anyone. He will get the job done no matter how difficult.

Chris did an amazing job securing a loan for us. We were cautioned not to use an out of area lender, but Chris was highly recommended to us by a friend, and the distance proved not to be an issue at all. He won over everyone he worked with, including our realtor, who was initially very skeptical about working with someone out of the area. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and efficient. He anticipated every imaginable document the banks would require, and requested documentation from us in advance. He was so thorough and organized during our loan process that we closed much earlier than we initially anticipated. I wish everyone approached their work like Chris does.

I recently found myself in a tough, personal situation and was in the unfortunate position of having to short sell my house.  I contacted Chris to simply ask his advice and from that moment on, he was a bulldog for me!  He laid out a strategy, swiftly put the house on the market, found potential buyers within weeks and negotiated settlement deals with my first and second mortgage.  As with many real estate transactions, there were pitfalls and struggles.  Chris was on top of every one of them.  When a problem would arise, Chris not only knew how to deal with it but had 2-3 contingency plans in the works.  Chris handled the transaction strongly but professionally and avoided what could have been a very painful process ending in foreclosure.  Not only would I highly recommend Chris to anyone who found themselves in my situation but I will use no one else for my real estate transactions.  I was extremely lucky to have him representing me.

I was buying my first place and was feeling like my loan people weren’t being honest. A friend recommended calling Chris so I did. He came late to the game, and he had only 20 days to close, but he was able to get my purchase closed and save me thousands of dollars. Since then he has repeated this feat with family, friends, and a refi for me. It’s rare today to work with someone who is dedicated to the customer’s best interest, Chris consistently has done this.

"Purchasing your first home can be very scary.  I know I was.  Chris explained the process every step of the way and made me feel very comfortable.  We found a home in no time and Chris was consistently there to make the process as seamless as possible for me.  I absolutely recommend Chris if you are looking to purchase a home."

"Hello Chris,

We had such an amazing experience with you as our Realtor, if we should ever need one in the future, we would ONLY go with you. You were easy to talk to and you explained the process in detail in a way that anyone could understand. You were patient and there for us when we had questions or concerns, day or night.

Purchasing a home can sometimes be an overwhelming process, but you put all our fears at ease because you are so thorough.

For all these reasons we have already recommended you to other buyers and will continue to do so in the future.

Thanks Chris for all that you do!"
