I reached out to Chris when I learned of a potential opportunity to purchase a vineyard home property in Santa Ynez Valley. Chris served as listing agent for selling my St. Helena home and also as a consulting agent in the purchase of the SYV home. Chris jumped in immediately to give an exceptional above and beyond effort to get the St. Helena home on the market as fast and as tastefully styled as possible. Her vast knowledge of design, market analysis, contractors, financial options, building codes, legal issues etc. was invaluable and her work ethic extraordinary. Throughout the entire buying and selling process I was continually impressed by her responsiveness, helpful insights and impressive follow-through on questions I had and issues that arose throughout the process. Both transactions went very smoothly with all timelines met and I whole heartedly recommend Chris Hale as outstanding real estate agent.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Responsive
Chris is by far the most professional, knowledgeable, and responsive realtor I have ever encountered. And I have worked with many realtors in the course of buying and selling seven homes.
My husband and I wanted to build a home in the rural mountains of Healdsburg in Sonoma County. Neither one of us had any experience in buying land nor did we know how to begin to understand what was required with a well on the property, a proposed septic system, all county permits, fire regulations, and an active HOA. On top of all that we considered a prefab built modular home that needed a crane to place a house at the top of a large hill.
Chris went above and beyond to help us learn each step and kept us on track with many moving parts.
What’s most exceptional is that Chris put in as much time and effort into our small plot of land as I’m sure she does with clients buying the most sought after homes. We can’t thank Chris enough for helping our dream become a reality!!

Proactive, Trustworthy, Efficient
Chris is a stellar real estate agent. She is friendly, open, honest and truly wants what is best for her clients. She was attentive to our feedback regarding what we wanted in our first home and incredibly pro-active, setting up an initial search and taking the time to send us videos of homes she had visited in person.
She has in-depth experience buying and selling homes and is also knowledgeable about home repairs and maintenance. In addition, she has a strong network of contractors, inspectors & other specialists able to offer valuable advice along the way if needed. All of this proved incredibly helpful throughout the inspection process and as we began thinking about future construction projects on our home.
Chris is personable, pro-active, and trustworthy. Her energy, expertise and upbeat attitude made working with her easy and efficient, and we’d recommend her without reservation.

Hardworking, Enthusiastic
Christine did an awesome job of marketing and then selling our parcel of land in Calistoga. Previously, we had it listed for a long time with another broker/agent producing zero results. Listing it with Christine and her E&V team was very smart as they generated lots of interest and found us a buyer at a good price. She works very hard and we really appreciate her enthusiasm.
We heartily recommend Christine Hale

Professional, Experienced, Reliable
Chris was exceptional as our agent. She is friendly, professional, and easy to work with. She is intimately familiar with the local market and has a reliable instinct for real estate. In helping us purchase our home, she patiently answered our many questions. You never know what you'll discover with an old, historic home, and she worked tirelessly to research and gather information that made us comfortable with our purchase. We value her diverse experience in buying and selling as well as building and remodeling homes. We couldn't have been happier with our experience and the comfort of working with someone so reliable and trustworthy.

Simply the best!
I can’t even put into words how much Chris did for us during the home buying process. From the minute we mentioned we were looking for a house she joined us on the journey. She sent us countless listings and spent time with us looking at houses. She was more than a realtor, along the way she was a guide through the process and a voice for us. Chris answered questions big and small all along the way. We feel so lucky to have had Chris represent us and help us find our first home! We can’t wait to settle in and make many memories there with our new baby boy. Chris will be our first dinner guest once we get moved in. She is part of the family now!! I hope all young families are lucky enough to have someone like Chis on their side while looking for a home. She is simply the best. Thank you Chris!
