Megan took care of every aspect of our search for a property. She was excellent in recommendations for areas within Southern Maryland to search and the type of property we should seek. During closing, she kept everything on track and took care of every last detail great and small. Would highly recommend and will absolutely go with her again in any future searches.

Chris McNelis and McNelis & Associates are in a league of their own in Southern Maryland!
Chris saw me through three home sales and two home purchases in Southern Maryland. Two of these deals were at the very beginning of the pandemic! There is NO ONE ELSE I would think of working with. She is a professional through and through, with a wealth of experience and expertise in the Southern Maryland market.
I am not the easiest client to deal with, as I tend to be a "nervous Nelly," seeing trouble around every corner. But over the years I learned to trust and believe that Chris delivers on her promises. She could be a great therapist if she ever decides to change careers, because she knows just how to calm the nerves of her clients.
She leads a great team of professionals at McNelis & Associates, who all pitch in to make sure nothing falls through the cracks and deals get done on time. Texts and calls are answered almost immediately - EVERY TIME.
Chris' digital marketing game is without equal in Southern Maryland - she will get eyes on your property and put you ahead of the competition. The McNelis & Associate's mailers and signs have the classiest graphics by far. I couldn't recommend her more. If you're a motivated seller and you are willing to listen to solid advice - look no further.

Chris and her team are by far the best in the area - the only brokerage/agents I would recommend to someone buying/selling in the Southern MD region. Always quick to respond/update, excellent advice, great sales plan with excellent marketing, top-notch with negotiations. They made the home sale so easy for us; the process went better than we ever could’ve imagined! Highly recommend

Chris helped us sell our former home at top value (still picking our jaws off the ground!) and gave us excellent advice on being a competitive buyer on our new home purchase (with multiple offers), ultimately getting us the house we wanted at a good price and in the time frame we wanted. She is amazing!

Sold our home in 8 days with Chris’ professional recommendations.

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 about 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's appeal. She knew the market and was positive that a 5000 sq ft post and beam home on 2.6acres less than 1000 ft 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 text. 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 the opportunity to share my experiences with this professional.

Great experience! Professional and responsive.

Chris McNelis exceeded our expectations every step of the way. She was detail-oriented, responsive, and professional. We felt like we were being taken care of by family. As we were out of state, Chris and her colleague Will Hooper took care of every aspect of preparing the home for potential buyers, arranging showings, and finalizing the sale, all in a timely, efficient fashion. I highly recommend Chris and her team for anyone looking to sell their home.

Professional and great working experience with Chris McNelis and Will Hooper.

I experienced a stress-free experience as a buyer with Chris and Will.

They know the market, were great negotiators, and spent time working out details. I really appreciated their quick responses to any question I had.

Would highly recommend them!

Not Even a Government Shutdown Could Stop McNelis and Team
We started working with Chris and her team at least a year before listing our property. They provided very useful feedback on our property, including strengths and weaknesses as well as potential investments so that we were able to hit the ground running once we listed. As luck would have it, a shutdown ensued a week after listing, which completely froze the local housing market. Chris and Will persevered, navigating us through the storm. When the clouds parted, Chris and her team didn't miss a beat and through their guidance we successfully sold very shortly afterwards. They are the finest team around and we would highly recommend their services! They are first-class all around!

Chris was very understanding of my situation and helped me get out quickly.
Chris immediately told me she would find the right buyer for my property, and she did! She and Will held my hand all along the way and explained everything to me as it was happening. I had a contract in less than two weeks!
