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.

Chris and Will did an outstanding job in selling my bayfront home for top dollar! They had excellent suggestions on how to get it ready to show, were responsive, and developed and deployed an excellent marketing plan. I highly recommend them!

We've worked with Chris since 1999 on multiple sales and purchases. We wouldn't go anywhere else!

Chris McNelis and her team provided outstanding service in handling the sale of my property. I cannot say enough good things about Chris - she is smart, smart, smart, low-key, confident, and utterly professional. She has a broad range of experience in real estate, which she brought to bear every step of the way from proposal presentation to closing follow-up. I feel lucky and very happy to have engaged Chris, Will, and the Berkshire Hathaway team for this important process.

Chris is amazing!! She spent a full day driving us around a year ago, introducing us to neighborhoods in Calvert and St. Mary's counties. We decided we wanted to live in Drum Point, and she found us the perfect home. Chris is super knowledgeable about the area and was wonderful to work with.

They say looking for your first place is a stressful and complicated process. Well Megan made that process easier than ever! She was communicative, resourceful, and fun to work with. She even brought her kids to some of the walkthroughs! I thank Megan for helping me find my first place and I recommend her to anyone looking for a place to live!

Chris McNelis is absolutely a true professional, helpful from the beginning with strategic planning to the crossing of the finish line with securing the offer we were looking for. Her office was always responsive and followed up with us whenever we had concerns. What's interesting about our sale of our home is we were out of town for part of the process. Chris was always available to us and responded to all our communications. Now that's service! I would recommend Chris McNelis to all my friends and colleagues in the southern Maryland area. Your home is your largest investment and selling is such an emotional and stressful environment; Chris is the best. Thank you from Jake and Christine Smith.

I have worked closely with Geoffrey since 2021.  He has always been reliable, accessible, quick to respond and, most importantly, honest to a fault.  Whenever I had questions, he was always able to answer them quickly and completely.  I would wholeheartedly & emphatically recommend working with him.
