I wanted to express our sincere appreciation to Christine Benson for helping us make a challenging transition from a four acre home in the Sierra Foothills to our wonderful new home in Temelec.  Christine brought an excellent knowledge of local real estate values and locations to help us find a new match for retirement living in the midst of everything wonderful Sonoma has to offer.  However, the real differentiator in this case is that Christine brings additional attributes not always found in real estate transactions.  She is a fearless negotiator, a realist when it comes to pricing and property inspection issues, and brings a cadre of competent inspectors, plumbers, and roofers to the table as needed.  In the end, Christine has become a dear "friend" as well as our competent realtor and our extended local family has also embraced her for her good will and enthusiastic support.  

Christine was an excellent broker in every respect. She has a thorough understanding of the Sonoma real estate market. Although many brokers may also have that, Christine distinguishes herself by her patience . We ended up looking for the right house over a 2 year period. She did not try influence us as we went through highs And lows reviewing properties . Christine allowed us to take our time until the right house finally showed up. Her guidance in the bidding process was invaluable.
