In the last 20 months,I have sold 3 homes in 3 different states(New Jersey,Delaware and Florida).The best experience was with Chris Spina who listed,sold and settled my Florida home in 3 weeks while I never left the state of NJ. I highly recommend Chris Spina if you're looking for a total real estate professional who seemed to be available 24/7 and met all of my needs.Thanks,Chris !!!

I would without reservation recommend Chris Spina to anyone buying or selling a home in the Naples-Bonita Springs area. He is not only extremely knowledgeable about all facets of real estate transactions, but also knows the area, its history, and its plans for the future. He does the research necessary to give the best advice to his clients. Chris worked with us for six months before we were able to find a house appropriate for us. His advice and support guided us through a stressful time for us and we were able to get the house we wanted. Chris is a true professional who is totally dedicated to his clients.

I've used Chris over the years for a number of transactions. He has been my buying agent and my selling agent. He has made me money and kept me from losing money. He has always been spot on for me, and for all the people involved in each sale. He has a great support team around him to help with any and all needs. I can't express it in any other way except to say - He's the man for the job.
I was looking for a second home in the Naples/Bonita Springs market and Chris Spina was very helpful and patient in showing me many different areas and properties so I could determine where and what kind of property would be best for me. I looked at over 30 properties (condos to free standing homes) on 2 separate visits to Florida. In evaluating the many different locations and amenities, I determined that I was interested in Pelican Bay in Naples. Chris showed me many developments within Pelican Bay in my price range so that I could determine the pros and cons of each one. Chris utilized his computer to narrow my search and I found a condo I liked in a highrise, we made an offer and negotiated a price and Chris did an excellent job of keeping on top of the escrow process until closing, which happened in a very timely manner.
Working with Chris has always been terrific. He is responsive, trustworthy, knowledgable and works hard to get the job done! I will continue to work with him and his firm long into the future.
We are writing you to thank you for all your help in our recent real estate purchase at Emerald Bay. You were a true professional from the moment we met you. Once we expressed our needs and interests in purchasing property in Florida, you were right there helping us to find the perfect place. Accomplishing this purchase long distance was no easy task, yet you managed to handle this with ease and confidence. We would recommend you to our friends as we found you to be honest, sincere, prompt, cooperative, and reliable. Thank you again!
We worked with Christ twice and found him to be helpful and professional both times. The first tiime, we just wanted to have some advice on whether or not to try to sell - given the downturn in real estate. He was very frank about what we could expect and we decided to wait. Later - just this summer - we approached him again about selling our property and this time he was encouraging. We signed a contract and the property sold more quickly that we had expected. Throughout Chris was very straightforward about the process, very prompt in doing his part and in helping us to do ours. He clearly has expertise in the buying/selling process. We really appreciated both the expertise and the fact that he always let us have time to think before making a decision.
My wife and I live in Massachusetts and were looking for property in the Naples, Florida area. We contacted Chris in April and, even though we were 1500 miles from Naples, Chirs was able to effectively use video, internet, email and phone to present interesting properties to us. In July, we made a trip down to Naples and at that time Chris spent the day showing us various properties, discussed options, provided excellent advice and we ultimately gravitated toward a few properties. We decided to place an offer a few days later and Chris expertly negotiated with the seller's broker and guided us through the process to a successful conclusion. 4 weeks later we closed on the property. My wife and I have purchased many properties over the years and, this process was by far the most enjoyable. It all proceeded without a hitch and we truly benefitted from Chris's integrity, practical good sense, local knowledge, responsiveness and focus on the types of properties we were really interested in. Most of all we appreciated Chris's honesty and professionalism. He is a great guy to work with and we recommend him as a broker without any reservations whatsoever. Outstanding.
Mike and Susan
Thoroughly enjoyed working with Chris. He's knowledgeable, very responsive, patient, and gets things done. He was involved at every step along the way, and was instrumental in helping us find the right property for us and making the deal happen with as little friction as possible. Highly recommend.
Kay Mooney
I found Chris through Zillow and based on his reviews decided to give him a call. From first speaking with Chris to closing on a property he was professional, knowledgeable, caring, thorough, prompt and honest. I look forward to working with Chris again and would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking real estate assistance. There are not many people who still give the quality of service and expertise as Chris. It was a pleasure working with him. Thanks Chris!
I am a Canadian and have recently purchased a condo, as in investment, in Bonita Springs. Chris was very good with prompt responses to all my questions prior to my trip down to view condos. He made the whole process simple and easy, and guided me through the purchase with confidence. I always felt that I was in good hands and would not hesitate to recommend him!
ROSANNE
Chris was great during the sale of our condo!! His use of internet marketing and local experience was instrumental in the sale. He was recommended to us by a family member and we definitely will recommend him to all our family and friends! We were very impressed by his knowledge, promptness, and professionalism. Additionally it was a comforting feeling to know our realtor Chris Spina truly cared about selling our home and sent weekly updates on the status, number of viewings, and other sales in the community. This really made us feel at ease since we were no longer living in the local area and knew we had left our home in his hands.
The Dearborns
I would recommend this agent to all of my friends and family, he is always available and is upfront and honest and will find out the information that you are looking for if he doesn't have it readily available, he is highly recommended and as a matter of fact we are looking for another property and Chris has already emailed us information and mls listings in our area and price range.You won't be disappointed by any means if you have Chris for your Agent.
Brenda Trzeciak Len Seeche
Early days yet but I've expressed an interest in property in Naples. For those properties I've requested more info or suggested the kind of price that would interest me, Chris has put my views forward to the vendor and come back to me with a response. I'm planing to go over to Naples late May and hope to meet up with Chris to move the project forward.
Steve Callaghan
My experience with Chris Spina from start to finish has been a pleasure. I went to see him for help with a short sale on my condo. Chris was always professional, understanding, helpful and accommodating. He listed my condo and guided me through the process, which was complicated. He was always available to talk and explain things to me. He returned phone calls promptly and answered questions honestly. I would not hestitate to recommend him to anyone for any real estate issues that they may have. He certainly lives up to his company's motto of "putting people first." He did an exemplary job from the very beginning to the very end.
Joan Tracy
Chris did an excellent job. He kept us informed and the whole process moving as fast as possible, and that was very important to my wife and myself. I would give Chris 2 thumbs up, and I fell my wife would also. Great job Chris and thank you from the both of us.
Manuel Chambers
If you're looking for an agent who'll be with you all the way, Chris is definitely your man. We reside outside of Florida. While shopping for a Florida home, we contacted Chris for his assistance and have not looked back since. Chris was there for us each and every time we had any questions and up until the consummation of the deal. He even went so far as to visit properties we saw on the internet from here in PA and took video footage for us so we'd have a better idea of what the properties were like. Presently, he's keeping an eye out for another home for us. We love the fact that he's totally intune with the real estate market in southwest Florida. Chris' service can be summed up in these words: Totally honest and professional! In our opinion, you won't find a better real estate agent than Chris Spina; Chris is a well-seasoned pro!
Ron
Chris is an outstanding agent who was recommended by a friend. He found the property for us and guided us through a complex bank repossession sale with an incredibly short time line. Chris is an great negotiator and through his intricate knowledge of the process saved us thousands in related costs. Based on his knowledge and recommendations I bought a great property at an unbelievable price. You can't go wrong with Chris.
We have one word to describe our experience with Chris Spina. Amazing! Chris Spina was consistently efficient, approachable, kind, honest and 100% available to us whenever we requested information, feedback and appointments. These qualities were very important to us because we were dealing with Chris from Michigan. We spent over a year researching and exploring our options from condominiums to houses. Chris' demeanor never fluctuated in that year. He remained patient and kind throughout our journey to find the right house/condo for our family. He allowed us to explore all our options without pressure! In December 2010, we closed on a beautiful vacation home near Estero Bay in Bonita Springs! "Paradise" as Chris would say and we agree! Through this process to find the right location we feel Chris' patience and honest approach lend us to remain engaged in the seeking process. We are truly enjoying our new vacation home, and we have Chris to thank for our successful search and find!

My husband and I have nothing but great things to say about Mr. Chris Spina!! We were first time home buyers with specific wants and needs. He was able to supply us with numerous listings that fit what we were looking for. He worked with us day after day until we were able to find the house that matched what we were wanting. He was able to give detailed explanations about what our journey would entail while going through our short sale closing process. He stuck by or side and not only helped when needed but made sure to go the extra mile.
Working with Mr. Spina allows you to take one thing off your plate of things to worry about and gives you a piece of mind. I would recommend him to everyone!!!
Bobi and Joe Demaline
Based on a strong recommendation from a friend and colleague, my husband and I chose Chris as our realtor when looking for a vacation home to purchase in Naples, Florida. Chris had expert knowledge on the area as well as on how to successfully purchase bank owned property. We gave Chris our requirements and closed on a beautiful villa a few weeks later. If you are looking to take advantage of record low prices in the Greater Naples area, call Chris today. You will be very glad you did!

Dear Chris,
Now that Linda and I are a bit more settled in our Georgia home, it is time to recognize what a truly outstanding job you did for us in selling our home in Naples, Florida.
The idea of a “short sale” was confusing to say the least. We were more than a little apprehensive about the whole process, especially considering the weak real estate market and the amount of money we owed the bank. You took the time to explain what we should expect at every step of the way in clear, understandable language and you were extraordinarily patient and caring, answering all of our questions in detail and addressing our many concerns.
In addition to being thorough and compassionate, you were right on the money about everything. You were right about how to price the house, what it would eventually sell for and approximately how long the process would take. Frankly, that has not always been our experience when dealing with real estate agents.
We had heard from many friends that a “short sale” can be a nightmare, but you made certain that things moved along smoothly and that we understood what was happening at every step. Your expertise, your honesty, your genuine thoughtfulness and your extraordinary attention to detail eliminated all of our anxiety. You solved every potential “problem” before it ever materialized.
We applaud you for being the very best real estate agent possible and we thank you for being such a warm, considerate person.
John & Linda Gleason
The Thomas Wards of wherever want those of you who are searching for a honest realtor to give Chris Spina a call. He provides a security that I found to be the number one most important anxiety level in dealing with long distance purchases/or selling of a piece of property
Tom and Alexis Ward
I want to thank you on behalf of the Robert Ingegnosi Trust for your professional and efficient assistance in the sale of Unit B-102 Bayside Villas of Naples, Florida. By finding a bona fide purchaser of the condo you were able to accomplish within a matter of weeks what the previous Realtor could not accomplish over the course of a year.
I particularly appreciated your diligence in keeping me informed of all details relating to satisfaction of the contract contiengencies from the date the contract was executed tothe time of close. Also important was your assistance in obtaining the necessary contractors to provide the required repair and services. I would certainly not hesitate to recommend you as a Realtor in the future
Theodore Liebovich
Attorney for the Robert Ingegnosi Trust
Recently, we decided to sell our condo in the Naples area. Living overseas and trying to make arrangements with a reputable Real Estate company is difficult. We were referred to Chris Spina, Realtor, with professional services in Naples and South Lee County, Florida. Chris and his staff were very concise and informative with all of the details in the sale. They took care of everything and kept us in touch every step of the way. When we needed some extra work done before the sale, Chris took care of it without any problems.
If were to buy property in the Naples area again, we would not hesitate to use Chris Spina. When you live five thousand miles away it is such a good feeling knowing your Realtor is looking out for you and keeping you informed. My hearty thanks and recommendation to a wonderful agency

We called Chris and he listed it and sold it in one week! Chris Spina and his team did selling our condo in Sterling Oaks last summer. Even though the market was soft and we were in the off-season, we had a large volume of traffic that we could not have predicted. We told Chris that our best-case scenario was to sell the property by August 1, and we got an acceptable offer on July 30! We both feel like our decision to ask him to sell the condo was a brilliant one for several reasons. First, he pulled it off! Second, he did it quickly, with a minimum of inconvenience. And, it was all done in a most professional manner, one that all parties could feel good about. I would certainly recommend Chris Spina to anyone who is selling a house or condo in the Bonita Springs/Naples area
Sincerely, Rick & Cindi Ervin
I am writing on behalf of Chris Spina. I want to say how good of a realtor he is. My house in Bonita Springs was for sale almost a year and we were beginning tp think that it would never sell, so we asked Chris to market our house. This was the best decision we made because within one month our house SOLD! Chris worked very hard to market our property and he kept in touch with us on a regular basis. We always knew what the status was on our home. This was important to us since we lived out of town."
"In addition to Chris Spina's hard work, he is such a friendly and trustworthy person and I would recommend him to anyone who wanted to sell their home. We are truly grateful to him and wish him the best!
Mary & Angel Tarabay
I am a licensed real estate professional myself and know how much work is involved with the successful sale of a listing. I was particularly impressed with the agressive way you marketed our home and with the constant stream of information we received from you during the process. Since we live 3 1/2 hours away, we needed some one we could count on to look out for our interests. I am pleased to say you were very diligent and trustworthy in that regard.
Your attention to detail and knowledge set you apart from the competition.
Sincerely, Don & Linda Bonnette
I still can hardly believe you sold my place in Fort Myers the week after it was listed. That has made me believe in miracles. I appreciated the way you kept in touch and let me know what was going on. You were really great and I don't know how to thank you enough. I would heartily recommend you to anyone needing a realtor as you would certainly get the job done."
Thanks again so very much!
Eleanor Anderson
In my years of business, I have rarely encountered a person so committed to serving a client. It is 2 years since I first found the property in Naples, which I ultimately bought. During all this time, you have handled the minutia and aggravation in a hundred situations. Without your having thrown your watch away and remaining focused on getting me into the home, I could never have closed on this property - 1300 miles from my permanent residence. I will forever be grateful for all your work
Walter Stark
My wife and I were pleased and satisfied with the efforts that Chris Spina put forth during the sale of our home. Since we no longer lived in the community, Chris handled nearly every detail of the process in a quick and professional manner. The net result was a sale within 60 days of a property that had been on the market through other listing efforts for almost a year. And we still got a very acceptable price.
Skip and Rosanne Moen
We feel fortunate to know Chris. His knowledge of both the residential and investment property market in the Naples/Bonita Springs area is outstanding. We were "East Coasters" for over 10 years, so we needed an agent who was willing to educate us. Chris spent a lot of time with us viewing, reviewing and viewing property again. This process can many times be unpleasant...but Chris made the "hunt" enjoyable and rewarding. We finally did buy and love the area we've settled in. He has become a trusted friend...and, we are pleased to recommend him!
Cary & Marie Hatton
If you are looking for a Realtor, we heartily recommend Chris Spina. When we first met Chris, our Wildcat Cove villa had been on the market for more than a year. "This is not a good time to sell in Sterling Oaks," we were told. If you are trying to sell your house, you have probably heard this. But Chris showed that there is no substitute for hard work and determination. In 45 days, he had two bona fide buyers, and two offers, for our house. We were happy to accept one of the offers and we will close on our house at the end of May. Throughout our association, Chris frequently called and e-mailed us with his plans and his progress regarding our house. When we left Naples to return to Michigan, he continued to work hard on our behalf. We very much enjoyed working with Chris, both for his professionalism and for his expertise. We are confident that your experience with him will be the same as ours has been
Ginny & Emmett Hayes
Coming down to Florida to shop for a new home can be an overwhelming task, especially given the wide variety of styles and amenities available. Our experience of working with a knowledgeable professional like Chris Spina has made our search much easier than expected. Chris's patience coupled with a friendly and enthusiastic manner allowed us to explore a wide variety of properties in a short period of time. Leaving no question unanswered, Chris thoroughly attended to all the details in the purchase of our new Florida home.
We are pleased to recommend Chris Spina for your real estate needs

After many years, dealing with other Realtors in the Southwest coast of Florida and not once receiving an offer of any kind, I finally found Chris to handle my Real Estate needs. Once Chris took over, he stayed with it looking for possible offers. The offers started coming and we sold our lots on Pine Island. Many thanks to you, Chris!
