Meet Cris.

My love of family, a sense of what makes a home and, a lifetime of Canberra living, provides a strong foundation to bring my 20 years of creative digital and traditional marketing experience to real estate. I understand that buying and selling a home and choosing a community to call home can be overwhelming. I can make this easier for you by providing a professional, honest and personalised service, delivered with the backing of the creative marketing methodology that has made home.byholly arguably the most successful boutique agency in the country.

I can’t speak more highly of Cris and Holly. Their professionalism, warmth and attention to detail was second to none and made the sales process smooth and stress free. The ladies did a wonderful job of show casing my home for sale and achieved the result I was looking for. I would not hesitate to recommend Cris and Holly to any one looking to buy or sell their home.

Pam34 Buller Crescent, Palmerston

I would like to say thank you so much to Cris for all her help during our recent house purchase.

Cris was always friendly, enthusiastic about the property and professional. Cris knew her market and was a strong advocate for the sellers, which I though was great to see. I think we got a good buy (love the place) and the seller got a good sale. Everyone was happy.

Cris was in constant touch with us as the purchase/sale progressed, and always returned phone calls and provided regular updates on how things were going. We felt in the loop at all times.

Cris’s warmth and enthusiasm for her work is wonderful.

It was truly an enjoyable experience working with Cris and I can strongly recommend anyone looking to sell, you could not do better than Cris and the team at Home by Holly.

Diana and Panama3 Kerford Street, Watson

Cris is such a beautiful soul. She was so lovely and supportive throughout the whole selling process. She will do everything in her power to get you the result you want and more. she is always contactable and we loved working with her. Can’t recommend her highly enough xx

Kristy17 Bunton Place, Holt

We were very happy with the outcome that Home by Holly achieved with the sale of our house. It was a very specific house within the reach and appeal of a small number of buyers, but we were able to reach a sale more rapidly than we expected. Dealing with Holly and Cris was always pleasant, professional and personal, and they were responsive to our calls and queries, so it was a pleasure to work with them.

Keith and Gillian67 Roma Mitchell Street, Watson

Selling a home is a significant event which can be scary and daunting. However having Cris as our agent has made the experience a lot easier and a lot more pleasant! Cris is the epitome of someone who is good at their job and is passionate about what they do.

I felt completely comfortable with contacting Cris with any question or concern I may have. Nothing is too troublesome for her and she will go to great lengths to help facilitate the selling process.

She treats both us the sellers and all potential buyers with great honesty and respect.  I would be happy to recommend Cris to my family and friends.

Ebin and Ratanak7 Merfield Place, Giralang

Thanks to Cris’s expertise, the entire process, from my first point of contact to the closing of the sale, unfolded smoothly and efficiently. What I also appreciated about Cris was her sincerity, friendliness and exceptional communication .  Cris not only found a buyer for my property within 2 weeks of listing, she also negotiated a fantastic price for me! I was just so pleased with the result. If you’re in search an agent to help you sell your property, l can highly recommend Cris at Home by Holly.
