She’s like a bloodhound,
if it’s out there,
she will find it!

“I should have called Chris first to sell my house. I wasted a whole year on the market by using a realtor who overpriced it. Chris was accurate & honest regarding the price. I was totally impressed with her knowledge, attitude and personality. To this day, I know my home sold as well and as fast due to the work she did and her suggestions. Thank you, Chris!!”
-Alyssa Irizarry

We needed to sell our house in a hurry without sacrificing price. Chris Nolan was the answer.
She put it up one day and we were signing the contract the next day. Chris was right on the price & also the tips she gave us to get the house marketable. Besides being very knowledgeable, she is also a very pleasant person to work with. She really did her homework!.

August, 2010
We had our investment property (rental house) listed for sale with another agent for 3 months. She came recommended to us and was supposedly a top producer with over 25 years experience.

We believed from the start that it was overpriced but we listed it at the price the agent recommended. It was never shown once and we got absolutely no feedback or
communication. In fact, we never saw or met the agent. We live 35 miles from her
office and our rental property, so she mailed to us the listing paperwork.

After we withdrew the listing we called Chris Nolan to view our property and give us
her opinion, market analysis and what she would do to sell it. She came to our house to meet with us. She was very helpful and made recommendations to make our house more valuable and more saleable. We hired her because of her professionalism,
her willingness to go out of her way and that she told us what we needed to hear.
She did whatever needed to be done. She kept us updated and best yet,
We had two very good offers in less than two weeks!
Sincerely,
-Barbara and Harold Albury

Thank you, Chris, for all your hard work! I was skeptical in using someone that I had never met, but as soon as I spoke with you I knew you would do a great job, and you did! You always kept me updated & it became very evident that your work ethics were superb! Thank you for going above & beyond for us. You are a great asset to the Coldwell Banker company.”

Dear Manager,
I thought of several ways to begin this letter, all of which seemed so conventional & trite, when what I really want to say is, Chris Nolan ROCKS! I discovered Chris online through a Google search for Metairie Realtors, and am I ever glad I did. I wanted to write to you & express my appreciation for Chris and the job she did for us.

Our home was an older home, only 2 bedrooms in a predominantly 3-4 bedroom neighborhood; we had paneling & dogs. Like other sellers, we were in a definite time crunch because we were building a new home on the north shore & had to have this house sold before we could get loan approval for our new home. We fully expected our house to sit on the market for several months, at which time we would accept a substantially lower-than-asking-price offer just to sell it; in fact, we knew we were looking at several months, so we started the process in June, just to give ourselves a little time before school started to get it all going. Chris, however, determined early on that we were going to sell it fast and at a great price, and she worked like a fiend to make sure it happened. She helped us set a competitive price for our home, keeping in mind our need for a fast sale, but also making sure she knew what we really hoped to get out of the home monetarily.

The first day our home was available for showing, Chris arranged for eight prospective buyers to come through; she contacted other Realtors who had clients looking for homes, and told them of our listing. This made it really convenient for me, as I got the house ready, put the dogs in the car for an afternoon’s drive, and by the time I got home, many people had already seen the house. She had such a good strategy and worked so carefully that even late that same night, at 10:30 p.m., a prospective buyer came through (he’s the one who ended up buying our home.) I suspect Chris was working the phones solidly during that time, letting the other Realtors know that we had offers and if they wanted to put one in, they better get their clients on the ball! The end result was that after only one day of showing, we had five offers (all at asking price or above), and ended up accepting one for above our asking price! To say we were thrilled really doesn’t do it justice. Some folks have questioned if we set the price too low (I guess they’re just looking for something negative to say!), but I know from the list prices and length on the market of other homes for sale in my neighborhood that Chris just hit the right pint; through this, she was able to set up (in her words) a real “feeding frenzy” that worked in our favor.

In addition to being a savvy business woman, Chris is a classy and genuinely nice lady, even when other people we met during this time acted in a less-than-polite or less-than-professional manner, she never lost her cool, and maintained a friendly and conciliatory demeanor. I respect her ethical approach to business and feel that her honesty is a real strength. I always felts comfortable that she had my best interests at heart, and would give me good practical advice. She knew all the ins and outs of the process and paperwork, and was always there if I had a question or concern.

In short, I feel that my experience with Chris (and through her, with Coldwell Banker) was one of the most positive I have had. Selling a home is a stressful time, and Chris’s knowledge, hard work, and friendly nature made it a lot easier. I would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking a realtor, they will not do better. Congratulations to your company on such a fine representative, and thanks to Chris for a job done well past the point of our expectations.

Sincerely, Meg Hulley Frazier, PhD ( a MOST satisfied customer)

Chris found the perfect house for me!
-Charles Mulkey

Chris is definitely one in a million. After many bad experiences with many other real estate agents, I thought I would never find one with integrity and professionalism until I purchased my new home with Ms. Nolan’s help. She went above & beyond, taking care of every detail, making the process as smooth as possible.
Thank you, Chris….
-Jamayra & Frankie Casiano

Our recent experience with Chris was excellent. Buying your first home can be very stressful; luckily we had Chris to make the whole process as simple as possible. She was very professional, knowledgeable and always available to help us and answer our questions. When it comes time to move again, she will definitely be the first agent we call.
-Ashleigh & Kevin Griffin

When my husband and I found out that we would be relocating out of state we asked our local Coldwell Banker Realtor if she could provide a reference. She checked out the Realtors in the area we were considering and recommended Chris Nolan based on her credentials and a conversation she had with her concerning our needs.

Sure enough, Chris meets the reputation for excellence. She spent hours on the phone and by email with me to feel out our tastes, personality, and desires. Because of her diligence, I grew to trust her judgment completely and we arranged a house hunting trip.

Before we arrived Chris personally checked out the houses, selected the one that she thought was right, and negotiated a great deal. As soon as we arrived in the neighborhood, saw the house, and walked inside, I knew it was everything that we could possibly hope for. It truly was perfect and spared us countless hours of driving around and walking through houses.
We immediately sealed the deal.

We moved here without knowing a soul and because of Chris we feel completely at home here. Because not only did she select the perfect house and neighborhood, but she went the extra mile. Chris shared her knowledge of the community by giving us tours and pointing out the
local church, bank, dry cleaners, grocery, and great restaurants. She kept in touch with us throughout the move and answered questions and gave recommendations.

I encourage anyone that is buying a house in the area to contact Chris Nolan. I recommended her to a colleague and she gave them the same professional, patient, personal service that resulted in them obtaining a house that they also love. Thank you Chris for making our wishes come true!

Sincerely, Pitt and Cheryl

Chris sold our house the first day!
-Jeca & Albert Smith

Chris Nolan, the fastest agent in town, she sold our house before the sign even went up. Here’s to you, Chris.
This Bud’s for you!
-Rhonda & Keith Russell

Chris sold my property for 98% of our asking price! She definitely knows the market. She is on top of every detail, knows when & how to be aggressive to get the job done properly but she is not PUSHY…not like a lot of the piranas in real estate I’ve known! She truly had my best interest at heart and I can’t speak highly enough of her work.
-Mary Jane Butera

Chris exceeded our expectations of going the extra mile. Chris made our concerns &
demands of what we wanted in a home her
priority. Her job became very delicate when it came down to negotiation time. However, she masterfully played mediator with a successful result. We are now the proud owners of a
wonderful home that affords everything we have every wanted.
-Lisa & Michael, River Ridge

We should have called Chris first! We were unhappy with the service from the first agent and extremely happy with Chris’ outstanding perforesssionalism, courtesy & responsiveness. In a month she found a buyer!
-Dr. Lee and Sarah Roether, Oak Harbor

Chris is the best! Our home sold in less than 2 days at full asking price! Her experience
& wealth of knowledge provided us with
the information necessary to prepare the home for its debut on the market. In less than 24 hours of our broker/agent open
house we had two offers.
We are very pleased and would strongly
recommend Chris for your real estate needs.
-Julia & Jim

“Chris had a great balance of offering professional advice without pushing us. She is genuinely interested in what is best for her client. She is very knowledgeable of the pros & cons of all communities within the New Orleans area. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone considering buying or selling a home in the New Orleans area.”
-Bob Walker, VP & Site Director, Dow Chemical

“Chris did everything humanly possible to gain our trust & sell our home. The market was not doing well & things were not selling but Chris was there every weekend holding open houses after saying open houses do not sell a home. She worked day, night & weekends and sold our house in a short period. We did not think she could do it. Chris is a wonderful agent. We should have hired Chris first!”
-Mike & Rivera Hoggatt

“I’ve had dealings with a few agents in the past, but Chris is the best by far. She got for me more than I ever dreamed of & never have I seen someone work so tireless & diligently in all my life and for this I thank her & your firm.”
