We visited Wilmington several times, exploring the various developments and home styles. Chris was patient and generous with his time, shared expert knowledge of each development, and was an excellent tour guide of the area. In all phases leading up to and including the purchase of a model home, Chris was present and transparent. All questions were fielded promptly and he made us feel like his only client. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris to a friend, as I know they would be in good hands! Like many others who have had the pleasure of working with Chris, our business relationship quickly matured into a lasting friendship.
