Chris Puryear

"When I first met Chris, he turned me on to a mortgage lender that saved me a thousand dollars at closing through a special program available to veterans. Once I had my pre-approval letter in hand, he was able to show me several options in my price range and area of town that would have fit my tastes and needs. Chris took the time to understand what I was looking for and he found the perfect home for me in no time at all. He was there for me throughout the process to ensure that everything went smoothly, and we even got to close a week early! I highly recommend Chris to anyone who in the market for a new home in the Richmond area- hes the realtor you want at your side.

I encourage you to choose Chris Puryear as your realtor for your next move. Chris worked extremely hard for us, walking us through a very difficult and lengthy short sale process with confidence, persistence and clear communication. He found a buyer for our home within the first week, wrestled with two separate banks (our mortgage was split) to try and reach an agreement for the sale that satisfied our need to exit the home without incurring significant debt (we were underwater by $40,000). Though short sale was ultimately denied (due to our lender's intransigence), Chris helped us explore and pursue alternatives concluding in a successful traditional sale earlier last year. Chris is honest, straightforward, knows his business well, takes initiative, and always seeks alternatives when initial options fall through. He always took the time to quickly return my call or text, and never once left me feeling like I was a low priority. If you want to sell or buy a home use Chris to serve you.

As a first time home buyer, Chris was such a blessing to us. We found Chris through his relationship with our bank, USAA. Chris walked us through the entire home-buying process (a few times) before we looked at our first house. By doing this, we had an idea of what we were going to experience before we even started the bulk of the process. Chris was extremely patient (I'm quite picky) with me and my husband and listened. He worked with our budget. He took us to a few houses and found our perfect starter house on our first day house-hunting. Once we had found the house of our dreams, Chris stayed with us to make sure we locked in. In the meantime, Chris even negotiated an agreement with the seller where we could rent the house of our dreams while we were restarting the mortgage process (thus ensuring that we wouldn't lose our house that would surely be sold if it went back on the market). Chris went above and beyond for us and we will absolutely use him again in the future.
