"Though we were excited about our new adventure, it was rapidly becoming a nightmare.

It was hard enough finding a home that met our needs and nearly impossible to find it located in the area we wanted to be in.

It took over 6 months but Cheryl didn?t care. She didn?t want us to just settle. She wasn?t satisfied with just selling us a house. She wanted to and made sure she sold us paradise.

Because of her enduring, unwavering, generous spirit, we feel like we are living in heaven here on earth and we couldn?t be happier."

"We recently bought our first home with the help of Eric Smith and the team at Bob Christian & Associates. After one afternoon of showings, Eric had developed a good idea of what we were looking for (even though we hadn't!) and found us a house on the second day that was perfect. After making the offer, we had to complete the rest of the process from half way across the country. With Eric's assistance, we got through it all without a hitch. We would wholeheartedly recommend the Bob Christian team to anyone buying or selling a house in Katy or West Houston!"

"My husband and I began working with Bob Christian & Eric Smith when my company decided to relocate me and my family to the Houston area from Colorado. I spoke with Bob on the phone and right away felt assured we would be well taken care of. We flew out from Colorado and immediately Eric spent 3 long days with us trying to help us find "our dream home." My husband and I could not make up our minds on several issues such as what part of Katy we wanted to live in, if we wanted new construction or an older home, the price range we wanted to stay in, etc. Eric was very patient with us throughout the whole process. He was willing to look at as many houses as we needed in order for us to find "the one." We had to wait until our house sold in Colorado before making the move to Texas and this took a few months. We received an offer on our home, but the buyer wanted a quick closing date which only gave us a few weeks. We had to quickly jump on a plane and fly down to find a new home. Eric set aside 3 1/2 days just for us, and knowing we had a short amount of time he found homes that were ready for move in. I can not count how many homes we walked through, and the whole time Eric did it with a smile on his face. Eric was not only experienced with the housing market in the Katy area, but he was also very knowledgeable about other important things including the best places to eat, shop, etc. We found our dream home thanks to Eric Smith & Bob Christian. We hope to never move again, but if we do we know who to call!"

"Having purchased 6 homes in 5 states over the last decade, we are here to tell you the Bob Christian & his associates are hands-down THE BEST. My wife & I plus our two elementary school aged children relocated from North Carolina last year. Based on my work location & the quality of schools, we knew that we wanted to live in Katy before we arrived. Scouring the internet we came across FinerHomesOfKaty.com. What a great resource!!! There was no doubt that we wanted to meet with Bob. From the first moment he made us extremely comfortable. To make a long story short, Bob helped us sign a contract on a home being built in Cinco Ranch, and 3 months later he helped us get out of that contract due to our concerns with the quality of construction that we were witnessing. Losing a home that we had your heart set on was tough, but Bob helped us to remain patient and ultimately he found us a resale home within the following month. The transaction was not smooth, but Bob's persistence helped pull it through, and again, his sense of calmed really helped. The house that we purchased is absolutely PERFECT for our family! We cannot thank Bob and his team enough!"

"I began working with Cheryl Nelson with Bob Christian & Associates last year. Cheryl immediately took the time to ask us specific questions about our home and neighborhood preferences so that she could find us the perfect home. Within a few days, she contacted us with potential homes suited to our needs. She set up appointments to visit the homes at our convenience. In fact, she actually waited at our new home while the inspection took place in our absence. She also gave us helpful home buying tips as far as property and resale value is concerned. Unfortunately, the closing was scheduled at the exact same time as our family vacation so she helped us set up power of attorney. Cheryl was always looking out for our best interest. She went above and beyond in everyway. I would reccommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. "

"When I started looking for a home in Katy, Texas, I was assigned to Cheryl Nelson with Bob Christian's Team at Coldwell Banker. From the time I met Cheryl, I knew she was a professional and as time passed, that was confirmed 100%. In my mind, I had an idea of what the perfect house would look like and my tedious journey began. Even though I was probably too particular and had high expectations and even though I looked at well over 50 houses, Cheryl was always pleasant, always maintained a sense of humor and always made me feel like a special client. On several occasions when I couldn?t get away from work, she viewed the houses for me, knowing my tastes and preferences and then reported back to me as to whether I should take time to view a listing. As a single mom, she urged me to look up neighborhood statistics so I would feel safe and secure in each area. I am confident that Cheryl makes life long friends through her relationship with her clients. She genuinely cares for people and strives to serve them in a professional manner. These attributes demonstrate why Cheryl is so proficient as a real estate expert. Bob is extremely lucky to have her on his team!"

"Early this year my wife and I, who were living in San Diego, CA, decided to move to closer to my family in Texas. We were referred to Bob Christian & Associates with Coldwell Banker to help us find a house in Houston by USAA's Movers Advantage. Bob did all he could to provide us listings of available homes in the location and price range we were seeking.

Unfortunately, we could not sell our home in San Diego and had to change our plans; we decided to rent our house out. Now we needed to rent a home and quickly. Bob was very understanding and offered assistance in finding a house for lease here in Katy. Bob hand-selected one of his agents, Cheryl Nelson, who explained the process thoroughly to us and also provided us a number of listings. Within a week we found a home within our price range and at the right location.

During the week of our move, Cheryl took care of the paperwork, did an inspection of the house and collected the keys; everything was taken care of when we arrived. This was undoubtedly the easiest move we ever had (and we've had a few.)

When we finally sell our California home and start looking to purchase one locally, my choice for a Realtor is simple; Bob Christian & Associates."

"My wife and I plus all of our 9 children were transferring from Oklahoma to Houston. I came to Houston by myself to look for a home and that was when I met up with Eric from Bob Christian's office. We were looking for a home big enough to fit our kitchen table (a table for 11 people). The hard thing about that is, we wanted it in the breakfast nook part of the kitchen. Eric had taken me house hunting for 3 weekends and we looked at over 50 homes. I was ready to throw in the towel when the very last home we went into was the house we needed. The house was just what we were looking for with a 15x13 breakfast area big enough for our table, plus enough room for my entertainment center and big screen TV in the living room. It also had a walk-in pantry in the kitchen with room to grow. The best thing was during closing Eric held our crying infant while we signed the contracts, what a trooper. Thanks again Eric!"

"We first contacted Bob Christian & Associates with Coldwell Banker a few months prior to our move to Katy Texas. Being out of state, we found their website to be helpful for researching neighborhoods and homes in the West Houston/Katy area. Our agent, Cheryl Nelson, sent us many home listings by email with properties that she thought may been interesting to us. During our house hunting trip, Cheryl spent many long hours with us, seeing a lot of homes in our short available time. In the end we found the home that suits our needs at a price we could afford. Cheryl took care of a myriad of inspections, schedules, and other details prior to and including closing on the house. Cheryl Nelson and Bob Christian & Associates worked hard to find the right home for us, and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a home in this area."

"Eric Smith of Bob Christian & Associates showed us 7 homes one day and we bought the seventh one. Yes, it was that easy. Let me elaborate. Actually he showed us around for a few hours when we came in from North Carolina and he helped us get our bearings. With the internet tools he gave us, we went back to North Carolina and searched online while we were selling our home. I would search online in the mornings sitting in my pajamas while I drank my coffee. I would show the day's picks to my husband at night. By the time we were ready to come back we knew exactly what we wanted and where we wanted to be. Three days after our home sold, we flew back to Houston, looked at the 7 houses we had picked and bought one. We saved so much time and useless driving around. It really worked out for us. This has to be the smoothest real estate transaction in history. We are so happy with our new home and neighborhood! Thanks to Eric for educating us about the area. It really made our house hunting simple."

"Bob helped us sell our house quickly and he also helped us find our new home. We could not have been any happier with the service. Bob, Eric and the rest of the staff worked great as a team. They are definitely "top professionals that truly care!" They communicated with us every step of the way. They constantly made sure we were satisfied and that we were "all on the same page". They really know the business, and we felt very lucky to end up with top of the line Realtors. What could had been a very stressful time in our life, they made it a very pleasant one!
We will be grateful forever!"

"Our experience with Bob Christian & Associates has been nothing but wonderfull! From the first time that we spoke to them on phone, they wanted nothing more than to get us into the right house that met our needs. Since we have moved quite a bit, we already knew what we were looking for in a home. From the beginning, Eric took very copious notes and weeded out everything down to the smallest fact that we didn't want Berber carpet. Once we arrived in Katy from Knoxville, TN, Eric was ready and willing to show us everything Katy had to offer. He was very patient with us and our three small children. We found a wonderful home and one we hope to stay in for quite a while. We also found a friend in Eric. The most amazing thing is that he is not in the business just to sell houses. He takes great pride in what he does and in making sure that everyone is well taken care of. For this, we are truly grateful. Eric, Bob and the rest of the team are top notch professionals and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a Professional Realtor."

Robin & Jason Duke
"We enjoyed working with Cheryl Nelson and Bob Christian so much! Without them, we would have not been able to find our "Dream Home" northwest of Katy. Cheryl's knowledge of country property and what is involved in finding that "perfect home on acreage" really impressed us. She and Bob were able to answer all of our questions as well as guide us in unfamiliar territory. They were so patient with us and surpassed our expectations of what a Realtor is supposed to do for a client. Working with Cheryl and Bob felt more like working with friends than with business partners. "Thank you" just doesn't seem to say enough for all that they have done for us. We will gladly continue to share their names with everyone we know.

"We recently moved to Katy from North Carolina and didn't know anything about the area. We were immediately put in contact with Eric Smith with Bob Christian & Associates who gladly showed us around Katy time and again. With all of the differences between here and North Carolina, it took a lot of time and effort to learn all the ins and outs of the area. Eric took the time to listen to our wants and needs, then proceeded to show us around. After countless emails, showing us many houses, and many hours of his time we finally found a home that fit our needs. I would definitely recommend Eric to anyone who asked me about a good Realtor in the Katy, TX area! "

"Our family was recently informed that we were to be transferred to Katy, Texas with little notice. We immediately started surfing the internet for real estate in the Katy area and found the Bob Christian and Associates website at www.FinerHomesofKaty.com. We found this web page to be more friendly and more informative than the others that we had tried while searching for our home. We contacted the agency and Eric Smith immediately started assisting us in finding a home. We made two trips to the Katy area during our search and were very pleased with the excellent service that Eric provided to us. We are now so pleased with our new home and are loving the Katy Area. Thank you Eric Smith and Bob Christian for making our family's relocation as painless as possible. "

"I had purchased a home in The Woodlands area that was much too large for me. Bob came out and viewed the property and I knew right then that I was in great hands. Bob's expertise allowed me to make some adjustments in the presentation of the home and soon enough, the home had sold. It is now being enjoyed by it's new owner. I recommend Bob devoutly and he is always the name I mention when I hear of anyone looking to buy or sell! "

"What and awesome Realtor and friend! If there is anything that you need to know about Real Estate, Bob either knows or will get the answer for you. We are currently relocating to either Austin or the New Braunfels area and so Bob has set us up with Realtors at both locations so we could find exactly what we needed. If you need a great Real Estate agent, Bob is there to help!"

"We were ready for a new home, but had no idea where to start.
What type of home, new construction or not? If new, what style? What builder?
What area of town? What about the taxes and schools in the area? There were so many things to consider, and so many that didn't even cross our mind. Thank goodness Bob was there to listen to our needs, and guide us through the home buying process. He was with us every step of the way. We were greatly impressed with his knowledge, experience, and dedication. We are now in the home of our dreams! Thank you Bob!"

"I have really enjoyed dealing with Bob Christian as an agent. His work ethic and character are as solid as I have ever come across. When you add his easy to use web site into it, you have every home buyers wish list. Using his web site I was able to search for the exact kind of house I was looking for and in the areas I desired. I found it very useful and reassuring to know that I did not have to rely on someone else to show me only what they wanted me to see. I could search for what interested me and then ask Bob to arrange a time for me to view the property. This is the best service that I have ever received from a real estate agent. "

J.C. & Suzanne Herndon
"I have bought, and sold real estate for 55 years in the U.S as well as Mexico. Bob Christian is by far the best real estate agent I have ever dealt with. I have never had an agent point out defects in homes that I was considering buying before. It is like he has the same vested interest in a piece of property that you do. He goes out of his way to meet your needs. We are currently looking for a home in Houston, and will be selling a home in Katy. I would never consider using another agent. I highly recommend Bob to be your agent whether you are buying or selling."
