My husband and I decided earlier this year that it was time to upgrade our property from a condo to a house and through numerous referrals/recommendations we reached out to Cristian for his help and expertise! After studying the housing market in Toronto, you almost have to mentally prepare for how savage it can be. You definitely want to feel confident going into selling/buying with an experienced and professional agent by your side. I really don’t have enough wonderful words in my vocabulary to describe the experience we had working with Cristian. He really is the epitome of amazing. He’s more than a real estate agent, during the whole process he was a friend, therapist and confidant.
Going into the experience, I was anxious to sell because the condo market had dropped and then as soon as we sold I was anxious to buy because the housing market was getting more competitive each day that passed by. Cristian kept reassuring me that we were going to sell high and buy low, we just needed to be smart, aggressive and quick! And he wasn’t exaggerating, because that’s exactly what we did! We had our condo photos taken on a Thursday, listed on a Saturday and sold in under 24 hours on the Sunday. His negotiation skills are outstanding, he sold our condo well over asking and got us a price that was over our expectations.
When it came to buying our dreamhouse, Cristian found it and made sure we got it! He brought us to a few listings, was always there early and knew all the details about the houses we were seeing. Naturally you discuss with your agent all the “needs” and “wants” in a house before you prepare to view them, throughout the process and all the house visitations, Cristian truly listens to you. As we were viewing houses, making comments on what we liked or didn’t like, he was making notes and was able to steer us in the right direction when new listings came up. He quickly learned what we wanted and didn’t want by simply observing and listening to us, it’s little things like this that make you feel comfortable and confident with who you’re working with. The house we ended up buying could not be more perfect. Cristian called us one Saturday afternoon and said he found the perfect house and that we need to see it asap. We dropped what we were doing, went to view the listing that evening and by noon the next day, it was ours! Cristian negotiated like a champ and secured our dreamhouse while keeping the price well-within our budget.
I’ve never worked with a professional like Cristian where I’ve felt so inclined to trust. I genuinely trusted that he always had our best interest in mind and when you’re making the biggest purchase of your life, you want this trust factor. Cristian is a natural born leader and a people person. His charisma is infectious and his charm makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. We had the perfect experience working with him, the only thing I would change is still being able to see him everyday before and after viewing listings together. I will be recommending and referring Cristian to everyone and anyone! If you’re looking for an agent, do not miss out working with Cristian Giangioppo. I promise you won’t regret it! You’ll go into the experience as acquaintances and come out as friends. He’s such a great young professional that will continue to be by your side, providing guidance for all your real estate needs. For all of our future needs, my husband and I can confidently say that we will only be working with Cristian.
