About me.............
Chris has been a licensed Realtor, associated with the Pino Agency since 1993. Initially Chris served in the role of office secretary/processor in order to gain specific knowledge of the inner-workings of a Real Estate office. After attending a few seminars, Chris decided to focus on residential Real Estate and transferred to being a full-time agent with the Pino Agency. She quickly became one of the agency's most productive agents, with an eye on education and new ideas.
In 1996, Chris obtained her NJ broker's and became the manager of the Pennsville Pino Office. Her duties included recruiting new agents, training, supervising & staffing, among other things. Chris has personally worked in each and every aspect of the Real Estate office. In 2012, Chris returned to her first love in Real Estate, which is sales. She will be focusing on listing properties and providing guidance on residential energy savings trough a new affliation with Viridian Energy Supply.
In addition to these items, Chris continues to educate herself through national Real Estate teachers and organizations, obtaining the Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR) & Graduate of Real Estate Institute (GRI) designations. She has recently been awarded the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation. She will now be working on the GREEN designation.
In 2005, Chris received the designation of Certified Negotiation Specialist (CNS) from Coldwell Banker. Additionally, Chris attended Act II Triple Crown for Leadership Training, as well as Act III Coaching Calisthenics, both offered by Coldwell Banker University. Also in 2005, Chris was awarded the coveted "Peer Appreciation Award" by the members of The Gloucestor/Salem County Board of Realtors for 'displaying ethical, courteous and professional interactions to her fellow REALTORS.'
She has been the top-producing agent in the Pino Agency for several years and has ranked in the top 10 Realtors in Salem County for just as long. She has been a consistent recipient of The NJ Sales Excellence Award for the Bronze and Silver levels since 1997. Also, Chris has obtained recognition by Coldwell Banker by receiving the Sterling and Diamond Awards. In her quest to constantly and consistently improve her Real Estate Services, she attended Star Power University's Team of Training in Los Angeles in September 2003. Additionally, Chris attended Star Power University 's Listing Specialization Class in 2005, held in Charlotte, NC.
Chris places a heavy emphasis on community service and involvement. The Pennsville Public Library is near and dear to her heart and she has served on the Board for 18 years, initially as Secretary and currently as The President of the Board of Trustees. In addition to supporting the Pennsville Public Library, Chris and her team also are involved with the Pennsville Education Foundation, The Women's Club of Pennsville, March of Dimes, Alex's Lemonaide and many other community organizations. In 2008, she founded The Pennsville Business Association, a growing network of local businesses in Pennsville, NJ.
2005 to 2009, Chris, along with Broker Joseph F. Pino hosted a weekly radio show called, "The Real Estate Corner" on WSNJ AM radio in Millville and Vineland, NJ and in 2011, they formed "The South Jersey Real Estate Academy" in order to fill a missing gap of Real Estate education in Salem County.

What I do.........
I specialize in residential Real Estate in South Jersey, mostly practicing in Salem County, Gloucester County and Cumberland County. I have been in business, associated with the Coldwell Banker Pino Agency, since 1993. I believe very strongly in giving back to my hometown community and have chosen to do so by leading the Board of Trustees of The Pennsville Public Library, as it's President, serving on the Pennsville Economic Development Committee as it's Vice Chairman, founding the Pennsville Business Association and serving on the Pennsville Woman's Club as Membership Chairman.
I encourage consumers to research and interview the Real Estate professionals they may choose to hire, focusing on determining who has the experience, the ideas, the drive and the creativity to market and sell property in this ever-changing market. As W. Clement Stone said,
"When an adult makes a decision, it is likely to be foolish or sound, depending on his past experiences in coming to decisions. For the little things that are good ripen into big things that are good. And the little things that are bad ripen into big things that are bad. And this applies to decisions.
But good decisions must be followed through with action. Without action, a good decision becomes meaningless, for the desire itself can die through lack of an attempt to achieve its fulfillment. That's why you should act immediately on a good decision."
And that is my purpose: To help you make good Real Estate Decisions!
Testimonials.............
"I would have been a horrible wreck without your wisdom and guidance." ~ Krystal
"Thank you for your guidance and patience." ~ Laura
"Thank you for all that you did for me and my family." ~ Kathy
"Chris is the most personable, talented, committed person I have met. We have been through 3 other agencies to try and sell our home, with no luck. She has done more for us in the 3 months since we listed with her than all of the time combined with the other agents. We truly feel that she cares about us and will sell this house. There should be more agents out there like her." ~Angela
