RELOCATION – UTAH
Me & my husband moved from Utah to Biloxi. I found Chris Lain by doing a basic Google search & I am so glad because I struck gold. Chris is a phenomenal real estate agent. When we came to visit Gulfport to start looking at houses, he took a whole day to drive us around to each house. He gave us valuable information about the different parts of each city & was extremely knowledgeable about each house. He showed us exactly the type of properties we were looking for & we found a house & put an offer in on it within days.
After putting the offer in, Chris was there with us every step of the way to make our transition as easy as possible. He even helped us find the lender & insurance we ended up using. He continues to stay in contact with us to make sure we have everything we need. Chris is absolutely amazing to work with and I would highly suggest anyone looking for a real estate agent in the area to contact him y
RELOCATION – ILLINOIS
We started communicating with Chris thru Zillow in September of 2024. We lived in Chicagoland area, and were looking to relocate after retirement. We met Chris a month later in Gulfport,, while in a mini-vacation. He was very tentative, and really listened, to our circumstances, and what we would be looking for in Southern Mississippi. Due to an injury, and other issues, it took us a little longer, than anticipated. He would stay in contact, but not pushy, to see how we were doing. He is truly a caring person first, and a realtor second. Well, after all of our lives obstacles, we were able to finally find our dream retirement home in Diamondhead. I truly mean this: if it wasn’t for Chris’s patience, guidance, and knowledge, we probably wouldn’t have bought a house today. We don’t know anyone in this area. But, I would, and will recommend Chris 1000% to anyone that wants to purchase, and let him listen and guide. Not sell you. He helps you!!!
RELOCATION – Rocky Mountains
Chris Lain worked with my son and I for our relocation to the Gulf Coast from the Rocky Mountains. His assistance was OUTSTANDING! Chris really listened to us about what we wanted and found many properties for us which fit our needs in the price range we could afford. He made himself available no matter where we wanted to "go look" and was always on time, well-prepared and well-versed in the many areas we looked. Chris is very patient, cheerful and positive and not "pushy" or judgmental. Not only did he facilitate our successful house search but once we closed on our Gulfport home, he didn't just "drop us " he went above and beyond our expectations in helping us get settled. Chris Lain has been pivotal in our successful integration in our community. What could have been a stressful and disappointing experience was, instead, enjoyable and hugely successful. Chris Lain is a credit to his profession and my son and I will be eternally grateful for his assistance.
