Reviews & Testimonials

"Working with Renee to purchase our new home was like working with family. She was very hands-on, took note of what we wanted for our family, and did a great job respecting our search parameters. When she advised us toward or against something, I always felt like she truly had our best interests in mind. Plus, once our sale finalized, a water issue came up with our new house, and when we called her for advice on how to proceed, she jumped right back in with us to help out. She reached out to other professionals who could help us assess and fix the problem. We felt fully supported, even though, technically, her job with us was finished, and I'm sure she had other active clients to focus on. I don't think you can go wrong by entrusting this team with your home buying endeavor! "

"Chris Whitney is the Best RE professional for me. Bought 2 homes; sold one with him. No one better. Thanks, Chris. "

"If you are looking to buy a house in the Carson/ Reno area I definitely recommend reaching out to Chris and Renee. We just bought our first house and was expecting the process to be somewhat stressful but they made it so easy. They walked us through each step of the home buying process and were readily available to answer any questions or concerns we might of had. I can not thank them enough for making our first time home buying experience so incredible."

"Renee helped me purchase a home recently. I contacted her well over a year ago, I was looking in Nevada while living in California. Our only contact was over the phone and via email. I kept looking at listings and she stayed in touch but nothing was quite right and I was never ready to pull the trigger. I give her kudos for sticking with me and not giving up thinking i was wasting her time. She connected me with an excellent loan broker who worked well with me and her. I went to Nevada in person and we toured over a half dozen homes and ended up making an offer on one that I didn't get. A few months ago she proactively went to a home that she thought was what I was looking for and gave a walk-through via FaceTime. After thinking about it for a few days we drove up to tour the house and ended up making an offer. We got the house. Renee stayed in constant communication with us via phone and text and email. I highly recommend her as a realtor with great communication and excellent customer service. Also excellent knowledge of the area we were looking in."

"We have worked with Chris in a couple of buying and selling transactions over the years. He has always been extremely helpful, easy to reach, and communicates all the necessary information quickly. He knows the market well and has made all of our real estate transactions easy. I would not use any other realtor in the Reno area as long as he is still working here"

"Chris worked with us on two buying transactions. Absolutely LOVE working with him. One transaction was super easy and smooth, second one was complicated (bizarre financing challenges) and very emotional (buying a dream home for us and our parents) They first one was smooth because Chris thought through everything, second one went through because he held it together. Practically speaking he is very knowledgeable, not aggressive with his clients, wonderful researcher (I kept obsessing with figuring out the right pricing), has a great reputation in Reno and is just a joy to be around. As the market gets more complex having something like Chris who knows the market extremely well, is a skilled negotiator and keeps your interests in mind will be paramount."

"Renee Whitney is a true professional. I have had a couple real estate transactions with her in the recent past. Renee is extremely knowledgeable about the entire process regarding buying, selling and best options for financing, etc...the whole package. All positive! Highly recommended!"

"Chris Whitney: The best realtor I have worked with. Knowledgeable: Knows the area & the market - accurate & timely responses to the numerous questions that come w/ a home sale/purchase. Loyal: Works tirelessly to ensure the customer gets exactly what they want in a home. Always has his customers best interest at heart. Results: Will do whatever it takes to get the sale finalized. A true professional - I was lucky to have him on my side!!!"

"After cutting the ties with a EXTREMELY long, painful bad experience with a different realtor. I dedicated an entire afternoon to find a realtor that can get the job done. After many phone conversations with many different realtors I discovered Chris Whitney. I was super impressed with his history in the business (check it out)- and after having a great phone conversation I decided to list. I was looking for someone who was self motivated, experienced, honest and able to COMMUNICATE. He seems to have a great grasp of current conditions of the housing market and I was very happy with his marketing plans/research. Typically Real estate is the biggest purchase/sell of your life and can be incredibly stressful. Stop looking, stop stressing....just call Chris."

"Can't recommend Chris and Renee enough! Chris is responsive, professional, personable and communicative. I live in another state and they helped me sell a condo in Reno that I inherited. Their extra services (like Renee's staging) and willingness to help me do some legwork really made a difference for me, and we got a great offer right away. Excellent service and a complete pleasure to work with."

"If you are moving from another state to Nevada, I highly recommend Renee Whitney. I chose her because of her Nevada residency. Coming from Texas, she met with my husband and I even though we were not sure of making the move. We had some homes and areas picked out. Renee took us to all the areas. She has patience and is very kind. Knowledgeable not only in real estate but in mortgages as well. She treated us with kindness and at no time was she ever pushy like some realtors. She cared about us and our decisions. For her, it was all about our happiness. It was never about making the sale. Good luck and go with Renee!"

"I refereed my friend's mom to Chris having had 2 other agents fail to successful sell her house. He has been very helpful and her property will soon close escrow, ( scheduled closing date is 10/19/2018). He was always in communication with her, guiding and explaining the process all the way, step by step. I will definitely refer my other clients to him."

"If you're looking to buy or sell a house do yourself a favor and call Chris. He made our buying process super simple and made sure we avoided any issues along the way. Chris helped us find the perfect house and made sure we got a good deal. Chris made the process so much less stressful and since we are new to the area his knowledge of the neighborhoods and markets was invaluable. I have and will continue to recommend Chris to my family and friends."

"Can't say enough good things about Chris. He has walked with us through the purchase of our brand new dream home from Lennar. From multiple trips to our home as it was built to walking thru it to catch any imperfections to coming to the closing. I highly recommend Chris and having your own realtor in buying a new construction or existing home. Thank you Chris for making this experience so enjoyable."

"Chris is an outstanding agent! We recently moved to the area from CA. Chris and his team made the process of looking for and purchasing a home here smooth and relatively stress free. His wealth of knowledge and expertise were invaluable us. He was also very patient and helpful with handling all the details that we couldn't due to distance. Thanks Chris!"

"Chris Whitney is the best Realtor in Reno! Chris was referred to me by my Mother in Law as he sold their home in Carson City. Due to a divorce, I was forced to sell my home. Chris made a very stressful time so much easier. His knowledge of the market is second to none. He is so very patient, understanding, knowledgeable and always responds so quickly. Our home was listed with great success as we had a full price offer within a week of the listing. The sale process and close of escrow went so smoothly because of Chris.

After selling my home, my family went through another tough time with the sudden and unexpected death of my uncle which resulted in my aunt needing to relocate to Reno from San Jose. There was only one person that I trusted to take care of my aunt during this trying time and that was Chris. He took so much time to find just the right home for my aunt. Knowing my aunt was purchasing a home from quite a distance, Chris was always available to take care of everything.

Chris is truly an amazing person, Realtor and friend. I highly recommend him for any and all of your real estate needs!"

"My husband & I live in the Bay Area and were looking this spring to purchase a home in Reno. Thank you Yelp and thank you Chris Whitney!!!

We are very happy to add to the super positive and glowing comments about Chris Whitney posted here on Yelp.

From start to finish, Chris made finding and completing the purchase of our new home a very smooth process despite a difficult housing shortage in Reno.

During this process we found Chris to be an excellent listener, a superb negotiator for the offer presented to the seller, and truly someone who would go the extra mile for you.

Since we closed, Chris has been extremely helpful with anything we have needed to be done on the property during the weeks before our move in date.

Look no further Chris Whitney is an exceptional real estate agent, and an exceptional person"

"After deciding to move from California to Nevada we were so very fortunate to find Chris Whitney with Dickson Real Estate. Chris really impressed us about how much he knew of the Greater Reno Area and the local projects and changes happening within, which was extremely helpful being from out of state. He stood in for us when we could not travel there for appointments, inspections, or whatever we needed he was there. Chris was great at communicating which kept everything moving forward and on time. This was a big deal in keeping our stress level at zero . Chris is also very versed in many aspects of the home purchasing processes including financing and closing, answering my many (many) questions about the process so I felt comfortable. We found a wonderful house and it was a multiple offer situation. But Chris used his negotiating skills and we got our forever home. We could not have done it without Chris!"

"Janay and I are Realtors based out of the Bay Area. We had close clients that needed to sell their 2nd home in Reno. We interviewed various agents in the area. We selected Chris based on his track record and professionalism. The home sold with a smooth and seamless transaction. Communication with us, and along with our clients was fantastic. I would recommend anyone to consider Chris as their agent in the Reno area."

"Mr. Whitney is a fantastic human being. He suffered through hours of my wife's never ending questions with a huge smile. He had a good answer for all our questions. His negotiation skills are second to none. He maintained immediate contact through the whole buying process. His expertise in the market was awe inspiring."

"I bought my 3rd condo in Reno. Mr. Whitney helped me through the process which was difficult since I am living in CA. He prepared all the paperwork promptly, emailed/called me to keep me in the loop. His negotiation skills are great and over time I really trusted him; the last 2 condos I bought completely "remote" with no surprises. When I needed a handyman or an AC guy he helped me as well. The buying experience was really great.
I dealt with several realtors but only a few are willing to go the "extra mile", but Mr. Whitney is clearly one of them."

"I have owned numerous houses in California and Nevada and dealt with many Realtors. Chris by far has been the best Realtor I have EVER had the pleasure to deal with. I had to sell my Mother's house quickly and Chris was able to get it sold in 2 days. He is very experienced, responsive and knowledgeable as the house was sold under a Family Trust and he was able to tell me what I needed and the transaction went extremely smooth. Chris was also able to get the highest price for my Mom's home.

If you are looking for a Realtor, he is your Man!"

"I can not be happier when I selected Chris Whitney as my real estate agent for the sale of my house in Reno, Nevada. From the onset until the sale is concluded, Chris conducted with the most business-like attitude, savvy, respect in representing the house to buyers. I can tell he has the years of experience in the real estate business. From the initial contact, comparison survey with colored houses similar to ours, the advertisement, photo gallery of the house, recommendations on how best to show the house, at least weekly update and feedback from prospective buyers, open house until we finally got a buyer. The negotiation went smoothly, contingencies settled and agreed on until we close the deal. Chris is very easy to talk to and guide you thru the process. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris to any of my friends and acquintances who will be selling or buying a house in the Reno area. I am very glad that I selected Chris."

"How to start, he is personable, well known in his industry and an amazing realtor. My fiancé and I had been looking for over 6 months and had gone through two other realtors. We had been getting listings from him and he personally checked in with me to see if my search criteria had changed, but never pushed to be my realtor. After the first two whom had been recommended by friends and were epic fails, we went with Chris; best decision ever. We were in contract two weeks later. Chris is not just a great realtor he is a wonderful amazing person that my fiancé and I are glad we met and will continue to befriend for years to come. Thank you!"

"Chris is the man! After already getting run around for 6 plus months w/ 2 other real estate agents and being locked into a dead end "short sale" for 90 days, Chris found us the perfect house with in a 2 wks and had us locked in and keys in hands 30 days later! What a breath of fresh air Chris was after a couple of poor experiences with previous agents! Chris has great vision and expertise that makes buying a home much less stressful and and much more enjoyable. He found us a house and helped make it our home! Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thanks Chris!"

"Chris Whitney sold our house recently and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and service we received. He gave us great advice and guided us every step of the way. Thanx to his expertise and enthusiasm, our house was only on the market for a short time before we sold it. He kept us informed and assisted us through the entire process from the initial listing to the closing. He is, without question, the best realtor we've ever had the pleasure to be associated with. We're taking a break from home ownership for awhile to enjoy the full-time RV lifestyle, but when we're ready to buy another home in the future, there is no doubt that we will hire Chris to find just the right home for us."

"Once again, Chris is the man! We decided to purchase a small house in Reno and Chris made every step in the process simple and easy. It was a wonderful experience that I wish everyone buying a home could have. You can - if you use Chris!"

"I would highly recommend Chris Whitney to anybody looking to buy or sell real estate in the Reno/Sparks area. He is very knowledgeable, and makes the process very easy, with little to no interruption to your schedule. He is very practical and easy going, and a very easy person to talk with. I would strongly recommend him to anybody and will be telling all my family and friends about him! Thanks so much Chris!"

"My boyfriend and I are young first time home buyers. Chris is very kind and passionate about his clients. He was with us every step of the way and helped is with every question and anything else we needed. He made our experience go very smoothly and was problem free. Hearing about other peoples home buying experience made us a little nervous but we had the best experience and wouldn't recommend anyone else other than Chris Whitney. Thank you so much Chris for everything you did for Garrett and I."
