Christine Garus Reviews & Testimonials
What a great experience this has been! It started by off calling to the Boldt Reality Teams office after getting several recommendations from locals in St Catharines. I was then transferred to Christine Garus. As a first-time property buyer/investor I was unclear of the process and where to begin. I was nervous as well as anxious and after talking with Christine for the first time, I knew my dream of being a property owner/investor would be possible.
Christine was consistent through out the whole process; she would send me properties daily that she knew fit my needs and budget. When viewing each property (which was many) Christine was patient and very knowledgeable on what to look for and if there were any red flags and teaching me along the way. Her creative mind set help me to see the potential each property could have.
With such a competitive market I was starting to lose faith that I would be able to find a property I was looking for within my price range. Christine never gave up on me and kept me encouraged through this whole process. With her many contacts we were able to finally find a property that checked all the boxes I needed.
The entire time she was always there to take my calls and texts and help me get a better understanding of the closing process and keep me well updated. Not only did I find the property I was looking for, I found great contacts along the way that I can call my new friends. Thank you so much for all the help and support guiding me through this whole process.

Our family had the absolute pleasure of working with Christine during a very challenging time (COVID-19 lockdown #3). We wanted to move, not just homes, but cities and weren’t even sure which town we wanted to land in. We wanted to look at homes in 3 different towns in the Niagara Region while living in St. Catharines. Christine took all of these viewing requests in stride and booked everything in the best possible way to allow us to view the most homes possible on the only day we had childcare available for our toddler. Not only did Christine find us our dream/forever home and submit an attractive offer which was accepted by the sellers with no sign-backs, but she also sold our current home in 72 hours. We did not imagine that our first home would sell so quickly or that we would receive multiple offers, all of which were over our asking price. We know for sure that without Christine’s expertise and listing skills this process would not have gone nearly so smoothly. She even blocked off viewing times to allow the process to be less stressful for our toddler and allow her to still keep a consistent nap schedule, even during the craziest week of our life with over 15 showings in 3 days. During the contract negotiations for both homes, Christine was professional, firm, and always available for my (many many) questions and concerns. She arranged all of our pre-closing viewings and attended them all to handle any of our questions with the listing agent. Christine is a true gem, incredibly kind, and so knowledgeable on all things real estate. We would not hesitate to recommend Christine Garus to anyone who is looking to buy OR sell in the Niagara Region.

Christine, thank you for helping me find a unique property that is truly me. Your knowledge of the St. Catharines area was invaluable and helped to steer me in the right direction. Without you, I may have purchased in the wrong area! As well, your bonus designer advice will go a long way towards making it into a perfectly gorgeous home! I can’t wait to see how it turns out. Thanks a bunch.

I had the pleasure of working with Christine Garus. Not only did she find our forever home, she also sold our house within 7 days of listing and over asking price. Her knowledge and professionalism is top notch. Christine is always available and open to any of our questions or concerns. I can’t thank Christine enough for taking most of the stress from us during this process. Her upstanding professionalism truly shined and shows how much she cares for her clients. Christine is a fountain of information, and anyone would greatly benefit from her experience. I Highly recommend Christine Garus for buying or selling any home. Christine is someone you can trust, call anytime, understand the entire process of buying or selling and get amazing results! Thank you Christine.
