Alison Davis (Client )

Christi did a great job selling our house.

She even picked up moving boxes for me and delivered them. She was willing to pitch in and help, no matter what it was. She is tough and professional in handling the sale. Our sale kind of drug out for a while, no fault to Christi, more the fault of all the refinancing and volume of homes being sold. She was understanding with our frustrations and worries and was right there to help.

Cristi was with us every step of the way as we sold our current home and bought a new home.

She took time to know our family and what works best for us. She made the stressful process of buying a new home and moving as seamless as possible! We are forever grateful for her expertise and guidance!

Michelle Cohenour

I have no hesitation recommending Cristi for your homebuying needs.

She is great to work with and gets the job done! Thank you Cristi for all your help in the purchase of my new place!

Jayne Tooker (Assistant to Assistant Vice Provost)

Cristi is the kind of realtor everyone who is selling their home deserves.

She is fair and unbiased. She priced our home above the market value and got more for it then what we were asking. Her communication skills are excellent. Between Cristi and her assistant Beth we were never left to wonder where we were in the selling process. Cristi gave us good advice along the way and we were extremely pleased with the results. We highly recommend Cristi and the Waco Home Team to anyone buying or selling a home.

John Peitsmeyer

"Cristi is the best!

Recommend her 100%! We used her expertise over the last year for both buying a new build and selling our previous house. The home sold for well over asking after only 3 viewings during a pandemic! Skills! She did a fantastic job of advertising, made sure to get eye-catching professional photos to attract buyers and gave us expert staging advice. It was our first time selling, and she made it a breeze. If you’re on the fence about using a realtor for a new build, I’d strongly advise it. She caught so many “fine print” items that saved us big headaches and put pressure on builders for us when necessary. She recommended an inspector who caught items we wouldn’t have noticed otherwise (like thousands of dollars of roof damage on the hew build)! Cristi also does her homework about current and future economic issues and can give smart advice on good times to buy/sell. Now my parents are buying in Waco and Cristi is helping them as well."

Kristen Muir

Cristi was on the ball from first contact.

She was patient with us and willing to go above and beyond what a normal agent would do. Also she is extremely knowledgeable about the Waco and surrounding area. She has great contacts that are helping with repairs ect. All that wrapped up in a caring professional agent that has become a friend. 100% recommend her.

Michael Muehl

Cristie is a fantastic agent!

She's thorough, communicative, knowledgeable, and attentive. I'd highly recommend using her to buy our sell your home. She's patient and kind and you'll enjoy the home buying process with her on your side!

Angela Locklear (Buyer)

We called Cristi early on in our house hunt as she was highly recommended by dear friends of ours.

Cristi did not disappoint. She quickly prepared a list of homes and wanted to make sure that she was on the right track with the homes she provided. If we were interested, she was ready to book a showing and worked with our schedules. From preparing the offer to the point an offer was accepted, she was ready to "go to bat" for us. She was ready for action at a moments notice and showed great pride in her job. She was easy to work with, cared about finding our family a home that was right for us, and she made it a great experience overall (especially with the changes taking place during the pandemic). It's easy to see why she was so highly recommended!

Sarah Mueller

In settling my mom’s estate, choosing Christi was one of the best moves we made.

She laid out the process clearly for us and even gave us great sources for removing furniture and trash. She made it possible for us to handle the sale and closing from our home (over 100 miles away). She presented us with offers for my mom’s home within 2 weeks and closed a month after listing. We would not hesitate to recommend Cristi to anyone needing a realtor.

Sherry Wyatt

I would not trust real estate with anyone in Central Texas except Cristi McGowan.

She has represented me in multiple real estate transactions over the years and in the end, while I felt like things were bumpy, she always managed to smooth them out. This last sale, the ceiling began leaking literally less than 24 hours before the walk through! I panicked of course and Cristi remained calm and got everyone on it and it was fixed by 9:00 am the next day. The poise, patience, and passion she has for her clients says it all. Thanks friend!

Kristen Lawley

Cristi did an amazing job in getting us our Waco dream home!

We are in California and buying in Waco Tx and Cristi made sure that everything was perfect with the house and the sale. We really couldn’t have done this sale without all of her help. Cristi is very knowledgeable and professional and made sure that we were kept informed on everything going on with he home and escrow. Even after the escrow closed Cristi continued to help us with finding contractors and getting things done. We highly recommend Cristi for all of your Realestate needs.

Julie Muehl

CRISTI McGOWAN!

!! Absolutely the best realtor! Every step of the way she MADE IT HAPPEN for us. Above our expectations and we are so grateful for her services and thoughtfulness as well.

Gina Davis

Cristi was the best agent my wife and I ever had the in 35 years of moving.

She sold a home for us in early 2024 and helped us find a new home in late 2024. She was always professional and easy to work with. She is like having your best friend sell or help you buy a home. We were 1300 miles away while buying our new home and she did everything we could not be there for. Would recommend her anytime to anyone wanting the best in a agent.

Richard Mouck

We just worked with Cristi to purchase a house and she was amazing.

She really knows her stuff and the area and could answer any questions that we threw her way. Feeling like my realtor is my advocate is important to me and Cristi was perfect. I always felt like she had our best interests in mind. I would definitely recommend Cristi!

Carol Hurst

Building a home while living one hundred miles away was a daunting thought.

Luckily, our daughter recommended Cristi McGowan to us. She was building her dream home, and she told us that her experience with Cristi was exceptional. The process took about a year to complete due to Covid, but we finally closed! Cristi was with us all of the way. We called her often and she always made time for us. She was patient and professional, and easy to work with. We wish she could sell our house is Austin.

Michele E and Robert D Hanson

As a first time home buyer I would definitely recommend Cristi.

Going into the home buying process I was kinda nervous and wasnt sure what to expect but she made the whole process pretty simple.

Justin Hostetler (Automotive technician)

It was a true joy being about to work with Cristi.

She was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful through every step of the home buying process. As first time home buyers, we had a lot to learn. Cristi was patient and answered all of our questions. She ended up helping us get into a great home and connected us with excellent contractors to help us make it our own. We plan on recommending Cristi to friends, family, and anyone who asks!

Kristina McGinnis

Awesome experience!

We'll definitely use again in the future and recommend to everyone! Cristi is awesome!

We are extremely pleased with the purchase of our home with Cristi McGowen.

Cristi goes above and beyond for your needs. This is the second time we have used her services. We will definitely use her again and send her referrals. She is amazing!

Karen Hughes

Cristi was a fantastic agent for us.

We knew very little about the home-buying process but she taught us everything we needed to know and gave us confidence in our decision. We love our new house and are so grateful for Cristi's help!

Eric Martin

Cristi is amazing and works really hard to find you the perfect home at a great price.

She used to work for Stylecraft builders so she has an excellent eye for structural issues in homes and how to also improve them cosmetically. She is super knowledgeable and will work around your schedule. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Tyler Green

CRISTI McGOWAN is the one!

Second time we have had the privilege of working with her (buying and selling). She truly goes above and beyond in every detail. In a tough market she got it done for us. HIGHLY recommend.

Gina Davis

Cristi and her team recently helped us sell our family home, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

From our very first conversation, Cristi’s deep market knowledge and experience were evident. After interviewing several agents, it was clear that she stood out. She quickly assessed the strengths and challenges of our property and outlined a clear, data-driven marketing strategy. Her approach combined online listings, social media outreach, and professional photography, ensuring our home was presented in the best possible light. She also came prepared with detailed market comparables and insights into our target buyers—insights that proved to be spot on. Cristi’s strong industry connections gave us a significant advantage, from tapping into buyer networks to coordinating with inspectors and surveyors. Thanks to her guidance, we listed our home on a Monday and were under contract before the week was out—while similar homes in the area had lingered on the market for months. Her negotiation expertise was instrumental in keeping the deal on track. One of the most refreshing aspects of working with Cristi was her clear commitment to professionalism and ethics. She prioritized transparency and honesty throughout the process, ensuring that every decision was in our best interest. I never felt pressured, only well-informed and supported. Toward the end of the transaction, things became a bit complicated when our buyers faced delays in selling their own home. Cristi handled every challenge with professionalism, providing frequent updates and expertly navigating contract extensions and disclosures. Thanks to her diligence, what could have been a stressful situation remained manageable and straightforward for us. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, ethical, and results-driven real estate broker, Cristi is an outstanding choice.

Michael Coulon

Cristi took great care of us!

My company transferred me with a short notice and we needed to sell quick. Cristi and her team did a fantastic job getting the house ready for market. She got it sold quickly and at a good price. I would absolutely recommend Cristi to anyone who is in the market.

Chris Irons

Cristi is unbelievable at what she does!

She is always looking out for her clients and wants nothing but the best for them. She helped us find the perfect home for our family.

Madison James (Teacher)

Cristi did a great job selling our house and helping us with the purchase of a new house in Waco.

She got us more than we expected on our old home and helped us negotiate the price on our new purchase. It was an easy and smooth experience. I would fully recommend Waco Home Team.

Ryan Cohenour

Cristi made the sale of our house quick, painless and profitable!

She is super-proactive and helped us think of every detail. Would very highly recommend her!

It would be difficult to overstate how great a job Cristi did in selling our house.

Professional, personable and offering constructive straight talk, Cristi’s expertise allowed us to avoid missteps and strategically maximize our selling potential. The end result? We sold our house with two days of listing it, at a price that was more than what we asked for. If you are wondering which of a plethora of real estate agents should be the one to represent you, let me give you some helpful advice: This. Is. The. One.

Gordon Muir (Serving our nation’s Veterans)

Cristi recently helped my husband and I sell our old home and purchase a new one.

She made the process of buying a different home so easy and stress free.I highly recommend Cristi for your next home purchase. She knows her real estate business and will go the extra mile for her clients.

"We have had the pleasure of working with Cristi on three projects now in Waco. She helped us sell a "student" home we had purchased, and my daughter purchase her first home. She recently helped my son purchase a condo to occupy while at Baylor. It is difficult handling these transactions as an out of state parent. However, she made each process stress free and helped down to the smallest detail. I am pleased to say there were no unwelcome surprises in any of our transactions. She has also recommended great individuals to work on projects. Cristi is very detail oriented and hasn't missed a thing! We will definitely work with her again on our next transaction and very highly recommend her services!"

"I cannot recommend Cristi enough! She came highly recommended by friends and she truly went above and beyond.

Her responsiveness and willingness to address all my concerns promptly were remarkable. Her expertise in the market and adept negotiation skills gave me confidence that I was receiving top-notch guidance. What sets Cristi apart is her genuine care for her clients.

"Christi was easy to work with and very willing to help any where she could. She even bought moving boxes for me and brought them to the house, because my husband was in the hospital. She is very friendly and knowledgeable. The closing of our house took awhile, not because of Christi, but because of the volume of houses selling and all the refinancing in our area. She was right there to the end to handle all questions for the buyers and us during the time we were waiting to close."

"Many times, the importance of communication is overlooked in a relationship, be it personal or professional. But, the value of its worth cannot be understated. Cristi McGowan has this quality, far and above most. Combine this with her knowledge of the real estate market, and financing it all becomes a winning combination. Over six months ago my wife and I started our search from Seattle to find a new home in the Waco area. Based on comparative reviews from her - and other web sites - we decided to go with Cristi. In hind sight, it was a wise and fortunate choice.To find our home, we needed to visit Waco on several different occasion to look around. Cristi always met us with enthusiasm and evident pride in the Waco area. She listened to our needs and helped to narrow our search for the perfect home. Whenever we needed to fly back to Seattle, Cristi kept in touch via text msgs and emails, keeping us abreast of available homes and market trends. As we finalized our search, she also kept in contact with our real estate broker in Seattle to help coordinate a “courtesy closing” as we sold our home in Seattle and bought our new home in Woodway.Even better, due to our work commitments in Seattle, we were unable to meet our moving van when it arrived at our new home. Once again, Cristi stepped up to the plate and graciously supervised the delivery of our home furnishings.In our opinion, Cristi went above and beyond our expectations for a real estate broker and we, without hesitation, recommend her for any of your real estate needs.Loren and Lori"
