ABOUT

Chris Testa -Real Estate Success


Is an Ohio native, born and raised in Columbus. After receiving his diploma from Olentangy High School, Chris Testa attended the prestigious Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.

Graduating with a BBA in Marketing and a minor in Advertising, Chris charged into the residential real estate market of Scottsdale, Arizona. His ambition, education, use of technology, and above all honesty allowed him to successfully differentiate himself from his 50,000 plus competitors.

Buyer Enjoying their Home

Scottsdale was one of the most “dog-eat-dog” markets in the country, yet Chris consistently sold properties that were previously listed by agents with “30 years experience."

Returning to Columbus, Ohio in 2007 Chris continued in his real estate career with experience in Bank Owned Properties (REO), Short Sales, commercial and investment property and traditional residential real estate. In the past 6 years there has only been one listing that Chris did not sell that he had listed. If you are looking to sell your house or commercial investment please contact Chris Testa today.

We manage every step of the transaction, from the beginning stages of your search to the day you finally get the keys.

Getting Pre-Qualified for a Loan


The mortgage and financing process should not be feared or uncomfortable. I highly recommend that you use a financial institution or mortgage broker that you already have a professional relationship with or that your Real Estate Agent recommends. This will help insure that you obtain the best rate for your current financial situation and that you will receive the customer service that you and your transaction deserve.

The first step should be taken by establishing communication with your lender. It is also recommended to “shop around,” talk to several lenders. This will require you to communicate certain personal information. It is important to note that a lender is unable to give you a TRUE quote without running your credit score by means of your social security number. In addition to communication with your lender continue to communicate your progress with your Real Estate Agent. It is important that you, the lender and I are all on the same page.

It is my job to orchestrate your transaction and I am able to do the best job for you when I am included in your loan progress. Once you have chosen your desired lender simply follow their instructions and try to deliver the necessary information required in a timely manner
