Great service for international investors! Our condo purchase in PCB was very well faciliated by Chris. As Canadian buyers, we needed a lot of advice and guidance from Chris throughout the process and he went above and beyond to ensure our comfort level. Great wealth of information, comprehensive knowledge of the market, excellent website and listings, always available for even the smallest details and a great negotiator! Once again, thanks Chris for everything and hope to be dealing with you again soon. |

... I came to know Chris for the first time when I saw an article written by him about the real estate market in panama city. I was not aware of his knowledge, and his negotiating skills. I remember putting a ridiculous offer on a two bedroom ocean front condo. Deep in my mind I knew the offer was very low and will be rejected. Few weeks later I owned the condo. I have to admit, Chris knowledge and his negotiating skills could not be matched. I would recommend Chris for anyone that is looking for a Condo in Panama City Florida. This is especially true if the buyer is from out of town. He will represent the buyer as if the buyer is with him. I live in Illinois and visited my Condo once on the closing date. I had no problem what so ever with the Condo. Thanks Chris. |

... Chris Arnold is a fantastic realtor! He knows the Panama City Beach area so well, he can recite the best (or abscence of) facilities at each beach resort. Chris has taken the time to know each beach resort completely, which helps narrow the field of interest. He helped my family find just the right condo for our growing family, keeping in mind that we hoped to rent out our unit when we were not using it. The income we will receive from renting our unit will certainly help our tax situation (and may be yours?!), while also offsetting the cost of our condo. The best part is that our family will have a new "home at the beach" to enjoy when we have time to visit. Thank you Chris! |

SOLD!!!! Chris Arnold provides honest representation and good service. He is knowledgable concerning the Panama City Area and the current climate regarding condo sales. I am in real estate and was always requestion information and Chris was quick to provide market data. We wanted to sell the condo and Chris explained to us our options on price if we wanted to sell or if we wanted to hold and wait. We were pleased with results. I recommend Chris for those investors and sellers that want straightforward information to make decisions regarding Panama City Beach property! |

Highly recommended In April 2007, my wife and I visited Panama City Beach for the purpose of buying a condo. Because we live in Ohio, we were looking for a place that would have good rental value in the near term, and which would be a comfortable place to winter when we retire. It was our good fortune to find Chris to assist us in the process. He quickly narrowed down the field to the kind of units we would really be interested in, and did a marvelous job in concluding the negotiations and cloing the sale. He has continued to assist us in many ways over the ensuing year, even though the real estate transaction concluded long ago. Chris is a true gentleman and an eminently capable real estate agent, in whom you can repose your total confidence. He has our deepest respect and gratitude, and we enthusiastically recommend him to anyone who is considering making a purchase in Panama City Beach. |

... With the recent price adjustments in the condo market in PCB, my wife and I thought we would look into the possibility of a purchase. We found Chris both through his web site and posts on the Pcbdaily.com. He impressed me with both his aggressiveness and knowledge of the local market up and down the beach. We explained to him what we were looking for and he laid out our options giving pluses and minus's of each location based upon what we were wanting. Together we decided on a certain complex, looked at a few units, and made a 1st choice then a 2nd choice we would settle for. Chris was not given very much latitude on what we were willing to pay so it was not an easy assignment on his part. Two and a half months later we closed on our condo at the price we wanted. Chris is certainly the best Buyers Agent I have ever come in contact with. I can truthfully say, if you are in the market for a condo in the PCB area, Chris is your guy! |

... My wife and I we're looking for a second home in the Destin area but decided to take a trip to PCB just to see if anything would work for us there. After looking around without an agent we had about decided that there was nothing there that gave us the laid back atmosphere that we were looking for. Luckily we found Chris and he gladly met with us and listened to what we were looking for. Within the same day he put us on a unit that more than exceeded our expectations. Chris was very professional to work with and made this whole experience very enjoyable. He handled everything for us so that we could enjoy the excitement of buying our second home. |

A dream come true I was directed to Chris through his fabulous website. But I first had another realtor in the PCB area that I was most DIS-satisified with. When I hooked up with Chris, I felt immediate relief because of his knowledge of the PCB area. I was looking to purchase a condo mostly for rental purposes but to use if I wanted. He helped to make me aware of condo units to stay away from and those to take seriously. He knew my wishes and my price range but was not afraid to go after something better for hope of negotiation. After meeting with Chris and looking around, I went back to Chicago to think. He told me to make no quick decisions (not something you usually hear from a Realtor). Chris then hurt his back when I was going to return to PCB to look at a few different condo'sand make a final decision. He could not meet me because of the back pain but sent the most lovely woman (Trudy) to cover for him while he lay in bed in agony. Between the two (Trudy doing the leg work and holding my hand and Chris by way of telephone) I bought a condo and closed within two weeks of date of contract. I could not imagine using anyone else if I decide to buy another condo in the lovely PCB. Chris you are very attuned to the area and I appreciated your expertise and knowledge. Hope the back gets better soon. |

Chris is a Legend I recently purchased a condo in PCB with the immense help of Chris Arnold. He is one of the most knowledgeable agents I have ever met, (I hold a GA real estate license) who gave candid and extremely helpful advice that was essential in securing the condo of my dreams. Chris has an eye for value and saved my family thousands of dollars that would have been spent not having such a skilled agent. Chris guided us through the entire process and made the process smooth for my family every step of the way. Thanks again Chris. We will send all our friends and family your way!! |

Great Real Estate Agent Chris Arnold is a great real estate agent. He knows the Florida PCB condo market very well. He asked me my goals and worked to keep me on tract. He knows every condo complex in PCB including the amenities of each one. He also worked hard with the finance company to ensure we closed on time. Thank you Chris for your hard work. |

Gone In 60 Seconds! Gone in 60 Seconds! Actually, our condo didn’t sell in 60 Seconds, but it did sell quickly based on the tactical plan Chris developed to move our property. My partner and I settled on Chris as our realtor for several reasons. His website gets first page recognition on Google when you search Panama City Beach for anything. His web content is stellar, topical, instructive and data-based. He has a fresh, fact-based approach for getting you to the best decision for buying or selling your residence. These are the kind of detail and the kinds of data points that create interest for other buyers and or sellers for the Panama City Beach Market. We own several condos in the Panama City Beach Market and are extremely happy with the fast results we achieved through Chris’s sales strategy. This is the first realtor that actually DID what he said he’d do. We are sold! Jerry Underhill |

One in a Million! Wow! That's one of the things we can say about Chris. His incredible wealth of knowledge was amazing. He seemed to know everything about every single condominium complex in PCB! He was easy to speak with, and always had the information we were looking for....Chris, along with Dana Dunnigan, put together a complete portfolio for us to examine....set up financing, and continuously worked on making our dreams come true. I truly believe there is no other team that could have done what they did, in the time they did it! It is because of them, we own an amazing condo in Panama City Beach! |

... Chris, you helped us with the purchase of our fractional property. Your suggests were welcome and were "a direct hit on the target". With your guidance we were able to make the purchase efficiently, effective with the bottom line being the best price when compared to other properties under consideration. For all who read this and need the assistance of a real estate expert - CHRIS IS YOUR MAN!! |

... Chris is the Best Realtor I've Ever Had!! After struggling to sale my investment condo and on the brink of bank foreclosure I enlisted Chris' help. His sheer determination to help me sale my condo is why it finally sold after nearly a year and a half of being in this ridiculously tough, condo saturated, Panama City Beach market! Regardless of the obstacles that the bank holding the lein threw at him he stayed the course and reassured me that he would see it through. Because I'm so used to mediocre realtors (at best) I fully expected Chris to give up on the whole deal due to frustration. I know I would have but he never did. Chris has reminded me what true customer service looks like! He even went so far as to pay some incidental fees for me out of his own pocket so my sale would not be delayed any longer while waiting for my check to arrive. If you want the "real thing" helping you to sell or buy your next property. Chris is your man! Thanks Chris! BP |

... I just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was to work with you. Your expertise, knowledge and experience made our transaction a real joy. From someone who manages one of the largest real estate firms in Georgia, I knew after meeting you that I was in the hands of an experienced real estate professional. I truly feel like we got an exceptional value with little hassle or drama. Thank you so much for making my experience outstanding! Thank you. |

... Eric is, on the soup to nuts scale, the nuts. He is patient, has an excellent sense of humor and perspective, and is incredibly adept at working with "high maintenance" clients. We spent over a year looking...and looking...and looking...and found something....only to have the deal fall through......but Eric hung in there with us until we found the perfect property. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM to you....he's a prince. B. Van Derven |

... Thanks Chris for helping us locate and close on our dream beach condo in two months! William and I decided it was time to take a pre-step to retirement and locate a second home on the beach, which was always our dream. William started researching condo sales and located Chris’ website. He found it to be extremely informative even down to details about Kaba locks. We scheduled an appointment with Chris and off we went one weekend viewing about 20 condos up and down Panama City Beach. After a few condo stops, Chris had a good understanding of what we were looking for, what we liked, and a good idea of where we really needed to focus our viewing at. He was right; we loved the condo and was able to meet our specs of a corner unit, ample closet space, good working size kitchen, etc. The unit was a short sale and he was able to assist in the negotiating and tracking it through the system and was able to close on it two months at a great value for us. An added note is prior to closing, we had a minor repair that was required. Chris followed through and even got the job to be redone to meet his specifications of quality, which he knew would meet ours. This saved a delay in walk-through and closing. As you review the website and then talk or meet with Chris, you will understand his wealth of information and knowledge of real estate sales, taxes, amenities, short-sales, foreclosures, etc. We highly recommend Chris and foresee using him as our agent again in the future. William and Lawanda |

... Chris was the main reason we purchased our condoin Panama City. His advice and expertise were with us very step of the way. Has he not initially listened to our needs and astutely picked up on what might possibly interest us, we probably would have dropped this retirment dream right away. He was willing to come show us what was available at odd hours, and to join our family for meals out to be able to talk over what we has seen, and although he was never ever pushy about any aspect of pur condo hunting and ultimate purchase, he offered sound advise when we asked for it. He is honest, straightforward and maintains his professionalism even while suppling the personal touch necessary to keep buyer interested and help them finalize a purchase. As I said, every step of the way, he was extremely helpful and kind. He had already effected a sale, and yet when we asked him (from 400 miles away) to measure dimensions for drapes and again, the height of the bar area in the condo we already bought, he gladly came to our assistance. And on still another accasion, when I arrived late to the condo to complete the condo with furnishers, exhausted after a long trip, only to find out I was in the dark with no electricity until morrning, guess who came to may assistance, without my having to ask? Chris appeared with a flashlight and help me to get the light tuened on from building main breakers. This goes beyond the call of duty, in my opinion. Mr. Chris Arnold is not only anexcellent realtor, but is also a stellar individul and someone my family and I are very happy and honored to call a true "friend." |

... In January 2010 I knew I wanted to sell my house and buy a condo but knew next to nothing about how to do either. Chris Arnold guided me through the process with the utmost professionalism and attention. He was available at a moment’s notice to answer questions, schedule showings, and explain processes. His expertise and knowledge of the industry lead the way to my house being sold in 3 months for an amount well above what I anticipated. He successfully closed a short sale on a condo at Marina Landing that was at the lower end of my budget and assisted with several matters that made the transition from house to condo seamless and worry-free. I highly recommend Chris for any real estate endeavors. |

... Chris, A word of thanks for the excellent and extensive work you did to close my Panama City Beach condo. In the past when you sold my condos I was amazed at your abilities. And, being a realtor myself, I understand the time and commitment necessary for such success. This transaction, which made it necessary to deal with two banks, one for the first and one for the second mortgage, was handled with amazing expertise. When they delayed and made mistakes with figures, your respectful and constant communication with their staff saved the day. I know your success comes from the extensive hours put into handling many previous short sale transactions. I at times felt my condo transaction had absolutely no chance of closing. But, your personal encouragement kept me thinking positively. I can't thank you enough. Elaine |

... Chris was a wonderful agent in our short sale. He dealt with Suntrust through the entire transaction, which was not an easy task by the way. Everything went smoothly even if Suntrust drug their feet most of the time. I would highly recommend Chris for your next transaction (and mine in the future) Go Chris!!! |

... We have worked with Chris now on two separate occasions. The first was a couple of years ago when we bought our first condo, and just recently when we sold our condo. Chris' knowledge of the industry and market is second to none. He made the selling process for us as easy as the buying process. Thanks Chris! |

... Chris, My wife and I just want to say thank you for selling our condo so quickly. In this market, you never how long something will stay on the market. However, your knowledge of pricing to move properties proved invaluable. Closing was seamless, and we couldn't have asked for more. Thanks again! |

... Chris is a very knowledigbe and professional realtor. From the time I made the decision to sell to closing was around 2 months in a very poor market. The price obtained has proven to be way more than what would have been expected in this market. From agreement to sell/purchase to final closing, everything went smoothly and stress was non- existent. |

... Chris Arnold is on the TOP OF THE LIST of real estate people in the state of Florida. Being a single female, wanting to buy in Florida can be no only a scary but risky event. Chris worked with me for a year and a half before WE found the perfect place. He worked in my behalf the whole way. I couldn't have asked for a better agent. I am now in my beautiful condo and loving it. The real estate field needs more agents like Chris. If you want to come to Florida and buy be sure to call Chris to get your best buy for the dollar. Thanks Chris |

... The “Art of the Sale” is in the know-how of your Realtor. My experience in working with Chris Arnold for the past several years is that he has a thorough knowledge about the market and every condo or home up and down the beach. Not only does he know about each condo development, but he knows their floor plans, resort amenities and sales trends. He makes it his business, every day, to be abreast of PCB market trends and activities. During the past year he sold one of our 2300 square foot units in Tidewater Beach at $396,000 when another unit had just sold at $360,000. He sold one of our Splash 1702 square foot units at $328,000 when another like-kind of unit went for $300,000. I like the fact that he has moved the market up versus tearing it down with low offer sales. Call Chris if you want a Realtor that works early to late. |

... Let me just start off by saying i am a very high maintenance client,but chris was always there to answer questions and to hold my hand thru out the process of selling my condos, one of which was not even on the market. He had my 3 br listed and called to ask if i would be interested in selling my 2br located in the same complex.Long story short he sold both condos within a month for more than the previous sales, the 3br within 4,000 of asking price, which was 23,000 over the last 3br sale in the complex.Great agent, great negotiator great friend!Look forward to more deals in the future, thanks chris |

... I would like to highly recommend Chris Arnold for any real estate transaction on the gulf coast. His sales approach is based upon no nonsense factual analysis of available properties. Chris is a no pressure sales person. He has confidence in his ability to find the right property for his clients, which he did for me. When I met Chris, I told him what I was looking for in a property. During the search, he did not waste my time showing me properties that he knew I would not be interested in, even though I would inquire about them. He would remind me of the parameters I had laid out previously, and gave clear explanations why this property was unacceptable. The property he recommended was exactly what I was looking for at the right price point. He oversaw the entire process from start to finish with confidence and professionalism. He counseled me to possible issues during the closing process, thus making the entire process a seamless and quick transaction. Thanks again Chris, it was a pleasure working with you. Phil Wolfe |

... After a five year search for a vacation home on the Gulf Coast we were fortunate enough to affiliate with Chris Arnold. Chris made the time to listen to our goals and then narrowed his recommendations to only those properties that would meet or exceed our expectations. Once we selected a condo unit to purchase Chris handled all aspects of a difficult short-sale negotiating with both the bank and seller. My wife and I greatly appreciated Chris' expertise and professionalism during the purchase and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy in Panama City |

... After years of visiting PC Beach and watching the condo market we decided the time was right to make a purchase. I found Chris’ website full of useful information in researching available units, market trends, etc. Chris is a very knowledgeable agent and provided invaluable advice on each property we were considering. He gave us guidance and facts but did not pressure us into a specific development or rush a decision. After evaluating our options we went with a short sale that all agreed was an excellent deal. Chris led us through the negotiations and looked out for our interests as the closing date approached. In the end no gimmicks, no pressure, excellent advice, and keen insight into the market from Chris paid off. |

... Chris is very knowledgeable about the PCB condo market and managed the recent sale of my condo with great professionalism. He was extremely dilligent in immediately screening potential buyers to ensure they were qualified so as to not waste my time with unqualified offers and uncommitted buyers. I live out of state and the entire process process was handled by telephone and internet very easily. Chris was always available to provide information, but there was no pressure on me as the seller to accept any terms not in my best interest. All involved in the closing were amazingly competent, efficient, immediately accessible, and polite. Perhaps the nicest surprise is that Chris has contined to be helpful and responsive though my closing was completed months ago. |
