If I could give Christy more than five stars, I would. Since 2020, she has helped my husband and I with two home sales, one home purchase, and even a rental—and every experience has been exceptional.
We've worked with two other real estate agents while buying and selling in another state, and that experience made us realize just how outstanding Christy truly is in comparison.. She is knowledgeable, honest, incredibly responsive, and consistently goes above and beyond for her clients.
Our most recent home sale was completed entirely while we were out of state, and Christy handled every detail seamlessly. She made what could have been a stressful process feel easy and worry-free.
As a military family, we especially appreciate how knowledgeable and supportive she is when it comes to military moves and the unique challenges they bring. I've recommended her to several fellow military families, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in Maryland.
Christy is simply the best of the best. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Meghan, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It has truly been an honor to help you and your family over the years. Your trust and confidence in me mean more than you know. Thank you again for your friendship, your continued support, and for allowing me to be part of so many important milestones. I wish you, Chris, and your family all the best in this next chapter, and I look forward to keeping in touch and the opportunity to work with you again when you come back to MD. Thank you both for your service to our country, it is truly appreciated.

I am very pleased to share our great experienced with Christy Staruk.
From the first moment we felt as family, she got our back 100+%. Never imposed nor pushed her interest. Only listened and helped us to get our first home!
A continue friendship led us to buy another house and sell this one and again!! The extra mile towards a great sale.
Wonderful help and she has our respect!
