Chris’s real estate journey started long before her first sale—relocating with her family every 2 years in childhood made her fluent in the ups and downs behind every new address. Those experiences imprinted on her that real estate is about much more than transactions—it’s about transitions!
Her family made its final relocation, leaving the Midwest for the northern suburbs of sunny, booming Atlanta when Chris was 16. At 18, she headed to intown and has been here ever since – completing college and raising a family. Chris has witnessed the city evolve block by block—from Ponce City Market’s rebirth to the Beltline’s impact on once-sleepy corners. That lived-in knowledge and exposure shows up in every client conversation.
Chris’s Real Estate experience is truly layered, providing her with a viewpoint from many lenses. She began in 2006, as a licensed appraiser, gaining experience, and insights into property valuation and the nuances that make a home unique. As her children grew, and her schedule permitted, Chris decided to move toward the sales side—gaining practical skills and industry knowledge as an assistant for a highly regarded real estate agent. In 2013 Chris obtained her Real Estate license and became a REALTOR, embracing a career that offers
both challenge and purpose: connecting people and places in those all-important transitions.
With a commitment to serving both buyers and sellers, Chris values the unique perspectives each side brings to the Real Estate market. She interprets the market data translating it into practical advice for her clients, by staying actively engaged in fluctuating market conditions. In her years of experience, Chris has worked hard to hone her skills in construction and inspection knowledge, effective marketing and staging, implementing simple solution improvements, and common-sense problem solving. This alongside her skillful negotiation and understanding of the community, allows her to offer a winning combination of service.
It is the PEOPLE first for Chris! She takes pride in fostering lasting relationships with clients, earning their trust, maintaining connections and providing resources long after closing. She recognizes that each transaction marks a new transition in her clients’ lives, and she considers it a privilege to assist them as they navigate their evolving needs.
With a genuine instinct for helping others, Chris is compassionate in supporting the emotions surrounding the HOME buying and selling process. She continues to thrive in the ever-changing world of real estate as an Atlanta Lifetime Top Producer and a regular on the Atlanta Real Estate All Star list, working hard to make a positive impact on the lives of her clients!
"Chris is a fantastic realtor! We were out of town buyers and Chris was very communicative and set us up with email alerts to properties within our parameters. She listened to us and was very patient with questions and always had a calming demeanor with her explanations and answers. When it was time to look at houses, she was prepared, professional and knowledgeable. Because of Chris' preparedness…
"Chris is the best there is. We could not have done this, with the excellent result we got, without Chris. She is super knowledge about the Atlanta/Decatur area. Every neighborhood she could tell us how nice it was, where it was headed, what there was to do, how good the schools were, and so on. Chris was incredibly responsive. She answered any and all questions we had about buying a house. Her …
"Chris did a wonderful job helping me find a home after I had to change realtors. I was a relocation move and being over 1000 miles away from where I was moving Chris expertise helped navigate the process specifically having to deal with a difficult seller."
"I've now used Chris to purchase two homes and have had great experiences both times. She's easy going and doesn't pressure you, rather seeks to understand your needs and goes the extra mile to find you what you're looking for. But, don't let her unassuming demeanor fool you, she's incredibly smart, knows her business and will fight for her clients. I can't recommend her enough!!"
"Chris is a ROCK STAR. She is an expert on every aspect of the highly competitive intown ATL market, proactive, and responsive. Excellent communicator. She also has a fantastic network of key support professions for every aspect of the transaction process, from mortgage brokers and appraisers to staging companies, building contractors, landscape professionals, property managers, relocation, and or…
"Chris was always friendly and upbeat. I was relocating and not sure of what neighborhoods I might like. She knew details of Atlanta areas but was also familiar with surrounding suburbs. This was very useful in helping me decide where to buy. She kept on top of all closing issues and was always available if I had questions."
"We have worked with several realtors over the years; Chris is by far the best! Have worked with her before because we love her knowledge of the local markets, and the details of the sales, inspection, and contracting processes. Also love the fact that she stays on top of everything throughout the sale. This time we weren’t 100% sure the timing was right to sell our home, in part because of the l…
"I highly recommend using Chris Aiken for your real estate needs! She literally worked with us for several years finding our new home. She never gave up and got to know our needs and wants. She is very knowledgeable about the market and was always available to view a home if we were interested. When we finally found a home we liked, she fought hard and encouraged/guided us to purchase our home. …
"OMG....What a gift to be able to SHOUT FROM THE ROOFTOPS about Chris. Oh the many gifts and talents of Chris Aiken. I was a person who had lived in their home for 38 years. I had NO ability to make any movement. Chris was, from DAY 1, so gentle and kind. We cleaned my overly full house out. Had it painted and a FEW things done. I wanted to do all sorts of projects and spend all sorts of money, bu…
“Hiring Chris Aiken to help sell our home was the very best decision we could have made! From the very first meeting it was obvious that she knew the market in our neighborhood. She was extremely hands on and helpful in getting the house ready to sell and stage. Chris remained calm and firm during negotiations, and she didn't forget about us during the under contract phase. She did all of that a…
