All went very smoothly
All went very smoothly - there were numerous property options and Chris was very familiar with the area. Always felt confident.
Extraordinarily responsive
We met many brokers in Dutchess County and found Chris to be very easy to work with and extraordinarily responsive - every question and request was answered, usually within minutes! Chris was also tireless, looking at many different properties and options for us; we have and will continue to recommend him.
We worked with Chris for over 2 years
We worked with Chris for over 2 years looking for our house. He was patient and also really understood what we were looking for. We would absolutely buy or sell with him again. Thank you so much - we absolutley love our new house.

Very responsive
Chris was very responsive - got back to us on all matters, no matter how minor, immediately. Very patient with us as first-time home-buyers. Offered solid advice during the home inspection. Before we disconnect the computer for the move I want to say thank you for all of your help in the process to buy our first home. You were professional, efficient and had a great sense of humor with all of our "newbie" questions. Thank you. - Rebekkah Aldrich
I knew I wanted to work with him
Upon discovering Chris Hackenbrock's practical, informative, & very useful website while researching real estate in Dutchess County I knew I wanted to work with him because no other realtor's site immediately offers as much pertinent information up front. For me that was a sign I would not be working with a mere salesperson, but somebody genuinely interested in cutting to the chase & making short work of what potentially could become long, drawn out & painful - searching for one's home! I was not disappointed. Chris means business when it comes to finding the right house. And since we meant business as buyers the partnership was perfect. As our buyer's broker we felt he represented us 100%, strangers from NYC, always, even when negotiating with long-time colleagues and friends on our behalf. He was cautious, appropriately measured, and pro-active throughout the process. His response time to any question or request was phenomenal! And so within 60 days from our initial 20-minute introductory phone call my husband and I moved into our 90% dream house (a Greek Revival not far from the Hudson River!). And with Chris's treasure trove of local contacts we're about to embark on renovating it 110% - thank you Chris!" - Melissa and Alon Koppel
Professional and thorough
Chris was professional and thorough during our search for a new home. He was honest and straightforward about the pros and cons of each house we visited, which we very much appreciated. We're glad to say that he matched us with the perfect house for our family, and throughout the entire process went above and beyond to ensure the purchase and move went as smoothly as possible. Thanks, Chris! - A. David Morgan
He really cares about his clients
It was a pleasure working with Chris in selling our house this summer. He was able to get us top dollar for it. Because of his suggestions and guidance we got more for our house when compared to other real estate agents who just wanted a "quick sale." Chris spent time with us and his honest "no beating around the bush" approach was refreshing. He really cares about his clients. Thanks to his hard work we had an offer and contract on our house within 30 days of being on the market. -Bob and Darby Spanier
Personable, available, and patient
Chris was very personable, available, patient. Nice sense of humor, too! His persistence found me the home, no question about that. - Jean Churchill
Would certainly recommend him to others
Excellent representation of the property in the listing, always available for questions/concerns with prompt response, good exposure for the listing in various media, consideration of our concern about managing our pets during showings. You were recommended to us by a colleague who bought a house through Chris and we would certainly recommend him to others. - Margaret Keefe and Dianne Conine.
Cannot say enough about his skills and honesty
When my wife and I starting looking for property in Rhinebeck, we talked to several different real estate agents. We were new to the area and needed a lot of help and reassurance. Of all the agents we talked to only one impressed us with his honesty and attention to our needs. Chris was out there with us in the snow of winter helping us make the right decision for our future summer home. Having now purchased a property through his help he remains our support and hopefully our friend. We cannot say enough about his skills and honesty. - Dr. and Mrs Stanley L.
