Real Estate Testimonials

Christina is all about quality and speed! 
In just a few hours of contacting her about listing my property, she had a full report of comps, a recommended listing price, and a likely sale price she thought I could get.  The comps were spot on and carefully balanced property condition, location, sqft, and many other factors.  She thought of everything right from the start.
Bottom line is that she researched, predicted, and the sale ultimately closed exactly in the middle of the range she predicted.
Aside from speed and quality, one of the things I like the most about Christina is that she doesn't hesitate to do whatever it takes to get the deal done.  She'll pull in experts as needed to give the sale the best opportunity to close, even if it costs her money.
Thanks, Christina, for all that you have done!

Working with Chrissy has been an outstanding experience. Chrissy's approach of putting her clients’ best interest first and foremost has been evident from the very first interaction. To compliment this value her vast knowledge of the market down to the specifics of pricing, amenities, community, and many other factors I wasn’t even aware of were very impressive. Most importantly she really took time to listen and understand my needs which made the process enjoyable.  I am forever grateful for her services and will recommend her to anyone as an agent.

Photography Testimonials

“It’s easy to see why you are “Best of Pleasanton” year after year.  Every year I think there is no way you are going to top last year’s photos, but you out do yourself again and again.  Would you believe me if I told you we actually enjoy our family photo sessions every year?  Somehow you manage to make it fun!  I think that is what shows in the photos.  I can’t forget to thank you for my professional and flattering head shot as well.  I use it for work all the time and it is so nice to have a great photo on hand to send on a moment’s notice.  You are such a talent, so happy we found you!”

"Christina is always wonderful to work with! I and my family have hired her for everything from professional headshots to family events, and we are always thrilled with the shots she gets. Not only does she take great photographs, but she is always relaxed and friendly. A truly great portrait photographer makes you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera and that's what Christina does easily. She is always cheerful and fun to be around, she handles the occasional young child meltdown with grace and wit, and has that kind of rare personality that can make anyone feel comfortable in front of a camera. There's never a question when we hire a photographer who to go to, we always book Christina!"

"From the moment I contacted Bella Luna Studios I knew my son's Senior Photos were going to be amazing! Christina was more than happy to come to my son's high school in order to capture the essence of his high school days. We were very pleased with the thought she put into the photo shoot prior to her arrival and then her flexibility of adapting to the ideas we had as well! As we received the final proofs it was apparent we made an excellent choice...choosing Bella Luna Studios! It was a great experience from start to finish!"

"If I had to choose three words for Christina Gray and her gift of photography it would be these: creative, fabulous, and amazing. When my son visited home from college I realized I wanted photos of him and my other sons together. She got great shots of my children and really captured their personalities. I will treasure these photos for a lifetime!"

"Thank you so much. We really like the pictures and really appreciate  the time you took. And the dogs look good too, thanks for putting up with them, they were a little challenging."

 

- Mary

           

"I enlarged one of the pictures you took to 16x20 and it still remained nice and sharp so I was really  pleased and it looks great.  Thanks so much for working with us, being adaptable when we changed the time, suggesting such a nice place, checking out the lighting in advance, arriving early to be ready and having such a quick turn around. All those details are appreciated and if I need a photographer when more grandchildren are born, I'll be giving you a call."

"I just got the disc today.  Thank you so much.  They are fabulous!! I love the animation with the kids, you did a really good job.  I know it's not easy to photograph 17 people, do a last minute venue change due to rain, and have them all look great despite the cold, but you did it!  I'm very impressed.  I will look you up next time too."
