Congratulations, Christine!
Three weeks ago, Christine Elias saw a homebuilder do something she hasn’t seen in a decade as a Realtor.
Elias’ client was under contract with a builder to buy a new-construction Davenport home. As mortgage rates gradually ticked up, the buyer asked Elias if she could get a reduction on the contracted price of the house to offset the increasing rates. This perk would be in addition to the refrigerator, washer/dryer and window treatment the builder already threw in.
​
So Elias, founder of Winter Park-based Urban Dog Group by Coldwell Banker Realty, called the sales representative to ask for a price cut, Elias told Orlando Business Journal.
“The sales guy asked what I was looking for, and I wasn’t sure because I’ve never had this conversation. I said $10,000 on Friday afternoon. He called back the next Tuesday and offered $5,000 off the contracted price.”

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING!
Christine is an outstanding professional who guided us and supported us in every step of our house selection, negotiation and decision processes. We could not be more thankful for Christine's priceless coordination of this buying process.
Marilia // BUYER
Christine is absolutely amazing! My family was up north, so house hunting alone was tough. Christine listened our likes and dislikes. She lined homes based on that criteria. There was no wasting of time. She found our forever home!
Carmine // BUYER
Working with Christine has been an incredible experience. As a first home buyer, I had so many questions and also many fears and insecurities with decision making in this fast paced market and Christine made me super comfortable and I felt confidently guided throughout the entire process. I will recommend Christine to my closest friends and hopefully will get to work with her again in the future.
Paul // BUYER
