“Chris was very professional, and extremely helpful. We were on a very short timeline, and Chris handled the situation like a true professional. She had lots of patience with us.”— Client review collected through RateMyAgent
Chris LaPointe • The Pines Collective
Real Estate Built Around the Whole Picture
Chris began her real-estate career in 2020 after helping her daughter through the process of finding a home. The experience reinforced what matters most to her: helping people make a major life decision with confidence, patience, and a clear understanding of what comes next.
Before real estate, Chris spent 21 years as a 911 dispatcher. That background—listening carefully, staying calm under pressure, and helping people work through complicated situations—still shapes how she approaches buyers, sellers, inspections, negotiations, and closings.
Licensed real-estate services are provided through The Pines Collective.

The Market Ready Listing Advantage
Start Before the Home Goes Live
Chris’s seller process starts with the property itself. The goal is not to create a giant pre-listing renovation list. It is to separate the work that matters from the work that does not, improve how the home presents, and reduce avoidable surprises once buyers start walking through the door.
- Pre-listing property walk-through
- Visible-condition and presentation priorities
- Staging and room-presentation notes
- Curb-appeal recommendations
- Photo-day preparation checklist

Ready for Photos • Ready for Buyers
Spend Where It Matters
Must-Do Is Different From Nice-to-Do
Not every home needs a major renovation before it sells. Chris helps sellers look at condition, presentation, buyer expectations, competition, and timing so they can make practical choices about where money and effort are most likely to matter.
A Practical Seller Conversation
Repair it, improve it, stage it, clean it up—or leave it alone. The right answer depends on the home, the market, the seller’s goals, and what buyers are likely to respond to.
Practical Decisions • Strong Presentation
A Service Background That Carries Forward
Calm, Communication, and Military-Family Perspective
Chris’s years in emergency communications taught her how important clear information becomes when people are under pressure. Her own family’s military background also gives her a personal understanding of the moves, timelines, and uncertainty military families can face.
Whether someone is buying a first home, selling after years in one place, relocating, or simply trying to decide what the next move should be, her role is to help make the process understandable and manageable.
Listen • Plan • Follow Through
From Listing Strategy to Closing
More Than Getting the Home Online
Preparation is only the beginning. Chris works with sellers on pricing, listing presentation, marketing, showings, feedback, inspections, negotiations, and the details that carry a transaction through closing.
For buyers, she helps clarify priorities, evaluate the full picture, navigate inspections and negotiations, and understand each step from the first conversation through closing.

“I can’t say enough good things about Chris LaPointe! From the beginning, Chris was easy to work with, patient, and genuinely interested in helping me find the right home—not just any home.
