Chris works with clients to identify lots that fit their vision, budget, and lifestyle — whether that’s a quiet country setting, a wooded homesite, or a neighborhood lot.

Her goal is to make sure every room feels cohesive, beautiful, and distinctly yours. This is one of the most exciting parts of the process, and Abby makes it enjoyable.
