Client Reviews
My wife and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend this outfit as they are a caring group." "We were very happy working with Chris during the purchase of our home. He was extremely professional, informative, and always available to answer our questions. Chris took the time to explain everything clearly, and we learned a lot throughout the process. His guidance made the experience smooth and stress-free. We would highly recommend Chris and The Leslie Kopp Group to anyone looking to buy a home." "Christi Arndt and her team at The Leslie Kopp Group were fantastic! They were a pleasure to work with and were very responsive and extremely helpful from start to finish." "I had a 5-star experience working as a buyer with Chris Housman for a vacation/weekend home I fell in love with in Rehoboth Beach, DE by Silver Lake and the ocean. Chris always returned my calls and texts immediately and helped me negotiate my terms in ways that appealed to the seller so that I felt there was a win-win arrangement and much to my relief, the seller agreed to sell me his home for my terms. Chris is very knowledgeable about all the beaches and really knows about the communities, amenities and neighborhoods. He also really knows about decorating a home to make it very attractive to buyers and in our case, things we can do to improve our home to make it even more coastal and updated for the year 2026. We will definitely recommend him and the Leslie Kopp Group to family and friends who are interested in acquiring future beach real estate."
