WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

  • “I give my highest recommendation when I say that Christy's creativity, dedication, and attention to detail is unparalleled.

Her dedication to helping others achieve financial freedom through passive real estate investments is truly commendable, with her "Go Giver" spirit and passion for leadership, teaching, learning and helping others. Christy stands out as an exceptional mentor and partner for those who desire a person who is fully invested in your success and exemplifies the highest standards of integrity and excellence.”

  • “I wanted to share my experience working with Christy. I've worked with her on a couple different real estate investing projects and what I've noticed about her from the very beginning is that she's extremely detail-oriented. She doesn't let even the smallest details slip through her fingers and something else is her integrity... she makes sure that her partners, investors, peers, or anybody that she's working with, that she handles those relationships with integrity and does the right thing even when nobody is looking. She has over 15 years of experience in the multifamily real estate space and the expertise that she brings really shows through anytime she talks about multifamily. If you're looking to invest in multifamily, I highly recommend Christy. She's super professional and she'll give it her all.”

    Prominent Wealth Strategies, Partner

  • “With more than 15 years working as an entrepreneur in the multifamily space on cost analysis projects, Christy has the financial experience and industry wisdom to properly look out for your investment. You will be glad you invested with her and her team.”

    Sue Dao

  • "I'm a large multifamily owner operator, and I've bought and sold over a billion dollars of multifamily assets in my own portfolio and I have also invested as an LP across millions of dollars. Christy Schnurle is an incredible investor and she is somebody that I turn to when I am considering making an investment and I'm not really sure if it's the right move or if there are different analytics that I'm not thinking of. She's amazing at analyzing deals and knowing and understanding where there could be cost overruns, especially in new development. I refer her to every single one of my contacts, without fail, and I'm so grateful to have her in my circle and have her guidance as I am making my investment decisions. If anybody is considering whether or not to work with Christy, I recommend her 10 out of 10 - actually, no, 1,000 out of 10. Make sure you reach out to her, talk to her, get to know her. You will never find anybody as smart or as astute as Christy in the investment space."
