Meet Your Agent

Hi, I'm Christian

I get it. Buying your first home is a lot, and most people don't know where to start. That's normal.

I was born and raised in Burbank, and I know what homes here are selling for. I've been doing this since 2015, and I'm with you from the first showing to the keys.

In My Clients' Words

Zillow review · December 2022

“He took the time to explain everything to us in terms we could understand, was patient with us, and made us feel completely comfortable every step of the way.”

“For first-time buyers, Christian Perez is your guy! My husband and I went into the home-buying experience completely blind and scared. Christian came to us as a referral and from the first moment we spoke, we knew he was the agent for us. He took the time to explain everything to us in terms we could understand, was patient with us, and made us feel completely comfortable every step of the way. Chris helped us get exactly what we were looking for in our budget. He is always available to answer our questions (and we have A LOT) and taught us so much. The entire process was so smooth and stress-free and I don't know that it would have been the same without him. At this point, we look at him as an extended member of our family. We are so thankful for everything Christian has done for us. We are big fans of CAP :D”

Zillow review · August 2021

“We were total newbies - didn’t have a pre-approval, didn’t know our price range, and didn’t have a clue what was normal or not.”

“Christian has been absolutely fantastic leading us through the crazy housing market and into our first home! We were total newbies - didn’t have a pre-approval, didn’t know our price range, and didn’t have a clue what was normal or not. He got us in touch with a fantastic lender which lead to us getting a lightning fast escrow of 17 days! We viewed houses together, he drafted competitive offers, and even texted us listings to make sure that we were looking at all opportunities that were emerging. When it came time to get into escrow, he was with us the whole way. Making sure we understood every step, ensuring that escrow and our lender and the process were taken care of from inspection and beyond. He was a shepherd like no other and we’d recommend him to anyone whether they’re buying, selling, or just want to gain more knowledge about the real estate market!”

He will make sure you end up in a place that you will love. In such competitive market Christian was able to get the condo of my choice. I highly recommend him if you are seeking to purchase or to buy. He truly cares about his customers.”
