Willis + Tierney is a two-name real estate team working out of the Compass office on Atlantic Avenue in Marblehead, and one thing jumps out of their reviews immediately: nearly every client writes about Christine by name. Out-of-town buyers are a recurring thread. A client writing in October 2024 said they bought remotely and she ran virtual showings for them repeatedly, then coached them through the offer without pushing. Another, the following month, described concluding a Marblehead purchase from out of state. A May 2026 pair of first-time sellers said the value was simply having the process explained — prompt, patient, and willing to slow them down when they got ahead of themselves. The patience shows up in the timelines too. One buyer wrote in September 2024 that they had searched with her for four years before finally moving, then bought and sold inside two months. An August 2024 seller credited the listing side specifically: price analytics, custom marketing materials, and the sale that followed. A couple of things to sort out before you call. The reviews name at least three people — Christine, and a Lindsey Walker praised at length by a July 2024 buyer — while the team trades under two surnames, so ask who will actually represent you and who signs the agreement. And with 16 Google ratings, all five stars, there's no critical account anywhere to test the praise against, though the bodies themselves read as real: they run different lengths, describe distinct situations, and several are from clients who used the team on both sides of a move. The right fit here is a buyer coming into Marblehead from somewhere else, or a first-time seller who wants the mechanics spelled out.

As first time home sellers, there were all sorts of things we did not know going in, but Christine was GREAT at explaining the process! She was prompt, patient, thorough and occasionally helped put us at ease when we got ahead of ourselves. We couldn't be happier with our experience, she was truly a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her anyone in the North Shore area - contact Christine for any realtor needs!

As anyone who has bought or sold a home can attest, this can be one of the most stressful times in one's life. We researched and interviewed several agents in the area and were so happy when we finally met Christine and listened to what she had to offer. But what sold us most was how she really listened to us and how she got to know us and what our needs and concerns were. Her warmth and charm, as well as her knowledge of the industry and the market, captivated and convinced us that we were in the best care with Christine. We are so grateful for all that Christine has done for us and we cannot thank her enough. From the moment we met, she gave us her full attention and made us feel like we were the most important client. But more than that, she made us feel like we were friends and she truly cared and wanted to help us. Christine truly understands the market and her sympathy for our personal situation was evident when she helped us set the selling price and gave us genuine assurances that she would sell our house. We felt so comfortable with her and she reduced our stress levels so that for the first time in many months I was able to sleep again without worries. Thank you for staging and prepping our home so tastefully and for the countless support along the way. Christine has been a great and clear communicator and she kept us informed about the selling process, things to do, when we had potential buyers, and she kept our spirits up. Thank you for getting us over the finish line and giving us peace of mind, a happy heart, and for finding a wonderful family to make this their home. Thank you.

Christine is exceptionally good at what she does and what she does is buy and sell real estate. The biggest things for us: communications, honesty, and common sense and she demonstrated these qualities in buckets! During the buying and selling phases, she did exactly what she said she would do, when she said she would do it, and made sure we all knew! What could have been tricky transactions where timing and finesse were needed, she managed things flawlessly. If there is a better real estate agent in Marblehead (or anywhere else - and we have used agents in Texas, California, and London) we have not found them. We cannot recommend Christine highly enough. She is awesome!

Christine is amazing and has represented us on both the buy and sell side. We bought remote and she was so flexible and provided us with virtual showings on multiple occasions. Her knowledge of the local market was pivotal in helping us choose where to buy. When it came time to make an offer she coached us through it and was consultative without being pushy. As sellers she worked non-stop to get our listing ready, the property open for showings, and (most importantly) she got us offers. I would highly recommend working with Christine and we will work with her in the future!

Christine provided excellent guidance and representation as we looked for a property in Marblehead. She has a superb understanding of the market and went the extra mile to support us as we concluded our purchase from out of state. Highly recommend.
