Chris Benedict

At Benedict Homes, Chris and her husband Bob are seasoned marketing professionals with extensive experience in sales, marketing, product development, and negotiation. They take great pride in using these skills to help their valued customers find their dream homes or sell their most important assets.

Chris has been a highly successful full-time Realtor® for the past 12 years, consistently demonstrating excellence in the real estate industry. Over this period, she has achieved more than $140 million in sales, a testament to her expertise, dedication, and commitment to her clients. Her impressive track record reflects not only her deep knowledge of the market but also her ability to navigate complex transactions, negotiate effectively, and deliver exceptional results. Chris's success is driven by her passion for helping clients achieve their real estate goals, whether buying the home of their dreams or selling their current home. Before becoming a Realtor®, Chris was a sales representative in the college textbook industry, mostly with McGraw-Hill Publishing Company.

Bob recently retired from General Motors after nearly 39 years of managing a product engineering team and has now joined Benedict Homes, bringing his sharp analytical skills and customer-focused approach to the real estate world. His transition into real estate as a second career has been a rewarding experience, and he feels incredibly fortunate to work in such a fascinating field, helping clients buy or sell their homes.

At Benedict Homes, Chris and Bob leverage targeted social media and traditional marketing channels to ensure their clients' properties reach the widest audience possible. They utilize professional photography, virtual tours or videos, and expert staging to present their clients' homes in their best light, leading to swift sales at fair prices.

Finding the perfect home is a journey that demands perseverance, preparation, and, above all, attentive listening. Chris and Bob are passionate about working with buyers and find it deeply rewarding to help clients discover their dream homes.

The process doesn't end once an offer is accepted. As agents, they apply their strong negotiating skills to secure the best possible deal, keep clients updated at every step, provide guidance when needed, and collaborate with all involved parties—lenders, title companies, and more—to ensure a smooth transaction. Their commitment is to make the home selling or buying experience as fulfilling, profitable, and stress-free as possible for their clients.

Chris and Bob have called SE Michigan home for the past 25 years, finding it a fantastic place to raise their family. Before settling there, they lived, studied, and worked in various parts of the country—Chris in Ohio, Iowa, and Georgia, and Bob on the East Coast—and they are grateful to now call the Northville area their home. Their oldest son is a graduate of the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and works in the financial industry in Manhattan, while their youngest son graduated from Michigan Technological University and is a computer engineer, living in Rochester, MN.

For the Benedicts, giving back to the community is a top priority. Over the years, they have taken on various roles within their church and volunteered in many capacities as their boys grew up—whether coaching soccer, managing teams, serving on the PTA Board, or contributing elsewhere. In their spare time, they love reading, running, biking, traveling, and spending quality time with family and friends.
