A Little About Me...

Chris holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Ottawa, a Diploma in Business Administration and Certification in Computers from Algonquin College.  For ten years she was founder and co-owner of a small computer/electronics retail store and later left that business to join her husband Laydon and help with his quickly growing company, Home Handyman Services.  It was here that their mutual love of real estate and home renovations became fine-tuned and grew even more!  It was therefore a natural progression for Chris to become a licensed REALTOR® and the perfect way to help others realize their dreams of ownership!  Remembering always that:  “it’s more than a house, it’s Home!”   Chris is the proud mother of two amazing son's, Michael Laydon Joseph Marion who blessed their family in November 2009, and Justin Joseph Omanique who in August 2010 will be in attendance at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston where he will be an Officer Cadet studying for his Bachelor of Engineering Degree!  Justin obtained his Glider Pilot License at the age of 16 and his Private Pilot License at 17 via the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Corps and is looking forward giving back through service of our great country!   Chris says that if you love something then you are good at it, and she loves her job because working as a REALTOR® allows the opportunity to find clients the home that they will make dreams and memories in, a place to belong, to make a future!  This important type of matching takes effort and dedication, and this Chris will do for you! Chris brings you the best that the Valley has to offer with her knowledge of the area, her expertise as a Realtor, and will always strive to put you first, because YOU are number One!  If you'd like to contact Chris to help you find a home, or perhaps you wish to put your existing home on the market, then please fill out the following form and your message will be returned as soon as possible. Don't forget to ask to be added to her FREE instant notification service, customized to suit your individual needs.  This Realtor looks forward to hearing from YOU!  Sincerely, Chris Marion       Chris Marion (Omanique) was born in Pembroke, Ontario and lived within the Renfrew County for most of her life.  Her family built and sold quite a few houses, and at an early age she became knowledgeable in the many exciting faucets of real estate.  With Chris' parents affiliation with the building supply industry, her Grandpa's involvement and previous ownership of Forest Valley Lumber, and his Mills in Pembroke and Barry's Bay... you could say that it’s in her blood!
