Christina was an amazing partner in the home buying process. As first time buyers, we didn’t know what to expect but Christina was always there to answer our questions and offer guidance. She was incredibly human throughout the process and never pressured or pushed us into anything we felt uncomfortable with. She always had our best interest at heart and helped us find the perfect home. You’ll find no one better! - Kathleen O

We worked with Christina recently when applying for a rental unit in Brooklyn, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. It was very easy to communicate with her and she was very open and direct about the process. She kept us informed right throughout and provided detailed instructions/tips. She was also very flexible in meeting with us and accommodating our schedule. Overall, a very smooth and good process. - Gaurav G.

"Christina is one of the most professional & genuine real estate agents I've ever met in NYC. On top of being knowledgeable and responsive, she has the most vibrant yet graceful energy that will make your interactions with her always feeling good. You can tell she truly cares for her client when she goes out of her way to find the best match for both parties every step of the way. I can't believe I am finally writing this review, but Christina has helped me meet my romantic modern brownstone (a.k.a. my dream Brooklyn apartment), and a great landlord late last year. I guarantee you will not regret working with her if you are wondering!" - - Alexandria W.

★★★★★
"Christina was the seller's agent when we bought our home, and she was great to work with -- we were in contract near the holidays and she moved her schedule around to make sure we could show the house to our family despite it being Christmas Eve. She was quick to respond, a great conduit with the sellers, and so helpful with those little, weird questions new homebuyers have. Buying a home is objectively the worst, but a seller's agent who works well with your buyers agent, and is kind and patient and personable even though you're not their client definitely helps! I would absolutely recommend Christina." - Sarah T.

"Christina is simply put, a fantastic real estate agent. Her quality of work is excellent - she's quick to act, has a great sense of the market and knows what she's doing. She helped lease our flat with all of our requirements intact, even though some of them were a bit of a stretch for a tight New York market. On top of providing a top-tier standard of service, you can tell that she genuinely has your best interest at heart. She wants to help you get what you want and is willing to sacrifice on her end to get you to that endpoint. Whether that's leasing, selling, or even finding a place to live. Really enjoyed working with her, and would recommend her to anyone looking for an agent you can trust." - Nathan C.

★★★★★

"I had a great experience with Christina selling my house in Bay Ridge. She was all over the process - bringing in a handyman to regrout the kitchen and bath, touch up some paint, light staging using her own collection of accent furniture and pieces, and using a professional photographer - I couldn't believe how good my house looked on the web listings. I had a bid at ask on the first showing, and a higher one at the next - and she had a good lawyer who was able to jump into action to close the sale. Awesome experience all around." - Rich S.

★★★★★
"I can't imagine working with anyone who possesses more knowledge and understanding of the nuance of the Brooklyn real estate market than Christina. She seems to have a block-by-block directory in her brain, as she seemingly knows all the details of every transaction in a given year. Thus, her experience and brains made her our ideal agent - and she excelled with flying colors, selling our apartment for more than we expected. 5-stars all the way!" - Matt S.
