About Christine
It's no surprise that someone who graduated #1 in her Air Force ROTC basic training class (out of 250 Officer Candidates) would quickly become a successful real estate agent.
Christine has been a NYC real estate agent for over 17 years and has over 390 sales under her belt. She listens to her clients needs, is responsive, and pays attention to every detail. She strives to be a trusted advisor; meaning that if it isn’t a good time to buy or sell, or if the price other agents have given you is too high or too low, she will give you her honest opinion. She guides her clients through the purchase or sale process while making it both stress-free and fun.
Christine is supported by her right hand woman, Gulnara, and her virtual assistant, Valerie. Under-promising, over-delivering and providing the highest level of customer service during and after the transaction is how they have built a business that is 95% referral based. Between Christine’s pricing strategy & negotiating expertise and her team's talents in staging, marketing & assembling pristine board packages, their listings sell for 96% of list price in less than 40 days on the market.
Christine's goal is to be a resource to her clients for “all things real estate” so she has a team of experts ready to help her clients navigate the purchase, sales and renovation processes.
Christine splits her time between an 1890's Brooklyn brownstone and a home in Greenville, SC.
Client Testimonials
"I hired Christine and her team to rent out my townhouse and later my apartment, because I was so impressed with them while purchasing the townhouse a few years earlier (they were the seller's brokers!). When I asked Christine to find a renter in about five weeks that met all my requests--someone with excellent credit and financials that was willing to pay the asking price, the broker's fee and all utilities--she set realistic expectations but assured me that it was doable. Christine's team found the perfect tenant, which is even more incredible given the fact that the listing was on the high side of Bed-Stuy's market and it was during a slow time of year rentals (and about to get a lot slower with Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year right around the corner). Christine's team handled everything to perfection, including drafting and finalizing all of the lease-related documents, creating a well-written listing that had professional-looking photos, setting up appointments and handling showings, and overseeing the cleaning and repairs, all with diligence and a super positive attitude. I'm normally a do-it-yourself type of person, and if I had the time I would have probably tried to rent out the place on my own, and in hindsight that would have been a big mistake. If anyone is unsure whether to hire a broker, I can't speak other brokers, but hiring Christine's team should be an easy decision to make. " ~Michael C.
