Buying a home
Find the right home, on the right terms.
With more than 30 years living in the Bay area and a background in renovation and design, I help you see past the listing photos to what a home really offers.
How I help
Clear guidance, start to close.
A plan that fits
We talk through budget, timing, must-haves and the areas that suit how you want to live.
Local knowledge
From North Pinellas to St. Pete and Pasco, I know the neighborhoods, the coastline and what to watch for.
A renovator’s eye
An honest read on condition, updates and potential, so you know what you’re really buying.
Strong offers
Offers written to compete, with terms that protect you.
Negotiation
Calm, firm advocacy through inspections, appraisal and repairs.
To the closing table
The right team around you, and steady communication the whole way.
Coastal living
Waterfront and coastal homes.
Living near the water is a lifestyle, and it comes with its own questions: flood zones, insurance, docks, seawalls and more. I’ll help you understand them before you fall in love with a view.
Client reviews
What clients say.
My experience working with Christina could not have been better! She should professionalism and her negotiation skills, her ability to be compassionate and calm my fears. I would hire her again in a minute!
Christina is an excellent communicator! She fights HARD for her clients and knows how to get them exactly what they need. Her ethics are flawless. I feel completely at ease, trusting her with multi-millions worth in transactions. I’m never going anywhere else and highly recommend her to my family, friends and anyone looking for their forever home or investment property.
Christina was responsive, had great communication and negotiation skills. She had all the right people on her team who were ready to handle anything we needed as we moved throughout the selling and buying process.
