About Our Founder

When you genuinely care about people, real estate doesn’t feel like work - and with Cristina you can feel that straight away.

When genuine care is matched with true skill, the value created is far greater than most people can imagine.

Cristina cares about the people and the families behind every move. That’s why clients trust her and come back time and time again.

Cristina keeps things simple and clear, guiding her clients with honesty and calm confidence. She works hard to create strong buyer interest and achieve great results, and always in a way that feels right, not rushed or pressured.

She understands that every sale is more than just a transaction. It’s a step often tied to real emotions and change. Cristina meets that with genuine care, taking the time to support her clients with exceptional client care that would rival the Ritz Hotel (minus the room-service of course).

For her, it’s not just about property—it’s about helping people move forward with confidence and peace of mind, backed by skilled negotiation that gets her clients exceptional results —if it's out there, Cristina will get it!

Cristina and her husband are parents to three young adults and their greatest joy is watching them find their own way and purpose in the world. As well, Cristina loves to get into nature, from hiking rainforests to long ocean walks, she thrives on the feeling that only natural environments can give, and she brings this feeling of exhilaration and enthusiasm into everything she does.

I found Cristina to be a negotiator of well-above industry standard, whilst still being polite, efficient, and refreshingly easy to deal with. It’s obvious she brings many years of experience. I would definitely use her services again in the future.
