About Christine

A Pennsylvania native, Christine earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Education, followed by a Certificate in Strategic Hospitality Management from Cornell. Her subsequent professional positions took her to Florida, Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles during her years spent as an educator and well over a decade in management in the hospitality industry. Her major supervisory role on the opening team of The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles and JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, for example, contributed immensely to her business, communication and organizational acumen. Overall, those invaluable experiences allowed her to develop and build on the organization, negotiation and people skills vital in her role as a Realtor.

That ability, combined with her myriad talents and skills, places her in an elite group of real estate professionals. It is an echelon requiring constant development in the areas of contracts, market study, state-of-the-art marketing technology and more. Even her personal interests such as tennis and Bikram Yoga are challenging on many levels. In fact, accepting and excelling at both professional and personal challenges are what ultimately sets Christine apart from her peers and spell success on behalf of her clients.

She was always quick to respond, listened to my requests & was spot on in follow through showing both sensitivity & exquisite skill in negotiating.
