A real estate agent & Broker, Christa has over 20 years’ experience as a top producing REALTOR®, Sales Manager, Broker, and Trainer. Specializing in the Central, Historic, & Luxury Home Markets, she lives, works, and plays in the areas she works and sells in. This local-first knowledge helps ensure Christa is always up to speed on the latest market developments. Sitting on various community and REALTOR® boards (such as the Exterior Rehab Grant Program committee), she is in a unique position to help guide Buyers & Sellers in the ever-changing marketplace we call “home”.
A major part of her career is also spent working with other Agents. And why wouldn’t she? Over 92% of the homes sold are sold by other REALTORS®! As a new Agent, she found REALTOR® Tours to be a great resource for her clients’ marketing of their homes—and finding great homes even before they came on the market for her Buyers. She has continued that tradition of bringing other agents together for the betterment of their clients, and is the founder & coordinator of the Central City REALTOR® Tour, the Central City BUYER Open House Tour, & the Urban Tour. She is also a member of the Historic Tour, Arcadia Tour, the North Central REALTOR® Tour, the PVRMS Tour, & the Luxury Homes Tour.
When not working with Clients & other REALTORS®, much of Christa’s time is spent on her educational pursuits, and it shows: In addition to coaching Agents individually & in group seminars and classes, Christa was awarded the Master of Real Estate Designation in January 2010, which is held by only 234 others in the State (and there are over 60,000 Agents in Arizona!). This designation must be renewed every two years, and Christa has done so since her initial award. Other designations include Broker, Accredited Buyers Rep (ABR), Resort and Second Home Property Specialist (RSPS), Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), CSSN, e-PRO, PPS REA Certification, & the green® designation. She also holds the Luxury Property Specialist Certification, and is a top producing Agent in the luxury marketplaces of Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. She is also a skilled home remodeler & restoration specialist, and in addition to specializing in luxury & urban properties, Christa is well known throughout Arcadia, Biltmore, and the North Central corridor. A resident of the Encanto-Palmcroft Historic District for two decades, she has a passion for historic homes in particular, and truly enjoys restoring & renovating historic homes (she’s weird, we know!).
And on those rare occasions when she’s not building, renovating, buying or selling homes, Christa can often be found hiking. She is active in the special needs community, working with families affected by Autism, Dyslexia, Processing Disorders and Sensory Integration Disorders, and has raised service dogs through The Hairy Angel Foundation, one of which hikes with her on a regular basis. Her kids appreciate his sacrifice, because without the dogs (they have a rescued sheepdog as well), Christa would invariably drag them up a hill or two, too & given her predilection for not using maps, they spoil him accordingly.
