Christina Pope is a Senior Global Real Estate Advisor with Sotheby’s International Realty, specializing in commercial, investment, development, and off-market real estate opportunities. Based in Los Angeles with an international network spanning Dubai, Europe, and other global markets, Christina advises private investors, family offices, developers, property owners, and businesses on acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, and strategic real estate decisions.
Christina’s approach is both relationship-driven and highly analytical. She combines market intelligence, comparable transactions, development activity, zoning and land-use considerations, tenant and buyer behavior, and on- and off-market activity to help clients evaluate opportunities from multiple perspectives. Her focus extends beyond what an asset is worth today to the factors that may influence its position, usability, and value over time.
Her commercial practice encompasses office and medical properties, hospitality, multifamily and mixed-use assets, development sites, land, and other investment opportunities. She also works with developers and investors evaluating site potential, acquisition strategy, market positioning, leasing, redevelopment, and exit strategies.
A significant part of Christina’s business is relationship-based and conducted privately. Through an extensive network of property owners, developers, investors, agents, business managers, attorneys, and professional advisors, she is frequently involved with opportunities before they reach the broader market. She believes that in sophisticated real estate transactions, access to the right relationships and information can be just as valuable as access to inventory.
For owners and landlords, Christina develops targeted positioning and leasing strategies designed to reach the most relevant tenants, operators, investors, and decision-makers. When appropriate, she utilizes private outreach through her professional network before introducing an asset to the broader marketplace.
For acquisition clients, Christina looks beyond traditional marketing materials to evaluate development potential, surrounding investment, zoning, infrastructure, tenant demand, redevelopment possibilities, and changes within a submarket that could affect the investment thesis.
Christina began her real estate career in Dubai, giving her a strong foundation in international and cross-border real estate. Today, she combines that global perspective with extensive knowledge of Los Angeles, helping international clients navigate U.S. opportunities while also connecting U.S.-based investors with opportunities abroad.
Her transactions often involve collaboration with attorneys, lenders, title professionals, architects, contractors, developers, land-use specialists, and other advisors. Christina sees her role as connecting the real estate strategy to the client’s larger investment or business objectives while bringing the appropriate specialists into the process when necessary.
Whether representing an investor, developer, landlord, tenant, property owner, or international client, Christina’s objective is to provide informed advice, strategic negotiation, discreet representation, and access to opportunities that may not be readily available through traditional channels.
Her practice is built on a simple philosophy: exceptional real estate advisory is not just about finding inventory it is about creating access to opportunities, relationships, intelligence, and the right people at the right time.
