Cristina is a native Seattleite through and through. She was born and raised in West Seattle and moved to the north end of Seattle at the age of 18. Since then, she has enjoyed living and investing in many local communities throughout the area including Ballard, Magnolia, Bitter Lake, Greenwood and Blue Ridge and the neighboring cities of Edmonds, Shoreline and Everett.
Cristina became a Real Estate Broker and joined the Windermere team in 2005. Her top priority is to always offer an exceptional level of professionalism coupled with outstanding knowledge of the Real Estate industry. Over the years she has taken many continuing education courses and has also earned the designation of Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) and Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) which is only held by 4% of Realtors.
Prior to real estate, Cristina's love for both people and animals drew her to the field of veterinary medicine where she worked as a licensed Veterinary Technician for 18 years. Although she was not yet a licensed broker, real estate still played a major role in her life as she bought and sold local investment properties during these years. Fortunately, many of her clients share her love of animals and have pets of their own. Guiding them through the transition of buying or selling a home, while also making sure all of their pet's needs have been accounted for, is one of her greatest joys.
When Cristina is not working in real estate or managing her investment properties, you'll find her enjoying football, traveling, hiking, live theater, gardening, wine tasting, and enjoying friends at her home. She also finds great joy in supporting nonprofit organizations. Two of her favorites that she has supported for over 25 years are the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and The Puget Sound Blood Center.
