Working in real estate is about making dreams come true. You deserve a Realtor dedicated to helping nurture your dreams and your investment. Together with my network of experts, I am committed to making this a positive and successful process by providing world-class service every step of the way.
My real estate experience includes residential, office space, light industrial/flex space, renting & leasing, and international relocation (specializing in moves to and from Mexico). I am also fluent in Spanish.
I have lived in Washington, DC; Boston, MA; Greenville, SC; Charlotte, NC; Miami, FL; Houston, TX, and Fort Mill/Tega Cay, SC, which has been my home for almost 20 years.
Prior to becoming a Realtor, I ran a consulting firm with a specialty in sales channel development in foreign markets. Before that I ran a wax specialties business with my husband serving customers in over 40 countries, among them Brazil, Germany, Mexico, China, Argentina, and South Africa, while representing a wide variety of industries such as oil refining, adhesives, investment casting, chewing gum, tires, and, of course, candles.
My real estate industry career began in 1997 working as an Online Sales Manager/Product Manager with knightridder.com in Charlotte, North Carolina, where I was responsible for launching several websites and products with a concentration in real estate. Later I would join the real estate sales team at The Charlotte Observer.

"“Christine was a pleasure to work with! We met her at an open house in Baxter Villiage 3 years ago. Our son and family live in SC, so we were thinking of buying a second home.. We walked into an open house just for the fun of it.. Christine was hosting and we had a wonderful conversation with her. Very knowledgeable, kind and friendly. Took her info and kept it handy. Forward 2 years, and we gave her a call.. she was happy to hear from us and she got to work. It took some time, but we found the perfect property and closed in March 2022. We couldn’t be happier with the purchase and working with Christine!” - Val Raccuia, Client"

""In the wake of an economy ravaged by COVID, personal challenges related to a divorce and the costs and stresses associated with such a life altering event, and a market seeming flipped to favor sellers over buyers, Christine did in a few weeks what others would have been unable or unwilling to do if given months. She found me a home, helped me with finding a broker when mine couldn’t be reached (COVID) and walked me personally through the closing loan documents in my car (COVID). Beyond that she went with me to do the walk through and, months after the deal was complete, thought enough about me to bring me a pie on Thanksgiving. She also gave me a personal thank you gift customary for a broker however for me, it is something I will truly cherish the rest of my life. She is not just a mere Real Estate Agent, she is someone who will look and look until she finds the house you want that checks the boxes you requested. In my view, she is a homemaker. Please use her as an agent." "
