Over the past five years, she has used these skills to successfully build her real estate business in New Hampshire and Maine, working with Buyers and Sellers to achieve their real estate goals.

The Seacoast has been Christa’s home for 30 years since venturing here from the Midwest to attend the University of New Hampshire. She fell in love with the lifestyle and is happy to call this special place home. Raising four children has afforded Christa firsthand experience and knowledge of the benefits and opportunities of the local communities.

Christa’s guiding principle as a REALTOR® is simple, to foster the well-being and success of her clients.  This is achieved through being a good listener, having strong market awareness, client-focused relationships, excellent attention to detail, and strong time management skills. She has strong connections with local lenders, title companies, and various service providers to help facilitate a smooth transaction.  Christa works tirelessly to help her clients achieve their goals.

In addition, she is an avid reader, yoga lover, hiker, and skier (embraces all this NE has to offer). Best of all she prides herself on being Mom to four active teenagers and has/can be seen cheering on the sidelines of (too many to count) track, soccer, football, basketball, lacrosse, swimming, cross country, and little league events all over the Seacoast. 

Christa prides herself on building relationships based on trust, honesty, and integrity. She is warm yet professional, responsive, engaged, and accountable, and with her positive attitude, she truly believes there is always a solution.  Christa is looking forward to sharing her expertise and working together to meet your current and future needs.
