Our Services
Languages: French and Spanish
Foreign Buyers and Sellers
With her language skills and legal background as an attorney, Christine is uniquely qualified to advise foreign buyers and sellers in the purchase and sale of real estate both in New York and elsewhere in the United States. She is able to refer to top agents in most major markets.
Many foreign buyers do not realize that the seller’s broker does not represent their interests. Buyers put themselves at risk if they do not use a qualified, experienced broker.
Making the Right Introductions
Christine and her team enjoy longstanding relations with bilingual real estate attorneys and mortgage brokers who specialize in working with international buyers, and can make introductions to trusted property management companies for those purchasing an investment property.
Extensive Network
Through her vast network of connections, Christine can provide access to premier properties not only in New York but also in other major markets worldwide, connecting clients with top brokers for seamless transactions. With her long-standing strong relationships to other top brokers in New York, she has also has access to off-market listings. Having grown up in the city and as a member of a number of private clubs and philanthropic organizations, Christine has access to board members and shareholders of many of the top cooperatives in the city and will reach out to them as needed.
Discretion and Confidentiality
As top producers at Compass, she and team have their own private office allowing them to provide confidentiality in a safe environment to address sensitive topics and personal matters. They also safeguard your information in a secure, private setting and destroy or return private documentation when no longer needed. She never speaks to the press without first consulting the client.
Compass X BARNES: A Global Luxury Referral Program
Expanding and elevating our luxury offerings and reach are paramount to the Luxury Division, and Compass has taken the significant initiative of establishing an affiliate referral program with leading international firm BARNES International Realty. For high-net-worth individuals, buying and selling international properties presents extraordinary opportunities for investment and enjoyment, and Compass’ agents are now able to serve and empower our high-net-worth clients at a global level.
What is Compass x BARNES?
Through Compass’ affiliate referral program with BARNES, our agents now have direct access to their international ultra-high-net worth clientele. This means when an international BARNES client would like to purchase a home in certain markets across the United States, they will be directly referred to a Compass agent. The same holds true when Compass’ luxury clients wish to purchase a home overseas: the buyer and their Compass agent will be directly referred to a BARNES agent. This concierge-style networking tool is especially advantageous for American citizens buying abroad, where luxury and ultra-luxury properties are often exclusively shown by a single brokerage or simply off-market. Since BARNES is the #1 brokerage in France and a top brokerage in the most coveted luxury international markets, BARNES represents a high proportion of luxury inventory, giving Compass agents direct access to the most exclusive properties.
