Christina helped my husband and I buy our first house and I could not recommend her enough. She made the homebuying process so easy and so stress-free. I really appreciated her consistent and timely communication as well as her guidance and expertise when we were viewing homes. She also had great knowledge of the areas we were looking in and it really help us figure out the location we wanted to be in and the type of house we needed to look for. I can't think Christina enough for supporting us in this journey and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home, especially first-time homebuyers.

Christina was so helpful and knowledgeable! She was great to work with and kept me updated on sale of my dad’s house. I was working with her out of state and she made the whole process easy and less stressful! I highly recommend Christina if you are selling or buying!

Christina is an absolute powerhouse. Not only does she run circles around everyone else, when she says she is going to do something, she does it! She had all the behind-the-scenes work done before the “For Sale” sign was even in the yard. As a result we had an offer the day after the sign went up and we accepted the next day. Simple, Yes; Easy, Yes…for us anyway, but it was all due to Christina’s due diligence. I am very impressed, you will be too.

Absolutely horrendous experience. My property was listed with this group since 10 July 2025 and I haven’t received ONE offer. They don’t do open houses and communication is nonexistent. The last time I spoke my with agent at Niva, Christina, was in November 2025 where I called about repair completion. I’ve received zero calls about strategy, zero contact about comps. I tried calling the head broker, Justin, three times (02 Feb, 13 Feb, and 18 Feb) and left voicemails and he didn’t even have the decency to contact me back. When I spoke with my agent, Christina, today, she stated I was being “ridiculous” and that I was “aggravating her anxiety” about their inability to contact me to discuss strategy to sell the home - their job. If you want to sell a home, this agency is not it. Do better.

Our experience with Christina was amazing! I knew right away that she would be a good fit for us. She was not pushy in the early stages of meeting and made us feel comfortable from the start. We were going through this process as first-time home buyers and were also new to the state, due to military relocation. She went above and beyond with her communication to support us – using email, text, and phone calls at appropriate times. When we first came to visit and house hunt, we saw 25 houses in three days with her, in addition to virtual open house showings she did for us when we were not yet in the state. She also helped by referring us to her preferred mortgage company and home inspector. This was extremely helpful because we would have been lost trying to choose our own otherwise. I would recommend Christina and her company, NIVA Realty for anyone buying a house in the area. I know she will continue to be a resource for us in the future, as a friend and a professional. Thank you, Christina!
