• Christina Sellers - Lead Agent

    I am obsessed with this area. Coming from the city in 2015, I have found a home, not only Upstate - but in real estate.

    In today’s changing market, I have strategies that help owners get the highest price for their house and sell it quick! When it comes to buying - there are many different ways to approach buying a home. That’s why I’m here. Quite literally.

    Casually looking at houses during one of my weekend jaunts, I found the house in Olivebridge, NY. A small cabin in the middle of the Catskill Mountains. I gutted it, reworked the layout, put in all new... everything! The rest is history.

    When you choose to work with me, you get more than you’ve asked for - you get a commitment and energy that you didn’t realize you needed! And a team to back me up.

    I look forward to helping you buy or sell the place you call home! It’s what I love. Let me help you write your next chapter in this incredible area. Reach out to me day or night. If I’m not available, leave a message or text and I’ll get back to you asap. I’m here! Always.
