Christina Lynn De Santis
Real Estate Agent (Salesperson)
Tustin - CA

Kina De Santis, recognized as a 2022 RealTrends Best Real Estate Professional and an Orange Coast magazine Real Estate All-Star, embarked on her professional journey at the age of 13. By the time she reached high school, she had already embraced entrepreneurship. At 17, her innovative ideas gained traction at a startup convention, leading to the launch of an angel-backed startup while she simultaneously managed Chapman University’s entrepreneur organization. These formative experiences provided her with invaluable insights into business management and client relations.

Upon earning her degree in business administration from Chapman, Kina honed her operational skills at various startups while obtaining her real estate license. Her entry into real estate began with the sale of her first home to a friend during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, an experience that illuminated the gaps in the traditional real estate process. Through numerous conversations with individuals seeking assistance, she mastered transaction management and built her business by actively disseminating industry knowledge on social media, effectively lowering barriers for prospective buyers and sellers. Once she dedicated herself fully to real estate, she achieved remarkable success, selling 73 homes within her first two years as a full-time agent.

Kina employs a tech-driven approach to streamline the real estate process for her clients. With a focus on first-time buyers and sellers, she guides them through each phase of the transaction, ensuring they are well-informed and equipped to make sound investment decisions. She produces educational videos and simplifies contract details, clarifying their implications for her clients' long-term interests. Additionally, with her expertise in home renovation and remodeling, Kina assesses the scope of necessary projects and collaborates with a network of professionals to enhance properties both before sale and after purchase.
