"We have used Christina to purchase and rent out homes. She has always done an amazing job for us. She knows the Irvine area very well and is up to date on pricing for sales/buying and renting prices."

"Christina Shaw is the epitome of what a professional and seasoned realtor should be. She was knowledgeable, honest and always available to make us feel at ease in selling our home. She was quite wonderful to work with!"

– Nerissa N.

"Christina really understood what we were looking for. We had an awful experience with our first real estate agent who was unprofessional that made selling our house a nightmare. Don't be fooled by agents that gives you a PowerPoint presentation but in the end does not do their job. A waste of time and money. Thankfully after our contract ended with him we found @christinashaw of Pacific Sotheby's International Realty. There was no anxiety or stress with Christina and Sotheby's. We would recommend her to family, friends or to anyone looking for someone who is selling or buying a new home. Christina gives more than 200% in all work that she does."

– Emily M.

"Working with Christina was such a pleasure. She helped us purchase our new home and we found her to be incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. She cares about the experience and it shows in everything she handles. Christina is the complete professional, working until the job is finished. We really appreciated having the chance to work with her on this purchase and would highly recommend her to anyone. You will be in good hands!"

"When we met Christina, my wife and I wanted to buy a home, but weren't sure we'd find something that fit our needs. Christina listened to our needs and took the time to get to know what we wanted and helped steer us in the right direction. When a unit came up we were very interested in, she wasted no time getting us in to the first available showing and guided us to the winning bid. She knew exactly what areas to add pressure and where to lay off. Going through the negotiations, she did an amazing job getting us a fair price and took extra time trying to get us as much as she could. This home buying experience went very smoothly and much of it was thanks to Christina."

– Jesse K.

"Again, we want to express our sincere appreciation for what Christina did for us in the past three months. Honestly speaking, our case is a not an easy one -- we still had a nice tenant when we decided to sell the house due to personal reasons (a lot of struggling!). Christina is super helpful, advised us how we should handle the situation in a friendly and reasonable way. She also provided us the confidence based on her 30+ years' experience in the market. We are not in California, so she basically handled everything for us (much more than those requested for a realtor to do): to connect/disconnect the utilities; to prepare for the staging; to do the final walk; to arrange for some repair; and to contact the moving company, etc. We got multiple cash offers within a week after showing the house, and reached a very reasonable price within 2 weeks. Our project was eventually closed within around 6 weeks, we understand this won't be possible without the great assistant from Christina, Super!"

"We first met Christina at an open house for a home she was representing as the listing agent. She warmly greeted us and proceeded to get to know us and what our family was looking for. With ease, she shared so much of her knowledge of Irvine, the house specifically, and felt it was a match for us. From there, she took us under her wing and acted with urgency and efficiency for every step of the process. Our closing was extremely smooth and she was able to push for an incredibly short duration per our request. She oversaw every repair, maintenance, and doc signing in an organized and timely manner, with very little input needed from us, all the while keeping us informed and updated so we felt connected to the whole process. She delivers the exceptional balance of being caring whilst being the ultimate professional and gets the impossible done with her "can-do" attitude. We are so thankful to have met her and benefitted from her Real Estate expertise!"

"Christina is the best real estate agent we’ve worked with, trust-worthy, super knowledgeable, extremely diligent and efficient, and very professional.

We met Christina when we were looking for a property in Irvine. Christina started with a detailed presentation about the local market trends and gave us a very insightful analysis of each of Irvine’s main neighborhoods. She knows these markets like the back of her hand and is extremely good at combining the vast amount of market data/stats and her market acumen to identify the most attractive opportunities. Under her guidance, it didn’t take long for us to complete the transaction. Later, it became evident to us that Christina’s coverage and expertise extends far beyond Irvine to most of Orange County, Riverside and San Diego.

Christina must be one of the most efficient and diligent real estate agents out there. When we work with Christina, we are always impressed by how quickly she understands our needs, proposes solutions and executes on the plan. Christina is a very good listener and seems accessible almost 24/7, extremely diligent and quick to get things done. For these reasons, the moment we contact Christina for a real estate issue, we know she will be fully on the case and a resolution can be expected fairly soon.

When we work with Christina, we can feel her passion for her industry. She is constantly educating herself about the latest market trends and regulations. Her passion is contagious, also reassuring, that we are in good hands when she represents us.

Over the years, Christina has become a trusted friend. We appreciate her dedication, knowledge, attention to details and diligence and believe you will too. So, if you are looking for a real estate agent, look no further, Christina has all the qualities that make her a top real estate agent."

I cannot speak highly enough of her work, which is professional and friendly and always respond to phone calls and emails immediately. I just want to say a massive thank you to Christina for being so helpful and providing specialized advice during our purchasing process.

"This is my third time working with Christina Shaw, and once again she exceeded my expectations! Christina was able to completely transform a 1980s condo into a modern-looking property in the space of a single week! She selected the new hard flooring and baseboard, the designer paint, refresh the kitchen, and the staging. With these dramatic but economic improvements, and despite a challenging market the condo received an offer within a matter of days. Christina is always thorough, dedicated, and accessible. Due to her wealth of experience, she knows how to handle any situation that comes up, and always keeps a cool head. She is also extremely candid and realistic in her appraisals, which is to be commended. Her estimates regarding how long it would take to complete each stage of the journey--the initial upgrades I mentioned, open houses & marketing, and then the Escrow process itself once we accepted an offer--were right on the mark. Christina knows how to achieve maximum results in minimum time. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone who is looking for a great listing realtor!"

"Christina has been very helpful and knowledgeable since day-1 we met till the contract was finally signed. My wife and I are very satisfied with her professional services. Her sharp vision of the market and excellent negotiation skills not only give us a hassle-free experience but also help us get the best price we want. We'll definitely use her service again, and have no doubt to recommend her to anyone who wants to buy/sell/rent a house.
Professional service, satisfied results!"

"We had a great home buying experience with Christina? Shaw?. She introduced us to a great home and we purchased a few days later. She was there for all our paperwork signings and even for the design center visit?. She was then great at finding a renter for us in less than a week; she had comparable rents for our home available for review. She then handled all the paperwork and deposits for renting the unit. She ?even ?helped communicate with the ?tenant? when ?there was a issue with ?the air conditioner on a very hot weekend right after they moved in. Christine Shaw has been there for us throughout the purchase and rental of our first investment property. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone who is looking for a realtor."

"I have had the fortunate opportunity of meeting our realtor, Christina Shaw, on Zillow.com. I was in the process of looking for a rental home in the Irvine area. As some of you may have experienced, contacting a realtor from Zillow is either a hit or a miss. Some will eagerly get back to you, and other times you won’t receive a response or acknowledgment.

My experience with Christina is above and beyond what I expected. Christina immediately contacted me after I sent a request to view one of her listings. Unfortunately, her listing had already rented out, however, she kindly asked if she could represent us as our realtor. I gave her the opportunity to find us a nice rental home, which she worked diligently to get us in a desirable home within a few weeks. During the move-in inspection, Christina was very particular and paid attention to every little detail. She truly represented us as the renters and looked out for our best interests.

After moving into our rental home, we chose Christina to be our realtor for selling our current home. I sat down with Christina and she provided a detailed analysis of the current housing market. We both came to an agreement on an appropriate listing price based on the analysis. Christina essentially guaranteed that she would have our home sold in a timely manner. She made many recommendations along the way and at no point did I feel any pressure to do something I did not want to do.

With Christina’s recommendations, I reconditioned the home to a desirable turnkey immediate move-in home. Christina provided recommendations on professional painters, carpet and tile cleaners, and a staging crew with full furniture and accessories. Christina’s team had weekly open houses, and within weeks, we were able to secure a buyer.

So, in summary, I would highly recommend Christina Shaw and her team without reservation. She is a hardworking individual and will always get back to you immediately. She looks out for your best interest as her client. She will not steer you in the wrong direction. I would definitely use Christina again when it is time for us to make our next home purchase in the next few years. "

"It is with great pleasure that I recommend Christina Shaw as an exceptional agent and advisor throughout the process of purchasing a first home. Through each step, Christina displayed a high degree of integrity, responsiveness, and attention to detail. She was available at all hours to help with next steps and answer questions. She facilitated communications between me, my lender, and the escrow company with ease. She explained the more complex parts of the process to make sure I understood what I was signing, what I needed to do, where I needed to be, and when. She made me feel confident that I was making the right decisions, and gave me advice on what offers to make to maximize my chances of getting a home I would love within my means. Christina was able to get the very first offer I made accepted, and for less than the appraisal value of the home. She was also able to negotiate repairs with no hassle to me. As a single mom, I appreciated how much she valued my time. I can with confidence give Christina my wholehearted recommendation as an agent, especially for a first time homeowner with many, many questions."

– Rebecca Fowler

"We are writing to express our complete satisfaction with Christina Shaw as our buyer agent. Throughout the entire buying process, Christina was professional, conscientious, and motivated.

With Christina on our side, the buying process was so smooth and we bought our ideal home with an unexpected bargain price.

We highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a highly effective, efficient, and reliable real estate agent. "

"I made a decision to move down to Irvine from Silicon Valley. Knowing no one there, I definitely needed a reliable realtor. Christina came to the picture because of the words of mouth. I didn't have much time and needed to find a house to move in. Christina was very professional. She sent me emails of the listing houses, keeping me informed of the present market. When kids and I finally took a 4-day house hunting trip, she had everything organized. She wasted no time to acquaint us with Irvine neighborhoods and show us the target houses. I was so impresses at her knowledge, efficiency, and bargaining talent. She has been a local resident for two decades. She shared with me her experiences of raising up her own children, which I feel is a big plus to us since my two boys are transitioning to a different school district. I was also touched by her hospitality, generosity, and genuine caring for us as a family. I was able to find a desirable house within a short period of time. Christina helped me with all the transactions using e-docs, which saved lots of troubles. She also referred to me many things I needed, including school information, home-owner insurance, furniture stores, etc. After we came back from the trip and in the midst of her busy schedule, Christina continued to take care of all the practical details while I was away. Overall, my business experience with her is very pleasant and beyond expectations. Moving is a stress. I am so glad I chose Christina! "

– Irene Chu

"As our real estate agent, Christina Shaw did an excellent job from start to finish. We had been searching for a house on our own for several months without much success when we finally decided to get professional help. Finding Christina was an answer to our prayer. She really did go the “extra mile” and did above and beyond what we expected from any other real estate agent. Not only does Christina have many years of experience in real estate, is sharp and knows the market well, but she also cares about the spiritual aspect of purchasing a home. One thing we really appreciate is that whenever we met with Christina to view a home, she always took the time to show us more than one house, and not just the one we had asked to see. It is for that very reason that we were able to find our present home. Christina did a great job negotiating with the seller /listing agent. She also worked fast and efficiently. From the time Christina started working with us until the day we received the keys to our new home took only a few months. We are very happy and pleased with our home purchase and truly grateful to Christina for her service. She really cares about her customer as a whole. We are quite blessed to have met and known Christina."

"I would like to share my experience with my Realtor, Christina Shaw. During this unfortunate economic time, I found it necessary to sell my home.
I knew it would be tough, but I tried anyway. Christina Shaw was my listing agent and did an unbelievable job. Within a week of listing the home, she had a broker's preview and two open houses scheduled. Overall, she hosted over ten open houses. The advertising & marketing that she did for the house was beyond anything I had ever seen.
Unfortunately, the economy prevented us from selling the house and we turned our attention to a possible short sale. Christina took charge and got the ball rolling, she got 10 offers in 3 days, less than 2.5 months the short sale was closed and I was finally able to move on with my life. Thanks to Christina, this difficult transition was much smoother and easier than it would have been if I had chosen to work with someone who didn't put in the time, resources, and efforts that Christina did.
She was committed to selling my home and didn't stop until the mission was completed. I strongly recommend Christina as an agent because of her expertise coupled with her compassion and commitment to excellence."

"Me and my wife were a first time home buyers and just moved to Orange Country, CA not long ago from New York. Our family needed a house quickly so that our kids could go to school before the next school season starts. Then we met Christina, during an open house, who helped us purchsed our first home that so far we are very happy about it. We had couple of other agents as well, I'm sure they were all knowledgeable, but compare to them, Christina was much more honest, responsive, and due diligence. She not only found us a great home but also guided through each step purchase process, all within one month an a half. "
