I guess it is best that I first introduce myself to you…my name is Christina Woerner and I am a Realtor in Indianapolis, Indiana (the home of the Indy 500 for those not exactly sure where Indiana is). This is my Blog in which I will share with you my life as a Realtor, a home owner, as well as interesting Real Estate news with periodic guest writers within my industry. In fact, I believe that I am one of the first Real Estate Blogs in Indiana!
First, I would like to share some background information about me. I relocated myself seven years ago to Indiana. I am a California native; born and raised in “the Valley”. Now, there are several “Valley’s” in California, but we Natives only refer to one VALLEY – the San Fernando Valley. Yes, I am a Valley Girl. Throughout the past several years my family has slowly migrated with various jobs and retirement to the Midwest. So, to answer your question, “Why would I ever move to Indiana?”- My answer is… family. I love California, however, Indiana is simply a great place to live and raise a family. Two years ago, I actually considered moving back to California, but love got the best of me and my Indiana bred boyfriend proposed. We got married September 18, 2004. Now, I am a “Hoosier”. Once I know the true definition of what a Hoosier truly is, I will inform all of you.
One can say that Real Estate is in my blood. Both of my sisters are Realtor’s, my father used to sell Real Estate, my Aunt and Uncle own two real estate offices in which both my cousins sell out of and I have another Aunt who works as their Mortgage officer. We all work for opposing companies…how’s that for an interesting dinner conversation? I am an agent with Carpenter Realtors
(Update: In March 2006 I left Carpenter Realtors and joined Keller Williams Realty). Besides selling real estate, I also worked in Carpenter's Relocation Division for five years where I handled Corporate Transferee’s, their homes, as well as Foreclosures. This has allowed me to see the good, bad, and ugly of real estate.
As I mentioned earlier, I am a newlywed. I often joke with my husband (well…it’s really not a joke, but the truth) that he is both my IT and Marketing Department in one. I couldn’t ask for a better husband. He is as an Acquisition Editor for Wiley Publishing. He works on the Dummies line….needless to say, I have a lot of yellow and black books lying around! We are very fortunate that life has given us some wonderful opportunities and at the end of the day can come home (stressed) and say we enjoy our professions. Not many people can say that these days.
We have a strong passion for travel. Our goal in life is to step foot on every continent. It is very humbling to travel outside of the U.S.A. and learn how other cultures live. This is a subject I feel passionately about and I will often share these experiences with you. Besides travel, I love reading, writing, animals (especially cats), and anything to do with the Ocean.
This is me in a nutshell and I welcome you to make comments, questions, or share your own stories on my site. My goal is to help you get acquainted with me and Indiana real estate.
