About Christina Legrand
Founder of the Cedar Park TX Living Team
Community Builder and Client Advocate
I have been a licensed Realtor since 2004. While pursuing a career in non-profit administration, I began investing in real estate personally and got “the bug”. I love finding great deals, staging, decorating, landscape design and helping people. So, real estate is right up my alley!
However, I wanted to do things a little different than the traditional Agent. I didn’t want to just be a handler of transactions, which is important of course. For me, real estate isn’t just about selling houses. It’s about being part of a community and finding a place you can truly call home. It’s about making a life and creating a lifestyle.
It’s also a big investment! For most people buying and selling a home is one of the biggest financial transactions of their lifetime. I take all of this very serious and work hard to bring peace of mind and education about the process though expert guidance and detailed explanation throughout the process.
With a service first mindset, I pride myself in being an excellent communicator and a natural negotiator. My goal is to educate clients comprehensively so they feel comfortable and confident in their real estate decisions. Combining in-depth market knowledge with innovative marketing strategies and no-nonsense negotiation experience, I am able to deliver a client experience unlike most agents out there today, because I care. I promise I will always look out for YOUR best interest!
Whether you are buying, selling or just living here, I hope you will enjoy my unique approach to real estate sales. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you.
Your Local Resource
How did I become the local Cedar Park expert? I work hard to involve myself in my community. Whether it is serving on local boards, attending City meetings, networking with local business owners, volunteering in the schools, getting involved with community groups or just socializing and having fun, I am living the Cedar Park lifestyle. I love sharing my experiences as I am out and about meeting local residents from all walks of life and all ages, getting to know local business owners, staying on top of local happenings and developments and attending classes and event related to economic development.
While staying on top of local real estate market activity, I get out there and drive all the neighborhoods, tour homes, work with buyers and sellers, study market trends, follow the latest commercial developments, new communities and what’s coming our way. There are great things on the horizon for Cedar Park! Being in the market helps me deliver the most up-to-date and relevant information to my clients so they can make informed decisions for their housing needs.
Although my passion and career is in real estate, I have always been committed to volunteering with non-profits and serving my local community. I currently volunteer in a wide variety of roles around the community including managing my neighborhood voluntary association. After serving on the City of Cedar Park’s PACE Board (Parks, Arts and Cultural Enrichment), where I had the opportunity to help guide the City’s Park, Arts and Recreational opportunities, I transitioned into a co-founder of the Parks & Trails Foundation of Cedar Park, where I currently serve as Vice-Chair. In just 3 short years, we have grown into a full-fledged local non profit organization engaging the community in our beautiful parks and trails. One of Cedar Park’s greatest assets is our extensive network of 43 City Parks, miles of trails and many neighborhood parks. Preserving, protecting and enhancing these green spaces is one of my greatest passions!
Starting in 2016, I built Cedar Park TX Living as a local community minded website that strives to be a resource for all things Cedar Park including things to do, local events, real estate and more. As a small business owner myself, I love to give back to fellow local business owners and help promote local by offering free promos in my Business Spotlight section. I believe this makes for a stronger, more vibrant community when we support each other and get to know our neighbors.
My Career
I hold a Master’s Degree in Non Profit and Business Administration from California State University, Northridge. I worked for many years in the non-profit world as Director of a family foundation and on the fundraising side of a mentoring organization in Los Angeles affiliated with the movie industry. I also a short stint in the corporate world for Blue Cross of CA, Medicaid division, after which I started my real estate career in 2004 with RE/MAX in Thousand Oaks, CA. I quickly rose to the top and earned a Rising Star award my first year followed by Executive Club and 100% Club nearly every year after. I have earned several designations over the years including ePro, Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, Accredited Buyer Agency Representative, Certified Real Estate Negotiator and Seniors Real Estate Specialist. When my family moved to North Carolina for my husband’s job in 2009, I got my NC real estate license and worked for a Keller Williams Team as their marketing manager. While in NC, I also started Real Estate Technology Associates, a real estate marketing company dedicated to helping Realtors with their online lead generation, web development and branding for Keller Williams agents all over the country. When we moved to Cedar Park in 2013, following my husband’s career path, I continued my real estate marketing business while I worked on getting my TX real estate license.
In 2015, I obtained my TX real estate license and started up my real estate sales career again. With all of the knowledge and experience I already had, even though I knew no one here, I jumped into the market and my business took off quickly, earning 100% Club again each year with RE/MAX and earning Top 5 for RE/MAX in Central Texas region, Number 1 Agent in my office, RE/MAX Hall of Fame and Platinum Club in 2021. I built this website myself from scratch, adding content as I learned the area and had fun with the family along the way.
After 19 years with RE/MAX, I made a change to focus on growing my own brand, Cedar Park TX Living. With more control over marketing and more flexibility to be hyper local, I can offer even more services to my clients and better serve my community. Partnering with long time local broker and commercial real estate expert, Mark Taylor, with Venture Partners RE, my business partner Stephanie Reyna and I strive to be the one stop resource for residential and commercial ventures in Cedar Park.
Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES)
I also have a passion for working with our 55+ community. Over the years I have seen seniors fall prey to unscrupulous sales people. I also understand, from assisting my mother with her housing and financial needs, that it can be very overwhelming and confusing to navigate everything. Many families relocate here for jobs and the parents follow. Managing careers, kids and mom and dad can be a lot to handle.
That’s why I have taken extra training to earn my Senior Real Estate Specialist Designation through the National Association of Realtors. I have worked with many seniors in the area who have sold their homes and downsized to a smaller home or rental apartment. I have also worked with seniors relocating to the area who are looking to enjoy the Austin lifestyle or be closer to their extended families. No matter what the occasion, I am here to guide them every step of the way. Over the years, I have also developed a wonderful team of caring professionals whom I can confidently refer to my clients. From moving companies, handy helpers, downsizing experts, financial advisors to caregivers, my team is ready to help.
Certified Real Estate Negotiator (CREN)
After decades of transactions assisting buyers, sellers, investors and tenants navigate the real estate process, I obtained my official certification as a real estate negotiation expert. While getting a certification is important, what really matters in negotiations is listening, more than talking; anticipating opportunities and road blocks and taking action accordingly; being in tune with people’s needs, wants and timelines and finding solutions rather than creating problems. There are literally thousand of real estate agents out there to choose from, but consumers need to do their due diligence and choose wisely. Your agent matters. Choose someone who has the experience, education and commitment to ensure you are properly represented. I will earn your business!
