About Christina Hales

Christina’s Austin story began in 2008 when she moved to attend St. Edward’s University, later earning her Bachelor’s in Business Administration and Management. Drawn to community and connection, she helped launch Caffe Aragona with her mother—an Italian café that quickly became a downtown favorite. Over 6.5 years, Christina built meaningful relationships through thoughtful service and a deep appreciation for the people who make Austin home

 

In 2019, she stepped into real estate as a transaction coordinator with Coldwell Banker, managing the full lifecycle of up to 50 transactions at a time. Acting as the communicator between buyers, sellers, lenders, title companies, and agents, she navigated everything from contract deadlines and lending complications to amendments and title issues. This experience gave her a deep, practical understanding of real estate contracts and how every clause affects buyers and sellers.

 

Christina earned her license in 2022 and joined the Jenai Real Estate Group as both an agent and the team’s transaction manager. With a master’s in counseling, she brings a uniquely supportive approach to real estate—ensuring clients feel heard, informed, and cared for throughout the entire process. Clients consistently compliment her warmth, organization, and ability to walk them through each step with patience and clarity. Her biggest strength is anticipating the next move so clients always feel one step ahead rather than overwhelmed. She believes real estate is a partnership—and her goal is always to simplify the process so clients can move forward with confidence.

 

Outside of real estate, Christina is passionate about mental health advocacy. She loves spending time in nature, strolling through Pease Park, enjoying Austin’s music scene, relaxing with her fiancé and their cat, and heading out for weekend camping trips.
