About Christine
HTR Agents
Christine's journey into real estate was born from personal experience. Growing up in a family of lifelong renters and lower-wage employees, she moved frequently — attending 5 schools in 1st grade alone. That childhood housing instability fueled her passion for helping families put down roots.
In her late 40s, Christine earned her real estate license in October 2019, driven by the belief that every child deserves to come HOME to the same place every day — and that every family deserves to build wealth through property ownership & equity. Just five months into her career, the pandemic hit, but she adapted by leveraging social media and modern tools to serve her clients.

Our Story
I earned my real estate license in late October 2019 – and in March 2020 – PANDEMIC!!! The country went on lockdown!! I was only 5 months into this new career and was still growing a database of potential clients and customers. I was still learning how to do the job… but now I had no one to help.
There were no open houses, no contact, no going out, no dinners, no coffee meetings, nothing. But I put on my big girl boots and took them to social media. I met people through Zoom. I set up several ways to "chat" with me anytime online so the customers could find me easily. I had to be accessible for them where they were – and they were at home!
Hometowne Realty began as a single office with a handful of agents on Main Street in Clayton NC. In 2001, Barry Woodard and James Lipscomb launched this new enterprise with no expectations except to do the right thing. Every time.
I became a family member of Hometowne Realty (HTR) in Oct. 2019, was put through the required new agent "Bootcamp", and was enveloped by over 260 agents from all over the triangle region. I had never felt so welcome and so supported before. It was AWESOME and I knew that I was HOME!! HTR has grown in 20 years.
From that single office with a few agents in 2001, HTR is now 7 offices with nearly 300 agents.
My brokerage office, which I co-own with Barry and our partner Andrew Techet, is located at 328 E Main St, Clayton, NC 27520.
Our agents embrace the ideology of HTR – that this city is our Hometowne and these clients/customers are our neighbors & family, that we do the right thing every single time for every single person, and that we give back to our community through acts of service, donations of goods, commission deductions for various organizations and many other things that we don't promote because the importance is NOT in the recognition.
The value is in the act of giving – whether anyone knows about it or not.
"I can't speak highly enough of this team. Christine has an infectious smile and laugh and Glenn is a saint. They made me feel comfortable with every little question and concern. I worked out of state during the sale and they took care of every detail. You two are truly amazing!!"
"Christine is hands down, the best agent to work with in the market. She went above and beyond to make sure that I was successful. I feel like I got a white glove experience but if you know Christine, everyone she works with does."
"Christine was very professional and communicated throughout the home selling process. She was very knowledgeable. She did her research and helped us price the home right. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area!"
"Christine is the kind of person you need when digging through the details. She is diligent to the point, that I have seen her take a picture of a serial number on a stove. I felt like she upheld the agency discipline. Yes — I would recommend her."
