I've helped 47+ buyers and sellers navigate Marion County real estate, from first-time buyers in Marion Oaks to retirees choosing between On Top of the World and Stone Creek. My job is to give you straight answers, local expertise, and zero pressure.

Why Local Actually Matters Here

Ocala is not a market you can work from across the state.

🏗

Builder relationships

I know the sales teams at every active builder in Marion County and have walked their model homes and communities firsthand. That local knowledge translates directly into better outcomes for buyers.

📍

Neighborhood-level pricing

Marion County has many micro-markets. Pricing in Marion Oaks, SW Ocala, and OTOW can differ significantly street by street. I track active and recent sales constantly to advise on fair offers.

📋

Marion County permitting

For workshop homes, horse properties, and acreage, I understand Marion County Growth Services permitting norms: what gets approved, what needs a variance, and where to verify before you commit.

How I Think About Real Estate

My job is to give you the most accurate picture I can, even when that picture is uncomfortable. If a house has a problem, I'll tell you. If a neighborhood is appreciating slower than the seller claims, I'll show you the data. If builder terms are one-sided, I'll flag it and tell you what to push back on.

What I'm not here to do is generate enthusiasm. There are enough enthusiastic real estate agents. What there aren't enough of are agents who will slow down and help you think through a decision carefully, the way a knowledgeable friend would.

That's the standard I hold myself to.

What Clients Say

Verified reviews from past buyers and sellers.

What I Specialize In

Not a generalist. I focus on the niches where Marion County buyers need the most expertise.

🏌

55+ Communities

On Top of the World, Stone Creek, Oak Run, SummerGlen. I know each community's HOA rules, hidden fees, and resale dynamics.

🐴

Horse Property & Acreage

Ocala is the Horse Capital of the World. I help buyers evaluate well water, septic, barn condition, pasture quality, and zoning.

🏗

New Construction

Builder contracts favor the builder. I represent buyers at Adams Homes, LGI, DR Horton, Century Complete, Maronda, Del Webb, and Colen Built so you're protected throughout.

🎖

VA Home Loans

I understand the VA process inside and out. $0 down, no PMI. I know which property conditions in Ocala commonly trigger VA minimum property requirement repairs, so you can make a stronger offer from the start.

🚚

Relocation Buyers

Moving from out of state? I've helped many buyers who had never set foot in Ocala find homes they love, both remotely and in person.

💵

Seller Representation

Pricing strategy, staging guidance, targeted marketing, and negotiation. Pricing and negotiation built to protect your equity.

Also available: property management, short-term rental investing, commercial and warehouse property, furnished homes, foreclosures and auctions, land and lots.

Credentials & Affiliations

Licensed, accountable, and affiliated with a global brokerage.

My Approach

I built this website because I got tired of clients calling me after spending hours on Zillow, confused about neighborhoods they'd never seen. Everything here is designed to save you time before we ever talk.

When you do reach out, you'll get straight answers, not a script. If a community isn't right for you, I'll tell you. If a home is overpriced, I'll tell you. If you'd be better served waiting six months, I'll tell you that too.

My business is built on referrals from past clients, which means every transaction I do has to be the kind you'd feel good telling a friend about.

I was born and raised in Marion County, and I served in the U.S. military before building my real estate practice here. When I came back home, I wanted to do work that mattered to people. There is nothing casual about buying or selling a home, and I built this practice around that belief. You deserve straight answers from someone who actually knows this county and has a reason to care about who moves in next door.

"I'm not here to pressure you into a deal. I'm here to help you make the best decision for your family, even if that decision is to wait."

Yes. Cristian is experienced with the VA home loan process and understands which property conditions may trigger VA minimum property requirement (MPR) repairs.

Does it cost a buyer anything to use Cristian as their agent on new construction?
