Real estate is about experience.
“I don't rest until my clients are happy in the home of their dreams.”
I love working in real estate because it combines my passion for helping people with my life-long interest in where we live, and why. As a child was enthralled with real estate ads and thought everyone appeared to love what they were doing. Little did I know that I would have the privilege of working in this industry and love going to work every day.
I work with buyers to find the right home for their needs, and also help our sellers achieve mass appeal based on what buyers are currently looking for. I use my in-depth knowledge of Ottawa’s neighborhoods, communities, and real estate market to help my clients achieve their goals.
I would be happy to help you find the home of your dreams and guide you through the home buying process from start to finish.

Testimonials
The Rachel Hammer Team made us feel like family. They were so approachable, easy to work with, gave the right input and walked us through our first time home buying experience flawlessly! We could not have asked for a better group to represent us.
Christina was an amazing agent to work with. She remained patient with us and changed directions with us many times without hesitation. Being new to the city, Christina was very welcoming and made us feel like we were meeting with a family friend and not a real estate agent. We will highly recommend Christina and her team to anyone and everyone. It is very clear that Christina enjoys her work and it is a passion for her and not a job.
An outstanding experience. The use of online tools and capabilities really streamlined the house buying experience and brought peace of mind particularly during the agreement signature process. Christina Colton went out of her way to ensure our needs were met.
