Resources for Results

While it’s rewarding to serve another, it’s a true honor to be able to keep that spirit alive through time.

That’s one of the hallmarks of the level of service that Christine Danuser and Julie Rado provide.

Relishing Their Role

As Principals of the Danuser Rado Group with Compass, Christine and Julie relish having the chance to serve as ongoing resources for results.

“My absolute favorite part is getting to know clients and making sure that if you are buying or selling that everything is aligned. It’s important to make sure they are getting what they want … making sure that we are communicating well and providing that close-in, collaborative service,” Christine says.

“Julie and I have been fortunate. We have amazing lenders, title companies, handymen, and other members of the trades. We have established relationships with them. It’s important to us to be able to provide our clients with whatever they need to make their journey easier.”

Julie agrees. She enjoys the way each day is new and different that the one before.

“It’s very fast-paced. I don’t think I could sit at a desk all day. We both love people, and we are very proud of our relationships with other agents across the city,” Julie says. “That helps us in multiple-offer situations and bringing other ideas to the table.”

Opening New Doors

Julie earned her license in 2016, and Christine entered the business in 2017.

Before getting into the business, Christine worked in marketing and public relations. She graduated from the University of Texas and then moved to Los Angeles to work at a public relations agency. In time, when she and her husband got married, they decided to move back to Dallas.

After moving back to Dallas, Christine worked in public relations and crisis communications in the corporate world. In 2012, she began working with her husband, who owns Tatum Brown Custom Homes, handling the firm’s advertising and marketing efforts.

“We love homes, and even when we were dating in California, we would go to open houses and enjoyed looking,” Christine says. “I got my license to help out with the family business, it escalated quickly, and I was able to build a real estate business alongside that.”

Before her journey in real estate began, Julie and her husband began their family. Before that, she had served as the Director of Marketing for a Law Firm in Dallas and Denver.

“That’s where I gained my understanding of client and business development and that has translated into real estate, especially the importance of nurturing and maintaining those relationships,” Julie says.

“I moved back to Dallas to start a family. I wanted to make sure that I could give it my all and so I waited until they were in school and preschool all day. I didn’t want to be a part-time agent.”

Sharing The Journey

The two first joined forces in July 2019.

“I remember meeting Christine at a tennis event and someone had suggested that we team up. Once Compass was recruiting me, I knew I didn’t want to be on my own,” Julie says. “I go off my instincts, and it was a great instinct to call Christine. We have done a lot with our team.”

As Christine says, “We have a lot of mutual respect for each other. We have our own clients but they get to benefit from us bouncing ideas off each other. We have been together for four years. We have a similar work ethic, and it has been an amazing opportunity to start our own group at Compass.”

Joining Christine and Julie on their team today is Lauren

Haley, who works as an Agent, and Kelli Macatee who serves as the team’s Director of Operations.

“They are wonderful to work with,” Christine says. “With their teamwork, we have been able to move critical items forward. And their work allows us to spend more face-to-face time with our clients.”

LIFE’S

Fulfillment

Family plays an integral part in life for both ladies.

Christine and her husband, Mark, cherish time with their children — 15-year-old daughter, Ava, who is in high school; and 13-year-old son, Hudson, who is in 7th grade. Away from work, Christine looks forward to travel adventures, playing tennis, and continuing to learn mahjong. When it comes to giving back, Christie and her family support local cancer support organizations.

Julie looks forward to time with her husband, Steve, and their children — 13-year-old son, George, who is in 7th grade, and 12-year-old son, Henry, who is in 5th grade. In her free time, Julie has a passion for tennis, staying active, working out, traveling, and enjoying time with friends and family. She also serves on the Board of Directors of Goodwill.

Whether they are supporting the needs of their clients, team members, or community, Christine and Julie are totally focused on providing ongoing value for those they know … as reliable and creative resources for results.
