Feminine Marketing With Christina Livingston

As a Nashville Native and faith filled woman, Christina Livingston finds her grassroots to be deep in the heart of Tennessee. Throughout her previous 15 years serving in the mortgage industry, she gained an insider’s perspective on the intricate needs of the marketplace from the numerous relationships she has with top earning agents and extraordinary vendors. Very quickly, Christina realized she had a natural talent for being on live broadcasts, working red carpet, filming video tutorials and inspirational video series, and captivating audiences around her in a variety of venues. Public speaking has been a natural talent of hers since her elementary school years. She left her career of mortgage financing to pursue her dream in media and scaling SOAR to new heights.

Christina formed SOAR as an altogether new concept that up until now did not exist in real estate or marketplace platforms. SOAR stands tall in a category of its own and heralds the praises of Contributors and the top influencers of real estate throughout the Greater Nashville area. The SOAR mission is to live up the name of the company, which is an acronym for Strengthening Opportunities Around Real Estate.
