The Christensen Realty Group

What The Christensen Realty Group does

The Christensen Realty Group (CRG) is a privately held residential real estate brokerage founded in 1993 by Dan and Deb Christensen and headquartered in San Diego, California. The company operates as a husband-and-wife-led team of six full-time agents affiliated with the Keller Williams Realty North Inland franchise (BRE License #01870514), serving exclusively the Rancho Peñasquitos and Park Village communities in the 92128 ZIP code. CRG provides full-service buying and selling representation, with a service model that bundles professional photography, narrated video tours, aerial photography, 360-degree 3D virtual tours, complimentary staging consultation, MLS syndication to 19 international portals, and weekend open houses drawing 50-100 attendee groups.

The company's core service differentiators are two proprietary programs: Smart Fix-Ups™, in which the team coordinates and manages pre-sale contractor work with costs deferred to close of escrow (no upfront fees to the seller), and the 7 Day Blitz Marketing Program, which rapidly exposes new listings across multiple platforms within the first week on market, including Saturday and Sunday open houses. Supporting technology includes dedicated per-listing web pages using the property address as the URL, a content-marketing blog segmented by topic, and email newsletters to local subscribers. CRG claims 116 homes sold in Rancho Peñasquitos over the past 5 years, an average price per square foot of $856 versus a $711 market average, and an average of 7 days on market.

Revenue is generated through standard real estate transaction commissions on completed home sales (industry-typical 5-6% of sale price, split with buyer-side agents and the KW franchise), with no public disclosure of rates. Customer acquisition is primarily community-driven via 31 years of local presence, referrals, Nextdoor recognition (2017-2018), and the 2017 Rancho Peñasquitos Business of the Year award. The customer base is entirely individual residential homeowners, with no enterprise or commercial segment. CRG also offers a 'Rent Your Home' service and runs an annual CRG Scholarship Program for local high school seniors as community engagement.
