CHRISTINA CALDERON
Christina Calderon’s real estate adventure kicked off during the tumultuous year of 2020 when, faced with the challenges of the pandemic, she made a bold decision to leave behind her career as a Cosmetologist and embark on a journey into real estate. ”I started to really rethink life and what it was that I wanted to do, and I realized that life is too short to be unhappy.” Her father, who does high-end real estate photography in Palm Springs, inspired her to go to real estate school, and she fell in love with everything about it. Unlike many REALTORS® who are advised to focus on a specific niche, Christina thrives on being everywhere. From South Tucson to the far eastern corners of Tucson, to Marana and Rita Ranch, and even up on Mount Lemmon, she covers a vast territory. “I don’t think I’ll ever want to create a geographic niche,” she muses. “I really like being all over the place. If I had listened to some of the early advice I received to focus on one area which is the Northwest side, I would have sold just one home by now.” 22

Initially advised to hide this chapter of her story, she decided to embrace it and be her authentic self. “Today I’m really active in the recovery community,” she shares. “I speak a lot and it’s something I’m really proud of.” Christina, whose own mother committed suicide, also volunteers to speak about suicide and assist people
