Professional Marketer and California-Licensed Real Estate Agent (DRE#01992879) with over 20 years of combined experience in marketing and real estate, including expertise in construction and building codes.
Hello, I'm Christopher Hysell, a professional marketer first and foremost, with over 20 years of experience in marketing and real estate. As a California-licensed real estate agent (DRE#01992879), I focus on innovative marketing strategies to sell homes effectively—because in the Golden State, where even a simple studio can sport a 'premium' vibe, every property deserves its spotlight. I believe every listing merits a sophisticated suite of marketing essentials as standard: expertly curated photography that captures every nuance, immersive virtual tours for seamless exploration, aerial drone perspectives to showcase the full scope, bespoke property websites tailored to highlight unique features, cinematic video productions that evoke emotion, and elegantly designed print collateral for lasting impact. Born at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena and raised in Southern California, I have deep knowledge of the San Gabriel Valley markets. My background in construction and building codes enhances my ability to highlight a property's true potential. Beyond serving my own clients, I offer advanced marketing solutions to fellow real estate professionals to elevate their listings online and offline. My career began right after high school at a family-owned escrow company, evolving through a college degree and real estate licensure post-2008 housing crash. While I'm not the best at marketing myself—most of my deals come from personal connections and referrals—give me a home or product to sell, and that's where I truly excel, crafting campaigns that drive results.
Every property has a unique story waiting to be told, and as a professional marketer with deep roots in California real estate, I specialize in narrating those stories to maximize value and appeal. With over 20 years of experience, I use cutting-edge tools to create compelling narratives that resonate with buyers. Unlike many agents who prioritize self-promotion in their listings—often at the expense of the property itself—I focus solely on elevating your home, ensuring it shines without distraction. My approach includes integrating search engine optimization (SEO) from the ground up, a critical element too often overlooked by brokers, which can significantly hinder a listing's online visibility and potential reach. My focus isn't on flashy self-promotion; it's on delivering exceptional results for your property. Whether it's a historic estate, modern home, or undeveloped land, I transform listings into captivating tales that highlight history, potential, and unique features—ensuring your property stands out in a competitive market. Let's collaborate to sell your story.
Consider why a Stradivarius violin fetches millions: it's not just the craftsmanship—it's the centuries of stories embedded in it. Real estate operates the same way. As a seasoned marketer, I uncover and amplify the narrative behind every property, from raw land to sprawling estates. What inspired its design? What transformations has it undergone? These details create emotional connections that drive higher offers.
I bring properties to life through expert visuals: macro shots of custom hardware, drone views of architectural details, and stories of reclaimed materials—like bricks from a 1920s fire station. Even new constructions or distressed properties have potential narratives we can shape into visions of what's possible.
While some agents excel at self-marketing, often turning listings into personal billboards for future business, I prioritize what truly moves properties: strategic, story-driven campaigns that put the home front and center. I also emphasize SEO strategies that many brokers ignore, ensuring your listing doesn't get lost in the digital shuffle and reaches its full online potential. My track record speaks for itself, built on referrals and results rather than personal hype. With my marketing toolkit, we don't just list your home—we market it to sell.
Your property isn't just real estate; it's a story worth telling. Let's make it unforgettable.
