After receiving a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science from Purdue University, Christina Rinderle joined a network of talented researchers, biologists, and designers and helped to create the first native plants nursery and nature preserve for the Colorado River Indian Tribes in southern Arizona, which now serves as the model for wetland, riparian and upland restoration on the lower Colorado River and the entire southwestern region. In 1999 Christina moved to Durango to work as botanist and researcher for Ecosystem Management International. Then, while working as an office manager in a renovated building downtown, Christina discovered her passion for in-fill, green building practices and reuse of centrally located space.
Christina managed office building renovations and live/work project development along Main Avenue in the heart of downtown at Crossroads Durango, and is currently a broker and co-owner of Durango Land and Homes, where she is passionate about connecting people in the community with their perfect home or office. Her involvement in the community includes graduating from 2003-2004 Leadership La Plata class, facilitating local and national team building and leadership programs, and volunteering for non-profits such as Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Women’s Resource Center. Christina was also selected as one of the 2009 Center for Progressive Leadership Fellows, a non-partisan, statewide leadership development program.
Christina has served two terms on the Durango City Council, twice as Mayor of Durango, in addition to two terms on the Colorado Municipal League Executive Board, including a term as President of the Colorado Municipal League. She was a founding board member of the La Plata County Economic Development Alliance where she served until 2017 and is still an active participant with Durango Land and Homes as a proud investor in the organization.

“Having never worked with a realtor before and with the market in Durango being a bit crazy, I was a little nervous at the prospect of finding a home. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor (and guide) than Christina. She has the perfect combination of professional and personable. She answered all my questions, was incredibly responsive, and sent me every listing in my price range as soon as it came on the market. She helped me feel comfortable in trusting my own instincts and giving advice when asked. Her personal touches at closing were incredibly sweet. I would enthusiastically recommend Christina to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Durango.” Read Full Review

Facing almost no inventory and high prices, I could not have closed on my home without Christina. Additionally, with her market knowledge she was able to quickly sell a property for considerably more than I expected. All with a smile and being an exceptional human.” Read Full Review

for Christina Rinderle “Christina is the BEST agent I have ever worked with! She is an absolute rock star. This was my 8th time selling a property, and Christina is by far the most outstanding agent I've ever worked with. When she says "full service" she absolutely means it.I tasked Christina with selling my home in Edgemont Ranch at top dollar. While other agents dismissed my price point as too high Christina listened to why I thought it was worth more, and listed it for my desired price. Next, she discussed with me the improvements necessary to get that price, and connected me with contact after contact to get the repairs/improvements completed. Her people showed up on time, and did a fantastic job on the work. If you live in Durango you know how hard it is to find good people to work, and all of hers were excellent. She even hired a professional stager at no cost to me, and guess what? She was able to get me the price I wanted. She negotiated the price and repairs like a pro while maintaining a happy and positive attitude even when I got a bit grumpy. Her negotiation skills were second to none. The last part of her services truly blew me away. If you've sold property before, you know that most agents simply disappear after the home is under contract; not Christina. I had a lot of furniture that I didn't want to take with me, and I tried to get rid of it to no avail. Christina stepped up and found people to take all of my unwanted items. She even came over and helped load it up, taking a huge load of stress off of me. She coordinated the cleaning when I moved out, and blew me away with the thoughtfulness and generosity of her closing gift.If you want a true full service agent who is an expert in all things real estate, has all the Durango contacts to get the job done, and absolutely cares about you and your satisfaction please hire Christina Rinderle. Her upbeat personality, genuine caring, and absolute real estate expertise set her far apart from any other agent I've ever worked with. Thank you Christina!” Read Full Review
