In 1995, he moved to Los Angeles and started working in the Sport Supplement industry, eventually opening a store, which resulted in starting a supplement company catering to martial arts athletes. During this experience, he learned many valuable skills in marketing, sales, and entrepreneurship. Then, in 2003, Christiano entered into Real Estate, which was a natural fit for him, and decided to sell his Supplement business to apply all his talent and heart into his newfound passion. After working for the top Real Estate firms in Los Angeles, he started his own boutique agency called Loftway in 2007. Since then, Loftway has grown into a successful brokerage and a recognizable brand in the Los Angeles Real Estate world.\n","area_of_expertise":"Principal Broker","team":false,"agent_market":[],"awards":[{"award":"GREEN"},{"award":"RCCS"},{"award":"CPM"}],"facebook":"","twitter":"","instagram":"","pinterest":"","google_plus":"","linkedin":"","region_heading":"My Regions Of Expertise","region_description":"","agent_regions":false,"agent_properties_section_heading":"My Available Properties","agent_properties_section_description":"","use_default_settings_for_agent_listings":true,"disable_search_with_me":true,"testimonial_section_title":"What My Clients Say","testimonial_section_description":"","testimonial_data":[{"title":"davhuh","type":"seller","location":"","quote":"Very attentive and a true closer at its best!! 2 days after listing real bonifide offer received and closed in 20 days.

We have been his client in some shape or form (ie, renter, landlord, seller) for over 9 years. Most recently, he helped us list and sell a property in DTLA in spite of a challenging situation where our HOA was tied up in litigation with the builder. Through it all, Christiano was considerate and attentive, providing us with regular updates and sound advice. His team was also very helpful in tending to small errands and repairs relating to the property, which saved us both time and headache. If you need help with your LA real estate matters, Christiano is your man. Highly recommend. \n","social_media_source":"","ratings":"5"},{"title":"aidadrodriguez","type":"buyer","location":"","quote":"Christiano really knows the market and is intimately familiar with DTLA's buildings and their history. His estimates on what units were worth and what they would eventually go for were spot on. This expertise helped me to determine which units offered the right value. \nI am not the easiest client and I am not a first time home buyer. I had very narrow parameters of buildings that I wanted to be in, layouts, types of appliances, lightning, ceiling heights, closets, fixtures, floors, etc. Christiano took the time to learn about I cared about and what I was looking for in a unit, understood my non negotiables and never pushed me to settle on a unit that was close enough. Finding a unit in downtown sometimes seemed harder than finding your soulmate, but Christiano worked with me for a long time to make sure that I found my perfect match. Even once I found the perfect match, he did an awesome job negotiating the deal and making sure that I was on top of all the deadlines. He never made feel like I was wasting his time. I'd give him five out of five stars. \n","social_media_source":"","ratings":"5"},{"title":"ellahazard","type":"seller","location":"","quote":"Christiano was wonderful to work with!\nHe was very knowledgeable and communicative with us throughout a process that could have been otherwise stressful.

First it was in leasing a beautiful loft in downtown LA from it's owner. We spent two years there and were very happy with the service and professionalism of Christiano's management services- issues were resolved quickly and painlessly and best of all the paperwork was all done electronically. \nWhen my husband and I had finally saved enough for a down payment on our first home, we knew who to call to help us find it. Christiano helped us identify our priorities and focus on narrowing our search to just the right types of properties within our budget. No endless tours of units that just didn't fit the bill- we only had to look at a few places. He was able to show us a few pocket listings and without pressuring us allowed us to wait for the right place to come on the market. Luckily for us, it was a unit for which he also represented the seller, so we were first in line to see it and Christiano was kind enough to arrange access for us despite the fact that he was out of town on vacation (it was a day or two before Christmas!). We knew right away it was what we wanted. From there we were able to place an offer on the property- all while working remotely\/electronically- and work through all the logistics of closing escrow. Christiano expertly guided us through the process with our lender, the inspector, and appraisers. We've been in our home for a year now and we love it. The time will soon come where my husband and I will want to buy a second property and we look forward to relying on Christiano's expertise in guiding us through a new market\/neighborhood\/property type in LA. We will also definitely use Loftway to manage the rental of our loft. We highly recommend him for his professionalism, taste in architecture, and honesty. \n","social_media_source":"","ratings":"5"},{"title":"t macha","type":"seller","location":"","quote":"He is a reliable person and have a good negotiation skill.
