Real Estate Agency

Christina founded and successfully ran the real-estate firm Tarek and Christina: The El Moussa Group in Orange County, California. She established and managed this business with her first husband, Tarek El Moussa.

In 2010, Christina and Tarek, along with Pete De Best, a business partner of theirs, bought their first property in Santa Ana, California for $115,000. They later sold their investment for a profit of $34,000. The trio went on to flip more houses, broadening their real estate investing business into Nevada and Arizona.

The El Moussa Group was disbanded in 2018 after 8 years of running successfully and making profits for all involved parties. The business is now owned by a sole venture of Tarek El Moussa called Tarek and Associates.

TV & Films

Christina and Tarek sold real estate in southern California as their main income source as a team. When the housing market plunged after the stock market crash of October 2008, their real estate business broke down. The husband-and-wife went from living in a $72,000-per-year house to a $7000-per-year apartment in just a few years.

One day in 2011, on an unplanned notion, Tarek asked a friend of his to help him record an audition tape for HGTV. The friend filmed an episode of the house flipping process from start to finish. The audition tape was sent to a production house without anyone expecting that it would be of any interest to them, but the company, Pie Town Productions, loved it. HGTV producers also noticed the couple on Instagram where they uploaded before and after profiles of most of the renovation projects they had done. In 2012, HGTV signed both husband and wife to a regular weekly show that featured the nuts and bolts of renovating and selling a house, as well as a look at their marital life. In April 2013, the show “Flip or Flop” finally hit HGTV’s small screen.

In June 2018, Christina started her own spinoff program, “Christina on the Coast” on HGTV.  The first episode of the debut season focused on Christina renovating her new post-divorce residence, with the remaining seven episodes of the first season focusing on her restoring other people’s homes. The show’s second season started airing on January 2, 2020, on HGTV.

In 2017, she presented at the Daytime Emmys and has proceeded to feature in a handful of films and TV shows.
