Karina Christensen is a Luxury Real Estate Advisor with The Agency and co-founder of Baja House Hunters, specializing in exceptional homes, land and development opportunities along the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur. Based full-time in Pescadero, Karina serves an international clientele throughout Cerritos Beach, Pescadero, Todos Santos and the Pacific corridor north of Los Cabos.
With decades of experience spanning U.S. luxury real estate, sustainable development and service to ultra-high-net-worth individuals, Karina brings a rare combination of market knowledge, discretion and thoughtful guidance to every transaction. Her clients include second-home buyers, retirees, investors and global citizens seeking not simply a property, but a more intentional way of living in Baja.
Before entering real estate, Karina worked in private aviation, including serving as a flight attendant aboard Oprah Winfrey's personal aircraft. Traveling the world while caring for prominent business leaders and private clients taught her that exceptional service is defined by anticipation, precision and trust. That same concierge-level approach now shapes every aspect of her real estate practice.
Karina's experience as a sustainable developer further distinguishes her in a region where construction quality, water resources, infrastructure and environmental considerations can significantly affect a property's long-term value. She helps clients look beyond finishes and views to understand how a property was built, how it functions and how well it is positioned for the future. Her expertise is particularly valuable to buyers considering land, new construction and pre-construction opportunities.
Having made the move from the United States to Baja herself, Karina understands both the excitement and the complexity of purchasing property in another country. She guides clients through the legal, cultural and practical aspects of buying and selling in Mexico with clarity and transparency. Through a trusted network of attorneys, notarios, escrow professionals, architects, builders and local specialists, she helps create a seamless experience from the first conversation through closing and beyond.
Together with her husband and business partner, Ron Sprengeler, Karina founded Baja House Hunters to provide buyers and sellers with the kind of honest, locally informed representation they wished had existed when they began their own Baja journey. As full-time residents and active members of the community, Karina and Ron offer firsthand knowledge of the region's neighborhoods, building practices, land-use considerations and on- and off-market opportunities.
Known for her warmth, attention to detail and straightforward advice, Karina believes luxury is ultimately about how a client is cared for. Her mission is to deliver an experience rooted in trust, discretion and results while helping each client find the property-and the Baja lifestyle-that feels genuinely right for them.
