40 Under 40: Recognizing Young Achievers

CHRISTOPHER AUDINO
Keller Williams Realty - McLean
Age: 30 | Years in RE: 7 | 2022 Sales: $21,626,616
 
Christopher Audino has always been an outgoing, social person. After working in construction, he decided to jump into real estate. Currently with Keller Williams Realty in McLean, Christopher has been in the real estate business for seven years now, and says one of his big challenges to overcome was learning to budget and become comfortable with an occupation that is 100 percent commission based. Before real estate, he had never had a job like that. He learned to trust his training and skills and work with confidence.
 
Christopher says his favorite part of being an agent is being able to meet so many different kinds of people, learn their stories and their dreams, and help them move forward on their path to success. Success to him means achieving the goals he has set out for himself, his family, and the people he works with every day; and his biggest dreams include taking his family on a trip around the world and going back to school again to take classes in all the fields he loves.
 
Outside of the office, Christopher is a strong supporter of his local church, where he and his wife volunteer in helping mentor engaged couples as they prepare to start their lives together.
