WHO AM I

About Chrysti Tovani, Fair Oaks Real Estate Advisor

I am Chrysti Tovani, your Fair Oaks Real Estate Advisor. I guide people through life transitions that are often emotional, complicated, and full of moving pieces. My goal is to make the journey feel steady and supported, the way it feels when someone capable takes your hand and says you can breathe now. I have you.

A Real Estate Foundation That Runs Deep

My background is rooted in mortgages, lending, and the inner workings of real estate. I spent years inside banks, mortgage companies, and a family real estate brokerage, learning how homes actually get bought and sold. It taught me what most people never see. The problem-solving. The strategy. The quiet decisions behind the scenes that protect your best interests.

I carry all of that with me today. It is part of why my clients trust me. I understand the process from every angle and I know how to navigate the curveballs that can happen along the way.

A Creative Chapter That Became a Strength

There was a time when I stepped out of real estate. I went back to school to study graphic design and photography because I needed to explore the creative side of myself. For several years, I designed brands, photographed people and places, built websites, and created content. Those years shaped the way I see the world. They refined my eye for presentation, story, and detail.

Design is often mistaken for art or decoration, but true design is about how things work. It is how spaces guide movement, how layouts answer questions, and how people instinctively understand where to go next. That way of thinking became second nature to me, and it quietly influences how I approach everything.

Eventually, I realized something important. I missed guiding people through meaningful transitions. I missed the human connection. So I returned to real estate with new strengths and a fresh perspective. I bring design thinking to real estate by using intention, flow, and clarity to prepare and present homes that feel natural and compelling.

When I talk about branding, I am not talking about logos or marketing gimmicks. Brand is the way people connect. It is voice, tone, and clarity. It is how the right people recognize themselves in a story and move closer, while the wrong fit quietly moves on. We are always attracting and repelling, whether we mean to or not.

That is why intention matters. When a home is presented without clarity, it can repel the very buyers who would love it and attract attention that goes nowhere. Learning how to set boundaries through message, flow, and presentation is something I became very effective at during my years in design, and it is exactly what I bring into real estate today.

I do not just list homes. I brand them. I do not just advertise. I tell a story people feel. This approach helps buyers connect with a home quickly and helps sellers stand out in a crowded market.

This isn’t just about selling a house. It’s about presenting a home with clarity and intention so the right buyers recognize its value quickly and confidently.

Where Experience Meets Intention

I am at a point in life where things feel clear. I know who I am. I know what I bring to the table. I am not rushing or chasing numbers. I want a steady flow of the right clients. People who value intention, thoughtfulness, strategy, and heart.

The experiences I have lived through allow me to guide people with a level of calm that only comes from time. I have gotten better with age, not older. This season of my life feels like the beginning of something powerful. I am building my business in a way that feels sustainable, joyful, and deeply fulfilling.

I primarily serve Fair Oaks and nearby communities, including Orangevale, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Gold River, Granite Bay, Roseville, Rancho Cordova, and El Dorado Hills, with a focused approach rooted in local knowledge rather than a broad coverage of the entire Sacramento metro.

Community Is at the Center of Everything I Do

Fair Oaks is home. It is where I built the I Love Fair Oaks media brand and spent years photographing events, showcasing small businesses, and celebrating the people who make this community special. For a long time, I kept my real estate work separate because I wanted the platform to stay community first.

Now I see that everything I built complements my work as an advisor.
My photography.
My design eye.
My marketing experience.
My ability to tell a story that resonates with real people.
All of it comes together to help you present your home beautifully and reach the right buyers.

I am a real estate advisor. I am also a storyteller, a creator, and a connector. I use all of those strengths to help you move into the next chapter of your life with confidence.

Here To Guide You Through Your Next Move

Every home has its own story. Every escrow has its own challenges. No two situations are ever the same. That is what keeps this work meaningful. Helping someone reach the finish line with clarity, stability, and peace is incredibly rewarding.

Whether you are selling, downsizing, or relocating, I am here to guide you through the process. With strategy. With care. With an experienced hand that knows the path forward.

You do not have to go through this alone.
I am right here when you are ready.
