Bio for Christy Goldrup: Licensed Real Estate Broker in Texas. Previously licensed in IL, IL & FL. Christy opened Frontdoor Real Estate Group, TX in June 2015 on a mission to further grow her business and expand into the urban living market & lifestyle. A veteran of the real estate business for over 12 years, Christy previously co-owned and operated a real estate agency, Frontdoor Realty Group, where she focused exclusively on New Home Builders and Developers in the Chicago-land suburbs and became the exclusive Broker Liaison to one of the top five home-builders in the market. When her passion evolved towards the city vs. the suburbs of Chicago, she decided to join the @properties team in 2008, whose extraordinary Brokers and agents she greatly enjoyed working with until she decided in 2012 to move back to Austin, TX to be closer to her family. Back in Austin, Christy re-familiarized herself with the Austin market by working for a local builder, as well as with Curve Realty. "I have found helping individuals buy and sell their homes to be a very rewarding process — the excitement they display is the true reward. In an ever-changing market, I feel responsible to be informed and knowledgeable to be able to serve my clients with the best service. Their needs are always the most important part of the process," says Christy. "I have fallen in love with the city of Austin. The great diversity the city offers is a major reason I choose to call Austin home. Residing in the north central part of the city, I'm close to many of the things Austin has to offer — and I love it. " Christy graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas State University. She earned her degree in Athletic Training/ Pre-Physical Therapy. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, hiking, watching football games, music, working out and spending time with her friends, family and two dachshunds, Bailey & Maverick. She is a member of the Austin Board of Realtors, Texas Association of Realtors and

I have lived in the Fort Worth area most of my life and my husband and I have two sons, one daughter-in-law, and two wonderful grandsons. When I am not working, nothing is better than spending time with my family and traveling. I was an elementary school teacher for over a dozen years and as you might expect, I also enjoy educating clients and other realtors about real estate. My goal is to do more than what you might expect by going the second mile for all my clients.

Kristy first earned her Texas real estate license in 2008 after a rich background in education. She was a high school science teacher, teaching at McNeil, San Marcos, and Westlake High Schools. But after having her third child and looking for greater flexibility, Kristy coupled her love for education with her passion for helping people—and started a new career in real estate.

In 2013, Kristy and her family had the opportunity to move to Tacoma, where she pursued her real estate career, getting licensed in Washington State. In 2017, however, she moved back to her hometown, reengaging with her real estate career—and meeting Anne-Marie, with whom she shared a love of family, tennis, and helping people.

"Education is a passion for me," says Kristy, "and I use that passion to educate my clients. I love teaching them and building trust!" Likewise, Kristy especially appreciates the teamwork at Intelligent Real Estate—"I like that people can trust us, because they get knowledge."

Kristy is married to Dan, managing partner of Synergy Partners Wealth Management. They are the proud parents of 3 - Taylor, Hunter, and Addison.
