Cristina Bales, President/REALTOR®/CRS DRE # 01715969

YOUR TRUSTED REALTOR® - Serving Sellers & Buyers in the SF Bay Area and East Bay

With over 20 years of experience in the real estate industry, I have had the privilege of helping hundreds of families buy and sell homes, earning a reputation as one of the top agents in Hayward and the surrounding areas. Since becoming licensed in 2006, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside industry leader Les Fohl, where I've worn many hats — from front desk, Listing Coordinator, Transaction Coordinator, Director of Escrows, to full time Real Estate Agent and President. This diverse experience has given me an in-depth understanding of every aspect of the business, and it’s what sets me apart in this competitive industry.

My career began in property management, overseeing all of my father's properties since 2004, which laid the foundation for my deep knowledge of the local real estate market. I’m a proud Hayward resident and love calling this city my home. I’m also a proud graduate of Mt. Eden High School (Go Monarchs!) and cherish the community that’s supported me throughout my life.

When you work with me, you’re not just getting a real estate agent — you’re getting a dedicated partner who genuinely cares about your goals. Our clients see us not just as agents, but as trusted friends and advisors. We go above and beyond to ensure that each transaction is seamless, and our commitment to delivering top dollar is unwavering. Real estate is a 24/7 business, and I am here for my clients every step of the way.

Outside of real estate, I’m blessed to have a supportive husband and two amazing boys, who keep me grounded and motivated. Together with my incredible team, we work tirelessly to ensure our clients are always in the best hands.

It has truly been an honor to work alongside Les for all these years. What we do isn’t just “work” — it’s a passion, and the satisfaction of seeing our clients succeed is what drives us every day.
