Christine EspinozaFounder and CEO, Platform Scottsdale

Espinoza has been selling residential real estate since 1997 and currently works with HomeSmart Elite Group. In 2012, she started a women’s group called Platform Scottsdale. This group welcomes everyone from the stay-at-home mom to the business owner and serves to connect, promote and inspire local women.

Surprising fact: “My family and I were on ‘Family Feud’ in 2010.”

Biggest challenge: “Going through a divorce. Coming from a family where my parents have been married over 40 years, I was not prepared for this overwhelming life change … To surround myself with supportive, wonderful women, I founded Platform Scottsdale … I discovered that I can accomplish much more with the support of these women, and create lifelong friendships that I will forever cherish.”
