Christina Hall

Christina Meursinge Hall (née Haack, formerly El Moussa and Anstead; born July 9, 1983) is an American real estate investor and TV personality. She previously co-starred on HGTV's show ''Flip or Flop'' alongside her now ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and the HGTV show, ''Christina on the Coast''. In 2023, she began starring in HGTV's ''Christina in the Country.''

Early life

Hall was born in Anaheim, California. She has a sister, Carly, who is ten years younger. She went to school in southern California and began working in the real estate industry after graduating from San Diego State University. In 2005, she first met future husband and business partner, Tarek El Moussa while the two were working as real estate agents at Prudential.

Career

Real estate

Hall ran the real-estate agency Tarek and Christina: The El Moussa Group with her first husband Tarek in Orange County, California. The husband-and-wife team sold real estate in the southern California area. When the housing market plummeted after the October 2008 stock market crash, their real estate business suffered. The El Moussas went from living in a $6,000-per-month house to a $700-per-month apartment in just a few years.

In 2010, the El Moussas, along with their business partner Pete De Best, bought their first investment property in Santa Ana, California for $115,000, selling the property for a profit of $34,000. The trio continued to flip houses, expanding their real-estate investing business into Arizona and Nevada.

The El Moussa Group was dissolved in 2018. The business is now owned by Tarek and Associates, a sole venture of Tarek El Moussa.

Television

In 2011, Tarek El Moussa asked a friend to help him make an audition tape for HGTV. Pie Town Productions expressed interest in the tape. HGTV producers had also noticed the couple's Instagram profile, which featured before and after profiles of several renovation projects.

In 2012, HGTV signed the couple to produce a show for the network. In April 2013, ''Flip Or Flop'' debuted on the network. In a 2014 interview, Hall said, "Each episode shows things that can go wrong, and do go wrong".

In June 2018, it was announced that Hall would be featured in her own spin-off show, ''Christina on the Coast''. The first episode of season 1 focused on Hall renovating her new post-divorce home, with the remaining seven episodes focusing on her renovating other people's homes. Filming began in fall 2018, for a spring 2019 premiere. The show's second season premiered on January 2, 2020, on HGTV.

In 2017, Hall presented at the Daytime Emmys.

Other ventures

In March 2020, Hall released a book, ''The Wellness Remodel'', with certified nutritionist Cara Clark.

On July 14, 2020, Hall announced she will be partnering with Spectra Furniture to create a furniture line for the brand. The new line, Christina HOME, debuted in October 2020. In November 2021, Hall created a luxury vinyl flooring line, The Christina Collection, that features 21 different colors and styles.
