Christen Sachs didn’t just choose real estate—she reimagined it. As the Managing Director and Broker Associate of Nest Seekers International in Rumson, NJ, Sachs has built more than a career; she’s forged a path that fuses media innovation, storytelling, and property expertise. But for her, it wasn’t always about luxury listings. It all started with a dream and a drive to lead, even from an early age.

“I started my first business when I was just ten years old,” Sachs recalls. “It was small, but I loved the feeling of building something of my own. From then on, I knew that creating and leading came naturally to me.” And create she did—again at 21, and yet again at 37, each venture a stepping stone that led her closer to where she stands today: at the helm of a media powerhouse in the real estate industry, redefining what it means to connect with buyers and sellers.

Blending Real Estate with Media Power

Sachs’ journey took an unexpected turn when she began exploring the role of media in real estate. Instead of focusing solely on square footage and locations, she realized that storytelling could bring properties to life in a way that traditional approaches never could. “People want to feel a connection,” she explains. “It’s not just about buying a home—it’s about envisioning a lifestyle, a future.”

That’s why Sachs launched her own media business alongside her creative partner, Stephanie Matzek. The venture was more than a business decision; it was a passion project that tapped into her need for creativity. “My media and branding have been a priority since day one,” she says. “I wanted to use these tools not only to enhance our properties but also to provide agents with the resources to create powerful, engaging narratives.”

The blend of modern technology, media savvy, and a deep understanding of client needs has been key to Sachs’ rapid expansion at the Jersey Shore. It’s this kind of creativity and flexibility that allows her to meet the challenges of an evolving luxury market head-on. “We’re not just selling homes; we’re creating experiences,” she says, her voice brimming with enthusiasm.

Leadership Rooted in Empowerment

But it’s not just about homes and media campaigns—it’s also about people. Sachs’ leadership philosophy is built on empowerment, and she’s made it her mission to lift her team to new heights. “The most fulfilling part of my work is helping my agents succeed,” she says. “Watching them grow, seeing them overcome challenges—it’s incredibly rewarding.”

The luxury real estate market isn’t always smooth sailing. It comes with its unique set of challenges, particularly because every transaction is so different. But Sachs’ approach is to be an advocate—not just for her clients, but for her agents as well. “I’ve been there,” she admits. “I understand what it feels like to navigate a competitive industry, and I want my team to know they’re not alone. I’m here to support them, guide them, and cheer them on.”

Sachs believes that a strong brokerage isn’t just about market leadership—it’s about fostering a supportive community. Nest Seekers’ expansion at the Jersey Shore is a testament to that belief, emphasizing resilience, adaptability, and collective growth. “Luxury real estate is about relationships,” she adds. “And those relationships aren’t something you can build alone. It’s a team effort, and our strength lies in our collaboration.”

The Power of Connection

For Sachs, the future of luxury real estate is deeply intertwined with the power of connection. It’s not enough to put a property on the market and hope for the best—buyers want more, and she’s determined to give it to them. “For me, it’s about connection—between people, between places, between dreams and reality,” she says.

This focus on relationships extends beyond her clients and agents. It’s also about the local community, which has always played an important role in her career. “We’re here for more than just business,” Sachs reflects. “We’re here to make a difference, to create something meaningful that benefits everyone involved.”

Leading by Example

As she looks ahead, Sachs is not content to rest on her laurels. With plans to quadruple her business’s revenue in the next few years, she’s ready to push the boundaries of what’s possible in luxury real estate. And with her passion for media and her commitment to her team, there’s no doubt that she’s just getting started. “Leadership isn’t static,” she believes. “It’s about constantly redefining what it means to succeed in this business.”

Whether it’s through modern media strategies, dynamic marketing campaigns, or a genuine focus on her agents’ well-being, Sachs is paving the way for what the future of luxury real estate can be—a future built on creativity, connection, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
