Ep 258 - Breaking Bad and Beyond: Luxury Real Estate Lessons with David Christensen

“We knew that somebody interested in doing an Airbnb that was Breaking Bad or Walter White-related and a museum was going to be able to generate enough income to support the price that we had attached to the home."

 

Episode 258 of The Smart Agents Podcast features David Christensen, luxury real estate leader and Founder of The Christensen Group, to share how he built a nationally recognized career that’s generated over $150M in sales, earned him four ICON Agent awards, and led to representing one of the most talked-about listings in recent memory — the iconic Breaking Bad house.


Before real estate, David spent two decades in the entertainment industry managing top music talent and overseeing major media projects. Today, he applies those same skills in storytelling, marketing, and relationship-building to stand out in luxury markets. Along the way, he’s launched “Purchase with a Purpose,” giving back a portion of each transaction to humanitarian causes.
