Background and Expertise
Experience
Christina has over a decade of comprehensive experience in the finance and consulting industry, with key roles at top-tier firms across multiple continents.
Christina Müller´s Real Estate journey began over 20 years ago, in 2003 at a small residential property company in her hometown in Germany, where she gained hands-on experience across multiple departments, including the leasing office, utilities and operating cost, accounting and finance as well as with the development and the maintenance team. During the dual studies programm, she earned a degree in Business Administration focussed on Real Estate economics at the BA Thuringia (Dipl.- Betriebswirt (BA)), while working for the residential company.
This early experience provided Christina with a deep, practical understanding of property management and development.Throughout her career, Christina has achieved significant milestones, including leading major Real Estate projects and contributing to innovative solutions in property management and investment. Her track record is a testament to her strategic vision and commitment to delivering exceptional results.
Christina spent almost ten years with one Big4 firm in Germany and the U.S. During this period, she became an expert in complex valuations, including NPL and IDW S6 valuations during the financial crisis as well as numerous purchase price allocations (PPA´s) according to IFRS 3 and ASC 805. Her PPA experience spans a wide array of sectors, amongst others energy, chemical, telecommunication, automotive, paper, heavy manufacturing, and metal. Further, Christina deducted tangible asset valuations according to the German tax law (Bewertungsgesetz) and IRC 1031 exchanges as well as for financing, restructuring (such as shared pledges), and management purposes.
After her Big4 tenure, Christina joined a top10 U.S. accounting firm in New York, where she supported the implementation of an assurance practice. Within her role at this company she also supported the valuation advisory group with national and international valuations focussing on hospitality assets, such as hotels and medical properties.
Her Real Estate experience is equally diverse, covering all sorts of asset classes from residential and typical CRE, such as office, retail, logistics, hotels, care homes, etc. to specialized assets, such as power plants, wast deposite plants, infrastucture (highways, runways, train tracks), telecommunication and energy grids in Europe, and North and Central America.
In addition to the valuation experience, Christina has significant corporate Real Estate management (CREM) consulting expertise. She played a critical role supporting Germany´s largest logistic company within their extension of their German distribution network due to the rising e-commerce, where she acted as link between top-management and the local Real Estate teams.
Christina has also guided clients in making strategic decisions related to investments, divestments, development, and portfolio management. Her expertise in strategic CREM advisory also includes providing guidance on development projects. This involves feasibility studies (regulatory and financial) as well as scenario analyses, assisting clients with contract negotiations, structuring transactions, securing financing, and identifying investors and development partners. Christina´s strategic advisory work is essential for companies seeking to optimize their corporate Real Estate portfolios and navigate complex development initiatives.
Before founding Realutions in 2024, Christina´s last role was to build and expand the Real Estate advisory practice within the Deal Advisory department of a Big4 firm in Luxembourg. She sucessfully developed the practice into a notable segment of the Deal Advisory department. Her responsibilities comprised driving business development by launching new services and acquiring clients, as well as setting up team structures and processes, encompassing recruitment and talent retention, implementing learning and development programs, along with selecting and integrating necessary tools and software.
