Christina Conry Having fallen in love with the Berkshires nearly 25 years ago, Christina finally moved with her family to the Berkshires in 2015 and continues to love every aspect of this beautiful area. She holds an English Literature Degree from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Her love of all things houses has existed for as long as she can remember. The move to the Berkshires and her sister-in-law, Rachael Plaine, refueled her passion to obtain her Real Estate license. She feels incredibly fortunate to now hang her license in the office of The Berkshires For Sale with Mitch Plaine, Barb Plaine and Rachael Plaine. She has developed extensive enjoyment of helping first time home buyers and sellers on their journeys. Recently she became a Town Monitor for Lanesborough representing the Berkshire Board of Realtors and was elected, November 2018, as a School Committee member for the Mount Greylock Regional School Committee. When she is not trying to help clients buy and sell their homes, she is working as the Studio Manager for Berkshire Yoga Dance & Fitness. Christina enjoys attending her daughter’s dance performances, watching her son play golf (or attempting to play golf herself), tending to her menagerie of animals and her gardens and working her backyard trails with her best friends and patient husband.
