Justin Smith
CO-FOUNDER, BROKER
Justin is a licensed Broker in Colorado where he lives with his wife and six kids and currently serves as the CEO of the Christian Real Estate Network. In 2002, Justin co-founded the Christian Real Estate Network and It has been his great joy to see God grow the Network over the years to serve clients and agents in the real estate industry. Justin finds deep satisfaction in getting to partner with God to see how He moves people throughout the country as they place their ultimate trust in Him and getting to be a small part of their story (Prov. 3:5-6). The CREN has been a great “Adventure in Faith” for his family and he feels privileged every day to get to serve in this way.

Ben Meyer
LEADER, MEMBER MEETINGS
Ben partners with his wife, Cristina, to form the Meyer Home Team. While their family life centers around raising their three energetic sons, Ben is also dedicated to serving clients across the Denver Metro market. His passion for ministry is evident in his role as the lead church planter of Calvary Veritas in Littleton, Colorado. Within the Christian Real Estate Network, Ben hosts REFOCUS, a midweek Bible study designed for agents who want to center their hearts on Christ during a busy week. Ben is incredibly grateful for this community of believers. He views the network as a place to encourage one another to keep their eyes on the eternal prize (Philippians 3:14), seeking to honor the Lord through their work rather than chasing personal gain.

Cristina Meyer
REFERRAL COORDINATOR
Cristina is one half of the Meyer Home Team, serving the Denver Metro area alongside her husband, Ben. She firmly believes that every good and perfect gift, including a home, comes from above (James 1:17). Cristina and Ben are deeply blessed to be raising three wonderful young boys: Obadiah (Obi), Solomon, and Jacob. She loves dedicating her time to her children and serving in her local church. The Christian Real Estate Network has been a refreshing blessing for her in an industry that can sometimes feel disconnected. She cherishes being part of a global community where agents share the same heart and desire to see Jesus glorified and honored in all they do.

About Us
The Christian Real Estate Network was formed as a service to help people connect with a real estate agent they can truly trust during one of the most stressful events in life: buying or selling a home. Since that time, we have been able to help thousands of people realize their dreams of home ownership, help people that are relocating & assist during the stressful home selling process. Our heart is to serve people by referring them to a like minded Christian agent that places a high value on integrity, Biblical values & excellent customer service.
Currently our database of agents is over 4,000 strong and growing every day. If you need to buy or sell anywhere around the country, chances are we have a contact in your area. Getting connected with an agent from the Christian Real Estate Network is completely free.
“Man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps” Proverbs 16:9
What Does “His move” Mean?
If you have walked with the Lord for any amount of time, you know that just because you are a follower of Christ, doesn’t mean that life is easy or that the path forward is always clear. When it comes to a huge life decision like buying or selling a home that has so many implications for our lives, we do our best to seek the Lord, pray, and be wise stewards of what He has entrusted to us. But ultimately it’s about His timing, His plan, and His glory. “His Move” is a simple acknowledgment that we are surrendering to God’s perfect plan for our lives in where He is moving us.
