A
I was escaping loss of identity through a failing marriage. To reinvent yourself at 50, it is scary, especially for a woman and a woman who hasn't worked in many years. It took a huge leap for me to turn over at 50 thinking that I was too old. You know, I can't do it. What am I going to do? But no, it's never too late.

A
Being here in doing all this today has reminded me how far I've come. It was such a scary journey in the beginning to just give up everything and to come up to Destin not knowing anyone and making a life, of course, being a woman. You know, I was 50 and I thought, well, what guy's going to want a 50 year old? He can get a young girl. So I thought my chances of ever finding a lasting relationship was slim to none, but that it spans the globe

like a super high Internet Elvis.

Living youg Legacy podcast. Best for those who live to leave a legacy. Open Chicago with the lead.
[01:39]
A
You said Paul is the fastest man on the planet.
[01:43]
C
You can live your dreams. Hello. Welcome back to another episode of Living youg Legacy podcast. I'm your host again today, Jay Slangan. We're here in sunny and beautiful Miami Beach, Florida and we have a special guest who just came from the pink room that we have next door and she brought the pink into the podcast room. She's looking quite fabulous. And. Yeah. Introduce yourself.
[02:08]
A
I'm Christine Fox. I am from Destin, Florida.
[02:11]
C
All right, Destin, where is that? In the Panhandle. Where's Destin?
[02:16]
A
Destin's in the Panhandle. It's between Pensacola and Panama City Beach.
[02:21]
C
Okay, so you drove or took a flight here?
[02:23]
A
Oh, I flew.
[02:24]
C
Okay. Okay. I'm, I'm, I'm new to Florida. It's like two years now. So I'm still getting the layout of the land.
[02:32]
A
I got a ten hour drive.
[02:33]
C
Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I'm originally from Connecticut, so 10 hours would land me in like, I don't know, maybe North Carolina or something. So it's a big state. Anyways, yeah, so I heard you just got off the, off the set. How was filming and everything?
[02:50]
A
Oh, filming was great. I truly enjoyed it. It was a Lot of fun. And, of course, my guy was wonderful.
[02:55]
C
Yeah.
[02:56]
A
Helped me along.
[02:57]
C
And were you nervous before? And how did it kind of pan out when you were finally in the chair?
[03:03]
A
I wasn't nervous. Yeah, I. I wasn't nervous. I think I had more to say than I needed to say, if that makes any sense.
[03:11]
C
Hey, more is always better, right? Right. And so. So, yeah, I heard a lot of interesting things about you that you kind of had this whole rediscovery and new outlook on life, which just sounds wonderful. So tell us a little bit about yourself, actually. First, what do you do?
[03:31]
A
I am a realtor and an artist. Prefer to spend more time with my art than real estate, but real estate does pay the bills pretty well.
[03:41]
C
Yeah.
[03:45]
A
I don't know. What else did you want to know for me?
[03:47]
C
Yeah, you had this kind of new outlook on life, and so where did that stem from? And why is it a new outlook on life?
[03:56]
A
It's a new outlet for me. There's two. There's one where I started over at 50 years of age, and the second one was more recent, having a heart attack earlier this year.
[04:07]
C
Oh, okay. So starting over at 50, I mean, that's probably takes a big leap, right?
[04:14]
A
It took a huge leap for me to turn over at 50, thinking that I was too old. You know, I can't do it. What am I going to do? But, no, it's never too late.
[04:25]
C
Wow. And what were. What were you escaping? I guess.
[04:29]
A
Well, I was escaping loss of identity through a failing marriage.
[04:34]
C
Okay. Yeah. So that's even a bigger leap. Right. Because you're solo now, and you're kind of almost a later midlife crisis, if. If you kind of want to say it that way. Right?
[04:48]
A
Well, kind of, yes. I'm not solo. I could remarry.
[04:51]
C
Oh, okay, great. So you do have support. But reinventing yourself at that age, I'm sure it's scary on everyone. You know, there's a lot of people, even now, they're getting fired from their jobs, Right. A lot of, like, thousands of tech firings here with the advent of AI. So a lot of people, you know, this message of reinventing themselves at 50 is an important one these days because people are kind of forced into it, right?
[05:18]
A
Yes, they are forced into it. And to reinvent yourself at 50, it is scary, especially for a woman. And a woman who hasn't worked in many years. A couple decades.
[05:30]
C
Yeah.
[05:31]
A
And now to have to find herself, to go back out into the workforce and reinvent herself. Yeah, it is. It is big step. And it is quite scary for. It was scary.
[05:42]
C
More scary than exciting. Right. People should be looking at it in an exciting manner. But it's just the fear, right? Just kind of takes over.
[05:51]
A
The fear takes over. You self doubt, your, you know, self doubt creeps in. I'm not good enough. I'm not worth it. You know, we can put all of that into our mind.
[06:03]
C
Yeah. You send out some resumes, you knock on a few doors, call a few people. You're getting no answers. So how long did that journey take?
[06:12]
A
The journey didn't take too long. I did have some professions to fall back on. I was a Pilates instructor. I still teach Pilates. I was a veterinarian technician, anesthesiologist. So I always had that to go back on too. But I decided I didn't want to be in closed doors. So I got my real estate license.
[06:35]
C
Hey, nice. Great. So, yeah, that's. Real estate is exciting. I'm sure in Pennsylvania as well. A lot of people getting into it. Finally. When you did get into it, how was it? How was it getting the license? Was it difficult?
[06:51]
A
Oh, no, the license is easy. It's just studying. I don't have a problem studying. And I'm not one of those people who fear taking tests, so I was okay with all of that.
[07:00]
C
Nice, nice, nice. And how has it been?
[07:03]
A
It's been good. It had a little, you know, drop off here a few years ago when the market kind of went crazy where everything was overpriced and everybody was outbidding.
[07:14]
C
Everybody was overpriced, was over, still is
[07:17]
A
overpriced, and it just exploded where people were paying way more than houses were worth.
[07:23]
C
So. Yeah.
[07:24]
A
Crazy.
[07:25]
C
Yeah. And so you were doing, what is it not. Not commercial real estate, but just like resident residential real estate. Yeah. Great. So you're. You're into real estate and then something else happens where you get into the art or you got into the art first or.
[07:46]
A
I've always been in the art.
[07:47]
C
Yeah.
[07:48]
A
But I really started to dive into it deeper.
[07:51]
C
Okay.
[07:51]
A
When I moved back to Destin, because that was part of the identity that I lost.
[07:55]
C
Yeah.
[07:56]
A
Art was always a big part of my life. It's who I was, what I did. And it just felt natural to go jump right back into it.
[08:06]
C
Nice. And so what kind of art? Tell us a little bit about that.
[08:09]
A
I do epoxy resin, and I use a lot of textures and I try to create from my environment around me. I use a lot of the colors of, you know, the water, the sand, the sunsets. I use crystals, quartz, crushed glass, sand.
[08:27]
C
Wow.
[08:27]
A
I just tried to put it all in there. Just create something that's got a lot of movement and texture.
[08:34]
C
All right, so. And how big are these canvases, some of them?
[08:37]
A
Well, they're actually done wood because resin so heavy it sinks canvas. So you'd have this drop in your picture. So you have to use these wood panels. And my biggest one is like 30 inches by 40 inches.
[08:52]
C
Okay.
[08:53]
A
I think. And then sometimes I do series, I'll have like two or four. So they could be quite even larger actually.
[09:00]
C
Yeah. And then epoxy resin, that's that clear stuff that kind of goes in. Right.
[09:06]
A
It's. There's some chemistry involved with epoxy resin because there's different resins mixed differently, different temperatures. That's important. Humidity is important, ventilation is important. So that was all a learning experience for me because I never did that before.
[09:23]
C
Yeah, it's kind of caught on, gotten a little viral moments on, on social media. Like I see people making tables out of it. A lot of. They'll take the, the hairdryer with I guess, white paint and make waves. Right. That looks beautiful.
[09:39]
A
Yes.
[09:40]
C
And so you are making, you're putting sand in there, you're putting glass, crushed glass, like sea glass or both.
[09:48]
A
Sea glass and just using crushed glass.
[09:50]
C
Yeah, yeah. So I'm sure it's nice to have kind of walking down the beach and see, you know, inspiration and be like, oh, I could get this and that and that. Right.
[10:00]
A
Picking up she saws all the time.
[10:02]
C
Awesome. Awesome. Well, I'd love to see your work after this. Thank you. Yeah. So do you have a website for that or.
[10:09]
A
I do.
[10:09]
C
Okay.
[10:09]
A
My website is christinefoxresinart.com.
[10:13]
C
all right, nice. And you've been selling. Have you made a name for yourself? You've done. Because I hear it's really difficult to try to get gallery time and gallery space. So it's almost like an entrepreneurial journey. But artists, you know, they want to be artists. They don't want to promote themselves. Right. So it's kind of like this double edged sword of. All right now I got to kind of put my business hat on and promote myself and try to get in galleries, get the website up. You know, it's, it's, it's pretty involved. Right. And then you have kind of some art selling websites that will try. They'll say they'll do it all for you, but then they're going to be taking the huge fees and taking advantage of you. So. Yeah, give us that Kind of journey. How's that been?
[10:59]
A
The website? It's done well, but now I'm trying to do. I'm setting up with sd, doing, you know, a shop there. I'm donating work to big charity events. To try to get your name out there.
[11:13]
C
Yeah.
[11:14]
A
Displaying my work in certain stores where I know the owners, and they're allowing me to do that, to try to generate. So I'm kind of still in that new stage of building.
[11:25]
C
That's interesting technique. Go in stores and it's almost like, hey, you get this artwork on your wall for free. Right. And sure. If I. If I sell it, do you. Do you give them a percentage also if they.
[11:37]
A
Some of the stores? I do, yeah. But if I get into, like, a doctor's office and he has a piece in there, he's not going to charge me anything.
[11:45]
C
Yeah.
[11:46]
A
He's helped promote my work.
[11:47]
C
Great. And then when it comes off the wall and you sell it, you just give him a new one to put on the wall. So I think that's a good deal, right?
[11:53]
A
Absolutely. Yeah.
[11:56]
C
Great. So are. And you're on. Are you doing, like, social media reels and all of that stuff?
[12:02]
A
I need to do more.
[12:03]
C
Yeah, yeah. There's always more, right?
[12:06]
A
Always more. And. And the younger generation can do it a lot faster than I can.
[12:12]
C
Yeah, It's.
[12:14]
A
I could spend an hour trying to make something work, and it doesn't. Then I get frustrated and move on.
[12:20]
C
Yeah, yeah. So how long does a piece take? You said 30 by 40 inches, approximately.
[12:27]
A
Well. And it also. Well, not just so much the size, but the. What you're doing, because it has to be done in layers, and each layer has to cure, which is 24 hours.
[12:38]
C
Okay.
[12:39]
A
So it's. It could take one piece. Could take a week.
[12:43]
C
Yeah.
[12:43]
A
Depending on what I'm doing.
[12:45]
C
Yeah. Yeah.
[12:46]
A
I can create one in a day, but the big pieces take a little bit longer.
[12:50]
C
Wow. So. And how many layers are you. Are you putting in there? How thick are they?
[12:57]
A
They're not really that thick. And what I mean by layers is because I put something down and it has to dry before I can put something on top of it, which could be a texture.
[13:08]
C
Yeah.
[13:08]
A
Okay. And then after that, I go back and it's detail work, you know, adding in lines.
[13:14]
C
Okay.
[13:15]
A
It's just kind of evolves that way.
[13:18]
C
Yeah, yeah.
[13:19]
A
So it doesn't have to mean layers is in thickness, but layers of what I'm doing to create the piece.
[13:24]
C
Gotcha. Gotcha. Yeah. So you, like, painting can be a layer? The Textures and the materials can be another layer. So it's not just layer of epoxy layers.
[13:35]
A
No.
[13:35]
C
Okay. I'm coming from my photoshop mindset of different layers, you know, or even my, you know, video editing of your layers. Right. So many layers, you know. Great. That's awesome. So you've reinvented yourself, right, at this later stage. And how's it feel?
[13:55]
A
It feels wonderful. I mean, being here in doing all this today has reminded me how far I've come.
[14:03]
C
Yeah.
[14:04]
A
It was such a scary journey in the beginning to just give up everything and to come up to Destin not knowing anyone and making a life. Of course, being a woman. You know, I was 50 and I thought, well, what guy's gonna want a 50 year old? He can get a young girl. So I thought my chances of ever finding a lasting relationship was slim to none. But that, that changed.
[14:30]
C
Yeah. Amazing. Well, congratulations on all of that because it is very hard and many of the times we're our own worst enemies by getting into our head and, and the dark path of doubting yourself, of thinking all these what ifs is so easier to go down every single night because you're trying and you're trying and you're trying or you're looking and you kind of just give up on things. Right. And I don't know, sometimes it just takes someone to come along your way or an email that you get to just give us that little ray of light of hope and then things kind of start moving. So it's, you know, with everything in life, if it was easy, you, you know, first of all, everyone would be doing it. Correct. And you wouldn't appreciate it as much. Right?
[15:24]
A
It's true.
[15:25]
C
And that's kind of like what life is all about, right? Kind of getting over your fears, conquering them, moving forward, putting in the work. Right. So when you finally do get there, you, you appreciate it and, and you know, hey, this is where I want to go because I want to put in all that work. I can't down myself. Like that's. It's either all or nothing, right?
[15:47]
A
Correct.
[15:48]
C
Yeah. So it's important lessons for anyone at, at so many different stages in their life.
[15:54]
A
At any age, at any age, if you're not happy where you're at, you only get one life.
[16:00]
C
Yes.
[16:00]
A
You better choose where you want to be and who you want to be with and what you want to do.
[16:05]
C
Yeah, absolutely. So what are you most excited about
[16:10]
A
right now, today or in general?
[16:14]
C
In general.
[16:16]
A
Most excited about really moving my art.
[16:20]
C
Okay.
[16:21]
A
It is My passion. It's what drives me.
[16:26]
C
Yeah.
[16:27]
A
It's what inspires me because I love to create.
[16:31]
C
Creating is a great thing. And when you kind of take the time on it and, you know, something that takes seven days or however much time it takes you to be able to take a step back, take the slow path, because today's life is just so fast, Right? You got the. It's like now, now, now, Right. Everything is now, now, now. So you don't get a chance to just tune out. Take your time on something, you know, build with your hands again. Right. You know, get dirty, get the paint colors all over the place. Pick up some sea glass, right?
[17:06]
A
Oh, yes.
[17:07]
C
Oh, yeah. That sounds wonderful. Actually, that's. That's something that I was, like, I could see myself getting into in retired life. You know, It's a nice. A nice kind of. What do you call it? Like a small place in the garden.
[17:20]
A
Right.
[17:20]
C
A nice little villa or covered place. Right. With your little art studio, you know? Um, yeah, my wife's from Italy, so I'm. I'm dreaming of that in Italy somewhere,
[17:32]
A
you know, You, Me, both. That's where I want to be.
[17:35]
C
Yeah. Yeah, that's. That's the dream. But so you're. You're. And how's the growth of your real estate been? So how many years has it been now in real estate?
[17:44]
A
Well, I was an investor in real estate prior to getting my license, so I spent a lot of time in real estate. More years from that than I had been licensed because I got licensed. It's been six years.
[17:57]
C
Yeah. And I'm sure that's helped out your investment portfolio as well.
[18:00]
A
Yes.
[18:00]
C
Getting to know it, making the right investments, how important do you think it is? Like, now that you have your license and you were investing before and after your license, is it a complete different world that's. That's opened up to you? Like, would you have made those same investments before you got your license that, like. And. And would you made them after?
[18:20]
A
Well, the difference would be the investments that I'm doing now are solely from me.
[18:26]
C
Yeah. Okay.
[18:27]
A
Friar was with the ex, considered his money, so.
[18:31]
C
Yeah.
[18:31]
A
It's completely different that way. Yeah. It's my dollar on the line.
[18:36]
C
Nice. But in terms of the knowledge that you've gained. Right. And you're saying, like, you know, you made kind of almost blind investments before. Sure. You see the house, but I'm sure as a. Getting your license, you know so much more about housing, the market, the interiors and the materials. Right. Would you have made those Same investments. Let's say it was your money also on the line back then, before and after, would you have made those same investments?
[19:04]
A
No, because I know so much more.
[19:05]
C
All right.
[19:06]
A
Yes.
[19:06]
C
So, yeah. That's amazing. And what are the big things that, you know, more of the important things
[19:12]
A
just in general, to look at a house and discover. I can see more things about it. I can see the bones of it. What things to look for. Like, I could see where leaks were. Or, you know, things that you never wouldn't think about looking at.
[19:26]
C
Yeah.
[19:26]
A
Seeing if the floor can be uneven,
[19:28]
C
some discoloration in the ceiling.
[19:30]
A
I just see those subtle things that you didn't look at before.
[19:34]
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And those subtle things, they can build up and cost a lot of money, right?
[19:39]
A
Yes.
[19:40]
C
Yeah. And you can never kind of like when you're coming up with your. Your pricing, and it's like, okay, well, I have to redo this and that. Anything can happen in the world which will drive up those costs immediately. So you can't even rely on that. You know? No.
[19:59]
A
Real estate, it is all about pricing.
[20:02]
C
Yeah.
[20:02]
A
If you want to sell something, price it right. Because if you don't, it'll sit there.
[20:06]
C
And are you one of those people that will also kind of, you know, do some do it yourself and fix something and then kind of flip it or what kind of agent.
[20:17]
A
Oh, I don't do that anymore. I used to. I don't do that anymore.
[20:20]
C
Yeah.
[20:21]
A
I don't want to. To deal with that.
[20:23]
C
Yeah. And so what kind of investing do you do these days?
[20:26]
A
I pretty much have gotten rid of most of my portfolio.
[20:29]
C
All right, all right.
[20:30]
A
Just. There was just small condos, small in touristy areas that would generate business. But it just became too much, the upkeep, because nobody treats your place like you would treat your place. Okay. And I just kind of got tired of having to go through more new furniture, fix the floors, paint the walls, all the things you have to do. I thought, I just don't want to do that anymore.
[20:55]
C
And it's different. It's almost like with people that I feel like, you know, I've been a nomad. Right. So when I look at places, I'm always looking at fully furnished. Right. And in America, there's a lot of. It's not furnished. Right. And it's like, do I really want to get into the game of buying furniture, buying cups, buying coffee machine? But I mean, there's so much. It's like, yeah. Do you see a trend in the market? Like, more people are Just offering people furnished places.
[21:31]
A
You will see that in condos more than residential homes, because the condos you can turn around and they could be turnkey ready for you or for rentals.
[21:44]
C
And so when you have a residential home, do you rent furniture and furnish it?
[21:50]
A
Sometimes. You know, sometimes people want it staged and sometimes they don't. I mean, one I just recently sold, we didn't stage it. It didn't need to be staged. You can, you walk in and it had this amazing feel to it. Unfurnished.
[22:03]
C
Yeah.
[22:04]
A
So it was fine.
[22:05]
C
Yeah. Some people have that, that vision in their brains where they can just imagine everything and then they want the clear canvas, per se. Right.
[22:14]
A
Well, that's where like AI comes into. Because now in real estate you can do an AI.
[22:20]
C
Correct. Yes.
[22:21]
A
You have a picture, it looks like empty. Then here's a picture of it, what it looks like full click, click, click, click, click.
[22:27]
C
And then you're just flipping through all different kinds of houses, which is what's
[22:31]
A
changing art today too.
[22:33]
C
Yeah. What else do you get into when you're trying to sell a house? Do you do the drone fly throughs and all the videos and everything?
[22:39]
A
The pictures, videos, drone, a lot of mapping and then just marketing all over.
[22:48]
C
All right, and so what are your top kind of top three marketing tips or top. Top three, I guess, general tips in terms of selling the house?
[22:58]
A
Someone to a seller. A tip to a seller?
[23:01]
C
Yeah.
[23:02]
A
Trust your agent.
[23:03]
C
Okay.
[23:04]
A
Trust your experienced agent with the pricing. If you want to sell your house, we will sell it. If you want me to list your house, I'll list it. There's two. That's two distinctly different things. Sell or list.
[23:16]
C
And for the buyer. Right. Like I see myself sometimes just for fun, also to see the market. Right. I'll look through houses on Zillow. You know, I'll put my parameters down, see what's out there. Right. I'll get a little dreaming in, you know. Are those houses on Zillow all that's there or the real estate agents have a whole kind of, you know, I guess, log of houses that they're not putting on Zillow.
[23:45]
A
No. Zillow now is integrated into all of our MLS systems.
[23:50]
C
Yeah.
[23:51]
A
So they're all the same. The only thing that we would have differently is we have what we call like an out of pocket listing. A listing that we know someone wants to sell, but they don't want to put it on. They don't want to put it on the market in that system. So it's something you just keep in the back of your mind that you know for someone who comes along.
[24:08]
C
Yeah, well, so once again just how do people find you real estate or your art? Once again.

Podcast Summary: Living Your Legacy with Rudy Mawer
Episode: "How She Reinvented Her Life at 50"
Guest: Christine Fox
Date: July 30, 2026

Episode Overview

This episode spotlights Christine Fox, a realtor and artist based in Destin, Florida. She shares her deeply personal journey of starting life over at age 50 after the end of a marriage and experiencing significant health challenges. The conversation explores themes of reinvention, overcoming fear and self-doubt, entrepreneurship in both real estate and art, and living life to its fullest regardless of age.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Reinventing Life at 50

Christine left a long-term marriage and had to rediscover her identity and purpose.
- "To reinvent yourself at 50, it is scary, especially for a woman and a woman who hasn't worked in many years." (00:00, 04:14)
She emphasizes that it’s never too late for a fresh start.
- "But, no, it's never too late." (00:19, 04:14)
The transition was driven by necessity (failing marriage, loss of identity), and Christine freely discusses the fear and self-doubt inherent in such a leap.
- "You self-doubt, your, you know, self-doubt creeps in. I'm not good enough. I'm not worth it. You know, we can put all of that into our mind." (05:51)
- "It took a huge leap for me to turn over at 50, thinking that I was too old." (04:14)

2. Embracing New Careers: Real Estate & Art

After moving to Destin, Christine shifted to a career in real estate, leveraging previous experience as a Pilates instructor and veterinary technician but seeking more autonomy and connection with her environment.
- "I’m a realtor and an artist. Prefer to spend more time with my art than real estate, but real estate does pay the bills pretty well." (03:31)
She describes the real estate license process as manageable: "The license is easy. It’s just studying. And I'm not one of those people who fear taking tests." (06:51)
Real estate market shifts have impacted her work, but she has adapted her approach accordingly. She distinguishes between "selling" and "listing" homes and the importance of pricing.
- "If you want to sell something, price it right. Because if you don't, it'll sit there." (20:01)
- "Sell or list... that's two distinctly different things." (23:13)

3. Artistic Journey & Creating a Legacy Through Art

Christine has always pursued art but deepened her engagement post-divorce as a means of reclaiming her identity.
- "Art was always a big part of my life. It's who I was, what I did. And it just felt natural to go jump right back into it." (07:56)
She works with epoxy resin, often inspired by her coastal environment, integrating sand, crushed glass, and sea glass into her pieces.
- "I do epoxy resin, and I use a lot of textures and I try to create from my environment around me." (08:08)
Building an art business entailed entrepreneurial efforts (websites, gallery outreach, charity donations, store displays).
- "I'm setting up with Etsy… I'm donating work to big charity events. To try to get your name out there." (10:59)
- "Artists, you know, they want to be artists. They don't want to promote themselves… it's pretty involved." (10:13)
Her website: christinefoxresinart.com (10:09, 24:17)

4. Overcoming Obstacles: Health & Mindset

Christine survived a heart attack earlier in the year, further cementing her perspective on living authentically and fully.
- "There’s one where I started over at 50 years of age, and the second one was more recent, having a heart attack earlier this year." (03:55)
She candidly reflects on how fear often overwhelms excitement amid big changes:
- "The fear takes over… you send out some resumes, you knock on a few doors, call a few people. You're getting no answers." (05:42–06:02)
Finding the courage to try again and resist self-defeating thoughts was crucial.
- "Many of the times we're our own worst enemies by getting into our head and, and the dark path of doubting yourself, of thinking all these what ifs is so easier to go down every single night..." (14:30)

5. Building a Life and Career as a Mature Woman

Christine discusses societal challenges for women starting over after 50, particularly around relationships and self-worth:
- "I was 50 and I thought, well, what guy's going to want a 50 year old? He can get a young girl. So I thought my chances of ever finding a lasting relationship was slim to none." (01:37, 14:02)
Host and guest highlight the value of persistence.
- "If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Correct. And you wouldn't appreciate it as much, Right?" (15:23)
- "At any age, if you're not happy where you're at, you only get one life." (15:53)

6. Real Estate Strategies and Market Insights

Christine offers practical real estate tips:
- Trusting your agent’s experience, especially on pricing (23:01)
- Importance of marketing: photos, drone footage, AI staging (22:38–23:13)
Differences between investing before and after becoming an agent—greater confidence and knowledge post-licensure.
- "Would you have made those same investments before you got your license?... No, because I know so much more." (18:00–19:05)
She also touches on trends in furnished versus unfurnished home listings and short-term rental management (20:25–21:44).

7. Living Your Legacy & Looking Forward

Christine’s passion and excitement are now focused on growing her art—a source of fulfillment and inspiration.
- "Most excited about really moving my art. It is my passion. It's what drives me. It's what inspires me because I love to create." (16:15)
The value of creativity, patience, and savoring the process counterbalances the relentless pace of modern life.
- "Take your time on something, you know, build with your hands again. Right. You know, get dirty, get the paint colors all over the place. Pick up some sea glass, right?" (16:30–17:06)

It took a huge leap for me to turn over at 50 thinking that I was too old. You know, I can't do it. What am I going to do? But no, it's never too late.

It was such a scary journey in the beginning to just give up everything and to come up to Destin not knowing anyone and making a life, of course, being a woman. You know, I was 50 and I thought, well, what guy's going to want a 50 year old? He can get a young girl.

You said Paul is the fastest man on the planet.
[01:43]
C
You can live your dreams. Hello. Welcome back to another episode of Living youg Legacy podcast. I'm your host again today, Jay Slangan. We're here in sunny and beautiful Miami Beach, Florida and we have a special guest who just came from the pink room that we have next door and she brought the pink into the podcast room. She's looking quite fabulous. And. Yeah. Introduce yourself.
[02:08]
A
I'm Christine Fox. I am from Destin, Florida.
[02:11]
C
All right, Destin, where is that? In the Panhandle. Where's Destin?
[02:16]
A
Destin's in the Panhandle. It's between Pensacola and Panama City Beach.
[02:21]
C
Okay, so you drove or took a flight here?
[02:23]
A
Oh, I flew.
[02:24]
C
Okay. Okay. I'm, I'm, I'm new to Florida. It's like two years now. So I'm still getting the layout of the land.
[02:32]
A
I got a ten hour drive.
[02:33]
C
Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I'm originally from Connecticut, so 10 hours would land me in like, I don't know, maybe North Carolina or something. So it's a big state. Anyways, yeah, so I heard you just got off the, off the set. How was filming and everything?
[02:50]
A
Oh, filming was great. I truly enjoyed it. It was a Lot of fun. And, of course, my guy was wonderful.
[02:55]
C
Yeah.
[02:56]
A
Helped me along.
[02:57]
C
And were you nervous before? And how did it kind of pan out when you were finally in the chair?
[03:03]
A
I wasn't nervous. Yeah, I. I wasn't nervous. I think I had more to say than I needed to say, if that makes any sense.
[03:11]
C
Hey, more is always better, right? Right. And so. So, yeah, I heard a lot of interesting things about you that you kind of had this whole rediscovery and new outlook on life, which just sounds wonderful. So tell us a little bit about yourself, actually. First, what do you do?
[03:31]
A
I am a realtor and an artist. Prefer to spend more time with my art than real estate, but real estate does pay the bills pretty well.
[03:41]
C
Yeah.
[03:45]
A
I don't know. What else did you want to know for me?
[03:47]
C
Yeah, you had this kind of new outlook on life, and so where did that stem from? And why is it a new outlook on life?
[03:56]
A
It's a new outlet for me. There's two. There's one where I started over at 50 years of age, and the second one was more recent, having a heart attack earlier this year.
[04:07]
C
Oh, okay. So starting over at 50, I mean, that's probably takes a big leap, right?
[04:14]
A
It took a huge leap for me to turn over at 50, thinking that I was too old. You know, I can't do it. What am I going to do? But, no, it's never too late.
[04:25]
C
Wow. And what were. What were you escaping? I guess.
[04:29]
A
Well, I was escaping loss of identity through a failing marriage.
[04:34]
C
Okay. Yeah. So that's even a bigger leap. Right. Because you're solo now, and you're kind of almost a later midlife crisis, if. If you kind of want to say it that way. Right?
[04:48]
A
Well, kind of, yes. I'm not solo. I could remarry.
[04:51]
C
Oh, okay, great. So you do have support. But reinventing yourself at that age, I'm sure it's scary on everyone. You know, there's a lot of people, even now, they're getting fired from their jobs, Right. A lot of, like, thousands of tech firings here with the advent of AI. So a lot of people, you know, this message of reinventing themselves at 50 is an important one these days because people are kind of forced into it, right?
[05:18]
A
Yes, they are forced into it. And to reinvent yourself at 50, it is scary, especially for a woman. And a woman who hasn't worked in many years. A couple decades.
[05:30]
C
Yeah.
[05:31]
A
And now to have to find herself, to go back out into the workforce and reinvent herself. Yeah, it is. It is big step. And it is quite scary for. It was scary.
[05:42]
C
More scary than exciting. Right. People should be looking at it in an exciting manner. But it's just the fear, right? Just kind of takes over.
[05:51]
A
The fear takes over. You self doubt, your, you know, self doubt creeps in. I'm not good enough. I'm not worth it. You know, we can put all of that into our mind.
[06:03]
C
Yeah. You send out some resumes, you knock on a few doors, call a few people. You're getting no answers. So how long did that journey take?
[06:12]
A
The journey didn't take too long. I did have some professions to fall back on. I was a Pilates instructor. I still teach Pilates. I was a veterinarian technician, anesthesiologist. So I always had that to go back on too. But I decided I didn't want to be in closed doors. So I got my real estate license.
[06:35]
C
Hey, nice. Great. So, yeah, that's. Real estate is exciting. I'm sure in Pennsylvania as well. A lot of people getting into it. Finally. When you did get into it, how was it? How was it getting the license? Was it difficult?
[06:51]
A
Oh, no, the license is easy. It's just studying. I don't have a problem studying. And I'm not one of those people who fear taking tests, so I was okay with all of that.
[07:00]
C
Nice, nice, nice. And how has it been?
[07:03]
A
It's been good. It had a little, you know, drop off here a few years ago when the market kind of went crazy where everything was overpriced and everybody was outbidding.
[07:14]
C
Everybody was overpriced, was over, still is
[07:17]
A
overpriced, and it just exploded where people were paying way more than houses were worth.
[07:23]
C
So. Yeah.
[07:24]
A
Crazy.
[07:25]
C
Yeah. And so you were doing, what is it not. Not commercial real estate, but just like resident residential real estate. Yeah. Great. So you're. You're into real estate and then something else happens where you get into the art or you got into the art first or.
[07:46]
A
I've always been in the art.
[07:47]
C
Yeah.
[07:48]
A
But I really started to dive into it deeper.
[07:51]
C
Okay.
[07:51]
A
When I moved back to Destin, because that was part of the identity that I lost.
[07:55]
C
Yeah.
[07:56]
A
Art was always a big part of my life. It's who I was, what I did. And it just felt natural to go jump right back into it.
[08:06]
C
Nice. And so what kind of art? Tell us a little bit about that.
[08:09]
A
I do epoxy resin, and I use a lot of textures and I try to create from my environment around me. I use a lot of the colors of, you know, the water, the sand, the sunsets. I use crystals, quartz, crushed glass, sand.
[08:27]
C
Wow.
[08:27]
A
I just tried to put it all in there. Just create something that's got a lot of movement and texture.
[08:34]
C
All right, so. And how big are these canvases, some of them?
[08:37]
A
Well, they're actually done wood because resin so heavy it sinks canvas. So you'd have this drop in your picture. So you have to use these wood panels. And my biggest one is like 30 inches by 40 inches.
[08:52]
C
Okay.
[08:53]
A
I think. And then sometimes I do series, I'll have like two or four. So they could be quite even larger actually.
[09:00]
C
Yeah. And then epoxy resin, that's that clear stuff that kind of goes in. Right.
[09:06]
A
It's. There's some chemistry involved with epoxy resin because there's different resins mixed differently, different temperatures. That's important. Humidity is important, ventilation is important. So that was all a learning experience for me because I never did that before.
[09:23]
C
Yeah, it's kind of caught on, gotten a little viral moments on, on social media. Like I see people making tables out of it. A lot of. They'll take the, the hairdryer with I guess, white paint and make waves. Right. That looks beautiful.
[09:39]
A
Yes.
[09:40]
C
And so you are making, you're putting sand in there, you're putting glass, crushed glass, like sea glass or both.
[09:48]
A
Sea glass and just using crushed glass.
[09:50]
C
Yeah, yeah. So I'm sure it's nice to have kind of walking down the beach and see, you know, inspiration and be like, oh, I could get this and that and that. Right.
[10:00]
A
Picking up she saws all the time.
[10:02]
C
Awesome. Awesome. Well, I'd love to see your work after this. Thank you. Yeah. So do you have a website for that or.
[10:09]
A
I do.
[10:09]
C
Okay.
[10:09]
A
My website is christinefoxresinart.com.
[10:13]
C
all right, nice. And you've been selling. Have you made a name for yourself? You've done. Because I hear it's really difficult to try to get gallery time and gallery space. So it's almost like an entrepreneurial journey. But artists, you know, they want to be artists. They don't want to promote themselves. Right. So it's kind of like this double edged sword of. All right now I got to kind of put my business hat on and promote myself and try to get in galleries, get the website up. You know, it's, it's, it's pretty involved. Right. And then you have kind of some art selling websites that will try. They'll say they'll do it all for you, but then they're going to be taking the huge fees and taking advantage of you. So. Yeah, give us that Kind of journey. How's that been?
[10:59]
A
The website? It's done well, but now I'm trying to do. I'm setting up with sd, doing, you know, a shop there. I'm donating work to big charity events. To try to get your name out there.
[11:13]
C
Yeah.
[11:14]
A
Displaying my work in certain stores where I know the owners, and they're allowing me to do that, to try to generate. So I'm kind of still in that new stage of building.
[11:25]
C
That's interesting technique. Go in stores and it's almost like, hey, you get this artwork on your wall for free. Right. And sure. If I. If I sell it, do you. Do you give them a percentage also if they.
[11:37]
A
Some of the stores? I do, yeah. But if I get into, like, a doctor's office and he has a piece in there, he's not going to charge me anything.
[11:45]
C
Yeah.
[11:46]
A
He's helped promote my work.
[11:47]
C
Great. And then when it comes off the wall and you sell it, you just give him a new one to put on the wall. So I think that's a good deal, right?
[11:53]
A
Absolutely. Yeah.
[11:56]
C
Great. So are. And you're on. Are you doing, like, social media reels and all of that stuff?
[12:02]
A
I need to do more.
[12:03]
C
Yeah, yeah. There's always more, right?
[12:06]
A
Always more. And. And the younger generation can do it a lot faster than I can.
[12:12]
C
Yeah, It's.
[12:14]
A
I could spend an hour trying to make something work, and it doesn't. Then I get frustrated and move on.
[12:20]
C
Yeah, yeah. So how long does a piece take? You said 30 by 40 inches, approximately.
[12:27]
A
Well. And it also. Well, not just so much the size, but the. What you're doing, because it has to be done in layers, and each layer has to cure, which is 24 hours.
[12:38]
C
Okay.
[12:39]
A
So it's. It could take one piece. Could take a week.
[12:43]
C
Yeah.
[12:43]
A
Depending on what I'm doing.
[12:45]
C
Yeah. Yeah.
[12:46]
A
I can create one in a day, but the big pieces take a little bit longer.
[12:50]
C
Wow. So. And how many layers are you. Are you putting in there? How thick are they?
[12:57]
A
They're not really that thick. And what I mean by layers is because I put something down and it has to dry before I can put something on top of it, which could be a texture.
[13:08]
C
Yeah.
[13:08]
A
Okay. And then after that, I go back and it's detail work, you know, adding in lines.
[13:14]
C
Okay.
[13:15]
A
It's just kind of evolves that way.
[13:18]
C
Yeah, yeah.
[13:19]
A
So it doesn't have to mean layers is in thickness, but layers of what I'm doing to create the piece.
[13:24]
C
Gotcha. Gotcha. Yeah. So you, like, painting can be a layer? The Textures and the materials can be another layer. So it's not just layer of epoxy layers.
[13:35]
A
No.
[13:35]
C
Okay. I'm coming from my photoshop mindset of different layers, you know, or even my, you know, video editing of your layers. Right. So many layers, you know. Great. That's awesome. So you've reinvented yourself, right, at this later stage. And how's it feel?
[13:55]
A
It feels wonderful. I mean, being here in doing all this today has reminded me how far I've come.
[14:03]
C
Yeah.
[14:04]
A
It was such a scary journey in the beginning to just give up everything and to come up to Destin not knowing anyone and making a life. Of course, being a woman. You know, I was 50 and I thought, well, what guy's gonna want a 50 year old? He can get a young girl. So I thought my chances of ever finding a lasting relationship was slim to none. But that, that changed.
[14:30]
C
Yeah. Amazing. Well, congratulations on all of that because it is very hard and many of the times we're our own worst enemies by getting into our head and, and the dark path of doubting yourself, of thinking all these what ifs is so easier to go down every single night because you're trying and you're trying and you're trying or you're looking and you kind of just give up on things. Right. And I don't know, sometimes it just takes someone to come along your way or an email that you get to just give us that little ray of light of hope and then things kind of start moving. So it's, you know, with everything in life, if it was easy, you, you know, first of all, everyone would be doing it. Correct. And you wouldn't appreciate it as much. Right?
[15:24]
A
It's true.
[15:25]
C
And that's kind of like what life is all about, right? Kind of getting over your fears, conquering them, moving forward, putting in the work. Right. So when you finally do get there, you, you appreciate it and, and you know, hey, this is where I want to go because I want to put in all that work. I can't down myself. Like that's. It's either all or nothing, right?
[15:47]
A
Correct.
[15:48]
C
Yeah. So it's important lessons for anyone at, at so many different stages in their life.
[15:54]
A
At any age, at any age, if you're not happy where you're at, you only get one life.
[16:00]
C
Yes.
[16:00]
A
You better choose where you want to be and who you want to be with and what you want to do.
[16:05]
C
Yeah, absolutely. So what are you most excited about
[16:10]
A
right now, today or in general?
[16:14]
C
In general.
[16:16]
A
Most excited about really moving my art.
[16:20]
C
Okay.
[16:21]
A
It is My passion. It's what drives me.
[16:26]
C
Yeah.
[16:27]
A
It's what inspires me because I love to create.
[16:31]
C
Creating is a great thing. And when you kind of take the time on it and, you know, something that takes seven days or however much time it takes you to be able to take a step back, take the slow path, because today's life is just so fast, Right? You got the. It's like now, now, now, Right. Everything is now, now, now. So you don't get a chance to just tune out. Take your time on something, you know, build with your hands again. Right. You know, get dirty, get the paint colors all over the place. Pick up some sea glass, right?
[17:06]
A
Oh, yes.
[17:07]
C
Oh, yeah. That sounds wonderful. Actually, that's. That's something that I was, like, I could see myself getting into in retired life. You know, It's a nice. A nice kind of. What do you call it? Like a small place in the garden.
[17:20]
A
Right.
[17:20]
C
A nice little villa or covered place. Right. With your little art studio, you know? Um, yeah, my wife's from Italy, so I'm. I'm dreaming of that in Italy somewhere,
[17:32]
A
you know, You, Me, both. That's where I want to be.
[17:35]
C
Yeah. Yeah, that's. That's the dream. But so you're. You're. And how's the growth of your real estate been? So how many years has it been now in real estate?
[17:44]
A
Well, I was an investor in real estate prior to getting my license, so I spent a lot of time in real estate. More years from that than I had been licensed because I got licensed. It's been six years.
[17:57]
C
Yeah. And I'm sure that's helped out your investment portfolio as well.
[18:00]
A
Yes.
[18:00]
C
Getting to know it, making the right investments, how important do you think it is? Like, now that you have your license and you were investing before and after your license, is it a complete different world that's. That's opened up to you? Like, would you have made those same investments before you got your license that, like. And. And would you made them after?
[18:20]
A
Well, the difference would be the investments that I'm doing now are solely from me.
[18:26]
C
Yeah. Okay.
[18:27]
A
Friar was with the ex, considered his money, so.
[18:31]
C
Yeah.
[18:31]
A
It's completely different that way. Yeah. It's my dollar on the line.
[18:36]
C
Nice. But in terms of the knowledge that you've gained. Right. And you're saying, like, you know, you made kind of almost blind investments before. Sure. You see the house, but I'm sure as a. Getting your license, you know so much more about housing, the market, the interiors and the materials. Right. Would you have made those Same investments. Let's say it was your money also on the line back then, before and after, would you have made those same investments?
[19:04]
A
No, because I know so much more.
[19:05]
C
All right.
[19:06]
A
Yes.
[19:06]
C
So, yeah. That's amazing. And what are the big things that, you know, more of the important things
[19:12]
A
just in general, to look at a house and discover. I can see more things about it. I can see the bones of it. What things to look for. Like, I could see where leaks were. Or, you know, things that you never wouldn't think about looking at.
[19:26]
C
Yeah.
[19:26]
A
Seeing if the floor can be uneven,
[19:28]
C
some discoloration in the ceiling.
[19:30]
A
I just see those subtle things that you didn't look at before.
[19:34]
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And those subtle things, they can build up and cost a lot of money, right?
[19:39]
A
Yes.
[19:40]
C
Yeah. And you can never kind of like when you're coming up with your. Your pricing, and it's like, okay, well, I have to redo this and that. Anything can happen in the world which will drive up those costs immediately. So you can't even rely on that. You know? No.
[19:59]
A
Real estate, it is all about pricing.
[20:02]
C
Yeah.
[20:02]
A
If you want to sell something, price it right. Because if you don't, it'll sit there.
[20:06]
C
And are you one of those people that will also kind of, you know, do some do it yourself and fix something and then kind of flip it or what kind of agent.
[20:17]
A
Oh, I don't do that anymore. I used to. I don't do that anymore.
[20:20]
C
Yeah.
[20:21]
A
I don't want to. To deal with that.
[20:23]
C
Yeah. And so what kind of investing do you do these days?
[20:26]
A
I pretty much have gotten rid of most of my portfolio.
[20:29]
C
All right, all right.
[20:30]
A
Just. There was just small condos, small in touristy areas that would generate business. But it just became too much, the upkeep, because nobody treats your place like you would treat your place. Okay. And I just kind of got tired of having to go through more new furniture, fix the floors, paint the walls, all the things you have to do. I thought, I just don't want to do that anymore.
[20:55]
C
And it's different. It's almost like with people that I feel like, you know, I've been a nomad. Right. So when I look at places, I'm always looking at fully furnished. Right. And in America, there's a lot of. It's not furnished. Right. And it's like, do I really want to get into the game of buying furniture, buying cups, buying coffee machine? But I mean, there's so much. It's like, yeah. Do you see a trend in the market? Like, more people are Just offering people furnished places.
[21:31]
A
You will see that in condos more than residential homes, because the condos you can turn around and they could be turnkey ready for you or for rentals.
[21:44]
C
And so when you have a residential home, do you rent furniture and furnish it?
[21:50]
A
Sometimes. You know, sometimes people want it staged and sometimes they don't. I mean, one I just recently sold, we didn't stage it. It didn't need to be staged. You can, you walk in and it had this amazing feel to it. Unfurnished.
[22:03]
C
Yeah.
[22:04]
A
So it was fine.
[22:05]
C
Yeah. Some people have that, that vision in their brains where they can just imagine everything and then they want the clear canvas, per se. Right.
[22:14]
A
Well, that's where like AI comes into. Because now in real estate you can do an AI.
[22:20]
C
Correct. Yes.
[22:21]
A
You have a picture, it looks like empty. Then here's a picture of it, what it looks like full click, click, click, click, click.
[22:27]
C
And then you're just flipping through all different kinds of houses, which is what's
[22:31]
A
changing art today too.
[22:33]
C
Yeah. What else do you get into when you're trying to sell a house? Do you do the drone fly throughs and all the videos and everything?
[22:39]
A
The pictures, videos, drone, a lot of mapping and then just marketing all over.
[22:48]
C
All right, and so what are your top kind of top three marketing tips or top. Top three, I guess, general tips in terms of selling the house?
[22:58]
A
Someone to a seller. A tip to a seller?
[23:01]
C
Yeah.
[23:02]
A
Trust your agent.
[23:03]
C
Okay.
[23:04]
A
Trust your experienced agent with the pricing. If you want to sell your house, we will sell it. If you want me to list your house, I'll list it. There's two. That's two distinctly different things. Sell or list.
[23:16]
C
And for the buyer. Right. Like I see myself sometimes just for fun, also to see the market. Right. I'll look through houses on Zillow. You know, I'll put my parameters down, see what's out there. Right. I'll get a little dreaming in, you know. Are those houses on Zillow all that's there or the real estate agents have a whole kind of, you know, I guess, log of houses that they're not putting on Zillow.
[23:45]
A
No. Zillow now is integrated into all of our MLS systems.
[23:50]
C
Yeah.
[23:51]
A
So they're all the same. The only thing that we would have differently is we have what we call like an out of pocket listing. A listing that we know someone wants to sell, but they don't want to put it on. They don't want to put it on the market in that system. So it's something you just keep in the back of your mind that you know for someone who comes along.
[24:08]
C
Yeah, well, so once again just how do people find you real estate or your art? Once again.
[24:18]
A
Okay, so Christine Fox, realtor. Yeah, that's how you can find me. And then the website for my art is christine fox residentart.com all right.
