“Working with Christine has been an absolute treasure. She's extremely knowledgeable and effective in navigating the various agencies that comprise the City of Los Angeles. Time and time again she has added tremendous value and I do not know where our project would have been had it not been for her determination and consistent results. I look forward to working with her on many projects to come!”

“Christine was instrumental in helping our team navigate an extremely convoluted approvals process with various agencies including LADWP, BOE, and LADOT. She put the right people in the room to make the necessary decisions and saved us months of time in the overall schedule. Even our subcontractors, who have worked with these same agencies for decades, were shocked by how quickly we were able to procure approvals with Christine’s help. Christine’s constant communication and intimate knowledge of the system made the process so much more manageable and smooth. We will not hesitate to turn to Christine and Seawolf for any of our other projects in Los Angeles.”

“Christine Rangel is a thoroughly professional and talented individual. For our complex entitlement for a housing project in Los Angeles, Christine not only spoke on our behalf at several public hearings with astute facts and polished demeanor, but then also led a grassroots effort to bring numerous other speakers and stakeholders to speak on our behalf. It made the difference. Highly recommended!”

“Christine did a wonderful job working with a utility to expedite two of our projects. Her expertise was essential in reducing a 4 week process to under 5 days, and allowed our homeowners to move in on schedule. I will always turn to her for help when dealing with utilities and the City of LA.”
Brett Trebil
Vice President of Operations
Watt Communities (2020)
