According to his bio on ABC, Christian is a real estate agent from Boston, Massachusetts. He is only 26 years old and has already made some major boss moves in his career. He reportedly sold over $25 million worth of residential real estate properties. Per Christian Smith's LinkedIn, he has worked for Keller Williams Realty for three years and is based in Newburyport, Massachusetts. He is also the business owner of Property Smith LLC, which he created in 2018. The Bachelorette contestant has garnered multiple awards, including Top 7 Real Estate Agent in Greater Boston 2020, Top Producing Agent in 2019, and a recipient of the 2018 Rookie of the Year Award. Christian is a licensed real estate agent, but he is also an investor and an uncertified life coach. A fun fact about Christian is that he loves parades and has fought in mixed martial arts bouts.

His ABC bio also notes that Christian sees romance in everything. His parents have been married since their early twenties, and his dream is to have a long-lasting love like theirs. He's family orientated and wants his significant other to love them as much as he does. The Massachusetts native also wants a woman who is confident and driven and has a judgment-free relationship. The Bachelorette contestant is looking for a romantic partner who is also his best friend willing to go through life's successes and failures with him. Christian's ideal qualities of a woman fit Katie perfectly. While Katie was competing on Matt James' season, she instantly became a fan-favorite. Her confidence, self-assurance, sense of humor, and willingness to stand up to bullies won the hearts of Bachelor nation fans. She has no problem with speaking her mind, so she and Christian could mesh really well together.

It appears Christian has appealing qualities that can make him a good contender on the show. However, as Bachelor nation fans know, anything can happen. There is still much more to learn about the real estate agent, and it'll be interesting to follow his journey. Will he get the final rose? Fans will have to wait and see on The Bachelorette.
