Christine Turk

Founder & Owner, 5 Star Management

Licensed Real Estate Broker

Born and raised in Eugene, Oregon, I’m happy to call myself a local and a native Oregonian. I grew up playing sports—swimming, water polo, and softball—and spent just as much time enjoying the rivers and lakes of my hometown as I did in the pool. My first job was at Amazon Pool, where I started working at 15 as a lifeguard and swim instructor—a role I held year-round until I moved to New York at 21.

I moved away and spent my twenties living on the East Coast and in Portland, Oregon, before returning to Eugene on my 30th birthday with a renewed sense of purpose and connection to the community.

After graduating from Portland State University with a degree in business, I came back to Eugene and dove into the real estate world as a Licensed Property Manager. In September 2021, I founded my own property management company, 5 Star Management, which specializes in short-term, mid-term, and long-term rentals. In May 2025, I expanded my expertise and became a Licensed Real Estate Broker in the State of Oregon with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Equinox, allowing my team and me to offer a broader range of services and better serve clients in both property management and real estate transactions.

Now as an adult, I play on various recreational softball leagues, take my dogs on walks, frequent the farmers market, and love attending outdoor concerts. And occasionally, you’ll still find me doing laps in the pool.
