Christine Tran is the founder of Invictus Real Estate Advisors, Illuminate Capital, and Illuvion.

She has spent her career inside capital, underwriting it, approving it, carrying it, and living with the consequences long after closing. She knows where deals actually turn, quietly, long before the documents catch up. When Christine brings a deal forward, it is not to sell it. It is because the structure is ready to be discussed. The risks have been named. The tradeoffs are explicit. Nothing is hidden behind urgency or narrative. She does not bring a pitch. She brings a conversation between people who understand what’s at stake.
