With an impressive track record in the real estate industry spanning over two decades, Chris is not only a seasoned California real estate agent but also a distinguished entrepreneur in the field.

His clients consistently laud his exceptional ability to collaborate effectively with all stakeholders, including buyers, sellers, landlords, and developers, while empathizing with their individual needs.

His passion for giving back is evident through active philanthropy, where he serves on the Board of Trustees for the Horizons Foundation and the San Francisco Art Institute during his spare time.
