Growing up in a family of real estate professionals, his own real estate career took root in 2003 as a support role at one of the larger brokerages in the valley. Two years later, he obtained his real estate license.
His first year in the business was rewarding and successful as he was named Rookie of the Year for the entire firm. Since 2013, Chris has been a Coldwell Banker Premier Realty branch manager, instrumental in bringing his forward-thinking mentality, real estate skill set and contagious positivity to grow and expand the offices he leads.
Chris has been highly involved with the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors, serving on various committees, in addition to the board of directors. He was a GLVAR director for three years before being elected as GLVAR’s treasurer in 2014.
