Meet Chris

As a Real Estate Agent, Chris is passionate about exceeding his client's expectations, and in an industry that's constantly changing it's imperative that you partner with someone who not only knows the market inside and out but is also committed to you and your ultimate goals!
 
Originally from the Midwest, Chris and his wife moved to the sunny state of Florida nearly 20 years ago. They spent a few years traveling and moving around wanting to experience all the wonderful opportunities Florida has to offer. It wasn’t until they found out they were pregnant with their first child that the search for their “home” began. Three daughters later, they can’t see themselves living anywhere else, and absolutely love the west coast of Florida and calling Sarasota County, home!
 
In addition to a deep appreciation and understanding of the local area and real estate market, Chris offers you over 25 years of successful high-level sales and marketing experience. He is a certified Global Luxury Specialist, an International President Elite and International President's Circle award winner, as well as an International Diamond Society and Circle of Excellence recipient! Chris was recently ranked #1 in sales and volume for Coldwell Banker Sarasota Central, and is among industry leaders representing the top 2% of all Coldwell Banker agents Worldwide! Buying and selling real estate is so much more than simply putting a sign out front or driving around from property to property. You need a partner, an expert, and a negotiator who knows how to fight for you and your best interests!
 
Whether you're looking to purchase your first home, a forever home, or that investment or commercial property, Chris would be honored to have the opportunity and partner with you on the journey.
