FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
As a top real estate agent in Chesapeake, my first piece of advice for any buyer is to be prepared before you begin your search. Get pre-approved for a mortgage, clarify your must-haves and deal-breakers, and research the area thoroughly. The Chesapeake market moves quickly, so you’ll want a strong team on your side particularly an experienced local agent who understands market trends and neighborhood nuances. Finally, always schedule professional inspections to uncover any hidden issues. By planning ahead and partnering with a knowledgeable agent, you’ll be well-positioned to secure the best possible home for you and your family.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
As a top real estate agent in Chesapeake, my first recommendation is to price your home correctly from the start. Research local market trends, consult with an experienced real estate professional, and consider a pre-listing inspection to address potential issues before buyers walk through the door. Next, focus on curb appeal and strategic staging to highlight your home’s best features. Finally, utilize a comprehensive marketing plan including professional photos and a strong online presence to attract the right audience. By combining accurate pricing, impressive presentation, and expert guidance, you’ll maximize your chances of a successful, profitable sale.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
As a top real estate agent in Chesapeake, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide variety of clients. Military families make up a large portion of my clientele, given the area’s strong military presence. I’ve also guided professional athletes, executives, and musicians in finding homes that fit their unique lifestyles. My goal is always to tailor my approach to each client’s individual needs.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
As a top real estate agent in Chesapeake, one recent transaction that stands out involved a military family relocating on short notice. Their financing fell through just days before closing, creating a high-stress situation for everyone. I immediately tapped into my network of lenders, secured new financing, and negotiated a brief extension with the seller. In the end, we closed successfully on time and the family was able to move into their new home without missing a beat. That level of teamwork and perseverance under pressure is exactly why I love what I do.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
As a top real estate agent in Virginia Beach, my journey into the industry began in a rather unexpected place, the defense contractor field. I spent years managing large-scale projects and coordinating with various government agencies, which taught me how to handle high-pressure situations and solve complex problems on tight deadlines. One day, I helped a friend find a home while juggling a major work deadline, and I realized how much I loved matching people with the perfect property. That spark inspired me to leverage my project management skills, attention to detail, and passion for helping others—ultimately launching a rewarding career in real estate.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
As a top real estate agent in Norfolk, I leverage my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, AI training, along with other advanced degrees, to provide a truly data-driven approach for my clients. My technical background helps me analyze market trends, optimize online listings, and streamline complex transactions. By combining real estate expertise with cutting-edge analytics and problem-solving skills, I’m able to offer an elevated experience that sets me apart in today’s competitive market.

Chris was fantastic to work with! He was there every step of the way and answered all my questions quickly even though I had a tendency to ask stuff at odd hours. He got me a great deal and it was more than I expected. 10/10 would recommend!

Chris was extremely helpful from the moment we chose him as our realtor. Every home we looked at, he was quick to point out flaws or highlights in the home that the average home buyer wouldnt look for. He went above and beyond in this wild housing market to ensure every offer we submitted was as competitive as possible. It didnt matter if it was 7pm on a weekend or weeknight, Chris was always willing to show us a home we were interested in. I cant recommend Chris enough to anyone looking for a realtor!

Terrific realtor and person! We have worked with Chris since 2019. He assisted us with purchasing 3 homes, and selling 1 home. He is patient, smart, and definitely able to think outside of the box. He is a tremendous resource for military families!
