Chris Murray

Chris Murray is one of the most accomplished and consistent real estate professionals in the Inland Empire, with a track record built on results, not hype.

Chris is the Broker/Owner of REMAX Empire Properties located in the California Oaks Shopping Center in Murrieta where he owns and admins the 63,000 member Murrieta Talk community Facebook Group. He is #1 all-time in home sales in Hemet, #1 all-time in San Jacinto, and ranks among the Top 10 agents of all time in Riverside County for listings SOLD. His career production, local market knowledge, and ability to consistently deliver for sellers have made him a go-to name across the region.

Chris was ranked #1 agent in Riverside County by The Wall Street Journal / REAL Trends for six consecutive years (2013-2018) and #1 in the entire metro area three years in a row (2014-2016). He was later removed from rankings after becoming a team-an important distinction that reflects his transition from top-producing agent to business leader.

As the leader of a team responsible for over 4,000 homes sold, Chris has also consistently held the position of #1 RE/MAX team in Riverside County for both transactions and sales volume EVERY YEAR since 2008 under the REMAX brand.

Chris's path into real estate wasn't typical. Before entering the industry, he was a world-class martial artist, running a school that won three national championships. That same discipline, competitive mindset, and consistency now define how he approaches real estate.

He later trained with The Mike Ferry Organization, where he developed the foundation for prospecting, negotiation, and market strategy that still drives his business today.

After relocating to the Inland Empire in the early 2000s, Chris built his business from the ground up-first in Perris, then establishing long-term roots in Hemet and San Jacinto. Alongside his wife and business partner, Andrea Murray, he has spent decades helping sellers navigate every type of market, from traditional equity sales to distressed properties, REO, and investor transactions.

Chris is known for three things that matter most to sellers:

• Pricing strategy that actually works in today's market
  
• High-level negotiation that protects and maximizes net proceeds
  
• Impeccable communucation, keeping his sellers informed at all times

His approach is straightforward, data-driven, and built on experience-not guesswork.

Outside of real estate, Chris is a lifelong sports fan and enjoys traveling, but his reputation has been built on one thing above everything else-consistent performance over time in the markets he knows best.
