Licensed agent since 2008 and real estate investor since 2002 — I've built my career on honest advice, local expertise, and a genuine commitment to every client's goals across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
I grew up with a deep appreciation for the value of homeownership and what it means to a family. That passion drove me to begin investing in real estate in 2002 — long before I was ever a licensed agent. I renovated homes, built rental income, and learned the Cincinnati market from the inside out.
In 2008, I earned my real estate license and joined OwnerLand Realty — one of Ohio's most agent-forward brokerages. The fit was natural: OwnerLand's commitment to flexibility and client-first service aligned perfectly with how I'd always operated.
Over 18 years, I've closed 273+ transactions across every price point — from an $18,000 investment property in Cincinnati to a $675,000 family home. Whether I'm helping a first-time buyer navigate the process for the very first time or helping a seasoned investor expand their portfolio, my approach is always the same: honest, thorough, and always in your corner.
Over two decades of experience across every type of real estate transaction — I bring the right knowledge to the right situation.
Guiding buyers and sellers through the full transaction — from market analysis and pricing strategy to negotiation and closing. My first-time buyer clients receive special attention and patient guidance every step of the way.
As an active renovator since 2002, I understand what makes a flip profitable — ARV calculations, contractor relationships, and how to identify diamonds in the rough that others overlook. I help both buyers and sellers in the flip market.
I've personally built and managed rental portfolios, so I advise investment clients from a landlord's perspective — cash flow analysis, cap rates, tenant demand, and neighborhood rent trends across the Cincinnati metro.
Pricing a home correctly from the start is one of the most critical — and often mishandled — parts of selling. I provide honest, data-driven CMAs that set realistic expectations and drive faster, better offers.
With hundreds of transactions behind me, I know how to structure offers that win in competitive situations and how to protect my sellers from common pitfalls. Clean contracts. Smart contingencies. Strong advocacy.
From Hyde Park and OTR to Covington and Bellevue, I have boots-on-the-ground knowledge of what makes each Cincinnati neighborhood tick — schools, appreciation trends, walkability, and investment potential.
Deep local knowledge across the Greater Cincinnati region — Hamilton, Butler, Warren & Clermont counties in Ohio, and Campbell, Kenton & Boone counties in Kentucky.
Every review represents a real client relationship — honest feedback from buyers, sellers, and investors I've had the privilege of serving.
Chris is very knowledgeable about homes in the Greater Cincinnati area. I have worked with him in buying and selling several homes over the past 7 years. Each time he helped us get a great deal. He has the right combination of knowledge and expertise you need in a real estate agent.
Christopher stuck with me and never gave up although I was a picky first time home buyer with vague needs and endless questions. He has the right combination of knowledge, patience, and persistence that is hard to find in any profession.
Chris was great at finding us the right home at the right price. We definitely wanted to find the right home and he helped us accomplish that with his knowledge of the area and the market. Thanks for all your help Chris!
Chris went above and beyond to help us sell our house. His knowledge of the area and local market was excellent. He even helped me with some of the final fixes before listing. We immediately had 2 offers and sold above asking price.
Chris did a great job of showing us prospective houses and meeting us around our schedule. He also helped us with our offer and with closing. He tells you his honest opinion, which is exactly what you need when making such a big decision.
Chris was extremely helpful during the search for my first home. Being that it was my first housing purchase I had many questions, each of which Chris took the time to answer and explain. He made the whole process much less stressful than I expected.
Whether you're buying, selling, or just exploring your options — I'm always happy to talk. No pressure. Just honest advice from someone who knows this market inside and out.
