About me

Real estate has always been a passion of mine.

As a homeowner, investor, and real estate agent, I am able to draw on my personal experiences and expertise to provide my clients with the knowledge they can trust.

Before making real estate my full-time career, I served in the City of Palo Alto for 18 years, first in law enforcement and then in city management. Unlike many other agents who specialize in Palo Alto

As a homeowner, investor, and real estate agent, I am able to draw on my personal experiences and expertise to provide my clients with the knowledge they can trust.

Before making real estate my full-time career, I served in the City of Palo Alto for 18 years, first in law enforcement and then in city management. Unlike many other agents who specialize in Palo Alto and the surrounding areas, I have unique insight into the region’s geography and the less-visible inner workings of municipal governments, including their agencies and committees, such as planning redevelopment and matters concerning the environment. When coupled with my extensive list of personal contacts, that knowledge can prove to be invaluable to homebuyers, investors, and developers looking to purchase property on the Peninsula and the surrounding communities.

Whether you’re a buyer, a seller, an investor, or a developer, rest assured that I will share my experience and insight with you, I will work hard to negotiate the best deal possible, and will provide you with unparalleled customer service throughout each step of your real estate transaction with professionalism, honesty, and integrity.

Chris is a native of the Bay Area and has lived on the Peninsula almost his entire life.

What My Clients Say

"I had the opportunity to work with Chris on the sale of our newly remodeled condominium in Menlo Park. He came highly recommended by a past client who made the comment, “Chris took care of everything, even when issues came up that could have derailed the sale.” Because the sale was connected with the settling of an estate, I needed someone who would just get the job done and he did exactly that. We received a full price all cash offer and a 14-day close within 10 days of listing. He kept me informed every step of the way and we closed without a hitch. I was impressed with Chris’s knowledge, honesty and integrity and give him the highest recommendation."

"Chris represented us on the sale of our property in Palo Alto. Chris was extremely professional every step of the way. The experience that Chris brings to the table, regarding all aspects of selling a home, set our minds at ease during each step of the process. From the beginning of the staging process to the signing of the last signature on the closing documents, it could not have been orchestrated better by anyone that I know in this industry. I would recommend Chris to any friend looking to buy or sell property in this area."

"It was a great pleasure working with Chris. Chris is very patient, has excellent eye for detail and listens very carefully. He will ultimately find and get you the exact property you want. We would work with Chris again!"

"My wife and I purchased our first home through Chris and were very satisfied with the high level of service that's rare in the real estate industry. There is a great deal of information to factors to consider when purchasing your first home and Chris simply made the process smooth and comfortable. Throughout the entire process of location, pro and cons of different style homes, Chris was able to leverage his wealth of experience in both his real estate and law enforcement backgrounds. Even though we saw many different properties and was unsure at times, Chris was very patient, transparent, accomodating and honest through this process. Chris continued to deliver great service even after we had moved into our new home to ensure our full satisfaction. Chris and his team has a winning formula of experience, reliability and a well known finance firm to help give you every edge possible when you are ready to pull the trigger. I would not hesitate in recommending Chris as your next real estate agent!"

"Chris represented us in the sale of our Palo Alto home and he did a terrific job. Our house was a significant component of our retirement planning, and we had consulted with Chris for a number of years as to how to maximize its value on sale. When the time came to sell he managed the entire process, including the preparation and staging of the house - we really had very little to do. In the end, we got an outstanding result… - Ivan H. As first time buyers, we started house hunting without an agent believing we could go it alone. Half-way through the bidding process and confronting our inexperience, we turned to Chris for help and guidance. From the moment we engaged him, Chris was the calming voice of reason we needed. He made sure we stayed on budget, negotiated a good deal in a competitive situation, and closed without complications or delays… - Mark B. & Jill L. My husband and I were nervous about navigating the real estate market to buy our first home together. Chris was amazing in guiding us through this journey, including several showings to educate us about the market, timely email responses, always taking our calls, and never making us feel any pressure at all. Even after we closed on our dream home Chris was checking in and available to help with little questions that first-time homeowners run into…"

"We worked with Chris to buy our first home in a very competitive setting in Mountain View. He spent many weeks preparing and taking us out on long guided tours of each area we were considering buying our home. It was a roller coaster of a ride, but Chris was available at all hours of the day and night to help us with our bids. He even went above and beyond to fix some house issues that were not disclosed by the seller…"

"My wife and I recently bought our first home with Chris and we couldn't be happier. Trying to buy your first home is intimidating enough let alone having to do it in one of the craziest real estate markets in the country. Chris is tremendously knowledgeable about the many locations along the Peninsula, and helped us explore which one was the right one for us…"
