Local Roots. Executive Experience. High Country Heart.

The Professional Edge

Before entering real estate, Chris spent 26 years as the Regional Vice President of Operations for NASCAR. That background in high-stakes operations means he brings a level of discipline, research, and strategic negotiation to every transaction that is rare in the industry. Whether he is analyzing CMAs for a $6M estate or scouting a $5,000 building site, Chris treats every deal with executive-level focus.

A Local’s Perspective

Growing up in Crossnore and now based in Banner Elk, Chris isn't just selling a zip code; he’s selling his home. He specializes in the High Country’s premier gated communities, including:

  • The Lodges at Eagles Nest (Ask him about dinner at Epic Chophouse!)

  • Elk River Club & Linville Ridge

  • Blue Ridge Mountain Club & Echota

  • Linville Land Harbors (For those seeking incredible value and amenities)

The "Golden Rule" Philosophy

For Chris, the most memorable deal wasn't a multi-million dollar mansion—it was a $5,000 land sale that brought his clients to tears of joy. He operates on the belief that everyone is family in the mountains. While he frequently works in the $600k to $6M range, his goal remains the same: ensuring his clients are happy, successful, and treated like friends long after the closing papers are signed.

Beyond the Sale

When he isn't helping buyers find their dream "four-season" retreat or helping investors maximize STR income, you’ll find Chris at Stonewalls, out on the golf course, fishing, or planning his next family cruise.
