Your San Antonio partner · eXp Realty

Meet Chris, your partner in San Antonio real estate.

Hi, I'm Chris, your San Antonio real estate partner at eXp Realty. I've spent the last 25+ years involved in real estate as a buyer, investor, and landowner, and now I'm excited to help others navigate their own real estate journey. I own multiple investment properties and several tracts of land across the country, so I understand what it's like to be on the buyer's side, running numbers, evaluating neighborhoods, and making decisions that impact your future. I bring that same care and attention to every client I work with.

Before real estate, I spent years in the corporate world as a Director at Microsoft, leading teams, managing large projects, and building strong relationships. I'm also a Certified Project Manager, which means I keep your transaction organized, on track, and stress-free. On top of that, I'm a Certified Professional Real Estate Inspector in Texas with two decades of construction experience. I know how homes are built, how they should perform, and what issues to look out for, giving my clients an extra layer of protection and confidence.

Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, I'm here to guide you with honesty, transparency, and real-world experience. My goal is to make the process smooth, clear, and even enjoyable. When you're ready, I'm here to help you take the next step.

How I work

Four commitments you can hold me to

Honesty before volume

If a home is overpriced or a deal is weak, you will hear it directly. Good advice often means a smaller commission in the short run and a client for life after.

Street-level local knowledge

Every school boundary, flood zone, HOA quirk, and morning commute in the areas I serve gets checked against reality, not pulled from a website.

Responsive by design

Time is money in real estate. Emails, calls, and texts get answered quickly, and every deadline is tracked down to the hour, not the week.

Client-side always

The job is to represent your interest, not to make a transaction happen. If a deal is wrong for you, the professional answer is to keep looking.

Evenings on the river

The city I get to know and serve

San Antonio is a city people stay in: generations of families, deep roots, and a downtown that keeps getting better. The River Walk glows at dusk, the Pearl hums on weekend mornings, and the Hill Country is a short drive from most neighborhoods. Living here shows up in the advice, because the guidance is drawn from real mornings and evenings across the region, not from a map pulled up in a hurry.
