I have been selling Real Estate in the Vancouver, WA/Portland, OR metro area since 2001.  I have consistently produced gross sales in the multi-millions since I began my career.  I am also a home builder/remodeler/investor and an avid fan of architecture & design.  I have a very straight forward approach with all clients whether listing their home or representing them on a purchase.  I specialize in Residential Sales, Investment Property, Short Sales & Upper End listings.  Primarily I focus on the representation of sellers, listing homes and property, providing successful marketing packages that fit todays marketplace.  Every home/property is unique and requires an appropriate marketing strategy specifically designed to play to it's strengths.  Now more than ever an experienced Realtor is necessary for a positive & successful Real Estate experience.

I am a proud husband & father of one.  I've been a life long musician and for the past 12 yrs. have been in the band Element57.  April of 2008 brought the release of our 4th album!  www.myspace.com/element57

     I primarily sell property in Clark County Washington including, Vancouver, Camas, Washougal, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, La Center & Woodland. I deal with Real Estate all over the board. I love working with first time home buyers as well as seasoned individuals who've invested in Real Estate for years. Below are some breakdowns of my experience.

Short Sales: I've worked on short sales for the past 7 yrs. I would consider myself one of the best in the area in dealing with bank negotiations and helping sellers avoid foreclosure at all costs. Handing the fate of your home to someone who is inexperienced in pre-foreclosure sales or short sales is a grave mistake. Experience is everything. Along with aiding sellers get out from under their homes I have been able to build relationships with investors who turn to me for fantastic deals on properties consistently way under market value.

New Construction/Subdivisions: With my experience in home building/remodeling I have a lot to offer in terms of what the market calls for in new construction & the needs and wants of buyers. I am on the cutting edge of design & building trends.

Listing & Marketing Homes: These days it is imperative to enlist a Realtor who is creative, tenacious and results oriented to represent you in the sale of your home or property. The market is ever changing and you need someone who is looking ahead not to the past for marketing techniques and strategies. I pride myself on my utilization of today's internet technology & networking to sell homes in below avg. timelines. If you're ahead of the curve you'll save money every time.

Buyers Representation: Market savvy Realtor seeks buyers that want to save thousands! Both with my experience and vast knowledge of REO's and investments property, I am typically able to provide most buyers with homes/property drastically under market value. From Fixer uppers to Million Dollar Estates it's a buyer's market and I want to help take advantage of it.

"I've bought and sold Real Estate through Chris for the past 5 yrs.  His level of professionalism and expertise are unmatched.  I can't tell you the amount of money I've made through him on investments.  He brings knowledge, experience and a great sense of humor to what can be an extremely stressful business.  I will continue to run all my Real Estate needs through him in the future.  A 10/10."

"I am a 1st time buyer and was scared out of mind at the idea of owning my own home.  Chris put me at ease.  He had all the answers and got us a great deal on the house.  I truly appreciated his customer service and attention to detail."

"I don't usually like Realtors but Chris' attitude and knowledge won me over.  He has convinced me over ther years that using a knowledgable Realtor will save you money every time.  He's come through in the clutch for me and is one of the most selfless people I've met.  I would recommend him to anyone serious about buying or selling."
