With over 15 years leading global marketing, sales, and education initiatives for iconic brands such as Tom Ford Beauty, Clinique, and M·A·C Cosmetics—and a decade as a professional musical theatre actor (plus a healthy dash of experience as an NYC restaurant server!)—Chris brings a uniquely well-rounded perspective to real estate. Across every chapter of his career, one constant has remained: a commitment to understanding people’s needs, anticipating their desires, and delivering experiences that exceed expectations.

Today, Chris channels that passion and expertise into helping buyers find not just a house, but the right home to fit their lives and dreams. Whether aligning your needs while combing through inventory, crafting smart offer strategies, negotiating on their behalf, or setting the perfect stage during a home tour, he approaches each step of the process with creativity and a deep commitment to client satisfaction.

Hospitality taught him the importance of service and speed; theater instilled the power of presentation and a deep understanding of human motivation; and his background in marketing and sales honed his focus on strategy and results.

Now, as a Buyer Specialist with New Jersey’s #1 Sue Adler Team, Chris brings these strengths together to guide clients with insight, empathy, and a touch of humor and theater—making the process seamless, strategic, and even enjoyable.

Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Chris moved to New York City to attend New York University and lived there for over 15 years before settling in Maplewood, NJ, with his husband and their two pups, where they proudly call home.

Chris's Client Reviews

We loved working with Chris!

We loved working with Chris! He was patient with my first time buyer obsessive questions, quick to respond and super supportive as we navigated a fast paced market over the summer. He was familiar with the area, a local resident himself, which helped us understand the nuances to the market of our area. He laid out the entire experience during our intro call which helped us mentally prep for costs, timelines and additional steps we’d need to be aware of. Overall great experience!Read Less

Chris made everything feel much more manageable!

We had such a great experience working with Chris and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He was knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. From helping us navigate the search and offer process to inspections, negotiations, and closing, Chris was always available to answer questions and made everything feel much more manageable. We really appreciated that he was never pushy and always gave us thoughtful, honest advice while keeping our priorities in mind. Buying a home can be stressful, but we always felt like we had someone in our corner looking out for us. We’re so happy with our new home and very grateful to Chris for helping us get there!!Read Less

Christopher is personable and kind, and he treated us like more than just another client!

My husband and I bought our first home this year, and we can’t say enough good things about Christopher. From the first day we met him through closing day, he was professional, reliable, and a true advocate for us. As first-time home buyers in a very competitive market, we were nervous about what lay ahead. Christopher put us at ease from the start. His calm, confident guidance gave us the reassurance we needed, even when things moved quickly. Christopher’s integrity stood out throughout the entire process. He was always honest with us, and he shared a wealth of knowledge about every property we toured, pointing out strengths, potential concerns, and things we might not have thought to ask about. He also took the time to understand what our family needed to feel comfortable in our new space, and he kept that in mind with every home we saw. When it came time to make offers, Christopher gave us realistic advice on what it would take to win our dream home without losing sight of our budget. He was incredibly responsive, and when we had to submit best and final offers within very tight timeframes, he handled everything accurately and efficiently. We never had to worry that something would slip through the cracks. Buying a home in New Jersey can be a challenging process, and having the right realtor makes all the difference. Christopher is not only highly professional, he is also personable and kind, and he treated us like more than just another client. We are so grateful to have worked with him, and we would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, Christopher, for helping us find our home!Read Less
