His expertise spans all aspects of lease transactions, market analytics, and financial strategy, making him a trusted advisor in the industry.

As a skilled negotiator, Chris is known for his creative problem-solving abilities and out-of-the-box thinking, consistently finding innovative solutions to complex challenges.

As the former Chief Operating Officer of Lee & associates Greenville/Spartanburg, Chris helped lead the organization through strategic growth and operational excellence, applying his leadership skills and business acumen to elevate the company’s success. However, driven by his deep passion for working directly with clients and negotiating deals, he made the decision to transition back into brokerage. This return to his roots allows him to focus on what he enjoys most—helping clients navigate the complexities of commercial real estate and delivering exceptional value in every transaction.
