An entrepreneur from an early age, Chris received his real estate salesperson’s license at age 18, in 1977, and embarked on a real estate career before computers and electronic keypads. Upon receiving his BBA in Public Accounting from Pace University, Manhattan in 1981, he spent nine years in Brooklyn owning several retail/service businesses until selling real estate became his primary focus. This led to numerous investment opportunities.

He soon became a new construction expert and represented nearly every community in the 1990s and quickly achieved the ranking of one of the top producing agents in the Region. After achieving success and knowledge working with an independent real estate company, he embarked on starting his own company in 1994 that became one of the leading companies in the area for nearly ten years before finding Keller Williams Realty. He purchased and was awarded the first New York State franchise in 2003, and the market center has become one of the leading offices in the Hudson Valley for the last ten years with nearly 350 realtors working to serve their communities in five different locations. Currently Chris holds licenses in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.

At the end of 2015, he approached the idea of starting a team within the company and the CSA team was born. Here are some professional highlights throughout the years:
