Christopher is a Florida Licensed Real Estate Broker (BK3388297) & Florida Licensed Mortgage Loan Originator (NMLS ID: 2228667) specializing in the real estate & lifestyle of the Miami Metropolitan area.  He is a member of both the Miami Association of Realtors and the Realtor Association of Broward, Palm Beach & Port Saint Lucie.  Originally from New York, he has lived in Southeast Florida for over 20 years. He is the father of a 4-year old girl, a husband of over 25 years, an entrepreneur, former IT Architect at IBM, and a concerned citizen who hopes his generation will decide to & succeed in leaving the world to his daughter's generation in better shape than the preceding generation did.   Christopher's Philosophy        "I do not consider myself or to be a "Salesman".  Developers employ salespeople who are going to tell you why their "Chevy Tower" is better than the other salesperson’s "Ford Tower".  I tell my customers:         'We are waiters & concierges to the real estate world, the MLS is the menu, the showings are the tastings, and the contract is the order.   Whether we are the Listing Agent or the Selling Agent, we are the ones who must orchestrate a satisfying transactional experience with the proverbial 'kitchen'; i.e: the Lender(s), the Title Company(s), the Inspector(s), the Lawyer(s), the Landscaper, the Pool Service, the Repairmen, and sometimes any or all of a litany of others.’ Whether you are buying or selling, I understand that:   1).  You already have a vision of what you want and you have a specific set of requirements that must be part of your order.  Similarly, it is also important for customers to also do their part in making sure that I  have as clear a picture of their vision, their dreams, and their goals as possible!  One thing I have never been accused of is for communicating too little and I would rather my customers over-communicate than leave out any details; sometimes very small things turn out to be more pertinent and/or important than you might initially believe them to be.   2).   Buying and/or Selling a Home is ALWAYS a Life-Changing experience, even if you are moving next door it opens a completely new chapter in your life, and it is normal to feel anxiety and stress during the process.  It is my goal to both prevent additional stress, as well as reduce the normal level of stress and anxiety you may already be feeling through my actions as your Realtor & Trusted Advisor."      A Trusted Resource        Whether you are a buyer or seller, Christopher will be the trusted resource that will help you navigate and understand the dynamics of the local real estate markets.  His approach is both customer preference & data-driven, with a bit of gut instinct sprinkled in. With his extensive knowledge and commitment to providing only the best and most timely information to his customers & clients, he is consistently able to ensure the best possible outcomes and achieve the highest levels of customer satisfaction.   Highest Standards       Christopher holds himself to a very high standard because buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction: it is the largest transaction most anyone ever makes in their lives!  It is also a highly regulated industry in which agents consistently exceed the legal and ethical standards of the practice to ensure they always remain in compliance and act in the best interest of our customers. Christopher has been a Realtor® for more than a decade and in that time he has never had a customer complaint filed with DBPR nor has he had any complaints with either of the Realtor Associations he is a member of.   The Right Choice       Choose Christopher as your trusted real estate advisor and he will make sure you feel great about recommending him to your closest family & friends in the future.
