The desire and passion to bring a quality service to the consumer brought Chris to Great Choice Realty. After selling his personal real estate through the company before he became a licensed agent it was extremely logical to go work for a company that he believed in. He felt that traditional real estate companies offered an inferior product and did not believe in the standard model that no longer applies to these changing economic times.
He was raised in the Chagrin Valley area and has an extremely good understanding of all the benefits that the area has to offer. After high school he headed out West to the University of Colorado at Boulder where he graduated with a degree in Journalism. Once college was completed he travelled the world for some time and ended up living in California. His roots and the lower cost of living brought him home five yrs ago so he could focus on real estate. After a successful real estate investment business it only made sense to become a licensed agent. His ability to deal with people, his tireless work ethic and his overall integrity translate to customer satisfaction. His passions range from skiing, sports, cooking, his family and friends and his beloved desire to see as much of the world as possible. He would love the opportunity to talk to you about whatever your real estate needs may be.
