Chris guided me through the sale process of my home masterfully and aided me in getting more than I thought would be possible. I highly recommend Chris.
- Client from Bear, DE
Chris was awesome. He told us exactly what we needed to do to the house to get it ready to list and got us a higher than expected offer in 6 days!! Couldn't be happier with the smooth, quick sale.
- Client from Newark, DE
Chris did a great job marketing and selling our property. During most of the process we were either out of the state or the country. Chris kept us informed through out. We would not hesitate to recommend Chris to family and friends.

Chris was raised in Landenberg, PA and attended Kennett High School where he played varsity basketball and baseball. He graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Political Science, volunteered with the United Way, and spent a semester abroad in Liverpool, England.
The five years after college were spent in Los Angeles working in film and tv production. He assisted, then managed, production crews of fourteen to eighty people. He was responsible for budgeting, scheduling, and coordinating with the department leaders to ensure the production ran on time and on budget. He worked on many shows/movies: "Inception", "Desperate Housewives", "24", "CSI-Miami", "Californication", "Dexter", and Independent Feature Films.
Moving back to the area was a conscious choice to prioritize family. Chris has a close knit extended family that all live in the Philadelphia area. Chris married his long-time girlfriend, Tai, in 2015 in Princeton, NJ. They went on a honeymoon "around the world" and it is an experience they will never forget. They purchased a home together and renovated it. Since then, they had a baby boy who is now 5 years old and still the most amazing person in the world.
In addition to real estate, Chris has a passion for basketball and plays pick up basketball several times a week.. He enjoys traveling, especially "adventure traveling", hiking, and camping. He lives in Newark, DE.

Alexis is the best realtor I could have asked for! She helped me purchase my first home, and she made the process as stress-free as possible. Alexis is knowledgeable, professional, and personable. She took my lead with the pace and frequency of searching for the perfect home- and I did! I recommend Alexis to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
- Client from Wilmington, DE
We started working with Alexis after trying 3 other agents. What made us stay with Alexis was how responsive she was. It didn’t seem to matter what we requested she always tried to make it happen. She did marathon house showings over two different states often in the same day. She was quick to answer any questions we had and to research property information for us. I think we were horribly pick buyers and yet she never made us feel bad and genuinely looked out for our best interest over her own. Thank you Alexis, I don’t think we would be house owners if it weren’t for you! Needless to say, we highly recommend her!
