About Chris Suarez

He began working in real estate in high school as an assistant to a top-producing agent and was licensed soon after graduating from the University of California, Berkeley. He has worked in all areas of real estate, including residential estates, residential income, and both commercial and residential development projects.

He has received several awards from the communities that benefitted from his redevelopment and restoration projects.
