Chris came to Kozak team with over 25 years of residential real estate and mortgage experience.  Four key traits that have supported his success are careful listening, his commitment to excellent service and his skill as a negotiator and facilitator.

He selected Alain Pinel Realtors and the Kozak team as his business home because of the great reputation they have earned for integrity, innovation and producing great results for their clients.  Chris will focus on serving clients in the Oakland/Berkeley, Lamorinda and Walnut Creek markets.

 Holding a broker’s license since 1989, Chris has a great depth of experience with real estate contracts, negotiation and marketing.  Other professional certifications include a Certified Relocation Professional, CRP and M.A.G.I.C. Customer Service Trainer.

Chris arrived in the Bay Area in 1980 relocating after seven years in Chicago.   Raised in rural Ohio he had the good fortune of witnessing the traditional Midwestern values of hard work, community first, integrity, and service; these continue to be part of his core values.  Experiencing nature’s rhythm for weather and vegetation are great memories he has of his time in the Midwest. 

 Good fortune expanded upon arriving in the Bay Area where he discovered a new career in real estate, as well as the daily gift of those ‘only-in-Northern California’ vistas of the Bay, Mt. Diablo, The Delta,  Big Sur, Napa, Tahoe, Yosemite, Telegraph Hill, Golden Gate Park  and much, much more.  

You will make a wise decision in selecting a seasoned market expert who listens to your needs, drives for results and has a great organization supporting him.
