Those years cover every kind of market Central Florida has had. Kris was selling before the 2008 crash; his Zillow reviews from 2011 to 2013 are full of short sales and bank-owned homes, including one short sale that took five years to close; and he kept working through the recovery, the 2020-2022 run-up, and the slower, higher-rate market of 2023 to today. An agent who has priced, negotiated and closed in all of those conditions is hard to rattle.
Over those years his clients have included first-time buyers, families selling a parent's home, owners who needed a short sale, buyers of bank-owned homes, and people selling from another state or moving here from another state or country.
Before real estate, Kris spent about 20 years in sales management, retail distribution and marketing. He was born in Guyana and moved to the United States in 2003.

Family
Family
A longtime client once summed Kris up as a family man. His other clients seem to agree.
One word keeps coming back in his Zillow reviews: family. Clients write that he treated them like family, and a few go further and call him their family realtor.

That care often reaches his clients' own families. Several reviews come from sons and daughters selling a parent's home. One seller, who was out of the country at the time, wrote that Kris checked on her 84-year-old mother during Hurricane Matthew.
Families also come back to him. One review comes from a client whose daughter later bought a home with Kris too. Another buyer was sent to him by a sister who had used him first.
What clients notice
Faith and Character
Clients describe Kris by his character as much as by his results: honest, patient and true to his word.

Faith is at the center of Kris's life. It shows in how he works: telling people the truth about their home, staying patient when a sale gets hard, and doing what he said he would do.

Music
Music and Singing
Kris plays guitar and piano, and he loves to sing with family and friends.
For Kris, music is something you do together. Think songs around a campfire, or a sing-along in someone's living room after dinner. There is no stage and no set list, just people who like to sing.
It is a personal hobby, shared with the people close to him. Get to know Kris and you may hear him play.
A good round
Golf
Golf is a big part of Kris's life away from real estate.
Most weekends he is out on a course somewhere in the Clermont area.
Clermont is a good place for it. The town sits in some of the hilliest country in Florida, and the area around it has several golf courses and golf communities.
Golf has been good for business too. A good share of Kris's clients are people he first met on the course.
