A little bit about me...
Christopher brings over a decade of experience in real estate, including eight years as a Managing Broker. He specializes in both the suburbs of Chicago and the growing markets of Southwest Florida, covering areas from Port Charlotte to Lakeland, including Sarasota, Manatee, Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties.
Christopher’s approach is client-focused, detail-oriented, and driven by a genuine passion for real estate. With more than $20 million in sales, 10 years of investment real estate experience, and a proven track record of managing over 500 rental units, he has built a reputation for excellence, professionalism, and results.
He holds several advanced industry certifications, including:
• ABR® – Accredited Buyer’s Representative
• RENE – Real Estate Negotiation Expert
• SRS – Seller Representative Specialist
• ACP – Accredited Commercial Practitioner
Clients appreciate Christopher’s in-depth market knowledge, strong communication skills, and ability to make the process smooth and successful from start to finish.
Originally from Melrose Park, Christopher lived in Lemont from 2010 to 2025 and now resides in Bradenton, Florida with his wife of 17 years, their 14-year-old daughter, and two dogs. In his free time, he enjoys spending time outdoors with his family, especially by the beach or pool. He is also a lifelong fan of Chicago sports, particularly the Cubs and Bears.
Christopher’s journey is as inspiring as it is impressive—raised by his grandparents, he earned his GED, played college baseball, and went on to receive his associate degree from Triton College, a bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida, and a master’s degree from St. Thomas University.
He lives by the quote: “The only way to do great work is to love what you do,” and it shows in the way he serves his clients and leads in this industry.
Reviews
“Phenomenal group of realtors! Very professional and easy to work with from the first phone call to needs after the sale. Always available and had time for anything we needed, even the smallest questions we had. We never had to plan anything ahead or anticipate anything as they were always one step ahead of our needs. A very well oiled machine, had us offers within a day and sold in under a week. Highly recommended!!”
“Very good experience! 1st place looked at I now own ❤️ Collen is GREAT!”
“Choosing and working with Kim Neill has been a very positive experience. I’ve never sold a home before and Kim guided me every step of the way. The process was seamless and I’m very pleased with the outcome! Thanks and God bless you Kim. 😊”
