Now with more than 180 full time sales associates, those offices gross more than $650 million in annual sales volume and exceed 2,000 sales units annually.

Christopher has consistently devoted his time and expertise to the NCCBOR and the Delaware Association of Realtors, serving on the Board of Directors for the Delaware Association of Realtors, on the Executive Committee, Nominating Committee, Forms Committee and the Strategic Planning Committee.
