Legacy Land & Realty Group
A native of Eastern North Carolina, Chris began her real estate journey in land sales at just 19 years old, as a freshman in college. What began as an opportunity at a young age quickly became a passion for land, people, and the stories that make each property unique.
Over the years, Chris has had the privilege of discovering some of the most beautiful properties across the country, with experiences spanning North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, and West Virginia. Starting her career in land at such a young age gave her a unique perspective on the land-buying process and allowed her to develop a deep understanding of what it takes to help people find a property that truly feels like home.
Today, Chris brings that experience, knowledge, and genuine love for the land to every client she serves. She understands that buying land is about far more than a transaction—it is about finding a place where memories are made, families grow, and dreams take root.
For Chris, this work is deeply personal. Her greatest motivation is her family and the legacy she hopes to leave for her two beautiful daughters. She believes in working hard, serving others well, and building something meaningful that can be passed down for generations.
