Meet Chris

Chris Ford is an East Bay native and real estate professional with a background spanning luxury residential sales, commercial real estate investment, and private equity. Over the past decade, he has built a reputation for combining institutional investment discipline with a relationship-driven approach to advising clients and partners.

Chris began his real estate career at just 18 years old, selling approximately $10 million in residential homes while attending the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley, where he later earned his Broker’s License. After graduating, he transitioned into commercial real estate investment management with Mosser Capital, a leading Bay Area real estate private equity firm and one of the region’s largest multifamily owners. During his time there, Chris gained experience across more than $340 million in commercial real estate investments.

In 2021, Chris left institutional finance to pursue entrepreneurial ventures focused on luxury real estate and strategic real estate investments. Today he advises homeowners, buyers, and investors throughout the Bay Area while also partnering with best-in-class operators across the country in multifamily, mobile home parks, RV parks, and self-storage.

Outside of his professional work, Chris is passionate about faith-driven leadership and building strong communities. He serves as a partner with Redemptive Real Estate, an organization focused on integrating faith and stewardship into real estate ventures, and as a partner in the Bay Area chapter of The Barnabas Group, which connects marketplace leaders with ministries to expand their impact. Chris is also the founder of the Bay Area chapter of Holy Smokes Club, a rapidly growing community that brings Christian men together for fellowship and spiritual growth, and he is an active member of the San Francisco chapter of the New Canaan Society.

When he’s not working, Chris enjoys endurance athletics (finishing Ironman Santa Rosa in 2019), golf, world travel, reading, pairing aged whisky with Cuban cigars, and spending time with his family.

Chris believes business is one of the most powerful platforms for impact and that success is most meaningful when it serves something greater than oneself.

“Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.” - Anthony Robbins

FAMILY | FAITH | BUSINESS | IMPACT

Everything I do - personally and professionally - is grounded in four core values: Family, Faith, Business, and Impact.

Whether I’m spending Sundays with family, traveling with close friends, pursuing meaningful real estate opportunities, or building homes for families in need, I’m intentional about designing a life that reflects what matters most.

For me, success isn’t just measured by results - it’s defined by how those results are achieved and who they benefit along the way.

My family is my foundation. My faith is my compass. My business creates opportunity. And impact gives it all purpose.

If you’re driven to build a life that truly matters, you’re in the right place.

  • "Chris Ford was exceptional to work with throughout our purchase of an iconic estate in Lafayette on over 7 flat acres. This was not a simple transaction - we were up against multiple competitive offers and had a very tight closing timeline - but Chris navigated every step with confidence, creativity, and professionalism. What really stood out was his ability to solve problems under pressure. We ran into significant insurance challenges that could have easily derailed the deal, but Chris quickly leveraged his network and introduced us to the right insurance broker, which ultimately made the difference in getting the transaction across the finish line. Thanks to Chris, we were able to beat out two higher offers by structuring stronger terms, and secure the property at a price we feel very good about. His strategic mindset, responsiveness, and deep understanding of the market were invaluable. If you’re looking for someone who can not only find opportunities but also execute at a high level when it matters most, I would highly recommend Chris."

Chris's professionalism, integrity, and personalized approach to client service truly made our home buying experience memorable and enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with our new home, and we have Chris to thank for making it all possible.
