Chris Lizarraga
Chris Lizarraga is a real estate professional with 15 years of experience helping clients navigate residential, luxury, and investment real estate. First licensed in California in 2011, Chris has built his career around a highly personalized approach to real estate, combining strong client advocacy, creative marketing, and an ability to navigate transactions that often require more than a conventional strategy.
Today, Chris is licensed in both California and Tennessee, giving him a unique perspective shaped by two very different real estate markets. His experience ranges from traditional residential sales to luxury properties, historic homes, investment opportunities, and properties with unique commercial, hospitality, or event potential.
Before expanding his real estate career to Tennessee, Chris worked in the competitive Southern California market, including experience supporting luxury real estate operations in Long Beach. His broader professional background in leadership, negotiations, and client relations has further shaped his approach to representing buyers and sellers.
Chris is particularly passionate about properties that require vision. Whether marketing a distinctive estate, identifying opportunities for an investor, helping a buyer find an unconventional property, or developing a strategy for a challenging sale, he approaches each transaction with creativity, persistence, and attention to the client's long-term goals.
Chris brings clients the combination of seasoned real estate experience, strategic thinking, and hands-on representation—with the belief that successful real estate is not simply about closing a transaction, but about finding the right strategy for the people and property involved.
East Tennessee, In Depth
From downtown Knoxville to the farmland around Corryton and Athens and the mountain markets of Sevierville and Pigeon Forge, our team brings local knowledge to every property type we serve.
Knoxville
The heart of East Tennessee, Knoxville pairs a growing downtown with easy access to the Smoky Mountains, making it a strong market for residential homes and investment properties alike.
Athens
A go-to for farm and agricultural land in East Tennessee, Athens offers row crop, pasture, and cattle properties for buyers looking to put down roots outside the city.
Pigeon Forge
Gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains, Pigeon Forge is a market defined by cabins, mountain properties, and vacation-home demand.
Corryton
Just north of Knoxville, Corryton is where our East Tennessee office is based. Rolling acreage, working farms, and country homes within an easy drive of the city make it one of the strongest agricultural markets in Knox County.
Sevierville
The Sevier County seat and a hub for short-term rental investment, Sevierville pairs cabin and vacation-home demand with farmland and commercial development sites along the Smoky Mountain corridor.
Maryville
A Blount County favorite for families and land buyers, Maryville offers established neighborhoods, acreage at the foot of the Smokies, and steady commercial growth along the Knoxville corridor.
