Background & Experience

Kris has over twenty years of commercial real estate experience, with a particular emphasis in investment property types, primarily the sale of manufactured housing communities (aka mobile home parks). With MHC transactions dating back to 2008, Kris has harvested information for hundreds of active buyers for this property type and utilized that information to handle MHC transactions in several states throughout the Midwest. Kris’ experience with this property type throughout the region gives him a particular advantage in helping clients to price their property and position in the marketplace for a timely transaction.
