About Kris
Real estate is my second act. Value has been my whole career.
Investor. Heritage-home restorer. Former dealership owner. Father of three. I help people see what a home is really worth — and what it can become.

Before real estate, my world was investments, portfolio management, finance and business ownership. I spent two decades in the automotive industry — working my way from the sales floor to owning and operating a successful Kia dealership — and was involved in hundreds of millions of dollars in sales along the way.
That career taught me two things that never left me: how to negotiate a high-value transaction with a steady hand, and how to look past what something costs to what it's actually worth. My real estate career is young; my experience negotiating for people is not.
When my family and I took on the restoration of our 1911 Samuel Maclure heritage home, it stopped being a project and became a passion. Every room asked the same question: what was this house meant to be — and how do we get it there? The restoration was later featured in Boulevard Magazine, and I'm now deep into my second heritage project.
Restoring these homes taught me to see property differently. Not just the market value on paper, but the position it holds on its street, the potential buyers can't yet picture, and the craftsmanship worth fighting for. It's why I gravitate to luxury, waterfront and heritage homes — and why I love walking a character house with clients who can almost see it.
I'm a proud father of three, shaped by my Italian and Ukrainian roots — which is to say: family is everything, and nobody leaves my table hungry. When I'm not working, you'll find me at the rink, on the golf course, behind a drum kit with my band, planning the next trip, or in the kitchen with a good bottle of wine and something slow-cooking.
And always, the West Coast. The shoreline walks, the ferry to Tofino, the reason we all put up with the housing market here in the first place. This island is home, and helping people plant their lives on it is the best work I've ever done.
Let's talk about what your home is worth — and what it could become.
