I’ve been with Lakes Area Realty for nearly three years and I have to say it’s been great learning new things and being around so many different people. At Lakes, I am allowed to be me and express my personality and opinion as I help others, while staying grounded in my own morals and beliefs.

I consider myself a “Jack of all trades” who brings experience, thoroughness, compassion and an inquisitive side to everything I do. I’m lucky I can see things from many different perspectives, which is why I love to solve problems. 

At Lakes Area Realty, I’m in a position where I am fortunate to encounter everyone in the organization on a regular basis. Among a slew of other duties, I am the one in charge of Accounts Payable, which is primarily paying commissions. People love getting paid for their hard work and I love making their day! 

When I’m not at the office, I’m usually with my daughter or friends—unless I’m working out in the weight room or the MMA gym.

When things get challenging, I always tell myself, “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.” Great advice from Finding Nemo.

My goal as a REALTOR is to support you throughout your selling and buying process with ease. I am devoted to being service-oriented in all areas of my life, and I will use this mentality to help you achieve comfort and success in your real estate transactions.

I am a very creative and detail oriented person. I utilize my artistic flair and intuitive sensibilities in every opportunity I encounter. My knowledge of the housing market as well as aesthetics, style and personal tastes can greatly add value to your real estate transaction.

As a REALTOR, I know that my service can be much more than aiding in the process of buying and selling properties. I find many areas where I can apply my natural abilities of mindfully communicating and finding creative solutions. I can also save you a lot of time and money!

I have an intention of making a positive difference in the lives of ALL of the people I meet.

I was born in Minneapolis and have lived in the metro area most of my life. I have owned investment property and a home in Minneapolis since 1997 and I enjoy living very near my new Lakes Area Realty Powderhorn Park branch office at 3500 Bloomington Ave S that I manage. I am also the Co-Director of an Art Gallery at the same location called Modus Locus, where we hold many different kinds of community and art events as well as home buying workshops.

In 2010, I moved to Lakes Area Realty and started the Chris Dennis Group. As the real estate market started to recover in 2011, I transitioned my business back to traditional residential real estate. In 2019 I opened the Lake Minnetonka office for Lakes Area Realty in historic downtown Excelsior on the shores of Lake Minnetonka.

The office has over 25 Realtors and Brokers who love helping our clients with every step of their real estate transactions. We are the top producing team and office in the brokerage with over totaled over $500,000,000 in sales, $200,000,000 of those done personally. I represent clients on traditional residential, residential investment property, and commercial building transactions.

 My responsiveness and vast knowledge of the market is what keeps my clients completely satisfied throughout the entire buying or selling process. I’m proud to be one of Lakes Area Realty’s elite real estate agents.

We are agents that are highly dedicated to our profession. One of the most challenging things about the real estate business is its propensity for change. Keeping up with these changes and adapting our marketing, selling and financing isn't always easy, but it's always
worthwhile. Our job is to be sure that buyers and sellers know that. Because our task is to match buyers to the right house in order to help a seller make their move.
