Chris Diaz is a Southern California native and was raised in Yorba Linda, CA. After attending college at UC San Diego, Chris was offered a job working as an assistant to a well-respected mortgage broker, in 1997. Problem solving and strategic planning were part of his every day training. Shortly after venturing out on his own, in 1999, Chris was offered a job, back in Orange County, with an up-and-coming mortgage company, owned by H&R Block. After two years, Chris was managing the highest producing sales team in the company’s history. After four years, he was running the highest producing district in the company’s history.
When the mortgage crisis happened, Chris decided to put his knowledge of the real estate industry to work, and started Charis Financial, Inc. Charis Financial has always been about helping people. In fact, the word “charis” means grace or love, in Ancient Greek. Chris has always felt a need to use his gifts for the benefit of those around him, so it’s no surprise that he wants his company to reflect the same values.
After the mortgage meltdown in 2008, short sales became an uncharted entity, for which many people needed guidance. Chris accepted the challenge even though he knew that there was no written formula for short sale negotiations. Despite this, he was able to develop effective strategies with people who were looking for honest advice and a clear path to recovery. Within three years of starting Charis, Chris and his team, were advising and negotiating a pipeline of almost 200 short sales. The same strategic approach by which he and his team closed over 1000 short sales, is provided to anyone wishing to buy or sell their home. The results are what matter!!!
When he’s not working, Chris spends his time with his wife, Holly, and their 3 kids. You’ll see him at one of his girl’s dance/cheer competitions, coaching his son’s football or baseball team, walking his two dogs with his wife, or at church on Sundays. His favorite place to take the family is Hood River, Oregon where they can snowboard in the winter or windsurf in the summer.
Call him direct with no obligation. He is ready to go to work for you!
