Real estate has been a lifelong interest of Christopher's since his first land investment at the age of 15. Over the years since, he designed and built homes while investing in real estate in four states, including here in Sarasota, Florida. His consulting firm, specializing in leadership and sales, worked with hundreds of real estate professionals in the new home sales and marketing industry throughout California, Washington, Arizona, New York City and Atlanta. Originally from the Northeast, Christopher, like so many others, discovered Sarasota on a winter getaway from Maine 25 years ago. Within six months he moved to this special place. In subsequent years, business travels and life events placed him in various locations from Atlanta to San Diego. Nonetheless, the allure of Sarasota made it his preferred yearly destination; now it's home once again. Christopher has created a reputation for insightful, effective communication. Whether successfully negotiating multimillion-dollar corporate contracts, reorganizing interdisciplinary teams in business or simply enabling two parties to communicate more thoughtfully, he is dedicated to producing positive results for every customer he serves. Over the years, Christopher has been privileged with a network of connections from across the United States to Germany, India and the U.K. These connections provide a wealth of opportunity for home sellers and buyers in our Florida Gulf Coast region, given its international draw. Christopher has enjoyed many years working with charitable endeavors, including as a board member and partner at SVP International (philanthropic network focused on solving communities' social challenges) and a member of Gen Next (organization driving generational progress in education, economic growth and global security). In his spare time, he looks forward to more travel, sharing time with family and friends, excellent wine and engaging conversation.

When my husband and I decided to move to Sarasota, FL, from California over a year ago, we wanted to find a realtor that had great business acumen and commercial savvy. We wanted to find someone who understood market trends from an investment point of view (both new homes and existing homes), and one that would give sound advice when needed without considering their own personal agenda. We both are working/traveling professionals with limited time and availability and needed a realtor that would do a lot of the heavy lifting for us. Christopher Bush and Angie Walters have these traits and so much more. In such a fast-paced real estate market where homes often sell overnight with cash offers, we were handicapped by the fact that we were constantly on the road and lived in another state. Regardless, Chris and Angie were quick to send listings our way that met the criteria that we provided as soon as the listings hit the market, made themselves available to view the home as soon as the sellers would allow, and would give sound advice whenever needed. During our year-long search, we were under contract 3 times. We ended up backing out of 2 after our inspection reports came in and closed on the third. Chris and Angie’s professionalism, patience, and unwavering support during the process was exceptional and we cannot be happier in our new home. Saying we would recommend Chris and Angie is an understatement. They are amazing people and I cannot imagine having anyone else by our side during any and all real estate transactions.
