Chris Brand received a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a minor in business administration in 1997 from the University of Coastal Carolina. A few years later Chris decided to go into real estate as he was passionate both about serving the public and the world of business. After a few years of selling real estate Chris had a vision of doing business his own way without the limitations of corporate bureaucracy. In 2004 he began his own real estate company. In 2007 he brought in a few agents by allowing agents more flexibility in what they could offer to the public. In 2008 he created a first of its kind “100” percent commission plan serving the Charleston, SC Metro area that was not only considered progressive, but very radical at this time. Chris received a great deal of push-back from brokers who felt he was a threat and even some real estate agents who felt what he was he was offering was too good to be true.

With the above said Chris knew for agents to really be competitive in the emerging technological and global based economy so they could be an asset to the public, financial considerations and the proper resources were paramount, and he continued pushing forward.

In April 2016 after selling his first company Agent Group Realty was born which today serves Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Agent Group Realty currently has more than 200 agents though Chris would like to keep growing the brokerage well beyond this number.
