Chris Orza, Realtor

**Charleston Realtor of Distinction Recipient**

After relocating to Mount Pleasant in 2014, Chris immediately became involved in the community. Chris served as the VP of the Dunes West Property Owners Association for several years which afforded him the opportunity to gain extensive knowledge of real estate development, property owners associations, and the rules, regulations, and covenant restrictions within the community. 

Professionally, Chris has a heart for entrepreneurship. Chris and his wife built a successful magazine, Carolina Park West Neighbors, from scratch, selling over $1 Million in advertising sales with it’s monthly publication to over 4,000 homes.

Because of his brilliant networking skills and professional success, Chris was invited to become the Executive Director of Development for Lerato, LLC, in 2019. During his tenure there, Chris garnered almost 200k square feet in potential lease deals for the company. Around the same time, Chris was invited to be a part of Southern Bell Living where he quickly distinguished himself within the top 10% of all of Charleston realtors, winning the coveted Realtor of Distinction award.
