Christopher Morris, CCIM, SVP at Northview Company in Dallas, is the 2026 Chapter President for CCIM North Texas and sits on the Institute's national and foundation boards. At the CCIM Fall Forum in Los Angeles, he sat down with Chris Peterson of WealthBuilder 1031 to talk about what investment sales really covers, how a mentor steered him from accounting and residential into CCIM, landing one of his biggest deals through a connection made at a CCIM forum, and how losing everything with his brother in the early-2000s crash taught him to treat every client's money like his own.
