Chris Dennison Associate Broker

I started my Real Estate career almost 20 years ago in Colorado. After co-owning two RE franchises in the Denver Metro area for the majority of my time there, we decided it was time for a change. We already owned property in Chama, New Mexico, and in 2021 decided to make it our full time home. I found United Country NNMRE and it was an immediate fit! I continue to hold my Colorado RE license and now focus on helping folks with their Real Estate needs in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico.
