Christopher Morales brings his intellect, salesmanship, and Chinese and Spanish language skills to the ever-expanding business of Andrew Anderson and Bruce Ehrmann's top broker team, ranked #6 Douglas Elliman team in New York City and #41 of all residential real estate brokers in the U.S. by The Wall Street Journal.
Christopher works with his client network, which spans New York, California, and China, and has sold and rented properties at all price points across Manhattan and Brooklyn. He is licensed in both New York and California.
Christopher has worked as a new development sales and marketing agent for the record-breaking $250 million sellout of The Sterling Mason, at 71 Laight Street in Tribeca; the 242 Broome Street Condominiums at the seminal 1.9 million-square-foot Essex Crossing development in the Lower East Side; and the Quay Tower Brooklyn Heights at Brooklyn Bridge Park, whose penthouse sale of $22.75 million is the highest in Brooklyn. Christopher has also led development marketing and sales for the green- and smart technology-oriented Williamsburg condominium development UnionBK, at 305 Union Avenue.
In addition to his hundreds of resale and new development transactions, Christopher has a very robust rental business. Along with frequent condominium and co-operative rentals for individual owners and investors, he leads the annual leasing for three prominent New York landlords, with a portfolio of nearly 60 units averaging $10,000/month.
Christopher also loves working with buyers and renters and is beloved by his clients for making the process both seamlessly successful and a lot of fun. He and one of his buyer clients were featured on a rare New York City-based “House Hunters” episode on HGTV for their purchase of an apartment in NoMad.
Christopher has sold and rented properties in virtually every neighborhood in Manhattan and Brooklyn, including Tribeca, SoHo, Greenwich Village and both the West and East Villages, NoHo, Chelsea, the Flatiron District and NoMad, the Lower East Side and Chinatown, Gramercy Park, Murray Hill, Clinton and Hell's Kitchen, Sutton Place, the Upper West Side, the Upper East Side, Brooklyn Heights, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Clinton Hill, Prospect and Crown Heights, Bushwick, Boerum Hill, and Bedford-Stuyvesant. He has also sold in Garden City, Long Island.
A Chelsea homeowner for seven years and previously a resident of Chinatown and the Lower East Side, Christopher is originally from San Francisco, California. He moved to New York to attend Columbia University, where he studied Chinese and earned a degree with honors in East Asian Languages and Cultures. As a Columbia student, he studied abroad and led a research project on housing and demographic change in Beijing. He returned to China in 2010 to work at the USA National Pavilion at the green urbanism-themed Shanghai World Expo, attended by 70 million people.
Christopher's passion for New York real estate has grown out of his deep knowledge of the city's history and architecture, as well as from his experience in foreign cities experiencing dramatic global change and exchange. Outside of real estate, Christopher is very active in the arts and is a member of both the Young New Yorkers of the New York Philharmonic and the Young Leaders Council of the Joyce Theatre. He is also a committee member of the Village Preservation organization (formerly named the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation).
Combining his passion, innovation, and experience with the timeless professionalism of two of New York's most respected brokers, Christopher has set out to lead a new generation of real estate brokerage—one borne of international, digital, and green thinking.
