Chris Sands is the founder and CEO of Sands Investment Group. As CEO, Chris sets SIG’s vision and strategic direction as a top commercial real estate advisory firm with a strong emphasis on developing people and fostering their success.
When Chris founded SIG in 2009, his vision was clear: to create an honest brokerage with world-class service. What began as a one-person operation has since grown into a national powerhouse with a track record of thousands of transactions and more than $10 billion in total volume. The team has earned accolades, including CoStar’s top broker and top firm, and was named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies four consecutive times — all while staying true to SIG’s core values.
Under Chris’s leadership, SIG’s specialized teams provide industry-leading expertise and personalized guidance, with an unwavering commitment to integrity. Throughout his career, Chris has mentored more than 200 brokers, valuing their professional excellence as much as their personal growth. For Chris, the heartbeat of the company is SIGives, its pioneering corporate giving program, and a cornerstone of SIG’s culture and legacy.
A former captain of the UCLA tennis team, Chris competed as a professional tennis player, facing legends like Pete Sampras and Brad Gilbert on the pro tour. A chance conversation while teaching tennis lessons introduced him to the world of real estate, where he quickly became a top-ranked broker at Marcus & Millichap, earning Rookie of the Year honors.
Chris is an active member of the Young Presidents’ Organization, TIGER 21, and other prominent real estate organizations, including the International Council of Shopping Centers, NAIOP, and the Urban Land Institute.
Chris and his wife, Liz, met at UCLA, and share a love of travel and outdoor adventures with their three children. They reside in Charleston, South Carolina.
