Where I work

Six counties. One local agent who knows the differences.

Tap a county to see the communities, schools and commute picture. Not sure where you fit? That's one of my favorite conversations.

Meet Chris

I've packed up a house nine times. I know what's riding on a move.

I spent 25 years in the Air Force, and my family moved nine times along the way. Some of those moves went smoothly. Some taught me exactly what a good agent should have done differently.

Now I put that to work for Richmond buyers and sellers. Military, civilian, first-timers, downsizers, families relocating from out of state. You get a plan, plain answers and steady follow-through from listing photos to closing day.

“He was able to help us view homes not just from the professional perspective of a realtor, but also from the perspective of a veteran who has lived and breathed the military lifestyle and also from the perspective of a dad who values his family deeply.”

Emily · Bought during an overseas military relocation

Buying a home is never completely straightforward—especially buying a home while navigating an overseas military relocation with a young toddler! But from the moment we interviewed Chris (and decided to hire him as our realtor), there was no doubt in our minds that he would have our backs—and he delivered everything he promised!

First off, it is clear how much Chris genuinely cares about his clients’ best interests. During showings, Chris would point out details that we never would have thought of on our own. He was able to help us view homes not just from the professional perspective of a realtor, but also from the perspective of a veteran who has lived and breathed the military lifestyle and also from the perspective of a dad who values his family deeply. Chris was always able to offer incredible insight whenever we would ask his opinion or recommendation on something, but he also has mastered the art of empowering his clients to make the best decisions for themselves, their finances, and their families. He positively influenced us and instilled friendly confidence in us without ever getting in the way of our own decision-making!

Chris also knows the area like the back of his hand. He would go the extra mile to point out local businesses and resources while we were house hunting and even chose centrally located restaurants for lunch that allowed us to a get a feel for the local flavor in each area we visited. Whenever I would ask about potential remodels or custom finishes to improve a kitchen or a bathroom, Chris would say, “I have a guy for that!” He has a very large network of other professionals he can recommend for projects.

Lastly, Chris is an excellent communicator. There was never a time that we called him and he didn’t pick up immediately, or text back within minutes! On Sunday on Memorial weekend, we saw a listing that we wanted to check out. Chris met us the next day in Williamsburg ON Memorial Day to see it because he knew that the clock was ticking! And sure enough, that ended up being our home and we went under contract the very next day.

If you are looking for a realtor, better call Stahl! Look no further. Thank you Chris for being such a blessing to our family throughout such a major life transition.

EmilyBuyer · Military relocation · Williamsburg

Chris was amazing! We had to move with very short notice and an incredibly tight time frame to another state for my husband's job. So when we came up for 3 days from out of state to look for our new home we had to push to find the one in that 72 hours and he did just that. He kept a positive, kind and respectful disposition the entire 72 hours even though we were all exhausted cramming so many houses in 3 days, but in the end he listened to what we wanted and helped us get exactly that! We love our new home. It has everything we need and he represented us well. He offers excellent guidance throughout the whole process and thoroughly answers any questions you have. His communication is also unmatched. He was awesome! Just a hard working, genuine, kind and easy to get along with human being who really cares to get you what you want and makes it happen. Thanks Chris!

BernadetteBuyer · Out-of-state relocation

Selling a home is never easy—especially when you're trying to coordinate a PCS move overseas—but working with Christopher made the entire process feel manageable, even hopeful. From the moment we connected, he treated us like family. He wasn’t just our realtor—he was a trusted partner, a problem-solver, and a steady guide through every twist and turn.

Christopher truly understood the unique challenges of military life. Whether it was helping us stage our home for showings while juggling pack-outs, answering our endless questions with patience, or calmly navigating last-minute hurdles with buyers, he was there every step of the way. His communication was prompt, his advice was honest, and his commitment never wavered. We always felt like a priority.

What really stood out was how invested he was in our success. He didn't just want to sell our house—he wanted to make sure we were supported and confident through the entire transition. And thanks to his expertise and tireless work, we closed smoothly and with peace of mind before heading off to our next chapter in Japan.

If you’re a military family facing a PCS or just looking for someone who genuinely cares, Christopher is the person you want by your side. We are beyond grateful.

Thank you, Christopher. You were truly a blessing to our family.

AngelaSeller · PCS overseas

We reached out to Chris when we decided to begin looking for a new home, and from the moment he took us on our first tour through finding our home in Yorktown, he has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He truly knocked it out of the park and made what can be a complicated process feel seamless. Chris guided us through every step, from getting pre-approved and working with the builder to ultimately selling our condo. His knowledge, responsiveness, and dedication made the entire experience significantly easier, and we could not have asked for a better person to have by our side throughout the process.

He has truly earned our trust and our business for life. As long as Chris is a realtor, he will be our first call whenever our family needs a realtor in the future. For all your realtor needs, I highly recommend that you “Better Call Stahl”!

Chris Stahl and eXp Realty KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK with walking me and my wife through buying a home in Newport News. From first contact he was great to work with. Some highlights included him being VERY communicative and being a huge advocate for what we needed. He did this in spades when we were having trouble getting the electric service setup in our new home switched to our name. After many, many phone calls from our end to the electric company with no questions answer, Chris dug in (while we were flying in from IL to close on a property) and was able to get the electric situation handled. So, HUGE thanks for him for these effort which really eased a great deal of stress on our end. His problem solving skills truly paid off!

There were no questions left unanswered to include MANY contacts to care of some post-closing & pre-move in items we’d like to have done. He has multiple contacts throughout the Newport News/Hampton areas to handle items such as painting, electrical, irrigation systems and much, much more.

If you’re looking for someone to get you into a home you desire I’d HIGHLY recommend Chris Stahl!! He WILL take good care of you!!
