Meet Chris Hozie | Realtor

We had the good fortune of connecting with Chris Hozie and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chris, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
One thing about the real estate industry that outsiders are probably unaware of is how much of a relationship-based business it truly is—especially in a market like the one we’ve experienced since I started in 2023. As someone still early in my career, I’ve learned that every lead, every client, and every conversation carries a level of risk and uncertainty. Buyers and sellers today are more cautious than ever, and they’re not quick to commit to just any agent. The real challenge—and reward—is in going the extra mile to meet people face-to-face, building trust, and showing through action that I’m someone they can rely on. Each deal is a learning opportunity, and I embrace that growth as part of becoming the best advocate for my clients.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My career in real estate has been driven by a deep commitment to helping clients reach their goals, no matter what it takes. What sets me apart is that I lead with action over words—I believe in showing up, following through, and doing the work that builds trust. I’m especially proud of the relationships I’ve built and the way I’ve been able to guide clients through some of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. I approach each deal with empathy, always striving to create win-win situations and make the process as smooth and informed as possible. The journey hasn’t been easy—breaking into the industry and earning trust as a new agent comes with its share of challenges. But I’ve learned that consistency, patience, and a genuine care for people are what create lasting success. I want the world to know that my brand is rooted in authenticity, hustle, and a people-first mindset. This isn’t just a job for me—it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a career I’m proud to grow in every day.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was in town for the week, we’d definitely make the most of it! I’d kick things off with a chill afternoon at **Townsend Public House**—great food, local brews, and just the right vibe to ease into vacation mode. For the nature lovers (or anyone who just needs to unplug), **Silverwood Lake** is a must—hiking, kayaking, fishing, or just lounging at the beach with snacks and good company.

Mid-week, we’d crank up the energy with some **axe throwing**—yep, it’s a thing, and yes, it’s surprisingly therapeutic. Whether in Apple Valley or Victorville, it’s always a blast. We’d mix in a shopping spree at **Victor Valley Mall**, because what’s a trip without a little retail therapy (and maybe a giant pretzel or two)?

And for me, no perfect week is complete without a good movie night—popcorn, big screen, and zero responsibilities for a couple hours. Whether we’re catching the latest blockbuster or just hiding from the heat in a dark theater, it’s my favorite way to wind down. Between the food, nature, activities, and downtime, I think we’d cover all the bases for an unforgettable week!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
my journey in real estate wouldn’t be where it is today without the incredible support system around me. Making the tough decision to switch brokerages early on in my career and joining a team that truly supports its agents through every stage of a deal was a game-changer. But if I had to give the biggest shoutout, it would go to my wife. She’s been by my side through all the ups and downs that come with starting a brand-new career, especially one as demanding and unpredictable as real estate. Her constant encouragement, patience, and belief in me have been the foundation of my growth, and I truly couldn’t do this without her.
