Chris Hyzy

A little bit of background information about me!

http://www.beamrealestate.com

Welcome to Realty Service!

My experience in the Real Estate Industry started several years ago as I began working as a Leasing Agent for an Apartment Community in Dallas. As time went on, I was promoted to a Marketing Director, overseeing the DFW Metroplex, and onto running several Apartment Communities at once as a Senior Property Manager.

I moved away from the Apartment Industry to focus on my Real Estate Career. My focus is now on the Sales side of Real Estate, handling Foreclosure Investments, while still working with Rental Properties and Clients.

My goal has always been to provide all of my Clients, Investors and Owners with the most professional service available. I strive for nothing but the best, and my work shows for that. No one is ever treated as "just a number" in my book, each person has their own unique needs that are addressed and listened to by someone who truly has a vested interest.
