Chris Lim

Executive Vice President & Chief Growth Officer, RE/MAX Holdings

Chris Lim is Executive Vice President and Chief Growth Officer at RE/MAX Holdings, where he oversees the growth and development of franchises within U.S. Company-Owned Regions. He provides vision and direction to the Customer Success and Expansion teams as they support the brand’s presence in more than 40 states.

Chris joined RE/MAX in 2025, bringing with him more than two decades of experience in real estate. Throughout his career and across multiple companies, he has been instrumental in driving brand visibility, global growth, network expansion, and agent support, building strong relationships with franchisees and affiliates along the way. Before joining RE/MAX, Chris served as President of Christie’s International Real Estate. He has also held leadership roles as President and Head of Growth of @properties, Brand President at Realogy Holdings, and Founder and CEO of Climb Real Estate, a Northern California independent brokerage that was acquired by NRT (now Anywhere) in 2016. His contributions to the real estate industry have earned him recognition on the Swanepoel Power 200 list, as a RISMedia Newsmaker, and as an Innovative Leader by Inman.

Chris’ passion for real estate, architecture, and design runs deep — it’s in his DNA. As a second-generation real estate agent, Chris was raised in the industry. His father was a builder, his mother was an agent, and his sister is an interior designer and home stager. A graduate of the University of Richmond and Texas Christian University, Chris also serves on the Board of Trustees for the Horizons Foundation and the San Francisco Art Institute. Half Korean and half Polish, Chris has dedicated his life to supporting the American dream of sustainable homeownership and entrepreneurship for real estate agents and consumers alike.

At Worthshop, we look to Chris as someone who has stood at nearly every level of the industry — from being raised as the child of a realtor to becoming an agent, founder, president, and now global growth officer. His journey reflects both entrepreneurial daring and corporate leadership, and the way he has helped shape the ground beneath today’s market.

Alongside his prestigious tenure and current responsibilities, Chris’s passion for real estate, architecture, and design makes it a privilege to hear from him on Thursday’s State of the Luxury Market Panel.
