ABOUT COMMERCIAL AGENT Christopher Smith

"I'll never forget sitting in the iconic Pizza Palace Restaurant on York Road with my college buddies in May 1985 getting ready to graduate from Towson University and being excited about what lie ahead. I was headed to Washington, D.C., where I polished my hospitality skills working as a restaurant manager in the J.W. Marriott Hotel during the Reagan Administration. Two years later I was recruited to return to Baltimore County to start a new role as a property manager for the Lutherville-based Mackenzie Commercial Real Estate Services. This position evolved into a leasing associate and started my career as a commercial real estate broker. In January 2000, after being named a partner and the top producer in the brokerage division every consecutive year since the division was created, it was time to fulfill my entrepreneurial dream and launch TriAlliance Commercial Real Estate Services, which now is entering its third decade. The company's first address was in Towson at 40 York Road -- right across the street from the same Pizza Palace."
