Compass Congratulates Chris Cortazzo

On the heels of a record-breaking year in luxury real estate, we are honored to recognize the achievements of Malibu agent Chris Cortazzo for $1 billion+ in sales in 2021. We’re humbled and grateful to work alongside Chris every day as he exemplifies Compass entrepreneurship principles, dreaming big and obsessing about the opportunity to guide his clients home.

“Malibu is the greatest place to live and work in the world,” said Chris Cortazzo, who was born and raised in the coastal haven. “My clients trust me because I know the market better than anyone. I understand the locations and the lifestyle each unique area provides.” Knowledge, passion, discretion, and integrity have been the undercurrents of his real estate business for over 28 years. His natural charisma, combined with his ability to be laser-focused on clients in a way that makes them feel like there is no one else in the room, are well-known trademarks. In addition, Chris is widely hailed for his outstanding production and his market-making opinions, which are sought after by business & financial publications, as well as broadcast media.

Since arriving at Compass, Chris’s extraordinary sales reflect his legendary status as a real estate leader. He quietly amassed more than $8 billion in career sales, achieving over $1 billion in sales for 2021. 

“Every single day we get to watch Chris define his marketplace and redefine our industry, and it is something that we’re all inspired by. We’re proud to call Chris a leader, a partner, and a Compass agent. While we celebrate Chris’s exceptional year in 2021, we’re thrilled for all that 2022 has in store for him and his business,” Parker Beatty, Regional Vice President of Southern California said.

Congratulations to Chris Cortazzo for this outstanding career achievement.
