As a former partner of a $15 billion New York Stock Exchange listed Real Estate Investment Trust and CEO of an ultra-high-net-worth family office, Chris brings a breadth and depth of real estate investment experience and discretion to his clients. Following successful exits from these careers, he decided to pursue his passions of architecture, design, and luxury residential real estate. His own home on the Upper East Side, where he served as Treasurer of his board, was featured in the design magazine, New York Cottages and Gardens (NYC&G) and on the television show, Open House New York.
Prior to his career in real estate finance and wealth management, Major Franklin served on active duty as an officer and B-52H bomber pilot in the United States Air Force. He held numerous non-flying assignments including Political Military Adviser for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (while assigned to the Pentagon) and Executive Officer to the Commanding General of Eighth Air Force. Air Force core values of “Integrity First”, “Service Before Self”, and “Excellence In All We Do”, were ingrained early in his career. Entrusted with our nation’s highest secrets, Chris brings these same core values, attention to detail, and trust to every interaction with his clients.
Chris holds a B.Sc. from The United States Air Force Academy where he graduated with military distinction, a M.A. in Organizational Management from George Washington University, and a MBA from The Fuqua School of Business at Duke University where he served on the Alumni Advisory Board.
