About Chris
As one of the founding agents of Compass in 2014, Chris Ritchey was a member of the Scholz
Team in Manhattan. Chris was integral in repositioning the largest NYC residential deal in 2015, Blackstone’s acquisition of a $680M portfolio consisting of 24 buildings.
In just a few months the team repositioned this portfolio to be valued at over $1 Billion.
Chris made the move to the Hamptons full time and co-founded The Hovey | Ritchey Team, ranked among the top 1.5% of over 1.6 million Real Estate professionals in the United States by the Wall Street Journal in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
In 2023 Chris joined The Hudson Advisory Team, ranked the #1 Mega Team in New York State by the Wall Street Journal, conducting well over $4 Billion of real estate sales throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Hamptons, since 2017. In 2021 and 2022, Hudson Advisory completed over $2.5 Billion in real estate transaction volume.
Chris presents his clients with the most relevant options and best opportunities based on their
needs and desires, whether it be a summer rental or buying a home for life. He makes the
search extremely efficient, and educates his clients through the entire transaction to the
closing table and beyond. Chris also has an incredible eye for design and staging a home to
help Sellers market their properties resulting in a higher sales price and less days on market.
The son of a British mother and an American father, Chris grew up on his family's horse farm, home to Preakness and
Belmont winner Afleet Alex. As an avid horseman, he is a member of the Compass Equestrian Division, a national network of vetted real estate agents who truly understand the equestrian
lifestyle. He rides and competes with trainer Rebecca Robin of Robin Stables located at Mecox Bay Farm in Bridgehampton.
Chris is the Vice President of the Board of Directors for C.T.R.E.E. (Center for Therapeutic Riding of the East End) as well as Co-Chair of their annual Horses Changing Lives Benefit at Sebonack Golf Club. He is also an active volunteer with East End Cares.
