Home Buyer's Perspective Realty Inc.'s principal, Chris Albin, has many years experience in buying and selling real estate for others, and personally.  He has been the owner and manager of a number of income properties for more than a decade.

Chris Albin is a licensed Real Estate Broker

 Chris Albin graduated with his BA in Secondary Education from Eastern Illinois University in 1986. He taught high school English for 10 years, nine of which were in Danville District 118. Starting then, Chris has been buying houses for his own rental property portfolio for the past 13 years, and in that time he has been on the buy side of over 200 homes.

 Chris obtained his Real Estate Sales Person's license over 5 years ago primarily as a way to involve himself more deeply in the real estate transactions. As a part-time agent Chris both listed property for clients helping them to sell, and he helped other clients buy their homes. He grew to prefer working with the buyers because he had such a strong bias on the buy side of the transaction due to his personal experience. In short, Chris realized he "thinks like a home buyer".  He is always thinking from the Buyer’s perspective.

 Chris recognized the need for an exclusive buyer's brokerage in the Vermilion County area, so he obtained his Real Estate Broker's license in early 2003. Now he operates Home Buyer's Perspective Realty, Inc. hoping to contribute to a more buyer friendly market.

 Chris has spent his entire life around real estate. He grew up helping his parents develop and maintain their own rental properties. He was taking calls, showing houses, and signing leases for his parents as early as age 18 when his parents were traveling.

 Chris has a wife (Pam) and two sons. He is involved in his church as a youth worker, and he helps to coach a kid's club wrestling team. Chris serves as the down state Vice President of the Illinois Rental Property Owner's Association and tries to stay on top of
 legislative issues that affect property ownership.
