About Me

Chris Powers wakes up each day feeling fortunate to have lived on the beautiful island of St. Croix for over 22 years, and grateful to have found his true home after living all over the country.  His journey to the US Virgin Islands began in Eugene, Oregon, and a love for the island’s sunshine and warm weather led him to a dedicated life and career on St. Croix.  His deep-rooted knowledge of the island’s estates, neighborhoods and communities is the foundation of his successful real estate career, which began more than a decade ago. The kind and welcoming Crucian people make living on St. Croix a richly rewarding experience.

A consistent high-achiever, Chris has been recognized with multiple prestigious awards, including the Chairman’s Club, International President’s Circle, International Diamond Society and International Sterling Society.  He has also pursued and achieved top-tier professional certifications that underscore his expertise and commitment to his clients:

  • SRS (Seller Representative Specialist)
  • ABR (Accredited Buyer’s Representative)
  • PSA (Pricing Strategy Advisor)
  • RENE (Real Estate Negotiation Expert) 

Working alongside his wife and business partner, Christie Powers, Chris focuses on all facets of the market including Houses, Condos, Land, and Commercial Listings and sales.

For Chris, real estate is about building relationships and understanding the needs and dreams of his clients.  He believes that every property transaction is a life-changing event, and he approaches each one with a problem-solving mindset and a commitment to communication.  His goal is to gently guide clients through the process, ensuring they feel confident and excited about their choices.  Chris never loses sight of the fact that St. Croix is a small town at heart, where relationships are paramount and built to last. 

Chris is a proud member of the Coldwell Banker team, a brand that has a stellar reputation and a worldwide network of resources.  He frequently leverages this global network to help clients who are relocating off-island find trusted agents in their new destinations.  The Coldwell Banker office on St. Croix operates with a spirit of mutual support, ensuring that Chris and his clients benefit from the collective wisdom of the island’s most experienced agency.

His personal passion project is his deep involvement with the Southgate Corner Farmers’ Market.  He actively supports the local farmers by managing the market’s social media, announcing, with the farmers, what fresh produce will be available each week.   This involvement is not just a form of community service, but also an expression of his love for good food and the people who produce it.

In his free time, Chris loves exploring all the natural beauty that St. Croix has to offer.  He enjoys taking photos and videos of the island’s landscapes and wildlife, from the deer and peacocks in his own yard to the turtles nesting on the beach.  A lover of books and an avid reader, a passionate home cook, and a devoted fan of the San Francisco Giants, Chris’ life reflects a blend of professional excellence and personal enjoyment. 

Chris offers clients more than just real estate advice – he shares a deep, personal understanding of island life.  He often recommends that clients get in their cars and “get lost,” driving around to discover the hidden treasures that make St. Croix so special.  Even after over two decades, he and Christie still discover new places, neighborhoods, small businesses and hidden gems.

If you are looking for a Realtor who combines professional mastery, deep local knowledge and an unwavering commitment to your success, reach out to Chris Powers.  He is ready to work with you to navigate the St. Croix real estate market and find you your perfect piece of paradise.

Professional knowledge integrity and helpfulness have characterized all our dealings with the Powers for more than 20 years. Following my husband's death Chris and Christie sold both our condos for more than the asking price and in a very short time. In my mind they are indeed the best "Powers Behind Real Estate" on St Croix. Virginia Stevens

Hello Mr & Mrs Powers Just a note to thank you for your diligence and expertise in helping me through the process of selling the properties of my parents' estate. It sure was a process to transact this sale long distance. Thank you especially for taking the time to explain the developments of the systems/procedures along the way. Should I need any future business pertaining to real estate again in the USVI you will be the first one I reach out to. Again many many thanks!

My experience with Chris and Christie has been a great one starting before Hurricane Maria and continuing though the pandemic. I moved around a lot in my career and have had a lot of experience with different realtors having owned nearly 10 homes. Chris and Christie are among the best I have ever worked with. The home Chris found for me has never felt like a compromise – it feels like the perfect home for me. I have my dream home!! I cannot overstate the effectiveness of their communication. They were open with their communication during the home purchase always being available to answer questions throughout the process. Their real estate knowledge was great. They knew St. Croix and once they understand my desires helped steer me to the right homes. I chose a unique path to purchasing the home that required some different processes than normal. When I first mentioned this to them about it I was hopeful that they would understand the unique process and associated challenges - and I was pleased when they did. They were familiar with that type of transaction and helped guide me through the entire home purchase process. For me the most important attribute for a realtor is integrity. My home is the most expensive purchase I have. I want to know that the people who help me through the real estate process have integrity. I want to know that they will be honest when talking with me honest in what they know about potential homes and honest in their negotiations on my behalf. Every interaction I have had with Chris and Christie have shown integrity. It has been a pleasure working with each of them and with them together. They are easy to talk to and having real estate professionals that exhibit such great communications knowledge and integrity mean they will be my "go to" realtors in any future transactions I may have.

Chris and Christie had an ocean front lot listed that I called on. Chris explained the building process to me over the phone pretty in depth. After that conversation I knew I wanted to buy an existing home. They gave us great suggestions on lenders to use on the island. They also explained the process to us and how greatly it differed than the process in Iowa. My wife and I kept looking at listings and sending messages with questions about them. We were all over the place from condos to single family to multi family and all the way from the West side to the East end as well as the North side. They were accommodating as we figured out what we were looking for and narrowed our search. We finally settled on 6-7 homes to look at and I flew down for a couple days. Chris met me at the airport and scheduled two showings right away that evening then we did the rest in a whirlwind the next day. Chris and Christie know the island and island life and Chris made sure to point out things I'd have never thought to look for or ask about. When I returned home we decided to make an offer on one of the homes and we decided to make it part of a 1031 exchange. Chris and Christie handled the process and negotiated a great price well below appraisal value. They worked diligently with our attorney and lender to keep the process moving forward despite struggles we had with the sellers their attorney and the listing agent. In the end they got us the house and along the way they also helped us with understanding the short term rental market and how to make that as profitable as possible as well as what to consider with long term rental of the apartment downstairs. They also became our first friends on the island!
