Christopher Nortley is the Founder and President of MHRE, Inc., a specialized real estate advisory and investment sales firm dedicated exclusively to the manufactured housing, RV resort, self-storage, and express car wash sectors throughout North America.
Since founding MHRE in 2011, Christopher has established himself as one of the industry’s most respected advisors within the manufactured housing and RV community sector. Under his leadership, MHRE quickly emerged as one of North America’s premier boutique advisory firms, earning recognition as the #1 Individual Broker in Manufactured Housing & RV Community Transactions in both 2015 and 2016.
Christopher’s perspective extends well beyond investment sales. From 2020 through 2025, he focused on principal ownership and operations, acquiring, managing, and improving a private portfolio consisting of all-age manufactured housing communities, age-restricted communities, RV resorts, and marina assets. This firsthand ownership experience provides clients with practical insight into acquisitions, financing, operations, capital planning, infrastructure improvements, resident relations, and long-term asset management. In 2026, Christopher reintroduced MHRE through the launch of its proprietary Core Client Services (CCS) platform—a strategic advisory model developed to connect qualified acquisition partners with highly aligned investment opportunities while providing owners with institutional-quality representation and disciplined execution.
Today, Christopher advises clients on acquisitions, dispositions, portfolio strategy, market positioning, and long-term investment planning across MHRE’s specialized asset classes.
