Chris Rix
Real Estate Agent
Beverly Hills - CA

Christopher Rix, a lifelong resident of Hot Springs, Arkansas, has deep familial roots in the area dating back to the mid-1800s. His family has played a significant role in the region's development, notably founding the Arkansas National Bank, the first bank in Hot Springs. In 1903, Chas N. Rix, Christopher's ancestor, acquired the second mountain observation tower from the St. Louis World’s Fair and installed it on North Mountain. Chas also served as president of the Chamber of Commerce from 1904 to 1912, and several historic buildings bear the Rix name, recognized on the National Historic Register. Christopher is dedicated to continuing this rich family legacy.

With a robust background in sales and hospitality, Christopher began his career as an on-premise sales representative for Glazers Wholesale Drug Company, managing approximately 200 accounts. After his tenure at Glazers, he embarked on a project to rehabilitate a historic downtown building, transforming it into an upscale restaurant. Upon its opening, the establishment garnered significant acclaim from local and state publications, leading to a second renovation across the street due to overwhelming demand. The restaurant's success was further highlighted in notable publications such as the Los Angeles Times and Southern Living.

As Christopher developed an interest in the real estate market through his experiences with these properties, he became a licensed real estate agent, transitioning away from restaurant management. He is actively involved in various charitable organizations, including St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, the Heart Ball, and the National MS Society, dedicating both time and resources to support humanitarian efforts.

Christopher values his family deeply, considering them a primary influence in his life. A spiritual individual, he possesses a keen eye for detail and a passion for architecture, which has fueled his enjoyment of revitalizing properties in Hot Springs. His real estate career has been fulfilling, and he has earned several designations, including GRI, ABR, and GRLA. He is a member of the Council of Residential Specialists, the National Association of REALTORS, the Arkansas REALTORS Association, and the Real Estate Buyers Agent Council, contributing to ARPAC.

In addition to his professional qualifications, Christopher serves as a Director on the Hot Springs Board of REALTORS, chairs the Equal Opportunity Committee, and participates in the state Risk Reduction Committee, which develops state contracts. He is also active on the education committee and the Business Issues committee for the National Association of REALTORS.
