Chris Resop

The Agency is a unique kind of real estate company, defined by our strength of character, rebellious spirit, and passion for reinvention. Revolutionizing real estate is what we do, and it’s what managing partners Chris and Kara Resop stand behind with the utmost confidence. "We are creators, we are deliberate thinkers, we move through life with intention, we’re serious about the company we keep, and we believe in dreaming big," The Resop Team says.  As an incredibly successful husband and wife real estate duo, Chris and Kara Resop are globally known as The Resop Team. They bring a wealth of local Southwest Florida insight and an extraordinary work ethic to the brokerage. They have completed over 200 real estate transactions since 2015, and nearly $700M in sales, setting them apart as top agents at The Agency. The pair consistently rank each year on RealTrends as one of the top small teams in the country. At the heart of their work is the mission to help buyers and sellers find properties that best fit their lifestyle or investment needs.
 
Born and raised in Naples, Kara had the fortunate opportunity to grow up in a beautiful community that offers a rare lifestyle seldom found anywhere else in the world. She obtained her real estate license while pursuing her degree and joined Coldwell Banker, where she helped manage a top-producing sales team and became highly skilled at bringing deals together. Chris, also a Naples native, has been involved in real estate from an early age, having grown up in a family of agents and developers, he began his own professional career in baseball. Drafted by the Marlins after high school, he lived out his sports career to its fullest potential, pitching for six major league teams before setting down roots in Naples so he and his wife, Kara, could raise their family.
 
Chris and Kara have lived a life unlike most. Once married, The Resop Team jetted off, spending the next decade traveling the country for Chris’s career in the MLB, including living in Japan for two years while Chris played for the Hanshin Tigers. During this time, with their two small children, Kara continued to negotiate personal real estate sales and help fellow MLB families buy their forever homes. When Chris retired from his Major League Baseball career in 2014, they set off to redefine Naples' luxury real estate market. In just eight years, they took their business from zero to what it is now, approaching $700 million in sales. The Resop Team has built its business on representing each transaction at its highest and best. Chris and Kara know what it takes to assist their clients with smooth and effective transactions. Dedicated, diligent, and loyal, The Resop Team can guide you into the perfect home or assist with the successful sale of your house, and most importantly, their values line up with The Agency’s number one rule: No Assholes.
