Chris Prefontaine is the Founder and Chairman of Smart Real Estate Coach®, a four-time best-selling author, a Forbes Business Council Member, and a three-time Inc. 5000 honoree for the fastest-growing company. With over 30 years in the real estate industry, his experience is extensive, from building over 100 single-family homes in the 1990s to owning a Realty Executives franchise. Today, his family-owned business, based in Newport, RI, consistently acquires 4 to 10 properties monthly and has engineered over $75 million in transactions.
Having weathered significant challenges, including the 2008 crash, 9/11, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Chris has re-engineered his business to be resilient in any economic climate. This firsthand experience in navigating turbulent markets informs his unique coaching philosophy. He is passionate about helping dedicated individuals become "Wicked Smart" real estate investors, providing them with proven strategies to build wealth and avoid the common pitfalls he has seen so many others make. His podcast, the Smart Real Estate Coach® Podcast, is a testament to his influence, ranking in the top 0.5% globally.
What truly sets Chris apart is his hands-on, in-the-trenches approach to mentorship. Frustrated by the lack of genuine support in the industry, he and his family team work directly alongside their partners, offering the collective wisdom of their entire family-owned operation. He has coached over 30,000 people across North America, focusing on practical application rather than just theory. Chris and his wife of 37 years, Kim, have successfully integrated their adult children, Nick and Kayla, into the family business, embodying the legacy and collaborative spirit he extends to his students.
