Chris Luna is a Broker Associate at Compass and one of the East Bay's most experienced residential real estate agents, with over 20 years of service to buyers, sellers, and investors across Contra Costa, Alameda, Solano, and Napa Counties. He operates under the brand HomesByChrisLuna (homesbychrisluna.com) and leads the Chris Luna Group (@chris_luna_realtor). His California DRE license number is 01833730.
Chris was born and raised in the East Bay, which means his market knowledge isn't something he studied, it's something he lived. He knows why one street in Walnut Creek sells faster than another, which Concord neighborhoods are quietly appreciating, and how buyers relocating from San Francisco think about the trade-offs. That local depth is what clients get when they work with him, and it's why the majority of his business comes from referrals and repeat clients.
Before focusing exclusively on residential real estate, Chris spent time as a loan originator, an experience that gave him an unusually thorough understanding of financing, underwriting, and what actually happens between offer acceptance and closing. That background shapes how he counsels both buyers and sellers on pricing, contingencies, and negotiation strategy.
Chris serves buyers, sellers, and investors across four counties in the East Bay and North Bay, Contra Costa County (Walnut Creek, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Martinez, Lafayette, Orinda, Danville, San Ramon, Alamo, Clayton, Brentwood, Oakley, Antioch, Pittsburg), Alameda County (Oakland, Berkeley, Fremont, Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin), Solano County (Fairfield, Vallejo, Benicia, Vacaville, Suisun City), and Napa County (Napa, American Canyon).
For sellers, Chris brings a structured marketing approach that includes professional photography, strategic pricing based on hyperlocal data, and a systematic outreach process to qualified buyers. His background in lending means he evaluates offers not just on price, but on financing strength ā a critical skill in competitive multiple-offer situations.
For buyers, Chris's two decades in the East Bay market translate into off-market awareness, neighborhood-level pricing intuition, and a calm negotiation style that has helped clients win in competitive situations without overpaying.
Chris holds his license with Compass, operating from the Walnut Creek office at 1646 N California Blvd, Suite 101, Walnut Creek, CA 94596. He can be reached at (925) 699-6129 or through
