Leadership
Chris Wattinger
Founder and principal of Wattinger & Co., an independent owner-side real estate and capital advisory firm.
With more than 20 years of experience at the intersection of investment, capital strategy, and execution, he has directed over $500 million in capital deployment, led due diligence supporting $3 billion+ in acquisitions and investments, and overseen 10,000+ units across 100+ properties in multifamily, senior housing, and commercial real estate throughout Texas, the Sun Belt, and nationwide markets.
His focus is clear: represent ownership exclusively across the full asset lifecycle—from pre-acquisition diligence and risk assessment through capital planning, project execution, stabilization, and long-term portfolio governance.
He excels at translating underwriting assumptions and diligence findings into practical scopes, budgets, schedules, and accountability frameworks that deliver durable performance in the field, not just on paper.
Chris has built and scaled enterprise-level capital, diligence, and operations platforms; implemented standardized workflows and decision-making processes; and served as a trusted advisor to owners, investment committees, asset managers, operators, and executive leadership.
His approach is straightforward: clear governance and 100% alignment with the owner always produce better decisions, more reliable execution, and assets that hold their value over time.
