Prior to founding JC Hannah Consulting, Chris worked in the Federal Tax Reduction division of a major Houston-based real estate services company, ultimately serving as Chief Appraiser responsible for technical compliance with the latest federal tax laws, and leading a team that performed hundreds of Cost Segregation studies each year on real estate assets located across the United States. He also served as the project lead in developing the company’s proprietary report writing system for their Cost Segregation studies.

Chris is also a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser (TX 1339849-G) experienced with best practice real estate valuation methodologies. With over sixteen years experience in commercial real estate, Chris has personally completed thousands of Cost Segregation studies on properties ranging from new high-rise development in Manhattan to smaller owner-occupied projects, and literally everything in between.

This experience includes working closely with CPAs, Accounting and Finance professionals, Real Estate Investors, Property Managers, Developers, and Building Engineers on a multitude of successful Cost Segregation projects.

Chris was raised in Houston, Texas and is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. In his free time he enjoys coaching his daughter in softball, volunteering, participating with his church community, hiking, fishing, and anything outdoors, history, chess, and tinkering as a wannabee woodworker.
