Get to Know Chris

Chris Rooker is the Principal Broker and Co-Owner of Nest Realty, serving Harrisonburg and Rockingham County since 2003. With $200M+ in closed sales volume, hundreds of clients helped, and 30–40 transactions per year, Chris is a Realtor known for clear guidance, careful strategy, and straight answers—backed by 50+ Zillow reviews.

Chris doesn’t view his role as “selling” homes. He acts as a real estate guide and sounding board, helping clients evaluate options, understand market realities, and move forward confidently from first conversation through closing. Chris serves Harrisonburg and nearby communities including Dayton, Bridgewater, McGaheysville, Penn Laird, Hinton, Keezletown, and Linville.

My view from both sides of the desk: leading a real estate brokerage while staying rooted in the day-to-day work of serving home buyers and sellers.

Chris dedicated countless hours over nearly two years helping us find the perfect home. His patience was truly remarkable, and his knowledge during negotiation and closing made the process smooth and stress-free. He also guided us through staging and selling our original house, which sold for top dollar. We would recommend him without hesitation.
— John A.
Chris was very patient and helpful with the search for, and purchase of, our new house. He showed us numerous properties over a year and a half before we found the one we wanted. He was very mindful of our body language as we toured each property. He pointed out things both good and bad. Chris was more than just an agent trying to sell a house. He wanted to make sure it was the right fit for us. Since we purchased our house Chris has been a great resource for us in helping us with recommendations of painters, contractors, movers, etc. needed to help make this house our own. We highly recommend Chris as a real estate agent.
— Terri B.
Chris was invaluable every step of the way - from norming our expectations, setting realistic goals, sourcing just the houses we were interested in looking at, and he was very kind and responsive. I would highly recommend Chris as your agent!
— Bob O.
