A LEGACY ROOTED IN SOUTHERN MARYLAND Local knowledge. Personal service. Lasting impact.
Chris McNelis has been selling real estate in Southern Maryland for over 30 years. If you ask her about it, she won’t start with numbers or sales figures. She’ll talk about the water. The old farmhouses. The small towns where everyone still waves. To her, the Southern Maryland lifestyle is what real estate is all about. As the founder and team lead of McNelis & Associates of BHHS PenFed Realty, Chris has built a reputation for integrity, deep-rooted expertise, and commitment to her clients. Her career is defined by not only her exceptional reputation, but by leadership and results. And this shows up as more than just awards on the wall. People refer their neighbors to her, their kids call her when they’re ready to buy their first home, and sellers who worked with her twenty years ago still send Christmas cards. Growing up in the region has had a big influence on how she approaches every listing. She’ll walk a historic farmhouse and mention
20 | LuxuryHomeMagazine.com
what the land used to be used for, or point out why a commercial building still matters to the people who’ve lived there their whole lives. Doesn’t matter whether it’s a waterfront estate, a working farm, a starter home, or a storefront, she treats every listing like it has a history worth knowing, because it usually does. That knowledge shapes her strategy too. No two listings get the same playbook; she builds a strategic, tailored approach around the property and builds a narrative that will resonate with the right buyer. People who’ve worked with her describe two sides, both genuine. One is unhurried: she’ll spend an hour walking a property with you, asking the kind of questions that actually shape a search, long before a single showing happens. The other is exacting once she’s at the negotiation table, protective of her clients’ interests down to the smallest term. This combination keeps clients coming back to her, and referring her to the people they trust most.

Outside of transactions, Chris stays involved in the things that keep Southern Maryland from losing what makes it distinct: historical preservation efforts, local cultural organizations, and the economic planning that protects the region’s character over the long term. She brings the same investment to her own team, mentoring the agents who work alongside her well beyond onboarding. The people who’ve worked under her tend to stay, and the ones who’ve moved on still call her for advice.

For Chris, real estate has always been about understanding what someone is truly trying to build, whether that’s a home on the water, a legacy property, or simply the next chapter of their life. Thirty years and thousands of transactions in, she’s spent a lifetime in this region preparing for exactly that conversation.
