Meet Chris

A Naples native, Chris Resop spent his early years on the baseball field and fishing the waterways of Florida’s Gulf Coast. A standout student-athlete, he was drafted straight out of high school by the Florida Marlins in 2001, turning down both academic and athletic scholarships from top universities to pursue his dream of playing Major League Baseball.
 
Over the next 14 years, Chris built a successful professional career as a pitcher, playing for six MLB teams across nine seasons. During his time with the Pittsburgh Pirates, he received the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award, given to the player who best exemplifies community involvement, philanthropy, and positive character. A recognition he still considers one of his proudest achievements.
 
Early in his baseball journey, Chris married his wife, Kara, whom he met in high school, and together they started a family. After years of constant relocation and the demanding lifestyle of professional sports, Chris decided to retire from baseball and turn the page to a new chapter.
 
In just over a decade since his retirement, Chris has achieved what few ever do, approaching $2 billion in career real estate sales. Most notably, he set a new benchmark in Naples with a record-breaking $105 million transaction, one of the highest residential sales in Florida history.
 
Real estate was a natural transition. With a family legacy spanning over 60 years in real estate sales and development, and Kara’s own industry experience, Chris and Kara formed The Resop Team, a dedicated partnership committed to delivering a personalized, boutique real estate experience.
 
Their success is no accident. It’s the result of clear intention, relentless drive, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. “We are high achievers who pride ourselves on doing things the right way,” says Resop.
 
Whether representing world-class estates or guiding clients through strategic transitions, Chris approaches every transaction with the same mission: to exceed expectations and deliver exceptional results.
 
Today, The Resop Team provides solution-oriented services for buyers and sellers in the Naples luxury real estate market. Known for their diligence, experience, and integrity, Chris and Kara are committed to achieving the results you deserve every step of the way.
 
Let Chris Resop be your trusted guide in Naples luxury real estate.
