About the host
Hosted by Chris Lambert
I'm a real estate investor focused on breathing new life into historic buildings and creating outstanding experiences for curious explorers.
My wife and I moved to Staunton from Washington, DC in 2014 to raise our family in this special historic town. Back then Staunton was really still a hidden gem, a rare walkable town bursting with character and potential, smack in the middle of some of the most beautiful mountain countryside in the nation. It seems the town steadily gains notoriety each year. And it’s safe to say there are now more things to do here than a couple of parents with two kids can even hope to take advantage of. It’s a magical place to spend some time!
My obsession with design, construction, historic buildings, and real estate runs pretty deep. I have master’s degrees from Columbia University in architectural conservation and from VA Tech in urban planning. I worked in consulting for several years helping colleges and universities build and renovate facilities. Later I became a partner in a fast-casual restaurant start-up, handling facilities and guest experience.
Here in Staunton I have been doing endless renovation work, including full gut rehabs. I’m especially excited to have partnered with one of my closest and oldest friends to take on a number of projects we believe will have a lasting transformative impact on the community. And creating unique experiences with Short Term Rentals is a big part of that.
I believe good design has a profound impact on people, and there’s so much work that needs to be done to leverage and improve what we have. Intentional real estate investment is a powerful tool to make that happen. It’s hard and very rewarding work. I’m having a blast.
