Chris Goforth

Chris Goforth is the Broker-in-Charge and Co-Founder of Goforth & Co. Real Estate, a boutique mountain-modern brokerage serving the North Carolina Foothills and Blue Ridge Mountain region. With a reputation for exceptional service, clear communication, and integrity-driven leadership, Chris has become a trusted advisor for relocation buyers, sellers, and investors seeking a personalized, high-quality real estate experience.

Born with a passion for helping people and a commitment to doing things the right way, Chris built Goforth & Co. around a simple philosophy: clients deserve a boutique, relationship-focused approach, not a one-size-fits-all transaction. His extensive knowledge of Wilkes County and the surrounding mountain communities—paired with his calm, grounded guidance—makes him a go-to expert for those navigating the complexities of mountain and rural property.

Chris specializes in relocation, land and acreage, and residential properties throughout the NC Foothills. Whether assisting first-time buyers, advising sellers on market strategy, or guiding out-of-state clients toward the lifestyle they envision, he brings professionalism, patience, and genuine care to every step of the process.

As a leader, Chris is dedicated to fostering a collaborative, uplifting culture within the brokerage. He believes in mentorship, strong systems, and empowering agents to build meaningful, community-centered careers. Together with his wife and business partner, Melinda, he is building a firm defined by integrity, excellence, and the kind of personalized service that truly sets Goforth & Co. apart.

When he’s not meeting with clients or developing new marketing strategies, Chris enjoys exploring the region’s trails, discovering hidden mountain views, and spending quality time with his family.
