Chief Operating Officer and Owner of Sellect Realty, Chris Lazarus, has been accepted into the Forbes Real Estate Council, an invitation-only community for executives in the real estate industry.

Chris Lazarus joins other Forbes Real Estate Council members, who are hand-selected, to become part of a curated network of successful peers and get access to a variety of exclusive benefits and resources, including the opportunity to submit thought leadership articles and short tips on industry-related topics for publishing on Forbes.com. 

Forbes Councils combines an innovative, high-touch approach to community management perfected by the team behind Young Entrepreneur Council with the extensive resources and global reach of Forbes. As a result, Forbes Council members get access to the people, benefits and expertise they need to grow their businesses — and a dedicated member concierge who acts as an extension of their own team, providing personalized one-on-one support.

When asked about the recent induction to the Forbes Real Estate Council, Chris said, "I am delighted to contribute to this incredible network of real estate experts. We train our agents to think and act globally in our hyper-local market, so there is a natural attraction with the Council for our company. Our membership in the Forbes Real Estate Council will help cement our initiatives within our industry, and will continue to deliver quality to our clients and community."

Scott Gerber, founder of Forbes Councils, says, "We are honored to welcome Sellect Realty into the community. Our mission with Forbes Councils is to curate successful professionals from every industry, creating a vetted, social capital-driven network that helps every member make an even greater impact on the business world."
