OUR COMPANY
Thank you for your interest in Joseph Chris Partners.
Many things have changed since my parents started Joseph Chris Partners in 1977. We used phone books to find people to call, and we wrote letters to people and mailed them. We typed resumes and faxed them to clients. And we dialed out on a push button land line phone. But one very important thing hasn’t changed from 1977: the value of true human connection.
We’re in the human connection business at Joseph Chris Partners. When I’m asked if I’m concerned that businesses like ours will become obsolete with advances in artificial intelligence, and I always respond, “absolutely not.” I invest in technology to improve our processes and deliver results to clients more efficiently, but nothing will ever replace the connections we’re able to make every day in every conversation we have.
Our work spaces may change, and the technology we use to reach out to people may change, but the trusted relationships we’ve built with professionals in the real estate development and construction industries span years, and decades, and that will never change.
Few things in life are certain, but as we’ve realized, the need for true, honest, and authentic human connection will always have value. At Joseph Chris Partners, we bring the value of our connections to your team to help you grow, meet new challenges, accomplish new goals.
–Veronica Ramirez, C.E.O. and President of Joseph Chris Partners
Since the beginning...
The Joseph Chris Partners story began in 1977, and we continue to write new chapters every day. What hasn’t changed since the beginning is our commitment to building strong connections with integrity and giving our best every day.
