Rick Normoyle has been an influential part of the Christopher Companies family since 2017. Rick grew up in Montgomery County, MD and still calls it home today. Rick pursued a college education in Business Marketing and Management, but soon found a desire to pursue a real estate career. He joined Long and Foster, Inc in Potomac, MD in 2010 and soon followed with a new home sales career where he learned the sales, marketing, and management side from various regional and national builders. Rick quickly realized his passion in life was the ability to help connect families with the American dream while also having an opportunity to create jobs with the successes that new home sales provided. Christopher Companies asked Rick to help revitalize their Delaware division after his years of sales success in Maryland. Rick took over the sales efforts for the Delaware division and helped sell out every community in the Bethany Beach, Ocean View, Millville and Fenwick Island areas. At the same time, he was honored Platinum Award winner by the Builders & Remodelers Association of Delaware which is the highest honor for new home sales managers in Delaware.
Rick has since overtaken the General Sales Manager roll for The Christopher Companies and now oversees the sales and marketing team and their efforts for the company in each community throughout Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. We, at The Christopher Companies, look forward to many years of success with Rick at the helm of our multi-division sales initiative.

IN LOVING MEMORY (1938 – 2018) Fred Kober founded The Christopher Companies in 1974, with operations in both Northern Virginia and the Tidewater area of Virginia. Through the years, he has provided the vision for the firm’s development. Fred’s insight and experience now provide the basis for The Christopher Companies’ ongoing endeavors. As an invaluable link to the past and a tie to the future, Fred, as Chairman of the Board, consulted on all aspects of management of The Christopher Companies. Fred believed in giving back to the communities where he built through charitable works, most notably the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association’s “Builder’s House 2001” project in 1994, which raised over half a million dollars for the Ronald McDonald House, as well as for other local charities. He was a tremendous leader and mentor and we will always remember his gentle spirit and unwavering dedication to the company that he built.
