Our People & Leadership

A Passion For Real Estate

Behind every project we build is a team focused on trust, collaboration, and shared success.

Clear Mountain Properties is a real estate investment and development firm dedicated to creating vibrant communities and delivering strong, risk-adjusted returns for our investors. With deep expertise in Upstate South Carolina, we combine disciplined strategy, local insight, and entrepreneurial drive to unlock opportunities where others see complexity.

Our mission is simple: invest with clarity, execute with precision, and build with integrity.​

Clear Mountain’s portfolio spans multiple asset classes, supported by fully integrated property management that ensures consistency and quality across every project. Our advantage lies in our disciplined focus: targeting urban-core locations with limited supply and enduring demand. We pursue opportunities others overlook — “hairy” or complex deals that require vision and executional strength. By prioritizing both investor outcomes and resident and tenant experience, we build communities that people are proud to call home, and spaces where businesses can thrive, while generating lasting value for our partners.

Entrepreneurial Spirit

We thrive on innovation, risk-taking, and critical thinking. By pursuing complex or underappreciated opportunities, we unlock hidden value and deliver results others might miss. Entrepreneurship is in our DNA.

Christopher Rizzo, Partner

We hope that in 10 to 20 years from now, we can look back and have had an impact on the community 

Zachary Shurluff, Partner

While Clear Mountain Properties believes sustainability factors can enhance long-term value, CMP does not pursue a sustainability-based investment strategy or limit its investments to those that meet specific sustainability criteria or standards. Any such considerations do not qualify CMP’s objectives to maximize risk-adjusted returns.

 It's very quiet. It's very peaceful. It's a great place to raise my kids. They enjoy playing with their friends, and they've made a lot of new friends since we've been here.  If anything breaks you let them know and they're here to fix it immediately.

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to service. Our residents are our most important clients, and we approach them with empathy, responsiveness, and integrity. We believe housing is ultimately a commodity—but the way it’s delivered is not.
