I'm Christopher Fields, founder of Copco Properties and a retired law enforcement officer.
I attended Lamar University on a baseball scholarship and earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice. After college, I graduated from the police academy and spent the next 14 years serving in law enforcement.
That career taught me how to work with people. When someone called for help, my job was to show up, listen, get the facts, and help solve the problem. It also taught me that trust is earned by doing what you say you'll do, every time. Those lessons still guide how I run my business today.
After retiring, I moved into real estate and became a licensed real estate agent. I started Copco Properties because I've always loved land and the outdoors, and I wanted to build a company that helps landowners in a way that is simple, honest, and fair.
Many of the landowners we talk with are dealing with more than just a sale. Some inherited land they've never seen. Some have fallen behind on property taxes, found a problem with the title, or own a parcel with no road access. Others simply own land they no longer need. Whatever the situation, they want straight answers and no pressure. That's what we give them.
At Copco Properties, our team takes the time to learn about your land and what you want to do with it. We explain every step in plain English, we never charge commissions or hidden fees, and we follow through on what we say. If we're not the right fit for your property, we'll tell you that too.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, traveling, and spending time with family and friends, especially in the Tennessee mountains. Land isn't just a business to me. It's something I genuinely enjoy, and helping a landowner find a good path forward is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
