The Future Leaders in Real Estate Award spotlights individuals making significant contributions to the future of the industry with bold ideas and inspirational leadership. Emily Paquette, CEO of Inman, describes this year’s honorees as “the next generation of industry titans,” and Miller is a shining example of this distinction.
In just over a year, Miller has overseen Epique Realty’s unprecedented growth, expanding from 300 agents in early 2024 to nearly 4,000 across 36 states by 2025. This remarkable trajectory is a direct reflection of Miller’s commitment to putting agents first. Considered a trailblazer in the industry, he has helped build a brokerage model that prioritizes agent success through advanced technology, free tools, mentorship, and fostering a culture of collaboration.

By combining innovation, empathy, and operational excellence, Miller has established Epique as more than just a brokerage—it’s a movement transforming lives and careers in real estate.
Epique’s co-founders echoed their admiration for Miller’s contributions. CEO Josh Miller emphasized Christopher’s unshakable commitment to the company’s mission: “Chris leads with heart, vision, and determination. His belief that the brokerage should work for the agent—not vice versa—has built a legacy that is reshaping the real estate world.”
CFO Janice Delcid added, “Christopher’s innovative strategy and operational brilliance have created an ecosystem where agents thrive financially and professionally. His leadership isn’t just driving growth; it’s setting new standards for what a brokerage company can achieve.”
Through a cutting-edge approach that leverages AI-powered tools, operational efficiencies, and extraordinary agent benefits at no additional cost, Epique Realty demonstrates that success is built on empowerment.
