Meet the Man Behind MrCashBuyer
Chris Chiarenza is a Long Island investor who reached a milestone few ever achieve—flipping his 1,000th house. His journey, nearly two decades in the making, is built not on privilege but on grit, risk, and faith.
Chris grew up in West Islip and spent his early years working long hours at The Larkfield Manor in East Northport, his father’s catering hall. At 23, after a falling out with his dad, he walked away determined to build a future on his own.
The early years were brutal. He lived in a $20-a-day motel, was evicted from his apartment, and buried under more than $80,000 of debt before eventually declaring bankruptcy. As Chris recalls, “I had nothing but faith that God had more in store for me.”
Everything shifted when he met motivational speaker Brian Tracy, whose message lit a fire in him. Chris discovered he had a natural gift for selling. He became a top used-car salesman at Chevy/Mazda 112 in Medford, saving $7,500 to launch an electric scooter business with his friend Vinny. Within a few years, they sold the company for nearly $2 million.
From there, Chris launched several more successful ventures that he eventually sold before entering real estate full-time in 2009. In the real estate world, he saw what others overlooked: homeowners who needed fast, direct solutions. That insight became the foundation of his future success. Chris built DealHouse—now rebranded as MrCashBuyer—alongside partners Pedro Velez and Dilip Deokule into one of Long Island’s most trusted direct home-buying companies.
“The brutal truth is my father, who was a great man, never gave me anything. I had to learn the hard way because I was a spoiled kid. Even when he passed away, I received nothing. Everything I have, I earned myself.”
“From nothing to a thousand houses flipped—with God, all things are possible.”
