Our Team

Chris Burns (LinkedIn) is the founder of Pickl TX LLC and brings over a decade of experience solving complex real estate problems with empathy, creativity, and precision. He has led or participated in more than 500 transactions nationwide—as a broker, team leader, developer, and multifamily operator.

Before founding Pickl TX, Chris helped tenants navigate Washington D.C.’s complex TOPA law and secure their rights of first refusal for their homes. That experience taught him how to listen carefully, work through legal and title challenges, and create win-win outcomes—especially when time and trust are in short supply.

In 2024, Chris launched Pickl TX LLC to bring his deep experience in legal and title-driven real estate directly to Texas heirs and sellers who need someone willing to do the hard work of curing complicated title issues. Today, Chris leads acquisitions, shapes company strategy, and uses his skills as a licensed private investigator (DC #PAI40000043) to help the research team crack even the most difficult cases.

Tori Sims brings a rare mix of title expertise and project management to Pickl TX LLC. Before joining the company, she worked as a title processor with years of experience in underwriting, file management, and navigating complex closings. She also served as Manager of Renovation and Design at Chesapeake Hospitality, leading capital projects for hotels across the country. A third-generation real estate entrepreneur, Tori now oversees our data and research teams and manages operations across the portfolio—ensuring every case moves forward with clarity, organization, and care.
