What clients say about this agent....
My family moved down to San Diego back in 2018 and we werent sure how long wed stay. We fell in love with San Diego and were finally ready to start the buying process in 2023. After doing in-depth research on agents in the northeast San Diego area (Poway, RB, PQ), I met with Chad for a coffee to discuss our plans to purchase and all things real estate. It was great to know he grew up in RB, had extensive knowledge of the various neighborhoods in the area, and was well connected. He met my wife and kids when we viewed a house a couple weeks later, and after my wife gave the thumbs up based on his laid back and friendly approach, we decided to work together for our purchase. Buying a house in 2023 is far from an easy task, but Chad made it as smooth as possible. I also appreciated that he never tried to take an easy way or cut any corners. Even if it was fairly obvious we werent going to get a place based on the price we were willing to pay, he never shied away from meeting us and writing up an offer to give us a chance while also never pushing us to make an offer we werent 100% comfortable with. We also considered buying in Temecula, and he was more than happy to make the long drive to check out a couple places with us. We ultimately found an amazing home in RB that we absolutely love. Chad viewed the property before us and thought it might be a good fit even though we werent interested based on the photos. Chad was right, it was a perfect fit. I'm confident in saying we wouldnt own our home today if it wasnt for Chads ability to navigate the offer and escrow process. Having previously purchased a couple properties in the Bay Area with an amazing real estate agent, I had high expectations for an agent. I expect an agent to be very knowledgeable of the area, be able to provide good insights on properties and opportunities for improvement, and of course be prompt and clear with communication. Chad delivered on all fronts, and some. He knew the path for getting the deal done and I'm very grateful he helped us find our forever home.
Chad is amazing. He helped us find our dream home during the absolute worst time to buy a house. Chad worked with us for a year, found us incredible listings, found out every detail he could about each house and helped us set up showings - all while he was in San Diego and we were in Los Angeles. Chad was sending us listing, setting up showings, helping us put together bids, answering emails and texts all day, late into the night. And we were not easy customers - picky, busy, frustrated by the market, always dragging a baby and a little kid around from LA for showings. But Chad was there for us, like a friend. Patient, understanding, positive - always ready to help, focused on finding us our home. The market was terrible for us, the supply was low and the prices were totally bonkers. Chad, given his depth of knowledge and experience - and just general integrity as a human - ensured that we didn't get trapped into overpaying for a home he knew was over priced. He gave us advice, helped ensure we didn't make moves out of desperation. And when we lost out on bids (which happened in lot in that intense market), he helped us get through it, keep it all in perspective and move forward. I have no idea what we would have done without Chad's persistence, local knowledge and worth ethic. With his support, we found a perfect home for our family and for our remote work needs. And, we paid under the list price which was completely unheard of. To say the least, we are extremely happy. It was Chad's hard work that got us here. After we moved in, Chad helped us connect with people in the area for general house maintenance needs (housekeeper, gardener), ensuring we always had what we needed. He's a genuinely nice, helpful and good guy. We are so lucky to have found him. I'd recommend working Chad for buying and selling a home. He will work hard for you. And you will be happy.
We relocated from California to Nevada in mid-2021, and decided to sell our prior home in California in May 2022. Our Nevada real estate agent searched for the best agent for our CA home type/location/price. Chad Basinger was who she picked, and it was evident from the start through to the end that Chad was very professional, well polished, and very detail oriented - and therefore the perfect fit for us. The listing page and photos/videos were outstanding, and during the single weekend we opened the home up to show, we had close to 200 people walk through resulting in two offers well above asking price, as well as a couple of lower offers we did not pursue. Through the pre-sale preparation and post-offer inspection and repairs process, Chad was able to help get things done for us remotely and even helped expedite some of the vendors repair schedules to keep our escrow close on-time. We have high standards and were very pleased with Chad. We would strongly recommend Chad as an agent to exceed your expectations and requirements and get the job done efficiently
He provided very valuable guidance and expertise that enabled our homebuying process completely remotely and turned this experience to a truly pleasant and smooth process. A skillset that is hard to find even with local agents. Our original target was San Diego but we later decided for Temecula. He was able to quickly reprioritize and set new targets. Chad assisted us in visiting homes in Temecula, despite living in San Diego, and providing us with walk-through Video with details to review and decide. We find Chad highly dedicated, very organized and approachable, immensely knowledgeable and professional. He exceeded our expectation on all fronts by driving every activity with urgency. We were delighted to have Chad representing us in searching and purchasing our home in California and would highly recommend him to others.
Chad recently sold my downtown San Diego property, and was my agent for a home purchase in Carlsbad. Chad is best-in-class when it comes to real estate agents. He's incredibly experienced, extremely diligent, and one of the hardest workers I've encountered. Everything he does, he does with the highest quality and meticulous attention to detail. His communication is always timely and he kept the calm amidst the anxiety one feels when buying or selling a home. Chad also has a great sense of humor and was fun to interact with through the process. He will be my real estate agent for life and I cannot wait to recommend him to everyone I know!
This was my second time working with Chad and it was great experience. Professional, responsive, knowledgeable and patient. If you are looking for an agent to help you buy or sell, I strongly recommend Chad. He will have your best interest well represented and patiently handle any obstacle that is presented.
Chad did a fantastic job assessing the market and finding the right buyer to purchase our house. His professionalism, dedication, and work ethic are second to none. In addition, he is a great guy, and it was a pleasure to work with. He ended up supporting both myself (seller) and the buyer, which in itself can be tricky, but he navigated through the process very smoothly, continually keeping both parties well informed. My family was relocating out of state, and the relocation company introduced him to us. I am happy they did. I have to say that I am thrilled with how he managed the whole process. I would highly recommend Chad to anyone looking for an exceptional realtor in California.
We highly recommend Chad to anyone buying or selling a home. He is professional, courteous, hard working, and makes recommendations but allows us to make decisions. His marketing of our property was fantastic. A great selling experience for us.
My wife and I were moving from out of state to an area we had never been before. Fortunately, we found Chad and he helped us find the perfect home. He was very knowledgeable and helped us look at different neighborhoods to weigh pros and cons. We viewed homes remotely and he was great working with us by email and phone. We ended up buying a house without seeing it in person and were very confident with the information Chad provided. Chad is an outstanding agent and wonderful personaEUR" highly recommended!
Chad was great to work with. He made recommendations and then respected our decisions to follow them or not. He always represented our interests and let us know our options. We sold our house very quickly, and he was always responsive right up until the final document was signed. We would highly recommend him!!
