what our customers are saying
"Chasen helped me with several properties, including the most recent one due to my divorce. He's a very sharp guy, a great listener, a skilled communicator (especially when dealing with two attorneys) and just an overall nice guy. I liked him and his wife so much (she was my lender), that we became friends, and we've had them over for dinner numerous times. I can't say enough nice things about the guy! He not only cares deeply, he’s a fun guy and definitely gets the job done."
James H.
"Chasen is a life-saver! We were moving to our new home in another state and our contract fell through with our prior agent (who we were not pleased with). Chasen took over the listing and got us multiple offers and $10,000 over the asking price. It closed smoothly and we were off to our new home. Thank you Chasen! Work with him. He's great!"

"My million dollar golf course home had been on the market with two other supposedly top agents, but they couldn't sell it. I'd heard good things about Chasen Chess and after we sat down to review his elaborate marketing plan and real estate history, I knew I'd found the right guy. I was in the middle of an ugly divorce, but Chasen handled everything perfectly. His custom marketing plan found the buyer and he represented both parties fairly. He even got the buyers to purchase all the furniture that I didn't want. Chasen is a rock star agent!"
John G.
"After interviewing several agents, we could tell Chasen was the kind of agent we wanted to work with. His years of experience. His diverse marketing plan. His list of inspectors, handymen, lenders, roofer, plumber etc was impressive because we knew our old home needed some TLC. Chasen found us a good buyer, and we closed in 30 days. We also used him to purchase our next home. A dream home with wonderful views of the local golf course. If you need a hard-working agent, choose Chasen."
Robert K.
"I'm a very busy business owner and met Chasen through a friend. He found me the exact house I was looking for, negotiated an excellent deal and we closed smoothly. Then he went above and beyond. I was single and looking. He introduced me to his #1 title rep and we were married a year later! What's the commission on a lifetime of happiness? Ha! Chasen's a great guy!"
Walter E.
"I'm a banker and oversee our foreclosure department. Another investor I know recommended Chasen Chess and he did a professional job from start to finish. He provided me with exacting comps, chose a perfect list price, did a great job marketing it. He got this ugly house with foundation problems sold in less than two months. I was impressed. I will use him again and definitely recommend him."

“My wife and I were new to the area and wanted a well experienced agent. We’d had issues with prior agents not doing what they promised and Chasen came through with flying colors. I’m a no BS kind of person and that’s what I wanted in an agent. Straight talk. And that’s what I received with Chasen. He helped find us a wonderful new home with some excellent views and a great yard for our young boys. Even though the market was busy and many homes were selling with multiple offers, Chasen’s negotiation strategies were spot-on and we won the house. I would highly recommend Chasen’s real estate services!”
Lt Col David B.
“I am a long-term financial planner and I know that the ‘devil’s in the details’. Chasen is a ‘details’ guy. He makes sure all the t’s are crossed and I’s are dotted. He has wonderful communication skills and was always on top of every detail. After he sold our beautiful home, he helped us find another and we also purchased a lot to build our dream home all thanks to Chasen’s real estate skills. I’ve recommended him several times to friends, and they all reported positive experiences. If you want someone that pays attention to the details, work with Chasen.”
Carol and Jim B.
“I’m a top producing agent in Chicago and I needed an exceptional realtor to help me sell two investment properties. After doing in-depth research, I decided to work with Chasen Chess. I was impressed with his online presence and after interviewing him, I knew I was working with another top agent. Chasen did a great job with the first investment property, so I gave him the second one to sell. Both times, he did an outstanding job. I’m a very picky person and Chasen passes the realtor test with flying colors. If you have an opportunity to work with him, do.”
Cheryl Z.
“We found Chasen through the marketing of one of his listing. We were a bit nervous because we decided to hire him even though he also represented the seller. He seemed very authentic and trustworthy and totally came through on every aspect of the purchase. He helped us find a great lender and walked us through all the inspections and paperwork. The guy is very thorough, and we’re glad we worked with him.”
Dr. Michele G.
“I’ve used Chasen several times over the last several years. He helped me purchase my first home and I was a naïve home buyer. He was patient and explained everything in language I was comfortable with. No realtor gibberish. All told now, I’ve used Chasen on four transactions and have recommended him to a couple other friends that needed excellent guidance. They sing his praises also.”
Jeremy and Lisa H.
“Chasen was a friend of ours. When it came time to sell our home and purchase another, he was our first choice because we trusted him implicitly. He gave us recommendations on preparing the home for market, shared his repair people with us (they all did a great job), referred an excellent lender and put the home on the market. Chasen recommended a good asking price and within days, he got us several showings and 2 offers, one $60,000 above the asking price. Chasen handled all the inspections, worked with the lender and got us closed in time to close on our new home. All in all, Chasen did an excellent job and we’d both recommend his services.”
Shaun and Stephanie M.
“I had just gone through a difficult divorce and Chasen helped me find a sharp mortgage lender that worked hard to get me qualified to buy a home so I didn’t have to rent. As a post office mail carrier, I knew what area I wanted to buy, but most of the homes in the area were above what I could qualify for. Chasen kept a daily lookout for a home for me and found one that was perfect. We closed on it without any hiccups. Thank you Chasen. I always refer your name when anyone I meet talks about needing a great realtor.”
Jay R.
"Being introduced to Chasen Chess by a friend from church was a Godsend. I was in the middle of a contentious divorce and the attorneys needed a quick sale on the house. My X and I wanted to get as much as we could for it, so that made it tough. Because I had borrowed too much on it, we were upside down. Chasen came to the rescue! He got us an acceptable offer in less than 2 months and helped us settle everything with the attorneys. I highly recommend Chasen Chess!"
Richard H.
"Thank you Chasen. I recommend your real estate services every time I hear that someone is going to sell or buy a home. My home had been on the market with some agent off the internet. Bad choice. Because the house backed to a busy street, it was a tough one to sell. After I met Chasen, I knew I had met a successful and professional realtor. His extensive marketing produced numerous showings and he got a good contract for us. We had some challenges with the inspections, but Chasen negotiated like the professional he is, and we closed on time."
Lt Col David H.
"I had just exited a rough divorce and Chasen helped me sell the house and buy another one. He's very professional and knows what he's doing. Highly recommended!"
James H.
"Chasen was recommended to me by a business associate. We owned an estate home and knew these high-end homes take longer to sell. His marketing is both local and international and he provided us with all the PR and advertising examples every step of the way. If you have a luxury home that you need to sell, contact Chasen. He'll do an excellent job for you."
Sanjay I.
“Chasen was recommended to me by my daughter after he helped them sell their home and buy another one. Pam went on and on about Chasen’s work ethic, attention to detail, negotiation skills, but most importantly, how nice he was and how much he cared about their needs. Obviously, he was going to be my agent also. Even though I only bought an affordable condo, he treated me like I was purchasing a multimillion-dollar mansion. He’s a sweetheart and you’ll enjoy working with him.”
Rose Mary A.
“I came to town without my wife due to her work obligations. I knew I was under pressure to find a home that not only I would be happy with, but one that she would also. No pressure! I was new to town and Chasen showed me all the homes in the parameters that we wanted. He must be a great listener, because we found several that matched our needs. Then I had the pressure on deciding ‘which one’? Chasen knew the ins and outs of the different neighborhoods and helped me narrow it down to the best one, which he helped negotiate a good price on. Chasen does an excellent job, and you’ll do yourself well if you work with him.”
Eric and Sandi B.
“Chasen had been recommended by a neighbor who used him when they purchased their new home. This was our most expensive home yet and I needed an agent that was familiar with luxury homes. Chasen did a marvelous job. He kept us informed throughout the escrow process, recommended high quality vendors for inspections, mortgage lending and repair people, who all did an outstanding job. Chasen’s the real deal and I recommend his services.”
Chuck and Julie C.
“My X-wife used Chasen on a home purchase and raved about his skills, so I thought I’d give him a shot when I needed to purchase a home after the divorce. Even though I had purchased and sold several homes over my life and worked with various agents, Chasen was the best of the best. Detail oriented, helpful, empathic, and it showed he really cares about his clients. He negotiated an excellent price on the home and I’m very happy with the transaction. I’d use him again.”
Lon H.
“I had moved out of my home due to a job change and the house sat empty while I decided whether I was going to sell it or rent it. A neighbor had recommended Chasen because he had done such a good job helping them sell their home and purchase another. Even though I was on the east coast, Chasen did a great job sending me all his market updates, comparative market analysis valuations, repair vendors to prep the home for market and was in contact through emails, phone calls and texts. He’s great at communications, let alone everything from A to Z in the real estate process. He got it sold in a couple weeks at full price and I was as happy as could be. If you use Chasen, you’ll be in good hands.”
Tiara L.
“Unfortunately, my husband was killed in Afghanistan and I had to sell our house. Even though my heart was broken, I knew I had to downsize. Chasen was recommended by a friend, and he did an excellent job of helping me sell our house and buy another. He was very sympathetic to my situation and was the caring realtor I was looking for. He got the home sold in less than a month and helped us buy the next one simultaneously. He handled all the details and kept in touch with me at least once a week and sometimes, several times a week to make sure I knew exactly what was going on during both closings. Thank you Chasen!
Jessica O.
“I’m a busy mortgage lender and I knew several excellent agents that I’d worked with over the years. I chose Chasen because I had total faith in his abilities. We put the house on the market and left for a vacation in Europe. Chasen warned us that anytime a client goes on vacation, it seems that draws offers. Sure enough, we were in a small town in Germany when a full price offer came in. My cell phone had spotty service there, so I promised Chasen I’d call him every other day to check in. I forgot to call on our 6th day and almost blew a full price offer. Luckily, Chasen was thinking outside the box and called my daughter in Houston because he thought she might have our itinerary. He got us the offer, we signed it and were under contract in less than 2 weeks. I was surprised, but very happy. If you want a great agent, use Chasen."
Arleyne and Joe G.
"My wife and I found Chasen from his neighborhood marketing. He helped us purchase an incredible 6,000 square foot custom home on a golf course. My dream home. He did an amazing job and handled all the details perfectly. When it came time to sell one of my investment properties, I hired Chasen again. The renters had abused the home, but Chasen had a great list of quality vendors that did an excellent job for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend Chasen Chess when you need a great agent."
