About

Exceeding clients' expectations is my passion. I am a native San Diegan, graduated from UCSB early with a B.A. in business economics and emphasis in accounting. I worked at EY LLP, for 2 years and earned my CPA license. Then I worked on Wall Street for 10+ years. I attained my real estate license in 2007, and my Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) license. I have business savvy and marketing prowess to handle all transactions. I represent buyers/sellers throughout San Diego County. I am a relocation specialist, CRS, and was the top producing individual agent for all of Windermere Homes and Estates in San Diego for 2020/2021. I have received the Circle of Excellence Award every year since inception. Although I keep my CPA and CFP® licenses active, real estate is my full time profession. I happily have to abide by 3 different codes of ethics, so you know you are working with a reputable agent. I enjoy golf, tennis, travel, and exercise. I have an amazing wife and 3 adorable kids.

Ratings & Reviews

Billy and Petra

Exceeded our expectation. Chad recently supported us in relocating from Washington State to California. 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.

Kyle and Margaret

Great experience working with Chad. Chad's knowledge, experience and advice navigated us through the selling process without any hitches. Everything went smoothly. It was a pleasure and we highly recommend him.

Allan and Peggy

Great experience selling our home! We knew Chad socially for a few years but when we met with him to discuss selling our home we were so impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He came very prepared with information so we could make some important decisions. Chad gave us great advice all through the process and could not do enough to help us have a positive experience. We would highly recommend him to anyone considering selling their home.

Erik and Christine

Chad got it sold fast!: very professional, well polished, and very detail oriented. We relocated 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. 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

Chad was awesome! We had a great experience working with Chad. He was recommended to us by our best friends. Chad was friendly, knowledgeable, patient and always available. We started searching for a home shortly after Covid. The market exploded and we had to stop searching for awhile due to so much competition. Chad never gave up on us. He checked in periodically until we were ready to start our search again. Fast forward over a year and a half later Chad was ready at a moments notice. He was expeditious in getting us any information or insight we needed for properties that popped up in the market. Sometimes we would veer off track due to limited inventory. I remember wanting to see a property (in our price range) that only had 1 bathroom… All he had to say was, “are you sure you’re ok with just 1 bathroom”? Comments like that from Chad would steer us back in the right direction so we didn’t settle on the things that mattered most in our home search......
