Ratings & Reviews
Chad is knowledgeable, patient, and genuine. After working with high pressure agents that didn't listen well, Chad was a breath of fresh air. He truly understood what we were looking for. And he helped us get the perfect place for our family. We love Chad!
Chad was absolutely a pleasure to work with through our process of buying our first home. He made the whole experience easy to understand, stress-free and timely! He always made himself available and willing to answer and help with any questions...and we had a lot being first time home buyers. Chad has many years of experience and it is very evident in his work. We always felt like Chad had our best interests in mind and helped us close on the house we love within a 21 day escrow without any issues. I would 100% recommend Chad to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell a home! We never thought our home buying experience would be so seamless...but Chad made it possible.
Chad was a great realtor to work with. Very low pressure. He worked with us for over a year to find our dream home, and never pushed us to settle on something that wasn't right. He felt more like an educated friend than a realtor just trying to make money. During the home buying process he was very available-- on top of everything, texting and emailing us back at all hours whenever we contacted him. He was great!
Chad has helped us sell two homes within the past three years (2014 and 2017). Both times, we sold the homes within the first week and were very pleased with the sales price both times. (He has also helped us buy our most recent home, which proceeded very smoothly.) Chad's greatest virtues are (1) his in-depth knowledge of the house buying/selling process and the markets, (2) his communication skills and pleasant disposition, and (3) his exceptional work ethic. As a result of these attributes, Chad makes the buying/selling process extremely painless and easy. He assembles all of the paperwork and explains, in very plain language, everything that you need to know to understand what's happening. He provides very insightful advice on every aspect of the transaction, but his low-pressure approach gives us the freedom to ultimately make our own decisions. And we never once found ourselves waiting on Chad to complete a task to move the buying/selling process along.....
Our home buying experience with Chad as our agent was painless and completely seamless. I chose Chad as our agent because of his strong knowledge of the markets we were interested in, Poway and Rancho Bernardo. I was completely clueless about who to trust as our lender and Chad gave us several recommendations. The person we chose was completely ethical, competitive, and delivered the loan package on time, as promised. No surprises. When it came time to offer on the home that we eventually bought, Chad gave great advice on how to approach. No corners were ever cut during the process. After the closing, Chad has checked in with us several times and he recommended a trusted floor cleaner (who did a great job) and a handyman who we haven't had a chance to call yet, but we will. I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't want to use Chad Basinger as your next agent. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Very knowledgeable about local markets. Always available, friendly and honest. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Thank you for all your hard work Chad. We really appreciate everything you did for us.
Chad helped me find a wonderful place in the neighborhood and price point I was looking for. He was helpful, responsive and easy to work with. We looked at many places before finding "the one". I was able to close in a very competitive market with Chad's help. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.
We truly enjoyed working with Chad. His communication and professionalism were second to none. We've worked with many agents in the past and our experience with Chad has been our best yet. He cared about our needs and was sensitive to both buyer and seller, handling the negotiation and communication with the skill of a seasoned veteran. We would recommend Chad if you have any real estate needs!
We chose Chad to help us find a large seven-figure new home in Carlsbad, Oceanside, or Vista. He was knowledgeable about all of the areas and patient during our long search. He brings an extensive financial background to the process as well as excellent interpersonal skills and an easy-going personal demeanor. Chad did not find a house, like it himself, and then try to sell us on it; rather, he let us go at our own pace and decide on the trade-offs for ourselves. He was particularly helpful in negotiating the final deal with an unreasonable seller. We would definitely use Chad again!
Chad was an excellent agent. He kept us well informed on every step of the selling process. We highly recommend him whether buying or selling, he is the best.
We actually met Chad on a home purchase we made as he was the sellers agent. We decided to use him on that purchase. He did so well we used him again to sell our home. (Which he sold in 1 day). He knew the area well and always responded to our emails and calls timely. Very professional and would definitely use him again. Thank you Chad!!
When we moved to San Diego for work, we knew nothing about the area. Chad was assigned to us by my husband’s bank and now that we finally have our house I know that we got extremely lucky to have met him. Chad is not only a great realtor and a successful negotiator, he’s also an amazing person. He’s kind, honest, he’s patient, never pushy, he knew well before we did what it is we were looking for and where. We never had to send a reminder or ask him for anything twice, the process was smooth and extremely organized. He made sure he was available for us at all times and we always felt like we were his priority. He has strong negotiation skills, he has detailed knowledge of the real estate market and most importantly understands people and what motivates them. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will definitely use his services again.
We had a great experience working with Chad! He went above and beyond for our family. He made us feel comfortable and always had our best interest in mind. We will definitely work with him in the future.
Chad is amazing to work with. He helped us sell our home over 3 years ago in Torrey Highlands (San Diego). We had moved to Tampa Florida and had been renting out the home for a few years when we decided to sell. He took care of everything. Living all the way in Florida and trying facilitate the sell in California we needed someone we could truly trust and count on taking care of everything and that was Chad. Fast forward to 2019 and we found ourselves moving back to San Diego CA and wanted to buy in La Costa. The market was seller friendly and every nice home that fit what we were looking for would have multiple offers within days thus was extremely frustrating for us. Fortunately we had Chad helping us who found a perfect home that we were able to purchase. We are extremely happy in our new home and owe Chad a huge thank you for making it happen. We would recommend Chad to help anyone with buying or selling every day of the week.
Working with Chad made our home buying experience a genuine pleasure. He helped us find exactly what we were looking for and worked tirelessly throughout the whole process on our behalf. He was always available, extremely knowledgeable and very professional. We felt well represented and would recommend Chad to anyone buying or selling a home. He really does go the extra mile on your behalf.
We could not be happier with our home relocation with Chad as he provided the most comprehensive assessment and service in delivering what we needed in a time crunched period for our move from our home in Poway. His neverending commitment to the whole process, analytic framework upon which he executed a selling strategy, but mostly his deep sense of commitment to the role of our listing agent are what makes him one of the best agents we have been fortunate to have been able to work with. He was attentive to every detail, shared honest and fair evaluations at each decision making step, and was responsive to every one of queries (and there were many) to reassure us that we were heading in the right direction. Most importantly we felt very confident he had our best interests at heart and that he was always working to find the best opportunities for us.
We were fortunate enough to have Chad Basinger as our realtor during our relocation move. He was excellent in his communication skills and responsiveness. Because we were working with a relocation company there were many details that needed to be accomplished and Chad is definitely detail oriented. Nothing got missed and the ball was never dropped. He also walked us through the entire process so that we were prepared for all of the documents and steps we needed to take for a successful sale of our home. I cannot recommend Chad enough. I wish I could give 100 stars...you’re in excellent, seasoned, and competent hands if you work with Chad Basinger.
Chad is the epitome of kindness and perseverance. He has helped us through the process of finding the right house for us and is an expert in handling negotiations and endless paperwork that accompany buying a house. He has never pushed us one way or another. One of his favorite sayings: "At the end of the day, you must be happy" resonates with me because it truly is what he wanted for us, to be happy! Chad never tired of looking at houses with us, in Poway, in Escondido, in Del Mar, in San Diego. He never questioned why we could not decide on one place. Chad knows that the house he helped us buy is "the right fit", and that is exactly what he wanted. He is a selfless and honest hard working person. I recommend him and thank him from the bottom of my heart.
Chad was fantastic. Easy to work with, understood what I was looking for and sought great properties within my price range. In the aggressive real estate market in San Diego, when I found the place I wanted, he ensured it he would make it happen and he did! I got the home I wanted. As a first time buyer, he was very patient with answering all my questions and gave me great resources to ensure a smooth transition with the home buying process. He truly had my best interest at heart. I will absolutely use Chad again in my next home buying experience.
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!!
I've worked with Chad on several different real estate transactions and he's always delivered outstanding support. He knows the market and helps you understand what to expect. Great for a first-time home buyer and anyone with real estate needs in San Diego!
I must be the most high-maintenance person ever but that did not sway Chad even a little bit. He took our calls any time of the day/night 7 days a week while we navigated through the world of real estate. Chad guided us through the problems that arose within the Covid19 era without to many hiccups but most of all he helped us buy our dream home!
Chad was the perfect agent for my family. He was patient, diligent, proactive, timely, professional and knowledgeable about the area. All of that being said, perhaps his biggest asset was being tied-in with the other agents in the area, which allowed him to let us get access to the house (which we ultimately bought) before anyone else did. We will never use another real estate agent. He is stuck with us for the rest of his career!
Chad has always been extremely professional and responsive in all my dealings with him. He is a pleasure to work with and I would recommend him without hesitation.
Chad does a great job and knows his market very well. He is easy to work with and to him there are no silly questions or requests that he won't entertain. He is tireless but doesn't just show everything, he evaluates after listening and works with you to establish your priorities. I highly recommend him as a professional broker.
