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

John and April

We were actually able to buy a home in December. Chad was not only the listing agent but successfully represented both parties giving the unique times. I found him to be fair on both ends having to negotiate. All of his referrals were great as well.

John and Jocelyn

We had a less than great experience with a previous real estate agent and weren’t looking forward to finding a new agent to represent us in the purchase of a home. We met Chad at an open house he was hosting, while this particular home was a little outside our price range he appeared to know all about the property and had clearly done all his research on the neighborhood. After meeting a couple of other agents in similar situations, we called Chad and discussed what we wanted. Long story short, we are really happy we met him. Through the whole buying experience (with a pretty grumpy seller) Chad kept us up to speed and always called back when he said he would, even if it was to answer a stupid question. Thanks, Chad!

STOP READING OTHER REVIEWS NOW! You’re wasting your time if you’re searching for another agent! I have personally bought and sold multiple properties with Chad and cannot recommend him enough. Chad worked tirelessly to provide us with world class service and available 24/7. Chad’s wealth of experience and knowledge is guaranteed to provide 100% satisfaction to first time buyers as well as seasoned veterans. Chad is a true professional in every sense of the word and I cannot thank him enough for everything.

Dennis and Kathy

Chad Basinger is the best! Attentive, detailed, thorough and listens to his Clients plans and requests. Excellent Real Estate experience.....

Dale

I had Chad helped me in purchasing my first property. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, responsible and most important, he knows the market really well. He has been here so long that he can easily tell the value and defect of a house, stop you from getting the bad ones, and direct you to the good ones. I've talked with some other agents, and I can tell the difference. I will recommend Chad to anyone I know, and I would like to work with him again when I want to purchase or sell other properties in the next couple of years.

Marc and Hedi

Chad is a wonderful realtor to work with. He has great ideas and is open to new ideas. He helped us buy our house in San Diego county. He was professional, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. I would 100% recommend using Chad for buying and/or selling your home!

Alex and Erin

Chad helped my wife and I find our first home in north county. He was extremely knowledgeable of the market and never stopped working for us until we found the right house. He then did an excellent job negotiating for us to get the best price possible. I would highly recommend Chad for all real estate needs.

Jeremy and Andrea

Chad was amazing to work with. He is professional when needed, casual when needed, and very knowledgeable on all things home-buying. He became a friend through this process and someone we will go back to again and again.

Geoff and Jessica

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 person– highly recommended!

Bob and Valarie

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.

Dan and Sue

Chad is extremely professional and did a fantastic job of setting up the sale of our house. When we told him we were going to move out prior to the house going on the market he didn't blink or question us. He stepped up like no agent I've ever worked with before. He coordinated the major final steps of fixing and cleaning and staging the house without any hesitation or questions. The results of his efforts resulted in many quality offers for our house within a few days on the market. Without Chad's dedication and attention to detail and quality of marketing I don't think our house would have sold as quickly or for as much as we finally received.

Kevin

Chad is very helpful in answering all questions and being patient even when I am a picky individual. He helped me buy my first home and walked me through every step while doing the best outcome for me.

Thomas and Tatiana

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.

Glenn

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.

Ashley

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!

Juan and Sherri

Chad was an absolute pleasure to work with, he was very responsive to our requests and always made himself available. He was very knowledgeable, he put us in touch with expert lenders and was quite patient with our many questions and requests. We would highly recommend Chad as an agent to any of our friends and family.

Nicole and Sean

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........

Tony and Christa

If you are looking to buy, or sell a home you need Chad on your team. Our recent home sale was the smoothest, quickest and most informed real estate experience to date. Chad was knowledgeable and well connected. He kept us up to date on all items and was available for conversations at all times. I highly recommend Chad Basinger for your next home purchase/sale!

Jennifer and Jerry

We recently purchased a home with Chad Basinger representing us. Our experience was so positive, we wanted to share our experience. From the get go, Chad's vast knowledge was apparent-not only did he help us find a house we love but had connections to help insure our fast escrow closed on time. Moving in from out of the area, Chad helped us find a lender, escrow company, home inspector, termite company, homeowners insurance as well as movers. We will definitely use and recommend Chad for any of our future moves. We feel very fortunate to have connected with him.

Kraig and Sue

Best Realtor In Poway. Chad made the sale of our home so easy and seamless. His professionalism and knowledge of the area and the process was impeccable. Highly recommend Chad if you are buying or selling.

Donald and Jane

Excellent Support For ME The Inexperienced! Chad was always believable and trustworthy. The sale of our house to a family member, my wife’s son-in-law, resulted in a first for Chad. The disclosures and all other legal requirements were spot on and pretty easily followed as I hadn’t sold a home in 42years.

Francisco and Assel

Repeat client! We bought our home with Chad, who helped us navigate the area that was new to us at the time and he delivered on all fronts. We loved the home and the neighborhood! So when it was time to sell our home, we knew we would contact him again. We had offers for agent-less sales from Opendoor and Zillow but ultimately were convinced by Chad’s knowledge of the market and ability to pull through. He only had 1 weekend to make it happen and he did, we got our offer and closed in a minimal amount of time. Not to mention how Chad helped us with everything else, going above and beyond to make our cross country move with little kids as smooth as possible.

Viola

Great experience. We would definitely hire Chad as our agent again for our future home and refer him to friends and family members.

Joe and Kathleen

Funny and knowledgeable, Chad is the best! We bought at a time when the market was especially hot and Chad helped us to navigate the quickly changing home market. He has deep knowledge about North San Diego county and as newcomers his knowledge was critical. He was funny and even did some video tours when we couldn't get to a home in person in time. We felt at ease to make a choice that was right for us. I don't think we could have ended up in the home we love without him.

Carlos and Jeanette

Chad was the BEST. Chad Basinger is a very knowledgeable and personable real estate. He helped us find a great a home, in a great neighborhood, during one of the toughest housing market periods in history. He worked with our limited budget, was always available to answer questions, and always gave good advice. We would definitely recommend Chad to anyone who is looking to sell or buy. He is the BEST.
