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

Sheila

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......

Timothy

Unmatched Realtor. Our experience with Chad was unbelievable. Throughout the flux in the market and interest rates, Chad worked with my wife and I through the pandemic, seamlessly coordinating with listing agents during the challenges that the pandemic brought. My wife and I are admittedly very particular regarding the home we wanted to buy. Chad was also extremely efficient with the requirements of funding a VA loan. We ended up in the perfect house that we are currently enjoying very much.

Robert and Briceyda

We have been working with Chad for years and highly recommend him. We have worked with Chad for many years and over those years have had many transactions. The latest was an ask of Chad to find a home for my Daughter and her family. This ask was a year ago. They were living on the CA Central Coast and had been wanting to move closer to the family here in San Diego North County. The home we were looking to purchase for them needed to be unique and close to us so the ask was going to be very challenging and we knew could take some time. Out of the blue Chad called me to say he found what he thought was the home that met everything we were looking for. He met us at the property that day and it was definitely the one. We put in our offer that night and were successful in closing on the home a month later with my Daughter and her family moving in two days after closing. Having them close to us has brought unimaginable joy to our entire family. We are so lucky to have someone like Chad......

Brandon and Rachel

The best in northeast SD! My family moved down to San Diego back in 2018 and we weren’t sure how long we’d stay. We fell in love with SD and were ready to start the buying process in 2023. After doing research on agents in the NE SD area (Poway, RB, PQ), I met with Chad for coffee to discuss our plans and all things real estate. It was great to know he grew up in Rancho Bernardo, had extensive knowledge of the various neighborhoods, and was well connected. He met my wife and kids 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 weren’t 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....

David and Chanon

Chad is the best! After consulting with several agents, a friend highly recommended Chad, and he proved to be the perfect fit for our family. He represented us in three home sales and expertly guided us through some challenging situations. Chad's sense of urgency and availability around the clock were invaluable throughout the process. Chad's deep knowledge of the local market and step-by-step guidance through the buying process instilled confidence in our decisions. His professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional, and he was consistently patient and supportive. Chad truly understood our needs and never pressured us; we always felt he had our best interests at heart. He was always ready to answer our questions and kept us updated in a timely manner, making sure we were never left uninformed. His exceptional communication skills and professional demeanor made the experience smooth and even enjoyable at times. We wholeheartedly recommend Chad for his outstanding service.

Daniel and Kiersten

Excellent representation for first time home buyers. We had been searching for a new home for about 4 months before meeting Chad and were unable to find a suitable agent. Chad took the time to know us as clients and took our concerns and preferences into consideration before recommending homes. We closed on a new home within 3 months of partnering with Chad and could not be happier with the advocation he provided. We have recommended Chad to a few of our friends, and, should the need arise, would be delighted to work with him again!

Dave and Noelle

Great Experience! Chad is my only call. “We had the pleasure of working with Chad Basinger as our real estate agent, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. As first-time homebuyers, we were navigating unfamiliar territory, but Chad made the process so smooth and stress-free. He was incredibly hardworking, always going above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect home. His knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and commitment to our needs were truly impressive. Chad was always available to answer our questions and provided invaluable guidance every step of the way. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who genuinely cares and will work tirelessly for you, we highly recommend Chad Basinger!”

Nicholas and Meghan

Deserves 10 Stars! Chad is an extremely well rounded agent who brings years of experience to the home buying process. We have used Chad multiple times in the past and always left thoroughly satisfied. I cannot recommend Chad enough!
