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

Leon

Over the past number of years I worked with close to a dozen of Realtors. I can say without hesitation that Chad Basinger proved to be the best. I got to know Chad when I started looking for a retirement condo for my parents. After 7 months of patiently monitoring Chad’s emails with properties that fitted my search criteria (an excellent service by the way), I finally zeroed in on one of the properties. Alas, when I arrived to look at the condo and met Chad there for the first time – the property did not fit my criteria. However, this meeting was not wasted. Chad was well prepared and came with the information about another condo that was for sale in the same complex. That property was much more suitable and we started the offer process that eventually led to a successful purchase. Throughout the whole process, Chad was very helpful with advice and very professional. He was always accessible and very prompt with his responses. I would definitely recommend Chad Basinger as your Realtor.

Heather

I have known Chad since elementary school. When my husband and I decided to start the home search, we did not think twice about using him. Chad’s in-depth knowledge of the real estate market and the desired community, coupled with his professional demure led to the introduction and eventual purchase of our new home. His insight during the escrow process was invaluable. He was with us every step of the way.

Kevin and Johanna

We met Chad Basinger at an open house as we were driving through a neighborhood that we liked in Escondido. We were impressed by his no pressure attitude, friendliness, and genuine personality. Since we began the home shopping process, we toured many open houses and met several realtors – Chad’s qualities are rare in a realtor. Throughout the shopping and buying process, Chad was very accessible and responsive to our phone calls and emails. We never had to wait to hear back from him. He was flexible and accommodating with his schedule to meet our needs. Chad was always enthusiastic to meet us and help us with any questions or concerns we had. His no pressure attitude and patience were especially valuable during the shopping process. Chad offered solid recommendations for a mortgage broker and for home inspectors. We would gladly recommend Chad’s services to anyone looking for a hassle free, smooth, and enjoyable home buying experience.

Brian and Linda

Chad is a first-rate real estate agent. His expertise is broad enough to encompass the full range of needs of a relocating family and deep enough to ensure that a transaction is handled professionally. I have confidence in his negotiating skills, and took his advice -- even when I thought he was being too aggressive. (He was right.) I very highly recommend Chad. More to the point, my daughter is moving to San Diego in the next couple of months and I have recommended that she use Chad to find and purchase her new home. I would not do that unless I had great confidence in his ability and integrity.

Phil and Melissa

Chad was very professional, yet fun, and helped us find a property that meet my criteria, as well as, fulfilled my husband's wish list. When we went out to look at properties, everything was pre-screened and available for a showing when we arrived. As we made our purchase decision, Chad was able to quickly get answers to our property-specific questions. During escrow, he handled the paperwork expertly and made sure the process went smoothly.
