Hear What Clients Say About Will Chase!
Will was such a pleasure to work with, and we are so lucky to have found him! We stumbled upon Will when doing our own home search, and as soon as we got on the phone with him, we knew we wanted to work with him. ... He was well spoken, not pushy at all, and straight forward and educational with his approach. The entire home search process took an entire year, and Will was patient and diligent the entire time. Looking at houses from out of state was stressful, and he helped make it as smooth as possible. Will never hesitated to go to a house for us, take tons of videos and notes, and even talk with neighbors. We had to do many Zoom calls with Will, and we felt comfortable with him being our eyes and ears for properties we couldn't see in person. He knew exactly what we were looking for, and he was very honest with his feedback about each house. He went above and beyond any other realtor I've ever worked with or have heard of. His dedication to finding us the perfect house really worked in our favor because we are so thrilled with our forever home now! Read more

Sold condo and bought single family home. Will was exceptional to work with. He was knowledgeable, available, and very patient to the changing needs/challenges my husband and I threw his way! ... He was thorough, thoughtful, and made a stressful process manageable and pleasant. Under his guidance we sold our condo in 5 days and we’re able to buy a home that we will hopefully live in forever. I highly recommend Will! Read more

Phil is professional at all times. I appreciate his sensitivity to my need to sell my house — the death of my husband. He spoke with my eldest daughter who is very concerned about my wellbeing. ... Moreover, Phil always provided advanced notifications of showings and responses of agents and prospective buyers. His provision of a staging consultant was extremely helpful. The consultant advised me about decluttering my kitchen and bathrooms. Finally, Phil priced my house by comparing it to other homes on the market and that had recently sold in my neighborhood. I was pleased to learn that the bank appraisal was slightly above the price for which my house sold. I am convinced Phil’s knowledge secured the sale of my home. Read more
