Chad Basinger

Exceeding client expectations isn’t just my goal—it’s what drives me every day. Born and raised in beautiful San Diego, I graduated early from UCSB with a B.A. in Business Economics and an emphasis in Accounting. I began my professional journey at Ernst & Young (EY LLP), where I earned my CPA license before heading to Wall Street, gaining over a decade of high-level financial experience. In 2007, I pivoted into real estate—where business savvy meets personal connection. Along the way, I also became a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), bringing a rare financial perspective to every transaction. Whether you're buying or selling, relocating, or investing, I bring a strategic edge to the table with deep market knowledge and sharp marketing skills. I'm proud to serve clients across San Diego County and have been recognized as the top-producing individual agent at Windermere Homes & Estates in 2020 and 2021, as well as a Circle of Excellence Award winner every year since its inception. I'm also a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) and a relocation expert who thrives on helping people navigate major transitions with confidence. Outside of work, you’ll find me on the golf course, the tennis court, or traveling with my amazing wife and our three incredible kids (though real estate still sneaks into just about every conversation—just don’t tell them!). Let’s make your next move your best one yet.

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.

Chad is an excellent realtor in all aspects of buying and selling a home. He is very knowledgable and takes pride his work. Anyone that chooses Chad will NOT be disappointed.

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.

Susan Haviland

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.

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.

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.

Joe And Kathleen Hillenbr

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 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.

Viola H.

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

Billy And Petra

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.
