Brian Chancellor

ZillowVERIFIED

Brian Chancellor is not only a supremely skilled realtor, gentleman, and fine negotiator, he is also a wizard! We sold a Palo Alto property we'd owned since 1974 through Brian. Unfortunately, we'd had it rented almost all that time and hadn't seen it for about ten years. We needed to sell it to be able to buy a property in Central California, which we had in escrow. To say that our place had fallen into disrepair was an understatement. Brian jumped into the mess with carpenters, and a raft of repairmen, painters, window fixers, cleaners and stagers. It was task that no one would have tackled. He pulled crews off of other jobs so we could meet our escrow timelines. What he achieved was truly a miracle. The house sold promptly and all was well. I would use Brian again in a minute; I just wish he down in SoCal where we live. Thank you, Brian Chancellor!

Brian Chancellor sold my home of over 30 years in downtown Palo Alto. He is the finest personal business partner I've ever had. He took the time to get to know me, my reasons and goals for the sale, and how I've enjoyed my condo. He was clear, concise and honest in answering all my questions about the market, the CA real estate sales process, and his approach to selling.His exceptional knowledge of the market, the likely buyers, staging, and negotiating strategy inspired complete trust, and I was comfortable moving away before my home listed. Brian's total, white glove approach to preparing my home for sale included delivering my furniture to local charity, bringing in an extraordinary team of designers, carpenters, painters, and handymen. And he scheduled all to accommodate my comfort. He brought the same care and detailed attention to marketing brochures, interactions with the condo association, and explanations of contracts and disclosure documents. His thorough, detailed approach to all matters made for a smooth operation from signing contract with him through close of escrow.Brian is direct, honest, gracious, fun, knowledgeable, confident and supportive. It was a pleasure to partner with him.

We couldn't have found a better agent than Brian. Sold a house in Palo Alto for top dollar due to his skills in preparing the house, helping us thru the process, and his negotiation skills. He kept us fully informed and was always available. In addition, he is a thoroughly nice person and a pleasure to work with. We would recommend him without hesitation

Brian is an ace. Total professional and the most personable, trustworthy person in the business. We met Brian when we first moved to Palo Alto, and have loved working with him to buy, sell, and buy homes that were just what we needed when we needed it. He grew up, and lives in the area so he knows everything you could possibly want to know about local real estate. With expert knowledge, and an office completely dedicated to his clients, you won't find anyone better-suited than Brian.

I have had 5 real estate transactions with Brian Chancellor over the last 15 years and couldn't be happier about each outcome. Whether buying or selling, I felt Brian negotiated the best possible deal every time.His professionalism, thoroughness, and expertise in local regulations are all very impressive. As my agent, he ensured my needs were met whether I was buying my first house - with a fairly low budget - or selling my second house as quickly as possible - post divorce . That's what I mean by true professionalism.Also, throughout my working with him, it became apparent that he is highly respected and well-liked by his colleagues in the business - always a benefit as any transaction involves another side.Having grown-up in Palo Alto, he knows all the ins and outs, advantages and draw-back of every area. His most impressive skill yet may be his ability to understand his clients' needs and not waste your time showing properties that do not have any or your "must have" features.I recommend him all the time to people looking for an agent as I truly believe he is a bay area real estate expert on top of being a very easy person to work with.

Brian help us to both buy and 13 years later sell our home in Mountain View. There aren't enough adjectives to describe how great Brian is. He is very knowledgeable and a great advocate for his clients. When we bought our first home, Brian made sure we understood everything about the highly competitive Silicon Valley real estate market. He was highly sensitive to our feelings and our needs throughout the buying process. We bought our home which was ideal in both location and footprint. Brian was always there for us whenever we needed to find someone to help maintain the house. When it was time for us to move on, Brian was again there to make sure we had the best sales experience possible. His attention to detail is unparalleled. Selling your home is fraught with anxiety but Brian was always there for us to make sure that we understood what was happening and what we could expect going forward. The house was fantastically presented, one of the best in the area at the time. We ended up selling above asking with multiple non-continent offers after one weekend of showings. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Brian is simply the best.

Brian is an amazing agent that helps with every aspect of buying and selling your home. We have personally used Brian twice with buying a home and once with selling. What I like about Brian is that he knows all the intricate details involved in such a big purchase. From all the detailed paper work to all the details to look at in a home. I can't say enough good things about Brian and highly recommended him to anyone in the market.
