Craig Chastain – Next Level Realty

When I came to united state, I have told, be careful of real estate agents and car dealers!!!
But I should say that is not always true. I never get a chance to meet Craig Chastain myself, I was extremely lucky to find him, not because he was my broker! Because I was able to experience that still we can find a real gentleman, honest, reliable, ethical, reasonable, knowledgeable, fair, professional,… Human being in the world. He was always available to answer my questions even he didn’t work for me by the time, since I live in Arizona, he tried to find me an attorney, giving me some knowledgeable advice, regarding my bad tenant…
I asked him to sale my house, not only he didn’t charge me for the average cost but also he contributed some portion of his commission to us basically he worked for free!
He went above and beyond to help me. Can’t say enough about his personality and ethics.
I will highly RECOMMEND him.
Thank God for introducing Craig to me.

Craig is a real estate good luck charm. Within the first week of contacting him, I not only put in an offer to my dream condo, but also had my offer (which was well below asking price) accepted. My experience working with him as a first time homeowner was extremely pleasant, and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in search of a realtor in the Rancho and surrounding area. Craig is extremely professional and courteous. Every time I contacted him via email, text, or phone call, he always responded within an hour. As a first time homeowner, I was often confused by all the real estate jargon, and felt very overwhelmed at times. Anytime I had a question or needed clarification, Craig would explain the process to me in terms I could understand. In addition, he is a strong advocate for his clients. On more than one occasion, Craig advised me against offers/​suggestions made by the selling party because he did not feel it was in my best interest. It is apparent that he truly loves what he does, and genuinely seeks to help his clients with the home-​buying process. Go with Craig for your real estate needs, you won’t be disappointed!

I was lucky to find Craig after working with ½ dozen real estate professionals. Not that I was picky but here’s my 2 cents on agent personalities–
1. Wannabe– new entrants to eager not much experienced
2. Experienced but selfish — they are Million Dollar producers after 2 – 3 showings if you do not give offer they get disinterested,
3. Not good listeners– can’t read buyer’s needs.
I was looking to buy in Rancho area almost for 1 and half years. I had full-​fledged Approval letter not prequalified or other types. Thus agent need not have anxiety if buyer is going to bet qualified. That is the first exercise one should do to motivate agents. My must have list was short– 1. Above baseline, near good schools– Osos/​Alta Loma, Small yard especially front, preferably built after 1980 and my price limit. Waiting helped, prices came down and luck played part too when our offer was accepted.
Here are 10 reasons why you must let Craig work for you–
Craig never forced me in to writing an offer. You will be surprised but there were agents who were making me write offer on trashy houses around foothill close to railway tracks or go little over my budget.
We agreed especially on the houses that did not deserve offer.
Craig hardly ever got lost searching a property because he and his wife knows area well as they are local.
Craig worked with my schedule including weekends.
Crunch time came when offer was accepted and Escrow-​Wells Fargo and selling agent needed to be on the same plane. Selling agent was threatening lender to call off the deal when Wells managed to fund it on the last day inked in the contract. That is when Craig provided needed hand-​holding.
Many times agents do not do their home work and house keys don’t work or there are no keys to show the house. With Craig it never happened, Craig could find and work the keys of houses we were going to see.
I used my own Independent Inspector to check the house before giving offer and Craig was alright with it– thus there was no conflict of interest.
Seller’s side– After Sale Service– On each anniversary I get colored print-​outs from Craig showing Market Analysis– how much my house has increased in price in case I want to sale. I already know when I am in the Market for selling — Craig will be the guy I will trust.
It is reasonable to expect promptly returned phone calls, clear communication and honest opinions.
Experienced in the Market–
Focused on your interest. When you tell him above baseline between Haven and Carnelian– that is what he will show you.

Craig Chastain is a great real estate agent. I have worked with him for many years and his professionalism is second to none. He goes above and beyond to accommodate his clients needs and helps guide them through the home buying and selling experience with expertise and ease. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to deal with a grade A real estate agent.

Craig the friendliest and most helpful real estate agent out there. He simply anticipates the needs and takes actions. Many times he does things like he was buying instead of me. He constantly goes the extra step.
He responds really fast to emails and available on phone all the time. Working with him was great.

It was my good fortune to have found Craig. Not only did he go above and beyond the call of duty in helping us purchase our home, he has continued to make himself available for questions and assistance over a year later. I would highly recommend him and look forward to the next opportunity we have to work together.

Whevever you call Craig, he’s ready and available and willing to help you out. The nicest part is he’s the boss so you’re actually hearing the info from the person who knows what’s what and not from a minion.
I was constantly in contact with Craig as we were on our last home search and he always had helpful information for us.
Even though we decided not to move at that time, i’ll be in contact with Craig and his team again shortly.

Craig is the best realtor i could have asked for. He went WAY out of his way and beyond his minimal requirements as a realtor to make sure that our first-​time-​home-​buying experience was perfect. With every hiccup down that bumpy road of buying a home, he always had a great solution. Viewing homes that were not near my at-​the-​time current residence was made a lot easier than one would expect to be. Very personable. He got to know my family. He became a friend. I bought my home two years ago, and to this day, I know I can pick up the phone and call him for anything, pertaining to the house, or not. Look no further… he’s your guy!

I have been working with Craig for a few months now and it has given me the opportunity to see first hand how he handles his clients. Not every real estate agent is a real estate professional, but Craig certainly is!
He pays close attention to his clients and is completely engaged throughout the transaction. I really do recommend him as a trustworthy real estate agent. You will be happy to have him representing you!
