Chaz Walters

"There are definite advantages to working with a cutting edge boutique firm like Hot Property. Before Chaz started Hot Property, I always wondered why he would work for someone else when he has all the talent, ideas, follow-through and marketing. Everyone in the Chicago area knows Chaz and Hot Property. My family worked with Chaz to sell their property 10 years ago and we've been committed to working with him ever since. At that time, they had their property listed with another agent (on the market for 8 months) and the agent wanted my parents to sell their house at a low price. My dad knew how much he had invested so he was skeptical. I introduced Chaz to my parents and my dad immediately felt comfortable. Chaz was really ambitious but realistic about what the market could bring them and where they should list their house. Basically he did his homework and was sharp. He instilled a lot of confidence in my parents and in me. Chaz is not just a sales person he is a well rounded business man. He sold my parents' house in two months; he does whatever it takes to get the job done. Since that initial sale our family and friends have all dealt with Chaz many times and have had consistent satisfaction. He is a go getter, and if you want to sell your house, he is the person to go to. You don’t see the same level of passion in other agents. You are just another customer to most agents and you don't see the added value. For example, I recently listed and sold my condo with Chaz. I first sat down with other agents to see what they had to say; they did not even try to get my business. It confirmed my suspicion; other agents lack the same level of smarts, persistence and follow through. How are they going to sell my home if they do not have the persistence and necessary follow through to get my listing? During the 2 1/2 weeks it took to sell my condo, Chaz proactively found my new property. He knew exactly what I wanted and what to ask to fully represent and protect me. It is easy to give your trust to Chaz, he has an incredible understanding of all aspects of his business. When you see all of the marketing and advertising Hot Property offers, sellers know that it’s a bonus that you don’t get from other real estate firms. Coldwell Banker told me they do not believe in doing newspaper ads, when they list your house they only make it available through the listing system. When you hire someone, you want to feel that they are the best in terms of their passion, commitment (100%) and personal investment for your home. A lot of people may think because Chaz is famous, he is not accessible – Nothing is further from the truth. When Chaz takes your home and lists it, you feel like it is the only property in the City, like it is the most important home he has listed. He is also always at the forefront of technology and communications – he's fully wired. He probably gets 3 hours sleep a night because he is so pumped about what he does. That’s the agent you want behind you. I would recommend him to anyone, and would never use anyone else. I considered by owner, but feel it is well worth the value to work with Chaz. The value of listing with Hot Property is tremendous, from advertising to follow up calls to proper notice on open houses to valuable market information and a high level of contact throughout the process from the company. Hot Property also has credible contacts in every area from moving to mortgages. I could not say enough about Chaz Walters and Hot Property for any aspect you are doing in Real Estate"
