About Arthur Chapman

I am a 4th generation Newporter, the great grandson of Patrick James Fagan who built most of the homes on Carroll Avenue in the heart of the 5th Ward in Newport. I moved to NYC in 1986 to follow my dream of being a professional actor, which turned into a career in real estate. I moved back home in 1994 and in 2005 I started my own real estate brokerage. I sold my interest in the William Raveis franchise in 2007 and now am the Team Leader of the Aquidneck Team serving all of RI and southeastern MA. I have lived in Portsmouth since 2000 and also operate Wynham Farm Sanctuary, a small farm sanctuary with my wife, Meredith.

Responsive and attentive to detail. Arthur guided a family with numerous members through the sale of the family home. He was professional and respectful to all circumstances. It was a smooth transaction due in large part to his advice.

I have purchased two properties with Arthur and in both cases I felt completely secure in the process and results. Arthur seemed to have special insights into real estate and I felt that we were always ready for overcoming any obstacles with ease. From listing to closing and beyond, Arthur knew exactly what to do. The respect and standing he has with real estate people, attorneys, contractors and the entire community served us well. I couldn't have chosen a better agent. Since then, I have recommended Arthur to friends who listed and sold their house with Arthur. We're still friends! They emphasize that the sale went quickly and smoothly and they felt that they received the best price for their home. They also felt confident that the entire process was orderly, honest, and effective in achieving their goal. They call Arthur a friend now and will recommend him to others. Best wishes in you real estate project, Dennis Bristow

From our first meeting,Arthur,was knowledgeable, proactive with our requests, timely with his process, in control of the process ( given I was an overseas purchaser and had not purchased property in the USA before). An excellent choice of agent. I now consider Arthur a friend. James Day

Arthur is a man of professional integrity and personal sensitivity who never hesitates to do the right thing -- even when it isn't necessarily the easiest thing. His data-driven approach combined with his grace and decency makes him a winning combination for anyone weighing the serious matter of buying and/or selling real estate. I recommend him unequivocally.

Arthur Chapman and the folks that work for him are extremely professional and knowledgeable. As a seller that lived out of state he and his team was on the ground and keeping us informed all throughout the process. We relied heavily on Arthur and he came through every time. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell in Newport, RI

Arthur was a wonderful person to work with. We really didn't know much about the community or the best way to bid on a house. Arthur lead us through the process and always looked out for our interest. He was someone we could consult with when we were uncertain how to proceed or we knew what we wanted but didn't know the best way to go about it. We recently closed on a house and asked Arthur if he could continue to be available to us. Without hesitation he said yes and understood all the myriad of things we would need to know as we go ahead with our life in Newport.

Arthur Chapman is the best. We needed someone with experience, knowledge, AND a sense of humor during our relocation to Rhode Island. I would highly recommend him.

Arthur was great. We had less than a year to sell a home to settle an estate and had received very depressing evaluations from other agents. Arthur was realistic, positive and helped us every step of the way. He knew the area extremely well, did plenty of research and knew exactly what the home would sell for. His advice during the "fix up" stage was extremely helpful and saved us quite a bit. I highly recommend Arthur.
