Brent Johnson was great through the whole process of listing, getting the property ready and finding a buyer. Brent was also great in keeping me informed through the whole process I would definitely utilize Brent in the future and recommend him for anyone looking to list and sell a property in the area.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I worked with Brent to purchase a vacation home in South Lake Tahoe 6 years ago and he did a great job. However, we used him to sell the same home in the summer of 2026, and working with Brent through the entire listing process was a complete disaster. He was unappreciative that we used him due to a 2% commission we mutually agreed on, and this became evident immediately AFTER we signed the listing agreement with him. Communication was nearly nonexistent as we had to chase him down for basic updates at key points in the transaction (offer date, buyer's contingency removal date, inspections, etc). He also did not hold ANY open houses the first weekend our property was listed, losing valuable interest and momentum from potential buyers, and complained in the most unprofessional manner when he was asked to be present for a single open house for our property. He repeatedly complained about his commission, was completely unorganized at every stage of the process, and destroyed value for us as he was either incapable or unwilling to negotiate or push back on anything the buyer's agent requested. Without exaggerating, the buyer got every single thing they requested, including thousands of dollars in credits from us and a host of other requests that cost us considerable time and money, many of those requests being completely unreasonable. I can't think of a single thing Brent was able to get for US or even push back on that we didn't have to provide for the buyer due to his lack of negotiation skills and pure carelessness/laziness. It felt like we were negotiating against him and the buyer the entire time. If anything, he was a mere messenger who would literally forward offers and requests from the buyer for our approval without reviewing them, and without providing any context or value, or even speaking to the buyer's agent. If you are considering working with Brent, this is a word of caution not to take his word for anything, and to have every single thing he promises outlined in the listing agreement, along with a cancellation clause. His work ethic and attitude completely changed the moment we signed the agreement, and many things we were promised were never delivered, including: polished brochures to market our home vs generic flyers, a drone video of the property for marketing, photos of key features of the home like the hot tub and 3-car garage, basic things like holding an open house the first weekend our property was listed, and most importantly, an agent who will work hard to get us the best possible result. Working with Brent resulted in the property not being marketed as promised, getting an offer well below our asking price despite listing on the low end of what he said our house was worth, and the buyer getting every single thing they demanded with no pushback. The way this transaction was handled crossed the line from pure carelessness to negligence, and I absolutely would not recommend working with Brent. He is a liability to his clients and will say anything to get your business, but once that agreement is signed, you can expect him to do the bare minimum with no concern for the cost it will have on you. All he cares about is getting his commission at the end of the day, and the way our transaction was handled was unprofessional and unethical. Brent, if a 2% commission was insufficient to secure your full commitment, we would have preferred you decline the listing initially. Had we anticipated this level of service, we would have chosen alternative representation as there are many hard-working, capable agents in the South Lake Tahoe area. In the future, we advise transparency with prospective clients regarding your expectations and level of commitment. Accepting the responsibility of selling a home requires a dedicated professional commitment, and the results delivered in this instance fell significantly short of acceptable standards, making the process more stressful while costing us considerable time and resources to compensate for your lack of effort.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrent exceeded our high expectations. He was referred to us from a neighbor that helped him buy his home years ago. Brent had a firm knowledge of the neighborhood and after interviewing a couple of agents we decided to use Brent this Home? had been in our family for 37 years and it was an emotional bittersweet moment for us and Brent was patient and understanding. In just seven days, Brent brought us seven offers and our price expectations were exceeded and we could not have been more thrilled. If youre considering any agent in the South lake Tahoe area do yourself a favor and consider Brent Johnson.

ZillowVERIFIEDHighly recommend Brent Johnson and his team at Chase International for anyone buying in South Lake Tahoe. Brent was flexible with scheduling, calm and steady through mortgage and HOA challenges, never pushy, and incredibly helpful even after closing with contractor referrals and local connections. A true professional who goes above and beyond.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrent worked with me and my husband for over 4 years to find a house that was just right for us. Not only did he show us properties we found ourselves but also additional properties that may have suited our needs and was often available without much notice to take us around. As he is a native to this area, Brent's knowledge of South Lake Tahoe was very helpful to us when looking at various areas. I highly recommend contacting Brent to navigate any real estate help you may need. Thank you, Brent!

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen we decided to sell our condo we looked up Brent Johnson, Chase Realty, as we bought it through him 14 years prior. Brent is fantastic with follow through and keeping us informed of market data throughout the entire process. He is very knowledgeable of the Tahoe market and shares that information with his clients. I would definitely use him for listing or buying in Lake Tahoe. Steve and Elaine Thomas"

ZillowVERIFIEDBrent and Dana Johnson were beyond helpful in all our real estate needs. We were recommended to use them and were quick to respond and set up multiple viewings for us in a short notice. They were extremely professional and super fast at getting our questions and concerns answered. They were work quickly and stayed on top of the sellers agent, who was very slow to respond. They made the real estate transaction so convenient and easy. They went above and beyond their duties to ensure an issues with the property was taking care of prior to closing. I couldnt be more pleased with using them and would gladly recommend them to my friends and family or anyone else looking for an agent.

Review for Member: Brent Johnson
ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently sold our lake view townhouse at Lakeland Village. Having lived in South Lake Tahoe for 24 years, we had heard of Brent Johnson and were aware of his reputation as Tahoes Best Selling Agent but had never met him. When they heard we were selling, two guys at the gym said, synchronously, aEURoeOh, youve got to go with Brent JohnsonaEUR?. We met with him at our unit. We had expected an element of self promotion. There was none. Rather he focussed on Lakeland Village, our unit in particular, and our needs. As a lifelong resident of South Lake Tahoe, Brent knew Lakeland Village inside out. Sellers are obviously biased by their affection for their own property but it quickly became clear that listening to Brent was far smarter than trying to guide him. He knows the market and what people want. He is honest and affable. Born and raised here, his contacts within the community are strong and enduring. As well, he has broad access to outside investors. We gave him the listing and did what he told us to do regarding a few minor repairs, inspections, etc. If fact, he coordinated everything and left no burden to us. Out the gate, he set up light staging (Cynthia -excellent!), had great photos taken, an expansive marketing program in progress and immediate open houses. Within days, we had multiple offers at and above the listing price. Then he navigated the nuances and hitches of escrow through the final closing. Brent is highly intuitive and hed answer all of our questions before wed even ask them. Throughout, his equanimity was so reassuring. Brent and his wife Dana are a team. They are so easy to work with and their talents are evident. Actually, they are aEURoegiftedaEUR? and I rarely use that adjective. Bottom line is the buyers got a great place. Incidentally, though a sellers agent in our case, Brent showed great concern for the buyers needs as well as ours. Thats remarkable. Howard Friedman M.D.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis is going to sound a lot like the other reviews of Brent (and Dana) so apparently they are very consistent at pleasing their clients. We inquired about a property Brent had listed, but was already pending. He was very prompt in getting in touch with us even though the property was under contract. A few days later we spotted another property and decided to call Brent for information. He was very forthright in helping us avoid properties he knew had issues, and like the others have said, very communicative and prompt. This was our 4th home purchase of our lives, and Brent was by far the best agent we've had. And 2 of the others were friends or family of friends. That says a lot I think. Will not think twice to have Brent list our home when the time comes and will refer the new friends we hope to make in Tahoe .

ZillowVERIFIEDMy mind was completely blown by Brent and his team when we purchased our vacation home. All I can say is....wow. Brent was incredibly friendly, responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. First, talking and working with Brent almost seemed like we were friends. From my first email to this day, Brent was always super chill and friendly; still helping me answer questions even after closing. Second, Brent, knowing how busy he is, was very responsive via email, text and phone. He somehow always made time to respond and explain things to us that we didnt understand with patience and calmness. Third, his professionalism was through the roof. His service made us feel like he rolled out the red carpet for us! Finally, Brent was extremely knowledgeable. Going with Brent you are really getting the complete total package: former general contractor, Tahoe native, and real estate extraordinaire. Everything you would want in an agent when looking for any type of property! We cannot thank Brent enough and will definitely keep in touch!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrent Johnson sold my South Lake Tahoe home and I five stars isn't enough stars to weight what Brent did for me. I couldn't be more appreciative! He led me every step of the way from what I needed to execute before listing to each step after it was listed. I always knew what to expect so I could prepare and he supplied feedback after every showing so I could make adjustments. It's so obvious that Brent is incredibly bright and competent, but more; it was obvious he cared about me and my outcome. Brent is a lifetime resident of South Lake Tahoe and knows this market inside, out. If you're interested in buying or selling in South Lake Tahoe do yourself a favor and talk to Brent. You'll be happy you did!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe used Brent to sell our Tahoe home. We chose him because of his record of selling a large number of high-end homes South Lake Tahoe. Outstanding expertise and service. Brent always went the extra mile to make the process of a long-distance house sale go smoothly. He thought of all of the little things at every point along the way and earned every penny of his commission.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrent was great, the ultimate in professionalism. We have bought and sold many homes, and Brent is clearly one of the best. He was very patient as we looked at many houses over a period of many weeks, never pushy in any way. We changed our minds at least 10 times on what we wanted in a home, and he just adapted and we moved forward. Brent grew up here and obviously knows the area and the market. He was a wealth of information that helped us in deciding what neighborhood, what features, etc. to focus on. When it came time to do the deal, he clearly knew all the documents and was able to prepare an offer package in less than 30 minutes. We appreciated his advice through the negotiation process and feel that we arrived at a fair deal. Very important to us is that Brent was on top of every detail, every deadline, every form, every step in the process of getting through escrow. We closed on time with no surprises and little anxiety. Even after the sale, Brent gave us referrals for local trusted contractors. I'm sure he would help in any way he can, even several years down the road. We are new to Lake Tahoe, and I feel like we have a trusted friend in the area in Brent. I would highly recommend Brent Johnson to anyone. Five stars!!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrent was fabulous from start to finish and even after the sale. He was incredibly knowledgeable about South Lake Tahoe, housing construction in general, and the market. He is smart, personable, honest, trustworthy, and hard working. His prior experience as a contractor/builder was invaluable in evaluating homes to buy. He was incredibly responsive at all times on phone, text, and email. He dealt with the seller's agent masterfully and was a perfect diplomat. He helped get us the house of our dreams for the price we wanted to pay. He also saw a difficult sale process through until the end. Even after the sale there were issues that arose that he helped out on. He was incredibly generous with his time. We can't recommend Brent enough.
