ZillowVERIFIEDChris Chin was recommended to us by a friend we trust. Chris has since become a friend we trust. We were selling our home due to a death in the family. Our grief was high, our capacity low and Chris stepped in and guided us through the whole processaEUR| which was incredibly smooth due to him. I could speak at length about all the many details he handled so well and his wisdom navigating the market, his communication skills and working with all the people, the multiple offers and quick closing, etc. He is genuine, knowledgeable, trustworthy and superb at his job. Chris was a gift to our family, we couldnt be more grateful. Simply said, if you need to buy/sell a home, call Chris.

ZillowVERIFIED When it comes to agents who go beyond their call of duty for finding the right home- Chris is your person. He knows how much working with our family to find a new home. It was like he was reading my mind when it came to ideas for how to structure the loan and how to make sure we could get the best deal. Chris is an agent who does not turn off his phone at the end of the work day. He always makes sure to have your best interest at heart. If you are buying or selling- Give Chris your first option..

ZillowVERIFIED I would recommend Seaside Realty to my closest friends and family. Chris, the owner, is amazing. It took us a few years to find a house we liked and could afford, but he was never impatient with us. He knew exactly what we were looking for, and he never gave up on us, sending us properties he thought we would like. He always went the extra mile, doing extra research into neighborhoods, as well as possible risk factors, like landslides, etc. Unlike so many realtors, he was never pushy, and he never seemed to be in it to make a quick sell. In fact, various times he warned us against properties because he felt they weren't safe or had other issues. When we wanted to stop looking for a while, he understood. Even when we decided to pull out of an offer we had accepted, he was patient and understanding. He really felt like a friend who had our best interests at heart. I never thought I'd be a homeowner, but Chris really made it happen for us. I've seen a lot of agents out there, when we were looking at homes for YEARS, and Chris is by far the most down to Earth, most honest, most friendly, the most real. I remember thinking how other agents seemed so creepy and out for the sale. Chris put us at ease. We completely trusted him and feel so lucky to have found him. I really can't recommend him highly enough!

ZillowVERIFIED Chris was excellent during the entire process of our home sale. He even kept in contact with our out of state realtor, in keeping her in the loop of the entire process. Truly amazing.

ZillowVERIFIED I have worked with Chris for over eight years and he has done a great job of selling the three properties I listed with him. He has a top notch level of professionalism and knowledge. He helps with challenges and stressful part with a great attitude and retains his sense of humor. He focuses on finding the right thing to do and does what it takes to get things done. He not only looks for the win-win situations, he makes sure they happen. You could not hope for a better agent.

ZillowVERIFIED As far as Chirs Chin is concern, theres not a betiter agent / broker I could have had to handle our real estate transactions. Mr Chin took his time to explain what he expected the end results to be upon the completion of the selling of our Condo. The skillful selling techniques utilized by Mr Chin resulted in way more than what was expected. We were well informed on each step of the selling process and he was always available to respond to our questions. Thank you again Mr Chin for a job well done.

ZillowVERIFIED As first time home buyers Chris walked us through the process and answered all our questions. He was knowledgeable about the market and different cities in Ventura County. He went above and beyond when trying to negotiate for us. We highly recomend Chris! He made the home buying process a pleasant one and found us a house in our preferred area.

ZillowVERIFIED I had the pleasure of working with Chris Chin to find my family's perfect forever home. Chris was very knowledgeable of the neighborhoods/schools, and took the time to understand our needs to match us perfectly with the right home. He was a fantastic liaison with the seller/agent and represented us very well. At no time during this process did I ever wonder if I could be doing more as I felt Chris looked out for my family's interest and every little detail in between.

ZillowVERIFIED I'm so happy and thankful that I got to work with Chris and his team at Seaside Realty buying my first home in Ventura. His guidance and patience was priceless. From the first phonecall, I liked and trusted Chris, and this only grew through the process. He is such a genuine, amazing person that has a ton of experience and contacts to navitage the process of buying a home, so very communiciative and transparent. He never looses his cool and is super-solutions orientated, even with the little ups and downs we experienced working through a non-tradional property and a 1031-exchange. I can not more highly recommend his services and him as a person, I would both grab a beer with him and 100% trust him with any future purchases. Thank you Seaside!

Review for Member: Chris Chin
ZillowVERIFIED We cannot say enough good things about Chris. We were in the market for a home at the beginning of the pandemic, and Chris was still able to meet us and show us homes in a safe manner. He suggested a few homes to us based on our preferences, and ultimately we did find one that was perfect! However, as first-time homebuyers, we were lost, confused and very worried that we would make a huge mistake that could cost us time and money. Chris helped us along the entire way - organizing inspections, answering the immense amount of questions we had, clarifying every term that we didn't understand,A offering advice about what is more important/less important when it comes to negotiation, and helping us understand the mortgage loan and escrow process. He is very friendly, experienced, and fun to work with. He was also very available and responsive for which we are very appreciative. With his help, we were able to buy our dream home and it was not at all difficult like what I have heard from my friends. It was fast, smooth, painless, and actually enjoyable! We closed on time, and have been very happy! We would highly recommend working with Chris!

ZillowVERIFIED Chris did a great job! Sold my property in less than three weeks. The advice received from Chris put this seller at ease. Signage, staging, and very effective open house events were all accomplished in just a few days. Chris always made sure that I understood what was going on, what the options and possibilities were, and helped me make the best choice. I am so very appreciative of Chris, a kind, honest, patient guy with a family. He is also a true Real Estate Pro!

Review for Member: Chris Chin
ZillowVERIFIED Chris was a God send. We met with numerous Agents before deciding on Chris, including one who advised us that she was the "number one realtor in the County for X years running". But my wife and I weren't interested in working with someone who was more interested in their own achievements but, instead with someone that was going to be more concerned with OUR achievements. Enter Chris. Working with Chris was amazing. Chris was very informative and always available. His personality really made my wife and I feel comfortable and easy about the entire home buying process. It was like working with a close friend or family member. We cant imagine buying our home without Chris.

ZillowVERIFIED When buying our home, Chris was an amazing asset. He knew the nuances of our neighborhoods, knew the best prices, and helped us get our home for less than we were expecting. He was always in communication with us and very involved in all aspects of our purchase, always representing our best interests. And he's a super nice and friendly guy to boot! Can't recommend him highly enough!

Review for Member: Chris Chin
ZillowVERIFIED I instinctively liked Chris when I first met him at an open house. He is honest, sincere, hard working, knowledgable and professional. We were looking for someone we felt we could trust and who would be able to guide us through the process of preparing and selling our Townhome. He was so helpful and went beyond the call of duty to make sure our questions were answered. He advised us about which were the most important features for us to upgrade prior to selling and he even met the contractors/workers at the house so that I didn't have to miss as much work. We wound up getting several bids the first weekend our home was listed and accepted a bid that was above our asking price. We would definitely recommend Chris as a realtor and would pick him again. He was a pleasure to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Chris worked with us for a while to find our perfect home and when we finally found it he worked extremely hard on our behalf. He negotiated his butt off for us. Something that I really appreciated is how he dealt with us during the offer process, helping us "stick with our plan". He was great and I can't recommend him enough.

His prompt responses to late night last minute texts, his knowledge of the market and his professionalism and commitment to us were all greatly appreciated. We always felt as though Chris was our advocate throughout the process and that he actually cared about our needs. We strongly recommend and will use Chris Chin in the future for all of our real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Seriously, could not recommend Chris Chin highly enough!! Knowledgeable, honest, responsive, patient, funny, respectful, kind yet firm when you need it. Another unique asset that was helpful for us is that he had great remodel/design ideas and knowledge. I was on the MLS email list and would contact him immediately whenever I saw a house we were interested in. We went to see A LOT of houses and he was never pushy or made us feel that he had any other agenda than to help us find our dream home... and once we did, his fantastic negotiation skills got us the price we wanted! So happy we found him.

ZillowVERIFIED We are new to the area and contact Chris Chin with Seaside Realty after reading his reviews online. We were NOT disappointed! Chris took the time to meet with us to discuss what type of style, size, and location of home we were searching for. Chris has great knowledge of the area and offered several options during our 3 month search. We considered new construction and preexisting homes. Chris was constructive, informative and detailed of the homes we looked at. He really went out of his way to compare pros and cons of each house and answered all of our questions, which some were rather task oriented. In the end, we found the perfect home for us and we are very please that we found Chris Chin to endure our specific taste and we would highly recommend Chris Chin with Seaside Realty.

Review for Member: Chris Chin
ZillowVERIFIED Like many people, I went online to search for a real estate broker. I read the good reviews on Chris. I liked the fact that he's educated, a family man and has his own business. This told me that he was more than likely a go-getter. I was right. Chris is an excellent real estate broker. He takes pride in his work. He is very responsive and professional. During my home buying, he fulfilled all my requests and expectations. In fact, the home that I bought had an offer on it. Chris and I went in strong and the owner accepted our counter offer. I was delighted. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Chris to family and friends. I wish you the best Chris in your continued success.

ZillowVERIFIED I have to give Chris Chin five stars for all categories. He is knowledgeable, sharp, motivated, and integral. He goes above and beyond in every aspect of his job. I am a first time home buyer and he was my agent during this time. Chris is an excellent communicator. He demonstrated this by keeping me up to speed during the process without making me feel overwhelmed. Also, he worked very well with my home loan representative (who he had never worked with before me) and this ensured an extremely efficient escrow process. I highly recommend Chris and his team at Seaside Realty for any of your realty needs.

Review for Member: Chris Chin
ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I decided to put both of our condos on the market at the same time. We used Chris Chin as our realtor because we had such a wonderful experience with him a few years prior when we had purchased the condos. Not knowing what to expect as a seller, Chris explained the whole process to us and helped us to prepare the condos for listing. Just three days after the properties posted to the real estate websites, we were in escrow on both properties; Chris Chin made this happen! Chris is incredibly responsive, persistent, and thorough. Not only is Chris creative and can help identify great opportunities that others might overlook, but he is flexible and really goes above and beyond to serve his clients throughout the entire process. Chris knows the aEURoeins and outsaEUR? of the real estate market because he continues his research throughout the entire process. He is professional, resourceful, and extremely diligent. Two big thumbs up for Chris! We look forward to working with him for future real estate transactions.

Review for Member: Chris Chin
ZillowVERIFIED Chris is simply fantastic and I recommend him to all friends and family looking (or even thinking) to buy or sell a home. Chris is someone that you can trust is looking out for your interests rather than his own or anyone else. He takes the time to ensure the complete satisfaction of his clients, because who wants to worry about buyers remorse after buying a home! When my wife and I bought our home, Chris encouraged us to modify our bid in order to have the bank cover a bunch of costs, which they agreed to and ultimately saved us $15k because of his knowledge of the industry and market. Not only is he knowledgeable and trustworthy, he's a really warm guy and a joy to be around... no pressure tactics or hurried meetings, just authentic concern for his clients. He's my real estate guy for life!

ZillowVERIFIED Finding a fairly good realtor that is not overly concerned about costs or finding you the perfect home for your family is not difficult. Finding a great one that you want to work with again and again is not easy. My wife and I feel so blessed to of been able to work with Chris. He went above and beyond time and time again until we found the perfect home. If your looking for someone who really has your interests in mind, is an excellent communicator, is great to work with, and is all around awesome, then look no further. If your thinking about buying or selling a home, get in touch with Chris today. It will be one of the best choices you can make, I guarantee it.

ZillowVERIFIED Although the purchase did not go through, the fault was on my end. Chris did everything---genuinely thought outside the box--to try and come up with ways to make it happen. He was pleasant, courteous, and he clearly knew his stuff. I especially liked the way he treated all his clients fairly and with equal attention. I was trying to purchase one of the low-end houses (for this market), but he made me feel as valuable as the guy who was looking at the $750,000 house.

ZillowVERIFIED I was fortunate to have talked to Chris when I decided to sell my house. He brought in buyers and a deal was made before the house was even listed! Chris did a good job representing me (and the buyers) as a dual agent, and was resourceful working through issues to facilitate closing escrow on time. Well educated and motivated, and an awesome, friendly person.

He was very respectful of privacy for both the buyer and the seller. He was willing to work with dates that worked out for all the families involved in the transaction, even with scheduling of tenting, etc. I would recommend him for being very professional and friendly too! He takes his job very seriously! I really appreciated his diligence in getting the job done!

ZillowVERIFIED Chris helped us not only find and buy the home we wanted but also helped us sell our first home too. We were some what fearful of opening our home up to sell, but Chris took the extra time to get into the details and made the process way smoother than we could have ever imagined. Chris was always patient with every question we asked, even though he's probably answered the same question a thousand times before. We appreciated how up-to-date he was on the rules, forms and lines of communication. We were very glad we had Chris on our side.

ZillowVERIFIED Having first time home buyers, Chris made the process as easy as possible. Chris is very knowledgeable about the home buying process and made us feel at ease. He was very easy to get a hold of and answered our questions promptly. Chris made us feel that he was looking out for our best interest. We did have some delays using the VA loan which was out of Chris' hands, but he kept the process moving forward for us. We would definitely recommend Chris to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.
