Justin is a very nice guy up front. He represented both the seller and us, the buyer. He represented the home as "The Definition of Turn Key". We had issues with improper disclosures, permits and final inspections. The home had recent work that required permits and we were told that the owner would have permits cleared prior to the COE. A few days before the COE we were told that permits couldn't be completed so if we wanted to still buy the home we would need to sign a hold harmless agreement. This wasn't something we wanted to do but we had no other place to go and had to move out of our other home so we signed it. We were told all work was done to code and it was just an easy process of pulling a new permit. That has not been the case at all. Much of the work had to be redone. Also, there were pest issues that were not disclosed properly, exterior lighting issues that were not disclosed (to fix would be $3,500), wood floors that were peeling up hidden under the carpet. The realtor did a final walk through for us and I have no idea how he could have missed it. We were given a credit at the end but it no where near covered the costs to repair all of the above...not to mention the time involved in trying to fix all of the above. The fact that this was the 'Definition of Turn Key' was not. The realtor also called me derogatory names after the sale. Therefore I would definitely not recommend him or Chase International.

Justin truly helped me through the whole process with respect, kindness, courtesy, and honesty. He has become a friend to our family and we are forever grateful.
Justin is the consummate real estate professional. Knowledgeable about the market as a whole plus a wide variety of specific communities and diverse price points. He is a skilled negotiator and helped steer a tough transaction (issues caused by several bank/appraisal delays) across the finish line. As an person, he is a good listener, polite, courteous and patient. As a professional, he is detail oriented, helpful and responsive to calls/questions. As a licensed (inactive) real estate broker myself and son of a former real estate salesperson, I know a little something about this industry. And can say without reservation that Justin is not just a premier real estate agent, he is a top-notch human being who you want in your corner when buying or selling real estate.
He is a professional and very caring with his clients, he is very sensitive to their needs and delivers exactly what one is looking for, his knowledge in the area is very broad. I recommend him because he has helped me find my first home and he made the process very easy, he gives everything and I can be sure that he will be there when I need him again. Thank you Justin for being my realtor and friend at the same time .
Justin did an awesome job. Complicated transaction which he handled very well. Kept us appraised every step of the way. Very professional. Would highly recommend
If you need a realtor, I HIGHLY recommend Justin Balok! I have high expectations and high standards when it comes to the customer service I receive and Justin has impressed me every step of the way. He is VERY responsive and returns my messages/texts in a matter of minutes. If he doesn't have an answer to something, he goes above and beyond to find the information. In less than a month, we were able to find a property with Justin and closed in about 22 days. Justin was there for the inspection and gave recommendations on referrals that can assist us in fixing some items in the home. If you are looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, friendly and provides outstanding customer service, then Justin is your guy!
Justin first set up parameters so we could see what houses were available in our price range where we wanted to reside.. he then followed up by showing us the 5 houses that we liked.. since we lived in Ca and bought in NV, he handled all inspections for us, and had some necessary repairs made and helped negociate how much we should receive for fixups.. in the end he worked with our selling title co to have money wired to our buying title co saving many trips to manually handle the payments..
Fantastic realtor. Justin is there for you every step of the process. I couldn't have been happier with his advice and expertise when he assisted me in purchasing a home. His communication & responsiveness to any questions I had were also highlights. I would highly recommend him to anyone including my friends & family.
My husband and I started looking for our home in early summer of 2020 and just closed on our home last week (Nov. 2020). Justin Balok and the Chase Reality team were the best decision we made in the process. They were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive which was very helpful considering how crazy the market was this past summer. We were so happy with our experience and so thankful to have the backing and support of this incredible team. One thing to note that we discovered the hard way is that in real estate you can only get seller credit (for repairs, etc) up to your closing costs. ie You can not get a check cut back to you. So it is important to keep track of credits and closing costs when negotiating repairs. But other than that, we had a wonderful experience. And we highly recommend Justin and his team to anyone looking for a great realtor in the Reno area.
We really loved having Justin to help us with our purchase. He was so informative and Knowledgeable . If we had questions that he did not have answers he found the answers. He helped us through an issue with our home purchase and it was resolved. He was very honest and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to purchase.
Justin is Awesome! I have done 5 transactions with justin and he is knowledgeable, honest, helpful and attentive. We listed one home, purchased 3 homes and bought 1 lot. You cant wrong with Justin!
Justin actually represented the buyers in the recent sales of our home. When our movers didn't show, and our buyers would not rent back (despite the fact that they were not moving in for weeks)- Justin found a place to store our belongings and help us move! He has gone above and beyond during this whole transaction within circumstances that became very difficult. He was professional, proactive and always with the highest standard of integrity and finding solutions during the transaction. From touring the house and Facetiming clients, to coming up with ways to meet the needs of his clients in the wanted repairs, to helping us when we were presented with a very stressful situation with our move across country. I was very satisfied with our agents, but hands down would not hesitate to recommend Justin as well. Thank you!!!

Justin treats you like a close family friend. He has helped us through the rough parts of buying a home, he is honest and understanding with everything you are looking for. He even referred us to a great mortgage lender that gave us an interest rate nobody could beat. It was our first time buying a house and he made himself available 100% of the time to answer questions and explain anything we were confused with. He really makes your opinion matter and values you as a client. I will always refer my family and friends to Justin when they want to start new chapters in their lives!
Justin was very informative and thorough during every step of the home-buying process. He truly made the experience of purchasing a home feel extremely easy, I am very thankful to have had his help throughout this experience (especially as a first-time home buyer!).
Justin was great from start to finish. He was knowledgeable and responsive. The whole process was a positive experience. I never had any doubt. We completed this purchase from another state and it was great.
Justin was such an amazing help! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy the perfect home. He was prompt, energetic and devoted. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Justin was a vital resource in helping us find our first home recently. It was an extremely seamless process with him as the realtor. With such a competitive market this required a great deal of patience so the optimism that he brought everyday was very encouraging. I would highly recommend!
Though very difficult with my husband passing and having to sell and buy a home. I felt that I was in good hands with Justin and the Chase Team. Open houses and showings were professionally done. Paperwork taken care of immediately. Follow up was handled quickly. I would recommend Justin to sell or buy your next home. Thank you. Cecilia Novak.
Justin did an amazing job helping us buy our amazing home in this difficult market. We were on a limited budget and were able to get into a home that had everything we were looking for. I couldnt be happier with the outcome and we have Justin to thank. He never gave up and was always willing to go the extra mile. Justin is very knowledgeable and always reachable in a timely matter. I highly recommend Justin.
He very much enjoyed working with Justin in the sale of one home and purchase of another at the same time. Contingent sales can be very stressful but he maintained a positive outlook and was very very out going to get our current house sold by a specific date. He worked hard for us and we love our new home! He was very knowledgeable and helped break down things to us that we didn't understand to a level that we could understand them (escrow terms) lol. We never felt pushed or rushed and he always kept us in the loop with the whole process and any changes that came up. We will use Justin again in the future if we ever sell or buy again.
Justin was a wonderful realtor and made our dream of owning a home a possibility. He helped us all along the way from finding a mortgage lender to signing of the documents, and always answered any questions or concerns we had promptly. He listened to our wish list and found us a perfect home. Justin was very good at negotiating and ensured we secured the home we wanted even in a competitive market.
We where 1st time home buyers this spring. Justin was so amazing! We really didn't have any idea what we where doing. Justin's was able to explain things in great detail and really gave us comfort his real estate knowledge. We never felt pressured or forced to make a decision we didn't 100% agree with. One of our main concerns was we didn't want to get into a home we couldn't afford or be comfortable in. Justin made sure we stayed right in our price range, even if it took longer to find us a home. We are so thankful for his expertise and willingness to find our little family the perfect home!
Our experience working with Justin Balok and Gregg Moore was exceptional. Living in Michigan and deciding to move to the Reno area was a difficult one to make. We connected with Justin and Gregg through friends and we communicated via email and voice calls for many weeks before we made our trip to Reno. Justin and Gregg did a great deal of research and provided us with many excellent properties to visit. They paid very close attention to our needs and got to know our personalities. They bent over backwards to accommodate our schedule and knew the area VERY well. Within the span of three days we visited about 12 properties and decided on a home to purchase. They quickly negotiated our purchase and connected us with several lenders. As we returned to Michigan, they kept us informed as to the process. They coordinated the home inspection and final walkthrough with friends of ours whom live in Lake Tahoe. After the closing they have remained in contact with us as we are negotiating the sale of our home in Michigan. I cant say enough about how professional they were. They constantly kept us informed and were on top of any sort of issue that might arise and took care of it. It was a very easy decision to make because of all the upfront work they did on our behalf. They make an excellent team, we are very glad we decided to work with them.
Justin was great to work with! He guided us through the process, kept us informed, and was very professional. It only took one week to sell our condo. It was done very quickly and smoothly, and he knew how to get us the best price. I would highly recommend working with him.
Justin was great! He was patient with us and never made us feel pressured. He was always available and worked around our schedule. As first time homebuyers it was very comforting having Justin available to walk us through the process, explain terms and steps we were unfamiliar with, and answer any questions we had. Thanks to Justin's help we were able to get from searching to closing on a home in about 6 weeks!
