Guide in progressAbout Chase
Real estate in the place I call home.
Hi, I'm Chase Stewart, a Scottsdale native, a husband, and a dad of two.
I joined eXp Realty and the Tackett Team because I wanted to work with a brokerage that puts clients first. Whether you're buying your first home, selling a property, or just curious about what the market looks like right now, I'll give you honest advice and no sales tactics.
When I'm not with clients, you'll find me exploring Arizona with my family, hiking the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, or sharing what's happening around the Valley on Chase the AZ Life.
Family first, built on trust, not pressure.
From clients
What working with me is like.
★★★★★
"Chase was outstanding throughout the entire process. He was quick to respond whenever we had questions and helped get us into our dream home. He negotiated for us at every step of the closing process, and we felt confident with Chase as our advocate. He was very knowledgeable about the entire process and about the Phoenix housing market. I would highly recommend working with Chase!"
★★★★★
"Chase was invaluable for us during the home buying process. My husband and I are first time home buyers, and Chase was on top of everything from the beginning. Thanks to him, we closed on a house we loved (and with a price we could afford). He guided us through every step of the process. Could not recommend him enough!"
