Last April I found myself with a little extra money on hand and so decided to invest in real estate. Being a complete novice in this type of venture I needed help with every aspect of becoming a landlord. Although I didn't know it at the time, luck was with me. I won a small lottery in the form of My Real Estate Agent, Chuck Callhoun.

Beyond the expected characteristics one might have for an agent, (honesty, integrity and service), Chuck was veritable windfall of knowledge. Chuck responded to my very loose idea of "I'm intersted in buying rental property" with 3 very differant properties (price, location, probable clientele) within a week of my intitial request. After viewing the properties he offered detailed information about necessary (electrical) and suggested (carpeting) renovations, costs and reliable trades people, landlord and tenant regulations, unexpected costs, and support services to manage all transactions once I had made a decision. Upon request he offered his opinion about the pros and cons of each property.

By June 1, I owned a rented property - all details from initial transactions through to a signed lease from my tenants having been handled by Chuck. Perhaps what I appreciated most though, was throughout this entire venture not once did I feel like I was being hustled by somebody whose prime focus was his commission.

Having gone through this experience I do have one regret - I wish I had met Chuck Calhoun 10 years ago when I first fantasized about rental property

I would highly reccomend Chuck Calhoun from Best West Realty. We listed our house in Juniper with him and he sold it in 9 days at above what we were expecting financially. He was up front, courteous, professional and personable, took care of any details and concerns with impeccable standards. I would highly recommend Chuck

We recently chose Chuck Calhoun to reprsent us in the sale and purchasse of our property. In doing so I was presented with some very impressive facts and strategies that he planned on using to make the sale of our house quick and lucrative. In staying true to his word, Chuck made sure that the house was marketed and sold quickly, and the legalities were taken care of with acute attention to detail.

In addition, he assisted in finding, viewing and negotiating the purchase of our new home. Chuck was extremely knowledgeable in all areas and concerns and was very quick to ensure that all fine points and particulars were looked after.

In closing we would highly recommend Chuck. He was key in the process, and we look forward to working with him again in the future.
