When I started in real estate 25 years ago, I had a problem: I was giving advice about one of the biggest financial decisions people make, but I'd never bought a property myself. I knew I couldn't keep going like that. So I became an investor, and it changed everything. I felt the excitement of finding a great deal, the stress of making the right choice, and the relief of watching rental income come in. I finally understood what my clients were going through.
That experience became the foundation of my practice. I specialize in helping buyers, sellers, and investors, with a particular focus on finance professionals preparing for retirement who want to replace their salary with passive income through real estate. I know how overwhelming it can be to find the right property, but I also know how life-changing the right investment can be.
I work across the greater Salt Lake City area with buyers at every stage, from first-time purchasers to seasoned investors. My clients describe me as someone who is both aggressive when the situation calls for it and patient when they need reassurance. I connect people with excellent lenders, walk them through the entire process, and make sure they feel confident at every step.
After 25 years, what I'm most proud of is the trust my clients place in me. Whether someone is selling a home on a difficult street or buying their very first property with all the anxiety that comes with it, I show up the same way every time: prepared, honest, and fully committed to getting the deal done right.
If your client is headed to Utah and needs an agent who combines deep market knowledge with real investor experience, I'd love to be the person you send them to.
"Chay understood all of my anxieties, put them to bed before they came on, and took my calls when I had worries. I recommend Chay to anyone who may need someone to be as aggressive as he should be but as tender as I needed him to be."
"Chay was kind and caring throughout the entire process of selling our home. It wasn't the easiest process, but Chay never gave up. Not only was he professional, but it was easy to talk with him about our concerns."
"I used Chay to sell my old home and buy a new home. I loved how he connected me with an excellent lender and walked through the process of buying and selling. I'm very satisfied with his overall commitment to his clients."
When you send a client my way, they're getting someone who has been in this business for 25 years and has walked the same path as a buyer, seller, and investor. I'll keep you informed throughout the process, treat your client with care and honesty, and make sure they feel confident from start to finish.
I'm responsive, straightforward, and easy to talk to. My clients say I put their worries to bed before they even come on. Referring agents can expect the same level of communication. You'll always know where things stand.
