My wife and I chose Chad Schwendeman after having used other realtors in the past, we did so based on his reputation and his work ethic. Chad's office is on my way to and from work, I work 9-10 hours a days. I would see Chad's car in his office parking lot well after I returned home from my work and again on weekends. Chad has this personality presence that is professional, genuinely caring and kind. My wife and I would receive weekly up-dates on our property. Chad would personally reply to my e-mails and phone calls in a immediate fashion. I find this very uncommon today. During our selling process I felt like I could call Chad with a problem unrelated to my property and he would not only take the time but he would show the interest to listen. ( I did not test this out but I believe it to be true) Most important, my wife and I chose Chad because we had a time line in mind and we both thought Chad's team would serve our needs best. Chad was able to exceed our hope and expectation. I highly recommend Chad Schwendeman. Thank you again, Chad... Grant and Jan Wilcox Less

In all our dealings with Chad, he has been professional, honest and handles everything in a timely manner. Also, we thoroughly enjoyed the lovely evening at Prairie Bay. We will always deal with Chad and recommend him to friends and family. Thank you Chad for being one of the only honest and knowledgeable realtors we have had the pleasure to deal with. Having both those qualities is a rare commodity in a realtor. Ed and Judy Hall

We had our lake home on the market in 2012 from Memorial Day through Oct. with another realtor & never had one person so much as look at it. We contacted Chad, who got it back on the market in the dead of winter, the end of Jan. 2013 & we had a buyer by the end of March!!! We were amazed. We would absolutely recommend Chad as a realtor. He is thorough, competent & respectful.

Chad's marketing expertise is above and beyond in knowledge and service in this area. We were very pleased with him and his team in selling our home in 48 days! His marketing strategy and beautiful folders describing and displaying our home were very professional. Awesome job, Chad! Thanks to you and your team.

Chad listed our home and sold it in rocket speed!! 3 months! The presentation of our home and his advertising/marketing was the key to finding the buyer! His team and service are tops! Highly recommend. Karen

We Had a great experience with Chad in selling our home. He had great communication and followed through on all that was promised. Highly recommend his service to all others!

Chad and his team really went the extra mile to help us buy this home. If we had questions or concerns, they were always just a phone call or an email away. We had a couple of things that needed to be fixed before we actually purchased the home and Chad stayed on top of the issues until they could be resolved. When he had not heard from us for a day or two he even called us to be sure everything was moving ahead. We truly appreciated not just the service that we received but the manner in which we received it. There is a reason they are one of the best in the area! Less

I worked with Chad over the course of about three years in my search for a lake property in MN. My husband and I were very particular in what we wanted, and Chad was always very patient in his dealings with us even though I'm sure he, at times, felt frustrated. He was extremely responsive to our needs, and he always made time to meet with us at any property we wished to see. He was extrememly knowledgable about his work and the surrounding area. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for property in the Brainerd area. Less

Chad Schwendeman sold three houses for me this year! The first within six weeks after another realtor listed it for a year..The second he sold with in one week and the third he sold before I was done constructing it.He is a certified professional whom I find trustworthy and credible! Richard Buersken Construction/BC642424

We had a great experience with Chad when trying to sell a current home and purchase another. He made it happen and we ended up selling and buying in one day. He couldn't of made it any smoother.

Excellent experience working with Chad. His marketing skills were better than any other realty co. I have used in the past. I absolutely would recommend selling/buying a home with his company .

Chad and his entire staff were extremely professional and responsive. We never had to worry what was going on with the sale of our property because they would give us updates as soon as they had information to share. Chad was able to negotiate the sale of our house without asking us to lower our price. He knew what our price point was and that?s what he got us. There was no pressure. I would highly recommend Chad for any real-estate buying or selling!

We have purchased eleven homes and sold nine homes with a proportionate number of realtors. Chad Schwendeman is absolutely the best; no other realtor in our experience even comes close to his level of competence. We were and continue to be impressed with his: marketing,communication,availability,responsiveness, knowledge and professionalism. We highly recommend Chad Schwendeman without reservation.

Chad is a PRO that knows the market, is very responsive and gives great advice. Chad knows how to market and I will be relying on him in the future without a doubt. Looking to buy or sell, call Chad. You will be pleased with the results.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience in purchasing our new cabin in the Brainerd lakes area this spring. Chad is extremely responsive and knowledgable. He knows the lakes and the area so well that he was able to guide us with an expert hand through the decision process. He is also plesent to work with. At the end of our first day looking at properties Chad felt like a friend. Chad impressed us in so many ways but what I found so refreshing is the way he continued to work with us and for us well after the purchase agreement was signed. There are many communications and details between an accepted offer and the closing and Chad was on top of every one of them. We absolutely love our new cabin! And we recommend Chad without hesitation. Less

Chad was very pro active and kept us informed along the way. He did a great job of advertising our listing. He gave us good advice and always had a plan of action! I would highly recommend Chad to anyone wishing to sell or buy property.

Chad is very dedicated in buying or selling your home. Countless hours were spent on showings, open houses, ads etc. Chad has represented me in a previous home purchase in the Brainerd Lakes Area and most recently the sale of my home. I feel honored to have Chad and his team assisting me with all of my realtor needs.

Chad was the second agent to take on a listing for my deceased father's home. He has a wonderful market approach far superior to any agent in that area in my opinion, He sold the house in 60 days and during that period had 7 more showings than the previous agent/company. I would highly recommend anyone selling or buying real estate in that area to sit down and talk to Chad first!

The reasons Chad is the top realtor in the Brainerd Lakes area is because he is very knowledegeable on the local real estate market, he employs a broad portfolio of leading edge marketing tools, and because he is so reponsive that he almost makes you feel like you are his only client. I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about selling (or buying) in this difficult real estate market.

Chad Schwendeman really exceeded our expectations when we sold our lake home on Gull Lake. He is a hard worker, detail-oriented, communicates often, knows the market, and has a wonderful team in place to help get the job done. He represented us very well from start to finish. He found buyers in a tough market and helped make the sale a win-win for everyone! I trust Chad and recommend him to everyone for all real estate buying and selling needs. He is #1 in our book and stands out in the crowd! Judy Johnson Less

Best ever, we had a cabin in an Association, with The Right of First Refusal, everyone was going on vacation, including our Attorney, but Chad stayed on top of everything and got the sale through.

We used Chad to sell our home in a market that was very difficult to sell in and overrun with homes in our price range. Chad told us he would get it sold quickly and he did so in an amazing short amount of time - 2 months. I have worked with many agents in the past but Chad is in a league all his own. Both my wife and I would highly recommend using him to represent you in either buying or selling a house. You will be glad you did.

Chad was an excellent realtor and always willing to make his schedule work for us. He was knowlegable and not overly agressive which is something I really appreciated. I would deffinatly recommend Chad to anyone that is either looking to buy or sell a home!

Chad is absolutely EXCELLENT! He knows the market in and out, is very professional, courteous, and a joy to work with. He got us the house we loved, he did it in a very timely fashion, and he wasn't all about making money for himself. He was more interested in helping us out, finding a home for us that was within our means, and forming a relationship. Thanks Chad!! Jamie & Mike

Chad was very helpful from the start. He kept us informed of current listings and worked hard to help us find the home that we are very proud of, pleased with and the price was unbelieveable. Great deal, you are a true professional and our friend. Thanks Chad!!! Terry and Sharon Johnson

As a single woman purchasing her first home I was extremely nervous about finding a realtor that would treat me with respect, keep my best interest in mind and answer any questions I had. Chad met all of those expectations and more. He was honest about properties and helped narrow down my search based on areas that he felt would be safest for me. He was also quick to answer my questions, and didn?t make me feel like I was asking ?dumb? questions; he exceeded my expectations! If you are looking for someone that has your best interest in mind, than Chad is the realtor for you! Less

I couldn't ask for a better experience in purchasing a home last year. Chad treated me like family. He was very helpful in directing me to an area that I would be happy living in. I was not familiar with neighborhoods in this area, but needed to live in a place where I could be comfortable with raising a little boy. We spent several days driving around searching for the diamond in the rough. After advising against several options, we found my dream home. Chad cleared his schedule to accomodate preparing the purchase agreement. Our offer was one of many, but with his help, it was the one that was accepted! Chad still follows up with me a year after buying my home. It's rare to find someone that truely cares about his clients, but you can't go wrong in choosing Chad. Less

Chad is very knowledgeable about the Brainerd Lakes area and market. He is very dedicated to helping his clients sell and buy homes. He is quick to reply to every email and phone call. In fact, he negotiated the sale of our home while on vacation with his family, putting just as much time and effort into the process as he would have while working from his office. I would definitely use his services again, and I would highly recommend him to family and friends.

Chad's marketing stategy is above and beyond that of any other agent we have worked with in selling our home. What we were extremely impressed with was Chad's communication skills. Chad got back to us in a very timely manner and kept us totally updated. We highly recommend Chad to anyone wishing to sell or buy their property.

We had been with a different agent in the Brainerd Lakes area and never felt we where a team. A friend referred us to Chad from the start we felt that we where a team and he would help us to find a new cabin and work for our best interest. I felt that he went over and above , any question we asked he would find the answer. He always keep us informed of what was going on. Chad was very informed about the area and was able to answer any question we asked about the Brainerd Lake area. We are listing are other cabin with Chad and feel very comfortable with this decision.

Chad was not only professional, but also quite personable. He made the experience of buying our dream home a reality and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to purchase or sell a home in the Brainerd area. His hard work, thoroughness and dedication are exemplary and he is one wonderful guy. He made it fun and memorable and I hope I have another opportunity to work with him again someday. You will not find anyone better to partner with. Mike Long
