Founder, President and CEO of Chase International, Shari Chase leads eight offices in Lake Tahoe, Reno, and one in London, England. Over the past 22 years, Chase’s company has earned a reputation as one of the nation’s leaders in luxury real estate with a network of real estate professionals and loyal buyers, making Chase a master in her field. Some of her accolades include the complicated sale of the Thunderbird Lodge for $50,000,000 in 1998, a worldwide record for many years, and today she represents Tranquility at Lake Tahoe, offered at $100,000,000.

Early on she led her company to the forefront with niche marketing focusing on the luxury estates at Lake Tahoe. Her vision and reputation as a trendsetter have influenced the way luxury properties are marketed globally today. Exclusive affiliations and luxury networks were critical to the development of the company’s brand and reputation. Chase also likes an element of risk - in 1998 she opened a London office representing buyers for European properties and promoting American properties to an international clientele. She was the first company to embrace video with Brad Inman’s guidance and she was the first real estate brokerage to recently launch a social network embracing Web 2.0. Chase instills this “first-to-do” attitude throughout her entire company from technology to training to recruiting and marketing.

Chase’s leadership has attracted forward thinking professionals, and a clientele second to none. Her 160 sales associates and skilled leadership team are strongly committed to providing legendary client services with an unparalleled standard of integrity and expertise. The Chase way is contagious for all who work and play at Chase International.

In naming the 35 most influential people in luxury real estate, Unique Homes stated “No list would be complete without this Tahoe broker, who always has been a bit ahead of the rest. In the mid-1990’s, when a $10 million or $12 million residence was considered the ultra high end, Shari Chase had landmark sales of $30 million and $50 million – a record that would stand for years. Known for high-profile properties and clients, her firm continues as one of the industry’s pace setters. What others talk about, Chase does.”
