UNIQUE HOMES LISTS CHASE ONE OF REAL ESTATE'S MOST INFLUENTIAL (LAKE TAHOE, Nevada) - Shari Chase, founder and CEO of Lake Tahoe-based Chase International, was named one of luxury real estate's most influential people by Unique Homes Magazine. Chase, who created her namesake company 20 years ago, was noted for being a luxury pace setter, doing what other companies merely talk about. "No list would be complete without this Lake Tahoe broker, who has always been ahead of the rest," the article by Camilla McLaughlin, touted. Chase was also selected for her high-profile properties and clients, an office in London to facilitate European purchases for American and international clients and lauded for her landmark $30 and $50 million sales transactions. The list, appearing in the April/May 2006 issue in honor of the magazine's 35th anniversary, was comprised of luxury real estate's top 35 developers, consultants, entrepreneurs, publishers, agents and brokers from across the U.S. Chase was listed along such mavens as Donald Trump. "Unique Homes is an industry staple and it's an honor to be recognized by our professional peers and media," Chase said. "I'm pleased that my work, along with our agents, can set industry examples. We've worked hard to put the Chase name in the forefront of luxury real estate." Chase International is headquartered in Lake Tahoe, Nevada since 1986 with five offices around Lake Tahoe, new offices in Reno and Truckee and one in London. The company is a longstanding exclusive member of Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate and Leading Estates of the World, was elected to the Board of Regents for luxury real estate and is an exclusive member of the Artisan Group, comprised of the Bay Area's top firms. Chase's membership in the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, the nation's largest independent relocation network (formerly RELO) and its luxury arm, Luxury Portfolio, further positions the company as an industry authority on luxury real estate and strengthens its client services.
