Description
Negar is a distinguished luxury real estate consultant serving lifestyle buyers and sellers in the Greater Park City area. A multi-lingual and seasoned professional with over 30 years of business experience, she has an extensive background in consulting, marketing, and sales. Prior to transitioning into real estate, Negar worked with leading multinational organizations in the private equity, financial services and high-tech industries in the U.S. and Switzerland, where she honed her expertise and client-centric approach.
Since moving to Park City over 12 years ago, Negar has established herself as a consistent top 1% producer in transaction volume. Leveraging her extensive consulting and marketing background, she quickly developed a reputation for excellence early in her career in Park City by successfully launching and selling over $300 million in luxury ski-in ski-out and high-end contemporary developments. She has since expanded her services to represent luxury buyers and sellers across some of Park City’s most desirable neighborhoods and communities, earning recognition as one of the Top 1000 agents in sales volume in the U.S. by Real Trends for the past five years. Her business is entirely driven by referrals from clients and like-minded real estate advisors in her feeder markets and is rooted in a steadfast commitment to an exceptional real estate experience delivered with precision, utilizing proven processes perfected over time, and guided by the principle that luxury is an experience, not a price point. A champion of luxury home sellers, new construction developers and lifestyle luxury buyers, Negar is often sought out for her local market expertise and global marketing reach that produce results.
“Our business philosophy is rooted in ensuring an exceptional real estate experience. Every luxury property has its own unique story and the key to selling it for top dollar is to take the time to intimately understand the soul and story of each home, what makes it unique and more importantly to translate that unique story into compelling visual images and videography that create a deep connection with our prospective luxury lifestyle buyers. When it comes to the successful marketing and sales of luxury properties, we are passionate champions of The Art of Story Telling and ardent believers that pictures are worth a thousand words.”
With an unwavering work ethic and uncompromising standard of excellence, and as lifelong clients will attest, Negar’s multi-national background, deep knowledge of her local market, attention to detail, and distinctive mix of enthusiasm and professionalism, not only breed success but also create a heightened real estate experience. Her clients always come first; she delivers on her word, produces results, and ensures that going above and beyond is the norm, not the exception.
“Ours is a value proposition focused on the client experience where going above and beyond expectations is the norm. We take pride in knowing that our clients don’t just believe in our ability to market and sell their luxury properties, or to expertly represent them in the purchase of their dream mountain getaway, but that they have hopefully found a friend for life in the process as well.”
If you were to ask Negar what her biggest achievement in life has been, she would without hesitation say raising her son Cameron and daughter Isabelle, both recent graduates from UCLA’s undergraduate program, with Jean-Marc her husband and business partner of 30 years. In their time off, Negar and Jean-Marc enjoy quality family time, traveling, learning about other cultures, cooking and fine dining, volunteering for their favorite nonprofits, and, of course, basking in the myriad of amazing outdoor activities that Park City has to offer.

Testimonials
We couldn't have asked for more trustworthy, knowledgeable, and capable help finding a home. Negar and Jean-Marc knew the market at an incredible level of detail and history, and had trusted relationships with every other realtor in town that they used (with integrity) to help us in our search - so much so that ultimately we were able to purchase a home before it even hit the open market. They were also very candid and straightforward with us about the pros and cons of various options we were considering. Can't recommend highly enough if you're looking to purchase any type of property in Park City.
We just finalized the purchase of the perfect condo for our family in Park City and we cannot thank Negar and Jean-Marc enough for making it happen. We live in Mexico City and have been skiing at Park City for at least 15 years. This spring, during our latest trip, we decided we are ready for a full time property as our base for a gradual transition back to the US. We met with Negar and Jean-Marc, talked about what we had in mind, and went to see a property that was on the market as possible example of what we might want. That is how our long search started. We went back home and from then on our interactions were on the phone and via facetime. However, their warmth, honesty, good humor, and professionalism made the distance irrelevant. We always felt they were giving us their full attention at all times. They heard every single detail we said was important to us and relentlessly looked for the right property. They never tried to sell us up, pointed out all the pros and cons of each option, talked us out of properties they considered not suitable, and never tired and were always up for yet another walk through. In the end Negar and Jean-Marc became not only our agents but also our friends. This market was as hard as it gets, and it took a series of failed offers until we finally got exactly what we wanted, just as Negar always promised we would.
Praise can be dilute if hyperbole involved, but when it comes to working with Negar Chevre-Shams, only hyperbole will do. She is simply the best. We were searching for a toe-hold in the Park City area and arrived with more questions than answers. Negar found answers. Nothing was too time-consuming or complex. We felt we had her undivided attention and couldn’t be happier with our results. We would refer her with pleasure and expect to work only with her for future needs.
We recently purchased a new home in Park City, UT. Purchasing new construction in the midst of a pandemic turned out to be a completely virtual experience, causing us to never see the property in person prior to closing! We could not have accomplished this 21st century transaction without the assistance, professionalism and attention we received from Negar and Jean-Marc. They went above and beyond what anyone may have expected of a real-estate professional. From the beginning of our house hunt to closing, their attention to detail, expertise, and thorough knowledge of every aspect of the real estate market and transactions enabled us to purchase our ideal vacation home. Negar got to know us quickly and showed us properties that both met our desires and budget. Moreover, their kindness, friendliness, honesty and competence made them a pleasure to work with. We believe that Negar and Jean-Marc are the absolute best in the industry.
After years of visiting, we finally decided to buy our second home in Park City. This was a difficult task considering the fact that we live so far away. We were so fortunate to have Negar and Jean-Marc at our side to help us. Once we decided on a townhome in Hideout, to be built, they represented us from far away, handling every detail, including selection of options. Throughout the process (8 months), both Negar and Jean-Marc looked after our interest, helping with making decisions and choices, even sending photos of the construction progress. At all times they were patient and wise. There is no way we could have done it without them. The end result is a beautiful home that we enjoy, the purchase of which was hassle free and actually pleasant. We have purchased and sold a number of properties. Never before have we encountered such professionalism and care. Thank you Negar and Jean-Marc. We are so grateful to have met you.
My family and I have been going to Park City / Canyons for nearly 20 years and we frequently have called it our home away from home. Now that our kids are in college, we decided to make that official. I originally meet Negar as a listing agent for another property. She was responsive, informative and engaging...I just wasn’t ready to make a move. Several months later, we reconnected, and we started to learn more about the market and what would be best fit for my wife and I. Negar and Jean-Marc went above and beyond to find the best option for our lifestyle and provided in-valuable advising at every step of the way. We purchased at the Waldorf Astoria, without ever visiting the property, but you’d never know it from our experience with Negar and Jean-Marc. Bottom line, best buying experience I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t hesitate working with them again and highly recommend anyone looking for expertise in Park City.
We have worked with Negar for over 5 years on both the purchase and sales side of residential real estate in Park City. We believe she is one of only a few truly professional brokers here. Her market knowledge, local connections, and attention to detail evidence our beliefs. We most recently listed and sold our home through her. She spend extra time and money on the staging, photography, and marketing of our property, and we are convinced the extra attention to the details made a huge difference. We can highly recommend her with no reservations.
I have been in the housing industry professionally for 25-years, and hold little regard for today's real estate agents. Negar and Jean-Marc created and provided value for my family and me, and they earned every dollar of their commissions from the three properties I've purchased with their guidance.
Negar and Jean-Marc offer the trifecta of service! Extensive knowledge of the Park City real estate market, impeccable attention to detail and a refreshing candor when it comes to evaluating purchase and sale options. We worked with Negar and Jean-Marc to both sell one home and purchase another. They worked tirelessly to effectively market our home and sold it in record time. When looking for a new home they were flexible in showing us a broad range of options and were instrumental in helping us clarify our needs for the best “next home” purchase. Working with Negar and Jean Marc was hands down the most enjoyable and stress-free real estate experience. We highly recommend them!
Negar and Jean-Marc made our two transactions in Park City (the sale of our townhouse and the purchase of our single family residence) a dream. Their professionalism, smarts, attention to detail, and spot-on advice made the transactions smooth and seamless. I will continue to recommend this team wholeheartedly.
When we decided to list our home for sale, in The Enclave at Sun Canyon, there were no doubts as to whom we were going to list it with. Negar has been involved with The Enclave since it's inception and we believed that she was clearly the best choice for marketing our home. From our understanding, Negar would convey the Enclave story, like no other, and answer every question without effort. Negar was always kind, professional, prompt, available, and very responsive. We certainly appreciate an agent that is so efficient and communicative. Negar would also do whatever it took to be available to to get things done promptly. I understand that those traits, among other agents, are not as common as we would have expected. You can also be assured that Negar takes excellent care of your property and does her job with an abundance of consideration. The composition and quality of the photographic images are very important aspects of the marketing and they only use a top notch professional. It really makes a difference, as does the quality of marketing materials that Negar and Jean-Marc have produced. Jean-Marc and Negar make excellent working partners. Each excels in their area of expertise. After our wonderful experience with Negar, we would never hesitate to have her on our team for any Park City residential real estate dealings in our future, whether they involve The Enclave at Sun Canyon or any other property.
David and Wendy Steiner, Park City (Sellers)
No matter what line of work or industry you partake in, it’s always great when you get to work with a consummate professional. From our experience with Negar, we can assure you that she is an “A” player and you’ll know it in the first minutes of working with her.
We spent about a month pouring over Realtor.com and looking at area maps. We reached out to Negar after seeing a number of listings we were interested. She was extremely quick to respond to all of our inquiries and due to both COVID and that we lived out of state, she took us on a number of very detailed Facetime tours. What you immediately love is that you’re not being sold something, in fact, Negar was busy pointing out all of the potential negatives of a many of the homes we looked at and provided us insights that only a local and expert would know. The process was actually much more like finding a new trusted friend than working with a realtor. At one point, she shared, “we may find your home now or in a few months.” and encouraged us to be patient, as we were a bit excited to become part of community.
After gaining an understanding of our design and location goals, Negar was able to locate a home not yet on the market. When I clicked on the link to see the photos, I literally gasped and said, “that is my dream home”. I’m not sure how you repay someone for turning a dream into a reality other than sharing with you that working with her is the right choice. From the start of the process to the end, you’ll have a friend navigating the way. Oh, and Jean-Marc is super great too!
I would highly recommend Negar and Jean- Marc as your next realtors in Park City! Insurmountable knowledge of the Park City market has made them a winning team. They hold themselves to the highest levels of integrity while guiding you through the selling or purchasing process. We have had such positive experiences buying and selling with Negar. Absolutely top-notch as a person and realtor. Our realtor for life!
George and Faith, Park City, Utah (Sellers)
As a frequent buyer of high end luxury real estate, I only prefer a broker who is extremely efficient and transparent during the purchasing process. Negar was all of these and more during my recent purchase of a luxury new development condo in Park City. I was able to close my transaction swiftly with zero headache and will certainly use Negar again should I purchase any more real estate in the Park City or Deer Valley areas. Ultimately, what impressed me most about Negar's process is her immediate responses to my requests whether these be via email or text -- when you communicate efficiently with your broker, the purchasing process will be an absolutely enjoyable experience!
Negar and Jean-Marc are an 11 out of 10. As an entrepreneur with 600 employees, I appreciate customer service and Negar WOWED me at every opportunity. When I decided to add a friend to the vacation property investment she was patient to bring him up to speed. When my mortgage provider took their time to close, she worked tirelessly with the bank and developer to make sure all parties were comfortable with daily updates. She spent several days showing a wide arrange of locations / options and when we made the decision she went through all of the pros and cons. She made me feel like she cared as much as I did on this purchase and she became a close friend in the process. As someone who deals with brokers on a daily basis for work, I can honestly say I have NEVER worked with a broker of this caliber. Negar will forever be my Utah contact and I can only recommend her with the highest praise.
Having dealt with enumerable real estate experts in the past, through various real estate transactions, I can say without a grain of hyperbole that Negar is truly outstanding. She has the patience of a saint, and certainly looks out for the best interest of her client in all regards. I have come to learn that there are frequent curveballs encountered in the process of buying and selling real estate. Furthermore, most agents seem to prioritize ‘getting deals done’. A widely experienced, honest, intuitive, and tirelessly pro-active agent such as Negar can make all the difference. Negar marries her impressive set of professional attributes with a warm, calm, and sensible personality. She is always available for her clients and extremely dedicated to her career. I give her my highest order recommendation, and would not hesitate to work with her again in the future. You cannot find better.”
My wife and I recently purchased our Park City home and Negar was our real estate broker. She was involved with every aspect of the buying process. As out of town buyers, we relied on Negar to meet others at the house. Not only was she always available for inspections, follow up visits, appraisals, etc., she also helped with her amazing list of local contacts that helped for every job we needed, including a contractor for the addition we plan to make to our house, handymen, painters, home inspectors, appraisal companies, mortgage lender, etc. This was our 5th home purchase in the past 20 years and we've never had a real estate broker as pleasant, informed or helpful as Negar. We highly recommend her whether you are looking to buy or sell your home.
We have bought and sold several homes over the past 20 years and we can honestly say we have never had a realtor that comes close to Negar. Her professionalism, attention to detail and genuine concern for her clients is remarkable. We were buying a new home which required us to make a lot of decisions on design and functionality and her recommendations were incredibly helpful. We have worked with many realtors in the past and none of them were as impressive as Negar. She made the home purchasing process smooth and reduced our anxiety. Negar is a true professional.
