I have been a Realtor for over 20 years and enjoy the opportunities it gives me to meet new people and make new friends.

I love my job! I hope I get the chance to meet you as well. 

I'm writing on behalf of myself and my brother, Joe Gaines. When Joe and I started checking into selling our parents' home we felt really overwhelmed because both of us are novices when it comes to selling/buying realty. We could not have been luckier to find Chad. He is the most patient, knowledgeable, easy going, all around good guy. The sale of our parents' home has gone so smoothly and will possibly close next week. Whew! We will wholeheartedly recommend him to all our friends and acquaintances. It was truly a pleasure working with him and appreciate how well we were treated. Thanks again Chad.

My wife and I loved working with Chad. He was an incredible wealth of knowledge on the home buying process and made my wife and I feel comfortable at every step of the way during our recent home purchasing experience. I will be strongly recommending Chad to anyone I know that tells me they will be buying or selling a home! Earl Eastman - LEED Green

Chad did an excellent job in representing us in the sale of our home. Using his past experience in appraising we were able to get a higher price than other realtors had suggested. He was very responsive to us and in touch quickly when needed. He was very comfortable to work with and always a smile and positive attitude.

Chad is very accommodating and extremely helpful and has met me several times after hours to get the job done. He walked me page by page through the buyer/seller agreement and made sure I understood the contract. Chad knows a large network of people in the business (builder, architect, lenders, home inspectors) so there is nothing he cant handle. I highly recommend him !!!

As a current client of Chad Markel, I would recommend him to anyone because of his efficiency and accommodating ways. He helped me get a home built and made a dream come true. He is also helping me sell my current home. I couldn't have done all this without him. I believe he is the most honest and caring Realtor in the Tri-Cities. Sincerely, Mary Ann Brisse

Working with Chad Markel was a great experience. His professionalism and extensive knowledge of the entire home buying process is just what I needed, being a first time home buyer. Chad made the process very easy for me. He is always willing to answer any question and is very prompt when it comes to responding to emails and phone calls. I will be recommending Chad to anyone I know that is is the market for a new home Kye Lorenzen

It is my pleasure to recommend Chad Markel of Markel Properties. I have had the pleasure of working with Chad for the past 5 years on the Real Estate Transactions of my property in Benton City, WA. Chad came as a recommendation to me from my Estate Attorney as I was displeased with the previous person I had been dealing with regarding our property. I was impressed from the beginning with the way Chad handled my questions and concerns. He was kind, insightful, and highly knowledgeable in his area of Real Estate Expertise. Though my situation was very unique, Chad handled everything with the utmost of Integrity. I can honestly state that I have not dealt with any Real Estate Agent/Broker with his kind of honesty, kindness, and genuine care for his clients. Chad's connections in the industry are endless and he definitely 'knows his stuff'! As we worked through many issues with Benton County over the years, Chad never once faltered. He was immediate in returning phone calls/emails, and was on top of every situation immediately as well. I can tell you that the sale of the property went very smoothly and quickly because of Chad's interaction and expertise. I write this recommendation in all honesty, having not met Chad in person as yet - we handled everything virtually via email/phone - I am thoroughly impressed and grateful to Chad and all his assistance!

I was a first time home buyer, Chad made the processes extremely simple and fast. He met with me a number of times and walked me through each step explaining everything along the way. Another thing that I really appreciated about Chad was that every e-mail from the seller's agent I received a copy of so I was always up to date as to what was going on. I was extremely impressed by him and have and would recommend him to anyone looking to do anything in real estate.

I would highly recommend Chad to anyone in the Tri-Cities area looking for a home to buy or sell. He handled the sale of my mother's property in Benton City. Chad took care of every detail in a professional, efficient, and highly competant manner. He kept us informed of every step in the process; which was not easy considering none of the family lives in the area. He did an excellent job.

Chad Markel was very diligent in getting us into our first home. He was readily available to answer any question we had along the way. If you are buying or selling a home, I would definitely recommend him!

I would like to take this opportunity to praise Chad Markel, our once Realtor, now a dear friend. We were seeing several Realtors when we were looking for a home in 2010; then we met Chad and were so impressed with his professionalism, his integrity and thorough knowledge that we saw no others after. He was always courteous and patient, always ready to show us the pros and cons of every option we considered. He advised us thoroughly on every matter of concern, putting our interest first. Over the year that we spent searching together, we not only were able to find the perfect home for us, we also found a true good friend in Chad. We have remained friends since. How often do we get to have both the best Agent and a true good friend in one? I would, of course, recommend Chad to anyone. You'd feel blessed to meet and work with him.

Chad's professionalism, attention to detail, and follow up was top notch. He helped me find the home I wanted at a price that was far lower than market. I would buy a house through Chad without reservation.

Chad Markel provided great service and personal attention throughout the time I was looking for just the right home. Chad's knowledge of the area, real estate market and key community contacts greatly assisted in my search. Chad is so easy to talk to and always made me feel comfortable. He is exceptional and I could not have asked for a better Realtor to guide me through. Whether you are buying or selling, I highly recommend Chad Markel and the Markel Team.

 The service my mother received from Chad Markel in the sale of her home was exceptional. Throughout the process of selling her home, Chad was professional, conscientious, and highly motiviated. He always put in the extra effort to ensure all of the small details were resolved. She was also extremely pleased that Chad was able to sell her home for more than she expected. Whether you are buying or selling, I would highly recommend Chad as your Realtor.

With Chad Markel's help the purchase of our home went smoothly and virtually stress-free. We would recommend him to family and friends. He is a H.I.T. { Honest, Integrity, Talented } Agent in our book!

There's not enough words in the English language to describe Chad Markel! He & his family have done so much for us....as a friend, advisor, realtor (buying & selling)....& the list goes on! There is more knowledge, compassion, expertise, professionalism & just plain ole business sense in him than any one person should even hope for. His integrity is beyond reproach. We would recommend him above anyone else we know. To make this long story short (LOL), we would trust him not only financially, but with anything.

Chad Markel is the best realtor I have had the privelege of working with! I recommend him to friends and family! He is not only a great realtor, he is a great friend!

 Making the decision to move after 19 years was certainly not an easy one. Chad was very knowledgeable and extremely patient in showing us loads of houses and answering tons of questions. We will recommend Chad again and again, he was incredible!

Robert & Joanna Dean

From the beginning, Chad has shown himself to go above and beyond what I would expect from both a seller's agent and a buyer's agent. We first contacted Chad when we wanted to think about setting a price for our house, though we wanted to sell it ourselves. Chad sent us lots of comps and gave us lots and lots of tools to set our price, which we did. Since that time, we decided to hire Chad to sell our house. He has lots of local contacts, and as we watched him negotiate, we saw that he is extremely adept in those skills as well. On top of his skills, we find Chad to be full of integrity, putting people first. He always responds promptly to emails and phone calls. He understands that relationships with others lead to great deals. We highly recommend Chad Markel.

We highly recommend working with Chad Markel, if you are in search of a real estate agent. Chad was able to point out several easy modifications to our home to help in our sale. He was quite patient with us in finding a new home as well. After looking extensively to find a house that was move in ready, we just couldn't find a home that would fit for us. We decided to start the building process. Chad stood up for us through out this process, insuring that the builder would not take advantage of us. He is easy to work with and makes himself available for your needs. We would definetly work with Chad Markel again in the future.

Hello, I would recomend chad to any one buying or selling a house. I had a different situation when buying my home. I was a first time buyer going through a program through the city to help get me into my home. doing this there was alot of extra time and paperwork. It took more then a year for me to get my home with all the extra hoops I had to jump through. Chad was very patient and helped me all the way through. I would like to thank Chad and the sellers again for working with me, I love my new home. Thank again, Dave
