Chuck's San Carlos History
Over the past 16 years, Chuck has successfully assisted over 100 San Carlos clients in achieving or exceeding their real estate goals, whether buying their first home or selling the house they’ve owned for decades. What was the key to success in all of these cases? Extensive knowledge of the San Carlos real estate market, invaluable experience as a seasoned Realtor, and exceptional negotiating skills. Chuck is also very well respected within the local Realtor community, an incredibly valuable asset in an industry that relies heavily on trust.
The success of any relationship is rooted in setting and managing expectations. Chuck listens intently to his client's needs and wishes to create a winning strategy for their success. That means knowing what homes to show his buyers without wasting their time on homes that don’t meet their criteria. For sellers, it’s the ability to carefully script a listing plan to meet their financial and schedule objectives.


For home sellers, that advantage manifests itself in Chuck’s ability to prepare and execute a selling strategy that maximizes his client’s return on investment. That means carefully weighing what should (or should not) be done to prepare the home for sale, knowing how to price the house to garner the most interest, and finally having the experience and moxie to negotiate the best possible deal for his sellers. Time and time again, Chuck Gillooley has negotiated significant premiums over the list price, oftentimes exceeding his seller’s most optimistic expectations.
Home buyers also benefit from working with real estate expert Chuck Gillooley. His in-depth knowledge of the local market is extremely valuable to his buyers, especially those who are not that familiar with San Carlos and the surrounding communities. Having lived in San Carlos for over 30 years, he brings a true boots-on-the-ground perspective of the City that new home buyers may not have, which is critically important to finding the right location for your new San Carlos home. House values can differ significantly from neighborhood to neighborhood within San Carlos; even certain streets are much more desirable than others. Knowing those subtle differences is key to ensuring that you will buy a home that you will enjoy for many years, and will be a sound investment.
