Brian Chancellor, Sereno Group

If you are seeking a professional agent and team, look no further!
Simply the best!

In 2009 Brian helped us find a home in San Mateo and we were so pleased with our interaction that when it came time to sell it in 2015, we gave him a call.
His crack team took care of everything while we were out of town. They cleaned, painted, photographed and showed our place and had offers coming in immediately. The staging was top notch. When we looked at the property online we were seriously impressed.
Brian kept us updated every step of the way. He is knowledgable, personable and paved the way over the inevitable bumps in the road.
There were a lot of moving parts to the deal and he managed expectations well and was clear and honest in all of his dealings.
The property sold well above asking price and we had peace of mind while Brian masterfully took care of everything while we were out of town.

Buying a house is tough. If you are like me, you have no experience in this. Thats why you want to partner with relator who really knows their stuff and can teach you to navigate these new waters. Brian listens carefully and helps you think through what it really would be like to live in a home. He is not out there to sell you anything. He wants to put you in a home you will love. He knows how to spot hidden problems and can explain what you can do with a place in ways that empower you to make solid decisions. We would have jumped into a home that was not right for us without his help and would recommend him to friends and family.

Brian made an effort to have a personal as well as a professional relationship with me and my husband as we entered the house search — by doing so, he was able to give advice specific to us, to help us define (and find!) what we were looking for in a property (and that personal touch made a tremendous difference in what is a stressful process). He is incredibly knowledgable, thorough in his assessments of properties (where his critiques of houses saved us from making a few bad decisions!), is highly professional, and was truly a pleasure to work with. I am grateful for the time that he spent getting to know us, his dedication to help us find what we were looking for, and all that he taught us to make a great choice in the end. I cannot give him a higher recommendation!

Brian is a terrific Real Estate Agent! He knows the properties in this area really well, is very professional and it shows that he has been in this business for many years. If we ever sell or buy property again it will only be with him. He has helped us find both of our homes and it went very smoothly thanks to Brian.

worked with Brian when I bought my home in san francisco. Brian is the ultimate professional. tons of market knowledge and local contacts in each market. amazing eye for style and value. he really gets to know all of his clients, for purposes of tailoring his services to the needs of his clients. as a first time home buyer, there was alot that I needed to learn. Brian was super diligent and very patient, showing me home after home, before we finally found the ‘right one’ (a home that has proven to be the one of the best decisions of my life). he has also connected me with professionals in his network (handymen, plumbers, house painters, builders, etc), and each one of them has been a top notch experience. on top of all this, Brian happens to be a great guy.

Worked with Brian a few years ago as he helped me find my house in Palo Alto. He was incredibly diligent in making sure we had all the listings that were in our price range and took the time to tour around to narrow down what it was we were looking for in a home. He was incredibly patient and when we found a home we liked he walked us through the process and even did a presentation during the offer process on our behalf to the previous owners (multiple bid situation… not uncommon for our area). During the tough back and forth negotiating, he worked with us as to what he thought we could live with and made the final presentation. It was a really good experience even given the situation, since Brian was so involved and accommodating.
Even to this day he has become a part of the family. Our kids know him and each Christmas he drops off a little plant on our doorstep thanking us for the transaction. He is truly a good guy and respected in his field… something I can’t say about every real estate agent. He even has recommendations of local contractors so that if you need a plumber, electrician, lawn guy, he’s got the right person. Of course, we double check that on Unilocal!:)
Loving the home and proud to call Brian a friend as well as a great realtor.

I have had 5 real estate transactions with Brian Chancellor over the last 10 years and couldn’t be happier & more impressed. His quality, care, professionalism, thoroughness, and negotiation skills are stellar. Also, throughout my working with him it became very apparent that he is highly respected and well-​liked by his colleagues in the business, which obviously benefits his clients. Having grown up here in Palo Alto and been a Realtor here for the last 20 years shows in how incredibly connected he is to everything you need as a buyer or seller. To top it off, he is a joy to spend time with and always makes me feel like I’m a priority.

Brian Chancellor did an outstanding job in getting our house ready for sale and sold it within days! He is very professional, informed and works with great integrity. I sincerely believe he is one of the best realtors out there. I will continue to work with Brian because he is genuine and results oriented.

When my husband and I were ready to sell our place in Palo Alto, I suggested that we interview Brian before deciding to use the realtor who help us purchase our house. My husband clicked with Brian and we are so glad that we decided to use his services! Selling our home was complicated and we had to make a major repair before we could close. Brian worked with our home owners association, the city, and the engineers to get the job done. His commitment, knowledge and dedication made a stressful situation bearable and the house sold at a price higher than expected! If you’re looking for an honest and experienced realtor, call Brian– he’s the best!

Brian is a dedicated professional who deeply understands both the economic and emotional components of residential real estate. Brian’s core value system, work ethic, and approach as a trusted advisor makes him so valuable particularly to first time home owners. His network of realtors, contractors, lenders, brokers, and other folks connected to the real estate industry makes him so indispensable to a wide variety of clientele. Brian is not afraid to stand strong for his clients but also give those same clients insightful advice to help them avoid pitfalls and make well-​informed decisions. With Brian, the client is ultimately in the driver’s seat but his broad knowledge and proven track record for happy, life-​long clients separates him from most.

Brian Chancellor is an amazing real estate agent who treats you more like family than a business transaction. He came highly recommended to my husband (then boyfriend) and I when we were looking to purchase our first home together. We were initially hesitant to ask as we felt that our modest price point would be an insult to him. Boy were we glad we met with him! As first time home buyers, he made the process so seamless and easy that we were able to purchase a townhouse we were happy with in a short period of time. When we recently decided to become first time home sellers, in hopes of purchasing our «forever home,» we immediately contacted Brian knowing that we would be well taken care of. And we were, we sold our first home in less than a week on the market with multiple offers! The timing was so perfect that we were also able to purchase our «forever home» in a neighborhood we never dreamed we’d be able to get into.
Brian’s honesty, sincerity, integrity, and patience, etc. make him well respected by his clients and peers. Once you work with Brian, it’s like you’re a part of this elite club where you get his personal and professional referrals for anything and everything. Call up Brian, you won’t regret it!
