"I have worked with Chip buying and selling my last two homes. He has all of the most important qualities I look for in a realtor - integrity, knowledge, efficiency, attention to detail, and perseverance. Chip responded quickly to all my calls, and patiently drove me around helping find the right house for me. Many times he went beyond the call of duty. When I needed a CO2 monitor and couildn't decide on the right one, Chip picked one up on the way to my home just in time for the home inspection. He also helped stage my home beautifully. I am convinced the quick sale had much to do with Chip's services and advice. When buying my last home, he could always point out things that I was not aware of, such as telltale cracks, dodgy foundations, or imperfectly laid flooring. Always on top of things, with an easygoing and friendly personality to boot, Chip has been a joy to work with." - Glenn M.
"We purchased our very first home in Sacramento several years ago and sold it this year with Chip as our agent for both transactions. The process was daunting and there were, of course, hiccups along the way; but Chip was absolutely wonderful helping us navigate both the process of buying and later selling our home. He is personable, highly knowledgeable, easily accessible, and will work very hard to get you the best possible outcome. Simply cannot say enough nice things about him and would strongly recommend him as your agent if you are looking to buy or sell a home in the Sacramento area." - eknordsieck
"I've known Chip for a long time and he is the consummate real estate agent. I recently purchased a home in Sacramento with his help and he is excellent on every level. He has great communication skills and was extremely hands-on throughout the transaction. He is honest, personable, and knows the Sacramento market better than anyone. I highly recommend him, and would use him again in a heartbeat." - jalita
"Chip was always quick to respond to questions and show properties we were interested in. The negotiation went smoothly as did his tracking of the escrow process all the way through closing. It's nice to know we have a friend in Chip O'Neill." - gregalves
"Chip was wonderful to work with, he was very hard-working, reliable, honest and professional. The house was listed less than two weeks when we got an offer, and the whole negotiation and escrow process was very smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend Chip to anyone looking for a fantastic realtor to help them buy or sell a home." - Rachel B.
"I am honored to write a review for Chip O'Neal. He is a great, friendly and honest relator! Chip worked with me for over a year screening for and looking for the perfect house for my needs. He knows the region well. When doing walk throughs he pointed out problems with many houses and was really good at estimating the value of houses and cost of potential repairs. He indicated when a house was a worth what they were asking and when it would be better to look elsewhere. Unlike some other relators that just want to make a sale, he focused on making sure the needs of his client was met. Chip is also a skilled and diplomatic negoitiator, which also helps immensely. I highly recommend Chip O'Neal as a relator." - Dr. Jimmy
