Chaplin Partners at Compass / Diana Chaplin & Avery Chaplin

"Diane and Avery provided exceptional perspective, support, marketing skills, and flexibility in the sale of our house and facilitating the purchase of our new home. They provided a deftly researched perspective on value, enabling an optimal asking price, and were able to leverage the market to provide competition between buyers. We were selling our “dream house” 25 years after we had it built, mainly to downsize, as our kids had moved on. After the house went on the market, we fell into an unusual situation. One of the prospective buyers lived in a house that we actually were interested in, and so the potential of a house swap emerged. Diana provided ongoing guidance to help maximize the benefits of this transaction and showed marked flexibility in transitioning from the original scope of our contract, which did not initially involve our purchasing a home. Her skilled work enabled us to find a second “dream house” we had previously admired though was not even on the market, and also remain in the same neighborhood. Avery deserves special credit for his incredible photographic skills, which made our house so appealing in the ads, including the one that attracted the buyer. We definitely highly recommend Chaplin Partners at Compass to others hoping to sell their homes. Alan and Debbie Brush"

"Diana and Avery did an outstanding job helping us find the right buyer for our home. Highly professional, great marketing capabilities and a “whatever it takes” attitude to ensure getting to a successful sale/closing. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly for the buyer and seller. We highly recommend Chaplin Partners."

"Diana & Avery helped us sell our house and buy our new house. Avery took amazing pictures, which helped give our house a LOT of exposure on platforms like Zillow. Diana arranged staging through one of her many contacts with very little notice, we already had good furniture, but the staging greatly increased the appeal of our home. More importantly, they got us the best selling price! We were buying in a seller's market, the house we bought had 7 bids, our offer was accepted with a very slim $$$ difference, Diana's real estate knowledge and experience helped us make the most attractive offer, without us feeling like we bid too much. Bonus is that they made the whole process manageable, with the least amount of stress, they are both a pleasure to work with! I cannot thank Diana and Avery enough. I LOVE our new home!"

"After 53 wonderful years in our home at 14 Pollywog Lane we asked Diana and Avery to sell our house. It was just as the Covid19 pandemic was roiling the country. They did a marvelous job finding just the right buyer, a young couple who appreciated the safe location, the warm and welcoming neighborhood, and the adjacent pond to provide skating in the winter and a lovely viewscape in summer. Diana provided excellent advice on getting the house ready for sale, and masterminded the many tasks needed to make that happen. The outcome, both in timing and final sale price exceeded our expectations. We are very happy with our choice, and unhesitatingly recommend Chaplin/Compass to anyone contemplating a real estate transaction."

"We chose Chaplin Partners at Compass for their approach to marketing. As time drew near to list our home, they exceeded expectations. They did an exhaustive photo shoot, putting together a very good representation of the property. Their market timing was optimal, capturing a period of buyer interest at the beginning of the spring selling season. Their guidance in readying the house so potential buyers could see its best features and possibilities was excellent. And finally, we put a high value on their practice of attending every showing. They went through the house with every potential buyer, actively selling the property. We had a very acceptable offer within a week of listing and closed shortly thereafter. Chaplin Partners advances the new paradigm in real estate transactions. We would strongly recommend them to anyone who is selling a home."
