About

Chad Hardisty | Trusted Greater Eastside Real Estate Advisor | Downsizing Specialist | Residential Broker
Real estate is personal-and after more than 24 years helping clients buy and sell homes across the Greater Eastside of Washington, I believe the best results come from honest advice, clear communication, and a strategy built around your goals.

I serve homeowners, buyers, downsizers, and investors throughout Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, Sammamish, Redmond, Renton, and surrounding King County communities, specializing in helping people navigate important life transitions with confidence.

My mission is simple: treat clients like family, lead with integrity, and deliver practical, profitable advice that protects your best interests.

What makes my approach different is the depth of experience I bring beyond the transaction.

With a degree in Mechanical Engineering and hands-on construction experience, I help clients evaluate homes through a sharper technical lens, often identifying opportunities, risks, and solutions others may miss. Whether it's understanding structure, deferred maintenance, remodeling potential, or long-term ownership costs, I help simplify the details so you can make smarter decisions.

For condominium buyers and sellers, my experience as a former Board President of a 52-unit condominium association provides valuable insight into HOA operations, reserve studies, builder transitions, and ownership challenges.

For planned community homeowners, my leadership as former President of a 289-home residential community gives my clients a unique understanding of CCRs, governance, and community living. Important details that often impact both lifestyle and resale value.

As a third-generation Realtor and Managing Broker, I combine old-school values with modern, measurable marketing strategies designed to maximize exposure, drive demand, and produce stronger results.

My specialties include:

• Downsizing and transition planning for long-time homeowners
• First-time homebuyers needing education and strategy
• Move-up and lifestyle-driven buyers
• Residential home sales and strategic home preparation
• Condominiums and HOA-guided properties
• Vacant land and recreational property
• Vacation homes and off-grid properties across Washington

Clients often describe me as calm, direct, honest, and highly strategic, a trusted advisor who removes stress, solves problems, and keeps the process moving.

Outside of real estate, you'll find me with my family exploring the outdoors - hiking, fishing, skiing, camping, paddle boarding, and boating. As an Eagle Scout, service, preparedness, and integrity continue to guide both my life and business.

If you're considering selling, downsizing, buying, or simply want trusted advice about your next move, let's connect.
