For Tisha Chafer, “when experience counts” is more than just a tagline. It’s the philosophy behind the real difference she can make for her clients after 20 years in real estate.

“I’ve lived here since 1996 and raised my children here, so I’ve gained a familiarity with just about anything—schools, sports, all those questions that new residents have,” she said. “That experience also lets me be an expert in particular markets like the condo market. It’s an entirely different animal than buying a house, and I’ve helped hundreds of people buy them.”

Mountains or ocean? Both!

What podcast do you listen to for inspiration or to learn from?

Chafer has also owned her share. As a flipper, she’s bought and renovated nearly every kind of property on the island you can imagine. “My clients are really able to use me as a resource—paint, flooring, contractors, I know them all,” she said. “Believe me, I’m very familiar with buying something that needs work.”

Whether it’s someone moving their family to the area, someone looking for an investment property, or someone who wants to get the most out of their property, Tisha Chafer knows because she’s been there. And that’s what she means when she says experience counts.

“With me, clients are getting someone who has built a custom home, worked for a national builder, and buys and sells properties herself,” she said. “When people work with me, they’re working with someone who truly understands what they are going through.”
