We recently used Chad and his team for the third time. Chad is knowledgable about the Jackson market and is always helpful and responsive. He not only helped us negotiate a fair contract, but he worked hard to get us across the finishline. There were several bumps in the road this time and Chad and his team did an excellent job helping us navigate them successfully to close. We strongly recommend Chad Budge and his team. 2022
We recently worked with Dianne Budge and we had a wonderful experience. We are out of town buyers and she went out of her way for FaceTime showings, answering all of our questions, meeting with professionals on site to help with the buying process. She was always extremely responsive to any of our questions whether by email, phone or text. I highly recommend working with Dianne. Thank-you for making our buying process so easy!
Chad, Dianne and Rebekkah provided us with excellent ideas on how to remodel our house for a quick sale, from interior kitchen redesign, landscaping changes to a contemporary new home siding and color choice. Professional all the way, from helping set the time to list the home to final negotiations. We were pleased, receiving two full price offers before the listing appeared on local Multiple Listing pages. 2020
Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care it is about the safest investment in the world. - Franklin D. Roosevelt
Buying a house is like buying a CD. Chad Budge
In 2014, I moved to Wyoming to serve at Grand Teton National Park. Years of military service and travels included living in eight different states. It was time to identify a place that I could truly call home. After my third day of ranger service, I proceeded to Jackson and formally established residency in Wyoming.
Located in Teton County, Jackson is a town characterized by friendly and helpful citizens. Its medical center is rated best for health care in Wyoming (and among the top 100 facilities nationwide). Impressive schools. A modern library. Dozens of locally owned stores. An in-town ski resort. The list goes on and on.
But locating a home in Jackson can be challenging. Enter Chad Budge.
Chad hails from a family lineage with ties to the first citizens to homestead in Jackson. Indeed, one of the streets in town is identified as Budge Drive. Having lived his entire life in Jackson, and as a graduate of the University of Wyoming, Chad is well known and respected in the real estate profession.
I had never purchased a home until July 2018. Home ownership is a dream for many people living in America. I wanted to join those ranks of homeowners too. But the process can be perplexing, even intimidating. Especially for first time buyers. Chad made the entire process a most positive experience. It was neither perplexing nor intimidating. Rather, I would define my experience as rewarding.
Chad was the consummate real estate professional. He understood that as a first time buyer, I would naturally have concerns and questions. During the initial walk-through of the house, he was careful to explain all of its features. Over the course of four hours in his office, he patiently explained each paragraph of the contract in understandable terms. He recommended a building inspector who previously surveyed the house in 2006. Chad coordinated meetings with local professionals who conducted title searches, escrow services, and financing options. I always felt most reassured and comfortable with every recommendation that he had made during each step of the home purchase. Indeed, the entire process between touring the home and formal closing was a mere three weeks.
While working with Chad, I concluded that buying a house is like buying a CD. The process simply reduced to transferring paper assets to a physical asset. Moreover, historical real estate data show that a home purchase in Jackson will likely appreciate at a much higher rate of return that any CD. The advice shared by Chad is wisdom that I occasionally revisit when I open my front door.
To conclude, I highly recommend anyone who is considering residency in Jackson, or in the greater Jackson Hole area, to contact Chad. He has a genuine desire and unbridled drive to help prospective buyers find their future home regardless of price bracket. First time buyers and experienced homeowners alike, he ensures that his clients goals are his first priority. Their personal interests are always paramount. By contacting Chad Budge, I trust that you will find as equally a rewarding experience for all of your real estate needs.
Chad and I grew up together, so when the time came to sell our family home we knew we could count on him. He has lived in Jackson his whole life and knows his business. We were pleased and recommend him and his team without reservation. Chad went the extra mile at every step in the process, and we were also impressed with the way his team worked together to get the job done. We would definitely call on them again. 2017
Chad was professional and was great to work with. This property was in a family trust and was not the easiest property to sell. He sold are property in a short amount of time and answered all of the family's questions. 2018
I have now purchased two homes and sold one with Chad and his team in the Jackson area over the past four years. Chad is unquestionably one of (and arguably the) best realtors I have ever worked with, and there have been quite a few in California, New York and Connecticut over the years. nChad knows his market inside out, takes the time to understand and know his customers, is a good listener, gives straight forward reliable and informed advice and always put his client's interest first, as opposed to just wanting to close a deal. I can recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone seeking to buy or sell a property in the Jackson Hole market. 2017
The Budge Team is extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate scene and have been established for a long time. I don't know for a fact, but they probably helped Davey Jackson get his first log cabin. I primarily worked with Dianne, who is proactive, is always available, and gets to know the client to best serve them. This is my second transaction with Budge and will work with them again in any future Jackson Hole property transactions. 2016
I highly recommend Dianne Budge and the entire Budge Realty Group team. Partnering with Dianne over the previous ten years while residing both out of state and locally, I have successfully completed three real estate transactions involving both land and personal residence. All three experiences were positive. Direction, opinion, communication, availability and follow thru all led to smooth closings. 2016
