For Chad, the art and business of homes is second nature. Growing up in Silicon Valley, Chad's father began buying, remodeling, and selling homes long before the explosion of growth and property values. Chad learned how to build houses long before he learned how to sell them. Growing up the son of a builder also meant frequent relocation and living in Silicon Valley's different neighborhoods and cities. This immersive tour of the Bay Area gave Chad a unique knowledge of the region, and it taught him the value of home.
Chad understands how emotional buying property in Northern California can be, but he's a ready guide, having lived through the buying and selling process many different times. Rinu Real Estate exists to point people toward the best properties and investment outcomes with professionalism, authenticity, and dedication to the client. Chad is fiercely dedicated to helping his customers see the whole picture, from the literal integrity of the property, to the financial integrity of the deal.
The word "Rinu" is not just a clever marketing re-spelling of "renew." It's an old Manx word for a mountain ridgeline or a high vantage point. Chad chose this as the name for his business because it represents a locale where one can see the whole picture, unobstructed.
Chad's life centers around more than just work, and you'll often find him, his wife Lara, and their two children camping, biking, boating, or hanging out in their Saratoga backyard playing with their dogs.

Palo Alto is one of the most sought-after communities in the Bay Area (and the country). A few of the desirable and most expensive areas are Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park, and University South. In terms of desirability and price, these neighborhoods vary significantly from other areas throughout the 94301, 94303, 94304, 94305, and 94306 zip codes – so the buyers who are searching here can carry drastically different characteristics.
For example, most buyers looking in 94306 want top schools, whereas buyers searching in 94301 don’t need the top public schools because they want the larger homes and can afford to put their kids in private school. And East Palo Alto is usually going to attract buyers who want to live close to Palo Alto but can’t afford the other zip codes.
Why is this important? Because the characteristics of a homebuyer are usually tied to their desired area and property type. And the best Palo Alto real estate agents formulate a strategic marketing plan around the characteristics of your potential buyer that put you in the best position to sell your home quickly and for the best price.
Here’s how the top Palo Alto realtors are able to attract the perfect buyer:
- Understand who your potential buyers are.
- Know which selling features of your property are most attractive to those buyers (every home has one or more).
- Provide key advice about how to maximize your home’s appearance (in many cases, for little to no cost).
- Make your property stand out from other homes for sale (staging, professional photos, video, listing description, etc).
- Utilize the right marketing channels to maximize the reach to the ideal target audience and their buyer’s agents.
There are several reasons why the most reputable seller agents are considered the best. Deploying a strategic marketing plan is only one of them.
