The way you live in a home versus how you sell it are two different things. Staging your home creates a welcoming environment that sets the tone for potential purchasers to imagine living in your home.
At Chase, we believe in using professional photography to highlight your property. Everyone searches for homes online. High-quality, professional photos stand out, while amateur photos are ignored. You have seconds to make a positive first impression with buyers scanning hundreds of listings, so let us connect you with professional photographers who can portray your home in its best light.
Homes listed with video receive four times the inquiries of homes listed without video. Chase International up levels our listings with industry-leading video marketing using award-winning creative direction, cutting edge technology, aerial footage, and the most talented videographers in the industry.

At Chase International, we are proud to make a real difference in our world by supporting over 1,000 traditional rice farmers in Sri Lanka. Over 3.5 billion people consume rice, mostly unhealthy hybrid varieties. The Hela Bima Rice Project and Chase International join forces to grow 2,000-year-old pure, whole varieties of rice (hidden for over 500 years) with human loving, nature friendly and sustainable farming practices, using the wisdom of their ancestors. We support education, fund schools, build state-of-the-art, eco-friendly rice mills, storage and packaging facilities.
Since 2011, Chase International has empowered the farmers, their families, children and villages to live healthy lives. The Hela Bima Rice Project is awakening and educating the world, honoring the farmers, their rice and well-being. This relationship with the farmers creates a circle of abundance in all of our lives.
Making a difference: Our mission is to bring awareness to how we see FOOD, giving value and respect for all human beings.
What’s your home worth?
Let’s get started.
I am so happy, excited and grateful that Chase International is wealthy in all realms. We are a vibrant community that embraces abundance, integrity and fulfillment of all our dreams.
As a seasoned professional in the real estate business since 2001, Elisa has had the opportunity to study and participate in the ebb and flow of the industry selling on the San Mateo County coast and San Francisco. This experience has garnered a genuine understanding of what it takes to help my clients buy or sell a home in any market condition.
She’s well valued for her respect of her clients’ time and is always available through the latest technology or a good old-fashioned phone call. Dedicated, thorough, and compassionate, Elisa is determined to make a simple sale—or a more complex and intricate transaction—a manageable and gratifying experience for her clients. For many years, Elisa honed her ability to work with all walks of life in the media production business as a freelancer in the Bay Area - a profession that required her to carefully listen to her clients’ needs in short fashion before cameras rolled. “Diligence and perseverance have always served me well. It’s these tools and more that allow me to treat my clients’ interests with great reverence. I will consistently go the extra mile to exceed their needs and expectations.”
Elisa is involved in a variety of service groups where she is able to play an active role in our beautiful community that keeps a finger on the city’s pulse. She is involved in volunteering for Dress for Success helping women prepare returning to the workforce. She loves floating the Truckee River, paddling our many lakes, and taking advantage of the expansive hiking trails in our area. It’s this passion for community that helps drive her to best meet each and every client’s needs. Elisa is licensed in both California and Nevada, with office locations in Truckee and Reno.
