Chandra Simms Austin, TX Real Estate Agent Headshot

Chandra Simms

A native Texan, Chandra was born in Fort Worth and grew up in Denton. As an undergraduate, she earned a BA in History and International Studies and studied British History and Politics in England, and Mandarin Chinese at Tunghai University in Taiwan. Chan later attended graduate school in Michigan, studying International Development and Diplomacy. After college, Chan returned to Texas, spending several years working in NPO and NGO administration and consulting.
 
In 2006, Chan purchased her first home, a midcentury ranch style built in 1952. What began as minor updates soon led to a full renovation project lasting three years. Supervising the restoration of her home provided a crash course in all things electrical, environmental, plumbing, and structural. The experience changed her life, and the knowledge and experience she obtained sparked a desire to help others navigate the home buying, building, and owning processes.
 
In addition to her personal experiences, Chan’s education and professional background in finance, communication, negotiation, and diplomacy help her deliver a positive homebuying experience for each of her clients. Chan works tirelessly to ensure her clients thoroughly understand the buying and selling process, get the answers they need, and find a home they love.
 
In addition to helping her clients, Chan is also passionate about using her time and resources to benefit the community. She serves as an Election Judge for Travis County and previously served as a Policy Ambassador for the Austin Board of REALTORS®. She is an avid supporter of local organizations including the Austin Opera, Preservation Austin, ProjectArt Wimberley, Austin Pets Alive, the Blanton Museum of Art, and Austin Wildlife Rescue.
 
Chan lives in South Austin with her partner of 17 years and their cats: Madeline Albright, Ginger Rogers, Luna Lovegood, and their cockatiel, Howard Hughes. When not working, she and Ben enjoy collecting art, sampling Austin’s renowned local restaurants, listening to live music, and planning their next trip to new parts of the world.

"I have to say we were very lucky to have moved across the street from Chan. She was a great neighbor and an excellent realtor. She went above and beyond to help stage our house and negotiate the selling agreement for us as best as possible, given our circumstances. It has been a pleasure working with her, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a realtor who will look out for them and negotiate in their best interest. Thank you, Chan!"

"Chan went above and beyond when we found out the inspection for our new home was not accurate and worked well with the previous owner to make the repairs that were required. She sells homes as if she were the one buying them, showing dedication and care for each client. You cannot say that about many realtors."

"Chan has helped me successfully buy and sell three homes and has helped me land my dream ranch property in the Hill Country. I could not have done this without her expertise. She puts everything she has into making her clients’ dreams come true and genuinely cares about getting the best outcome. I have never seen someone go so above and beyond for people as Chan. She has helped many of my friends buy, sell, and find their dream homes, too, and we sincerely recommend her to everyone. If you want someone who will fight for you and work super hard with genuine care, concern, and thoughtful expertise, go with Chan!"

"Chan is a realtor extraordinaire! Thanks to her, we are moving into our dream home. She is a master negotiator and was able to get everything we asked for from the seller and then some. She was professional, very responsive, and fought for us from beginning to end, nearly a year in the making. She even worked for us when she was on vacation. We could not be happier with our decision to work with Chan, and I highly recommend her to anyone else looking for their dream home."

"Chan was very knowledgeable about the area and what people are looking for when they view a house. She helped me stage the property, and the house sold the day it went on the market because Chan’s skills in marketing and advertising the property were phenomenal."

"Chan Simms is the only agent we will ever work with! She really cares about your wants and needs and has home buying and selling down to a science. Chan helped us sell our home and was available and knowledgeable every step of the way, even during our remodel. She helped us make wise decisions during the entire process and helped us get the most back when selling. With Chandra’s help, we accepted a great offer out of many the evening of our listing. Such a relief! She then patiently helped us find our perfect new home and made herself available to us anytime we needed her. She paid attention to everything we cared about, location, neighborhoods, schools, and parks. She really knows the area. We would have been so lost during this whole process without her expertise, knowledge, and guidance. I will absolutely use Chan the next time I have real estate needs and recommend her to everyone."

"I was moving from out of state into Austin, TX, and my wife and I knew almost nothing about the area. Not only did Chan have expert knowledge of the housing market, but her negotiation skills are top-notch. This is the third home that I have purchased, and I can state with absolute confidence that Chan handled every aspect of the home buying process with tremendous professionalism and masterful expertise. All of that aside, she was a great communicator and very friendly. She helped plug my wife and me into Austin through her extensive local connections, and she spent so much of her time ensuring that we were familiar with everything Austin has to offer. I am very grateful for Chan. I did not think that buying a home in a city and state that I had never been to before could be so painless! If you have the opportunity to work with Chan, do not pass up the incredible opportunity! Thank you, Chan!"

"Chan was a constant companion during the six-month search for my home. As a longtime renter in Austin, I assumed I had a good idea of my options, but Chan was essential in navigating the turbulent local market and finding a spectacular home suited to my wish list and budget. Likewise, as a first-time home buyer, Chan’s expertise at every level of the purchase process was essential to my understanding and decision-making. At all times, I felt educated and empowered. She was always readily available for viewings or to answer my questions. I would highly recommend Chan’s services to any prospective homebuyers!"

"Chan helped me select and negotiate with the builder for my first home, guided me through upgrades, and walked me through the entire process of buying a house for the first time. I have referred several friends and co-workers to Chan for both rental and purchasing needs, and I have received nothing but glowing reports of her work!"

"Chandra is one of the hardest-working realtors in her field. We are about to close on our Austin home with her, and we could not be happier with how well we worked together. We gave her our list of wants and needs for our new home, and after only a few showings, she knew exactly what we were looking for. Since we were driving six hours just to come to Austin to look, she fine-tuned our list so we did not have to wade through showings that would not match our family’s needs. Chandra is well-established in Austin and knows her neighborhoods and amenities as only a true Austinite would. She was aggressive with our negotiations and made sure we were getting the house we needed and all the necessary repairs to our property. She was always on call when we had questions, and because we had a shortened timeline for finding a new home and lived six hours away, she took us on marathon weekend house-hunting expeditions and got us the house we needed by our deadline. I highly recommend utilizing her vast knowledge of the Austin and surrounding areas, especially Dripping Springs and Wimberley, when searching for your new home."

"Great experience finding our new home! Chan was very knowledgeable about different parts of the city and took the time to really understand what we wanted in a family home. She was very responsive to our questions and very patient as we navigated through the offer process. She was great to have in our corner when it came time to negotiate! I hope I do not have to move again for a very long time, but I would use Chan again without hesitation."
