Four decades on the same streets leaves a lot behind, and most of it never gets written down. Raju Chhabria founded this firm in 1984, and his sons are writing some of it down here, a piece at a time: the way he worked, the way he read this market, the way he dealt with the people who hired him. His story is on our About page.
What did Raju Chhabria do when the market shifted?
Neil Chhabria
Our father worked through more market shifts than I can count, and he never led with the market. He led with why someone was moving, and by when. Jobs change, people retire, a house stops fitting. We still start there, and the market is what we plan around after. Raju would say that the market you are in is the market you have got, and then guide the client through to a successful close.
Raju Chhabria began selling on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in 1984 and was the number one agent at Shorewood Realtors every year from 1995 to 2014.
Every October the family walks the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Hermosa Beach in his memory. Anyone is welcome to join us.
