Shari Chase Sells Chase International to Longtime Leaders
January 23, 2026 | Member Submitted
After nearly 40 years of building Chase International into a successful regional luxury real estate brokerage, founder Shari Chase has sold the company to Susan Lowe and Georgia Chase, who have helped lead the organization since its 1986 inception. Shari Chase will remain actively involved as founder and chair emeritus, providing strategic guidance and continuity.
“Chase International began as a vision I carried long before it became a company, a belief that business could be built on humanity, courage and trust,” said founder Shari Chase. “What we have created together is far more than an organization. It is a living legacy, and I am deeply proud of what it has become and how it will continue forward.”
“What began as a dream has grown into a firm known for integrity, market leadership and a heart-centered culture, with a strong presence throughout Northern California, Nevada and beyond,” said Sue Lowe. “It is as much as a company as it is a family where people are seen, valued and empowered and where extraordinary things unfold. Georgia Chase and I are honored to continue Shari’s legacy.”
According to Lowe, the firm will continue to operate as an independent brokerage “preserving local leadership, faster decision-making and its longstanding commitment to personalized service, community involvement and agent-focused leadership” as many regional firms are absorbed by national brands.
“As we enter this next chapter, we will continue to lead Chase International with confidence grounded in decades of experience and industry-leading achievements,” said Georgia Chase. “That foundation creates meaningful opportunity ahead for both our professionals and the buyers and sellers who rely on us for thoughtful guidance when the decisions matter most.”
“Our priority is simple,” Lowe said. “To protect what makes Chase special while continuing to strengthen the platform that supports our agents’ success. When our agents are supported at the highest level, buyers and sellers receive better guidance, better representation and more meaningful results.” ###
