Vidal Chavez is a seasoned pro and savvy negotiator when it comes to helping clients find the best investments. Whether you're seeking a home or investment property on the Upper East Side or downtown where he lives, you'll be in good hands with the quality experience, dedication, and knowledge Vidal brings to every deal.

Vidal's great focus and discipline were honed in the military, where he served in the USMC Reserves and was activated for the Persian Gulf War. These strong values carried over into his detail-oriented careers in international private banking, mortgage banking, and real estate, and in the expert service, he has continually provided his clients.

"I treat each individual's real estate purchase just as if were my own, with utmost care and responsibility," says Vidal, whose keen market insight inspired the sound purchase of his condo just before the recession of 2001 - a move that launched his real estate career. Vidal enjoys sharing this same insight with first-time homebuyers, those who are relocating, investors he works with, or anyone looking to buy or sell property in New York City. His expertise is enhanced through his success in the worlds of private banking, then mortgage banking gained during his real estate career, which armed Vidal well to help qualify buyers, and guide them properly in the right home purchase and mortgage choice.

Formerly an International Private Banker for Chase Manhattan Bank and Bank Julius Baer, one of the largest private Swiss Banks based in Zurich, Vidal, a Series 7 license holder with the SEC, is intimately familiar with consulting high-net-worth clients. This worldly and well-traveled professional has lived and visited Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Cuba, and Europe, ultimately moving to Manhattan from the Bay Area over 20 years ago. A graduate of the University of California at Berkeley with a double major in History and Political Economies in Industrialized Societies, Vidal is multilingual in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. He resides, owns his property, and is president of his condo board in the West Village. Vidal enjoys all forms of organized cycling, raising funds for cancer through The Livestrong Foundation, and other fun challenges like Tough Mudder in his spare time.
