My name is Chet Hockett and I'm a Realtor in the greater Sarasota area. My region of focus is Venice, Englewood and the Nokomis community I call home. I am originally from Indiana where I have over 30 years of customer service experience. I’ve worked in the newspaper industry, automotive sales and I owned and operated a jewelry and coin store. The customer was always the top priority in all of these fields and I enjoyed serving my community.
I have been married to my beautiful wife Tonja for almost 25 years and have 2 adult children. I fell in love with South Florida at a very young age. I was lucky enough to have grandparents that lived down here so I visited as often as possible growing up. I always knew I would eventually call Florida my home! After our children went out on their own we knew it was time and we’ve never looked back.
Some of my hobbies include trading stocks, collecting sportscards, nature photography and hunting for fossils. The stock market is really more than just a hobby for me. Understanding the trends of the markets is extremely helpful in the real estate world as well. If you are looking for a laid back but professional real estate agent then give me a call, text or email. Myself and my team will work hard to help you with all of your real estate needs!

Chet was great to work with and always there to help and answer any questions. We were out of town after going into contract and Chet was our eyes and hears to make sure everything was progressing on schedule. Highly recommend Chet. He is also a great guy

Chet did a great job refereeing a purchase resulting in a win-win for all involved. He was very good at keeping all parties up to speed in real time including title company and multiple insurance agents and meeting with home inspector and appraiser.
I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling.
Plus all his referrals were excellent, i.e. mortgage broker, landscaper and exterminator.

I know I’ve already left a recommendation for Chet; however, that one I wrote because he did a great job helping me find a house to buy. This time, he represented me as seller’s agent. Once again, Chet went above and beyond and did a great job. I would recommend him to anyone on either side of the deal.

We had a unique and difficult to market investment property to sell in Nokomis. Chet held several open houses and conveyed helpful and accurate information to the numerous lookers. He guided the buyers (and us) through the sometimes problematic appraisal, inspection, and financial situation ultimately resulting in happy sellers and a happy buyer. We appreciate his optimistic nature and persistence throughout. Thank you, Chet!

I highly recommend Chet. I was in a situation where I was in need of an affordable but furnished place to move within 30 days and he was able to get me a showing the day I reached out to him and an offer accepted that same day. He has been very good at communicating through this whole process and made the drive several times to meet with me at the property. He goes above and beyond for his clients!

Chet recently helped me find a new home in Venice. I highly recommend him to anyone whether buying or selling.
I live in Michigan and was on a very tight schedule when I came to town to look at houses. Chet made himself availble any and every time I needed him - usually on very short notice. He helped us through the closing and even after the closing with anything we needed, which was quite a lot because we were closing from out-of-state. I'd have given him an extra star if I could.

Chet did a very professional job selling our home. He's an effective communicator and stays on top of the transaction from beginning to end. He has gone above and beyond for us and we look forward to having him help us find our next home.
Thanks Chet, you're the best Realtor we've had in a really long time!

I am extremely pleased with Chet’s commitment to find a home in my price range, which seemed almost impossible. I was getting very discouraged and ready to give up, Chet continued to assure me he would find the right home for me within my price range. Chet is dedicated to his clients, I feel he has his clients best interest at hand. Very nice guy, highly recommended. Sincerely, Jeff Massey

I really loved working with Chet. He made the transaction stress free and was really dedicated to helping everyone involved. I highly recommend him as your real estate professional!

Chet was helpful from start to finish in our process to buy a home from a thousand miles away. He met with us to look at houses and made major recommendations during the search, negotiated terms and pricing for us, and communicated with us through the entire journey through closing. He will even be helping us after closing until we are settled in Florida. Thanks Chet!
