Jeffrey P. Chandler

Managing Broker, Chandler & Co. Real Estate Group

Jeff has worked in finance and real estate since 2006. His career began in commercial banking, where he underwrote and lent on real estate assets across multiple property types. From 2015 to 2019 he owned and operated a residential mortgage company, providing direct experience with borrower qualification, credit risk, and capital structuring across varying market conditions.

Beyond lending and brokerage, Jeff has worked with private investors and family offices on the evaluation, execution, and capitalization of real estate transactions. That exposure to the capital side of the business is the foundation of the firm’s approach to representation: priorities are framed in terms of underwriting, risk, and long-term outcomes — not transaction volume.

Jeff is the founder and managing broker of Chandler & Co. Real Estate Group LLC and a principal in Verterra Property Management LLC, the firm’s affiliated property management firm. The firm’s brokerage practice has closed over $65M in transactions across multifamily, office, medical, retail, industrial, student housing, and land — spanning Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

Philosophy

The best real estate outcomes come from preparation, honest analysis, and disciplined execution.

Our role is not to sell a deal. Our role is to guide decisions that hold up under scrutiny — before, during, and after a transaction. That distinction shapes everything else about how we work: the underwriting we run before we accept an engagement, the buyer relationships we cultivate before a property reaches the market, the way we structure compensation for the agents we recruit. If a brokerage’s incentive is only to close, the client is the variable. We prefer that the deal be the variable.
