01 · Who I Am
Born here. Still here.
I've lived in Chico my whole life and have been helping families buy and sell here since 2017. Before real estate I worked in banking, so I know the right lenders to connect you with and how to keep the process moving.
On weekends you'll usually find me in the mountains working cattle. I bring that same work ethic to every client: show up, be patient, be honest, and do what's best for your family.

What clients are saying.
5.0 stars on Zillow. Excerpts from verified client reviews.
We weren't really sure about the process of buying, but we did know we wanted to buy our first home this year. He had the full process printed out and explained it to us in great detail… Raudel was very helpful, attentive, and organized through the entire process. We highly recommend Raudel to anyone looking to buy a home.
Raudel is a very helpful and communicative realtor who was very nice to work with through the home buying process… He was also understanding and helpful with our requests and needs as first time home buyers!
Everything that seemed daunting and unclear became very easy… The best thing about working with him is that he is very genuine and kind. He always made us feel that we were his top priority… We simply could not imagine purchasing another property with anyone else.
