David Chase
Chasing Dreams Real Estate · Bloomington, MN
Updated July 2026
Editorial evaluation
8.3/ 10
Very good
Strong public evidence, with limitations still worth reviewing
Evidence confidence
Low10/100
Documentation completeness and reliability—not agent quality.
A two-decade Twin Cities Realtor and Bloomington broker-owner who has lived in the area since 1982, running his own small independent brokerage rather than a large franchise team.
Pros
- ✓20+ years of licensed experience and roughly four decades living in the local area
- ✓Holds the GRI designation and is an active NAR/MAR/SPAAR member
- ✓Zillow 5-Star Premier Agent status and a Nextdoor 'Favorite' badge won multiple years running
- ✓Homes.com-verified 'Responds Quickly' badge, and testimonials specifically cite responsiveness
- ✓Runs his own brokerage, giving direct control over marketing and pricing strategy rather than following a franchise playbook
Cons
- ✗Bloomington is roughly one-fifth of his total sales volume; his practice covers the broader Twin Cities, not exclusively Bloomington
- ✗As broker-owner of a 5-agent shop, some sales attributed to the team may involve his associate agents rather than David personally
- ✗No single independently verified numeric review count was found (his Zillow badge is a status tier, not a published star/count pairing)

Ranking disclosure
Why this ranking appears in this order
This profile evaluates David Chase against other researched agents using the same scoring model; it is not a statewide MLS production ranking. The displayed order follows the published five-factor score. The math is fixed; the five input scores are editorial evaluations of the public evidence available through July 2026.
- Ranking formula
- Local knowledge 25% + client reviews 25% + market expertise 20% + communication 15% + specialization fit 15%.
- Time period
- Evidence reviewed through July 2026. Review totals are snapshots; career claims may cover longer periods and must state that context.
- Objective vs. editorial
- The weighted calculation is deterministic after the inputs are assigned. Selecting evidence and assigning each dimension score require editorial judgment.
- Commercial independence
- Agents cannot purchase inclusion, a score, numbered position, or favorable verdict. Any sponsorship must appear outside the editorial ranking.
- Transaction-data boundary
- This edition does not use a private MLS feed or a standardized file of verified 2025 closings. Sales volume, homes sold, sale-to-list ratio, and days on market are not assumed when attributable evidence is unavailable.
- Independent corroboration
- Government records control licensing facts. Brokerage, agent, review-platform, award, and production claims are kept distinct; agreement across sources raises confidence but does not erase source limitations.
Evidence captured for this profile
- Minnesota license record
- No license number is stored in this profile; use the state lookup for current status.
- Public review aggregate
- No review aggregate is recorded; missing data is not treated as zero.
- Professional first-party source
- Chasing Dreams Real Estate is linked for direct review of the agent's current public claims.
Exact field-level source URLs are not yet available for every narrative claim. Until they are, production and award statements should be treated as attributed public claims—not as independently audited MLS facts.
