Deepak Chauhan — Associate Broker & Real Estate Advisor

Serving Irvine, Lake Forest, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, and surrounding Orange County communities.

Buying or selling a home is one of the most important financial decisions most people make. My goal is to make that decision clearer, calmer, and easier for you. I focus on straightforward guidance, reliable communication, and a respectful, no-pressure experience that protects your goals at every step.

I’ve worked in Orange County real estate since 2007 and have experienced the market shift through multiple cycles. That long-term perspective, combined with advanced training—Associate Broker licensing, Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI), Master Certified Negotiation Expert (MCNE), Mortgage Loan Originator experience, and technical certification as a Certified Energy Manager (CEM) from the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE)—gives me a deeper understanding of home systems, energy efficiency, and long-term property performance. This blend of real estate, negotiation, lending, and engineering-level insight allows me to evaluate situations with balanced judgment and attention to the details that truly matter.

Real estate keeps evolving—both in how homes are evaluated and how buyers make decisions. I stay ahead of these changes by continually sharpening the tools and information I rely on, so you always receive clear, current guidance. Technology and research work quietly in the background; what you experience is a simple, organized process that makes each decision easier and more confident.

My clients trust my proactive communication and the steady, grounded perspective I bring to complex situations. Whether we’re preparing a property for sale, evaluating repairs, reviewing financing scenarios, or structuring an offer, I break things down so you understand what matters today and how certain conditions may affect future expenses, maintenance, and the experience of the next occupant.

I work with Versailles Property, a boutique Irvine-based brokerage known for professionalism and high-integrity oversight. The firm provides strong support and experienced supervision, allowing me to stay focused on organized transactions and reliable client service. I’m also licensed to originate mortgage loans through trusted lending partners, giving clients access to a wide range of financing options with simple, clarity-first guidance. This integrated structure keeps the entire process coordinated from start to finish.

I’ve lived in Orange County for more than 40 years, primarily in Irvine and Lake Forest. I know these neighborhoods deeply—not just through transactions, but through decades of day-to-day observation. Clients often share that they feel more at ease because I explain things clearly and bring a calm, steady presence to the process.

If you’re looking for a well-informed professional who prioritizes clarity, thoughtful guidance, and balanced judgment, I’m here to help you with what you may not yet know to ask for—so you can move through the real estate process with confidence and peace of mind.

What areas does HousesInSoCal serve?

I primarily serve Irvine, Lake Forest, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, and nearby Orange County communities, with additional support for out-of-area and out-of-state owners.

Both. I represent homeowners preparing to sell, including absentee owners, and buyers seeking clarity, long-term value, and strategic financing options.

As a Licensed Mortgage Loan Originator, I can evaluate offer strength, identify risky financing, explain loan options, and help structure offers that align with underwriting — giving you a clearer, safer decision path.

Yes. I frequently work with out-of-state owners who need a trusted local advisor to manage access, vendors, repairs, photos, and on-the-ground coordination.

I help with traditional sales, estate-related sales, tenant-occupied homes, major life transitions, and complex or sensitive situations where calm, structured guidance is especially important.

We begin with a no-pressure conversation about your goals, timelines, and property. From there, I outline clear options so you can decide what feels right.

A Practical Approach to Real Estate

Real estate in Orange County moves quickly. Buyers act fast. Sellers expect precision. And the best decisions come from someone who understands more than just pricing and photos.

I draw on a unique combination of experience that helps you see the whole picture:

  • Associate Broker — deeper training in contracts, negotiation, and risk management
  • Licensed Mortgage Loan Originator — underwriter-level insight into buyer strength and financing
  • MCNE — advanced training in negotiation frameworks, seller and buyer psychology, conflict resolution, and percentage-based strategies that protect client equity and keep conversations moving forward calmly and effectively
  • GRI — comprehensive coursework in contracts, legal compliance, real-estate systems, and negotiation; clients often say they feel more confident knowing their agent has this level of preparation
  • CEM & Environmental Health & Safety — trained through the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), I bring insight into major systems, energy efficiency, ventilation, and environmental risks. This helps clients understand maintenance needs and potential savings with clarity and confidence.
  • 17+ years in local markets — a depth of understanding that only comes from living and working in Orange County for decades

This blend of skills means I can explain things clearly, identify issues early, protect your position, and help you make decisions that truly fit your goals.

Clear communication

You’ll always know what’s happening, why it matters, and what comes next.

Clean, simple decision-making

I break complex situations into steps so you can move forward with confidence.

Our Expertise

Who I Serve

  • Homeowners preparing to sell, including out-of-state and absentee owners who need reliable local support. I coordinate access, connect you with reputable vendors, gather bids, and keep everything organized so you can make clear decisions from a distance. As a Licensed Mortgage Loan Originator, I also understand the financing side, which positions me to track a buyer’s loan progress and stay aware of key underwriter milestones throughout the approval process.
  • Buyers seeking clarity, long-term value, and access to incentives, loan approvals, rebates, and specialty financing options. With my combined roles as a REALTOR® and Mortgage Loan Originator, clients gain a helpful two-in-one advantage that often reveals choices they wouldn’t discover on their own.
  • Families facing delicate property situations — including estate matters, major life transitions, divorce, tenant-occupied homes, or other complex decisions. I help create a calm, structured path forward by keeping communication clear, explaining options, and coordinating the moving parts so the process feels less overwhelming. When situations involve legal steps such as evictions or divorce proceedings, I work alongside your legal team and support the real-estate side to keep everything moving smoothly.

What Makes This Approach Different

Many agents focus on appearance and pressure. I focus on understanding, accuracy, and strategy.

I look at the details others often overlook:

  • How a property will perform long-term
  • Which repairs matter and which don’t
  • Whether a buyer’s financing is strong or risky from a lender’s perspective.
  • How to position your offer so it’s both competitive and safe

This leads to cleaner transactions, fewer surprises, and outcomes that make sense.

If You’re Looking for Calm, Steady Guidance

You’re in the right place.
My goal is to help you understand the market, protect your investment, and move forward with clarity and peace of mind.

I’m grateful for the stability I’ve built here in Irvine, and I choose this work because I genuinely enjoy helping people through important moments.
When we talk, you’ll always get an honest, low-pressure conversation focused on what’s best for you — not what’s best for me.

Marc Family, Whittier

We migrated from the East Coast, we found Deepak on the internet and he helped us show homes in Irvine. We liked on property, it had massive upgrades and was for $799K we could not find a single flaw in the house. We wanted that house really bad, sellers had a long list of condition like closing escrow in few months. We could not wait, because I had to start my job in three weeks and my parents were planning on visiting us during that time. Deepak pulled his magic wand and settled down all the conditions listed by the sellers. He even stopped their open house scheduled the next day, we closed we are very happy in our house in Stonegate Irvine.
