Pleasantly Persistent!
Ranked as one of America’s Best Real Estate Agents and #117 in all of Florida by REAL Trends’ 2019 Ranking Report.
With creativity and vision, Chip Falkanger has devoted himself to real estate in South Florida for 20 years, applying a client-focused blend of data-driven analytics and unsurpassed grassroots savvy. Only satisfied if expectations have been exceeded, Chip delivers personalized service using cutting-edge marketing. Whether purchasing or selling your dream home, waterfront lot, or investment opportunity, Chip has you covered! While real estate brokerage has always been his main focus, Chip has additionally developed, constructed, and designed several luxury projects over the years, a perspective he strategically draws from when supporting clients.
In his youth, Chip had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience by working summers at his father’s architecture firm in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Shadowing his dad and observing seasoned developers and contractors plot their course gave him the insight and inspiration to pursue a profession in real estate.
Chip began his career in the now revitalized Downtown Delray Beach, spearheading several award-winning developments, and handling the acquisition, design concept, and ultimately the sales. His efforts were essential in the rebirth of what Rand McNally calls the “Most Fun Small Town in America.”
Motivated to more deeply embrace his roots, Chip moved back to Fort Lauderdale in 2011 to reposition himself and assume meaningful involvement in the burgeoning downtown. He quickly brokered several luxury waterfront deals and again was involved in the acquisition, design/development, and sale of several “spec” homes in the Las Olas area.
As a real estate advisor to his clients, Chip Falkanger has successfully guided buyers and sellers through myriad complex transactions totaling over $350 million. Possessing deep working knowledge and a unique skillset, Chip understands all aspects of real estate, providing value-added services throughout his dealings. Often described as pleasantly persistent, his in-depth understanding of the Greater Fort Lauderdale market and solutions-oriented approach enable him to confidently transcend his client’s expectations time and time again!
