Haideh Chew | 01152200 | Languages Spoken: English, French, Farsi
As a Luxury Property Specialist for Corcoran Icon Properties, I believe that a real estate transaction is much more than just buying or selling a home; it requires a commitment to the broader community and the people who live there. As a long-time resident of Piedmont, I have dedicated myself to the community's residents, teaching French at the Piedmont Language School, raising funds for the schools, and being active in the Children's Support League. I understand the concept of community and its importance to the people who live there. Since 1993, I have been working in the broader community, serving buyers and sellers in Piedmont, Montclair, Crocker Highlands, Claremont, Rockridge, and Berkeley with their diverse real estate needs, and because buying or selling a home is increasingly difficult in the Bay Area, I take special pride in helping my clients navigate the many complexities associated with this process. Whether it be marketing your home, searching out and finding the house that best fits your needs, taking you through the inspection process, or negotiating the best possible deal for you and your family, I have a reputation with my clients for being detailed oriented. If you are interested in listing your home, in the market for a new home, or would simply like to discuss your real estate needs, please contact me. It would be my pleasure to assist you.
For 28 years I taught French at the Piedmont Language School to over 300 students. I have also organized trips to France with my students. I speak English, French, Farsi and conversational Italian.
I have culinary experience and designed cooking classes at the Piedmont Adult School. I have also taught private cooking classes and catered weddings and office functions.

A Few Kind Words About Haideh
Haideh Chew not only sold our family home in Piedmont, but did so under the most extenuating circumstances. The owner, my mother, was hospitalized after a stroke and unable to communicate. We, her immediate family live in Los Angeles and were unable to oversee the house or sale. It had been my mother’s request prior to her stroke that if her home were to be sold, it should be done very quietly, without the MLS, and that no sign be posted in front of her home. This eliminated two major methods of advertising the availability.
These requirements were but challenges to Haideh. She showed the home privately, phoned other offices to notify her contacts who had clients interested a in Piedmont location, held open houses for realtors, and notified neighbors in the area that the home would soon be placed on the market. She arranged for house repairs and inspections, made security checks, and was in constant contact with us in Los Angeles, keeping us informed of every situation and event. We can not give enough praise or thanks to Haideh Chew. She is a lovely person, unbelievably enterprising and capable, and an excellent agent. - Sharon
It is rare, as one moves through life, to meet and know special people. People who are honest, have innate integrity and strength of character. You Haideh are one of those people -special- who has touched my life. For your guidance and support in helping me to market and sell my home, I am so very grateful, You have my thanks for all you have done. – Silke
