As a seasoned expert in the Monterey Peninsula real estate market, born and raised in Monterey, Chandler has deep roots and a profound understanding of the area's unique charms and intricacies. Chandler's impressive background is firmly rooted in real estate. As the son of Bill Bluhm, a renowned top-producing real estate agent on the Monterey Peninsula for over three decades, Chandler has been immersed in the industry since childhood.

Armed with a comprehensive understanding of marketing strategies and a global perspective, Chandler's academic background allows him to approach real estate with a strategic and forward-thinking mindset.

In 2016, Chandler joined his parents' esteemed property management company, Bratty and Bluhm Property Management, where he gained valuable hands-on experience in property maintenance and management, which later encouraged him to acquire his real estate license in 2017. This experience provided him with a keen eye for property quality and a deep understanding of what it takes to maintain and enhance the value of real estate assets.

To further solidify his expertise, Chandler obtained his California Department of Real Estate broker license in 2021, demonstrating his commitment to professional growth and excellence. With this esteemed credential, he is equipped to guide clients through even the most complex transactions, ensuring their interests are safeguarded every step of the way.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Chandler is an individual of diverse passions and interests.
