I set the Lake Minneola all-time sale record at $1.8 million in February 2025.

I am Chase Checho, Broker / Owner of Chase Aaron Real Estate. I represent buyers and sellers on the Clermont Chain of Lakes the same way I represent them on Butler Chain in Windermere or in Bella Collina: with verified MLS data, candid pricing analysis, and direct one-on-one work from list to close.

The chain is my home market. My father, Robert C. Checho, has held Florida Certified Building Contractor License #CBC040782 since March 16, 1987 — thirty-eight years of continuous Lake County lineage. He built across four entities, from Baybrook Homes to Ebbtide Construction & Development (which built Magnolia Terrace and Arrowtree Reserve in the early-to-mid 2000s) and today runs Aaron Construction & Development, LLC — whose most recent custom build, in Wolfhead Ridge, was completed May 5, 2026. I grew up on those job sites. I know which docks face the prevailing wind, which lots flood when Minneola rises, which subdivisions sit on the actual chain versus a tributary, and which improvements appraisers credit and which they don’t.

If you are buying or selling chain-of-lakes waterfront over $1M, you deserve a broker who has actually closed at that price point on the chain. Florida BK3447990.
