For Chase Lottmann, real estate is both a proud family tradition and a platform to build something distinctly his own. As the next generation of The Lottmann Group at CompassRealty Group, Chase carries forward a respected legacy in St. Louis real estate alongside his father, Jeff, pairing decades of deep market knowledge with a modern, data-driven strategy. "Jeff built a solid foundation over the years," Chase explains. "My goal is to build on that while adapting to today's market. How buyers search, how properties are marketed, and how clients analyze decisions have completely transformed. I want our clients to benefit from both proven experience and modern innovation."

Chase’s business mindset started early, earning degrees in Finance and Political Science from Saint Louis University—where he also began rehabbing homes—before completing his MBA at the University of Missouri. This strong academic background guides his approach to valuation, negotiation, and market timing. Rather than viewing transactions as simple sales, Chase evaluates how every decision fits into a client’s bigger picture. For sellers, he develops pricing and marketing strategies rooted in real-time market data; for buyers, he measures a home’s current fit alongside its long-term investment value.

This financial perspective is sharpened by his hands-on renovation experience. Managing contractors, budgets, and unforeseen issues has given him practical insight into preparing homes for market and maximizing ROI. "Investing has made me a better advisor," Chase says. "I know the pressure of putting money on the line and realistic costs of improvements. It’s trained me to look past cosmetics and spot both a property's true potential and its hidden risks."

Chase works with clients across the St. Louis area, serving communities including Chesterfield, Clarkson Valley, Wildwood, Town and Country, Ladue, Frontenac, Des Peres, Kirkwood, and Webster Groves. His core philosophy remains constant regardless of price point: listen carefully, communicate transparently, and build custom strategies tailored to the individual. In high-stakes transactions, Chase is known for his calm, clear-headed guidance, ensuring clients understand the rationale behind every recommendation to replace uncertainty with confidence, whether navigating inspections or negotiating offers.

Marketing is another pillar of his practice, combining professional photography, video, and targeted digital outreach with thoughtful storytelling. "A property should never feel like just another listing," he notes. "Great marketing highlights how someone will actually live in the space, creating an emotional connection." For Chase, balancing financial strategy with emotional resonance is key. A home is a major financial asset, but it is also where life happens.

Looking ahead, Chase envisions The Lottmann Group continuing as a trusted multigenerational resource—merging long-standing relationships with cutting-edge tools to deliver an exceptional experience for the future of St. Louis real estate. Outside of work, Chase enjoys spending time with his two Labrador Retrievers, Buster and Blue.
