Leadership Team

William F. Chesley

William F. Chesley

President

William F. Chesley founded W.F. Chesley Real Estate in 1970. Under his leadership and direction, the company has evolved into one of the most successful, privately-owned real estate firms operating in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan region.  Core services include residential and commercial real estate, and land development and construction services.  The company represents numerous commercial office projects and manages residential and commercial investment properties.  The land development and construction divisions have built office, retail and residential projects throughout suburban Maryland.  In recent years, the company has provided financing for residential and commercial loans, thereby creating innovative opportunities for investors as commercial banks have withdrawn from the market. W.F. Chesley Real Estate has grown into a multi-faceted, entrepreneurial real estate firm with plans for expansion across Maryland and Washington, DC.
