Sacramento Real Producers Profile

10 years in real estate… and it all comes down to one thing: relationships.

I’m truly honored to be featured in The Sacramento Real Producers Magazine in the article Building Relationships That Last. Over the past decade, the trust of my clients and the referrals you’ve sent my way have meant everything—this journey wouldn’t exist without you.

I’m incredibly grateful for my family—the reason behind it all—and for our amazing team. Thank you for being part of this story.

THE STORY OF TYLER CHICOURRAT

For Tyler Chicourrat, real estate has never been just about transactions, numbers, or titles. It has always been about people and relationships, and creating meaningful experiences. As the Founder of The Chicourrat Team, Tyler has built a successful business rooted in service, authenticity, and community. These values were shaped by his upbringing, professional journey, and personal life.

Born and raised in Auburn, California, Tyler grew up surrounded by family and close-knit friendships. Raised on five acres and later moving to Lake of the Pines, he learned early on the importance of connection and community. “Family is first,” he says, a belief that continues to guide both his personal life and professional philosophy.

After graduating from Bear River High School in 2007, Tyler attended San Diego State University, where he majored in Hospitality and Tourism Management with a minor in Spanish. During a study abroad experience in Madrid, Spain, he discovered a passion for travel and culture. That global perspective would later influence how he approached business and relationships.

Following college, Tyler joined Hyatt’s management training program in Orlando. While it was a strong career opportunity, it did not align with his long- term goals. After applying for internal promotions three times and being turned down, he realized he did not want to spend decades climbing a corporate ladder. Instead, he chose to take a leap of faith. He traveled and worked in Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia, gaining life experience, confidence, and resilience along the way.

When Tyler returned home in 2014, he found himself at another turning point. After briefly considering a recruiting position in the Bay Area, he decided to return to Auburn and start fresh. He moved back in with his parents and focused on rebuilding. During that time, a seasoned real estate professional took him under her wing and became his mentor. In 2015, Tyler officially launched his real estate career.

At first, his interest in real estate was driven by investing. He envisioned flipping homes and building rental properties. In his first year, he purchased a triplex, an achievement he remains proud of today.  As he gained experience, his focus shifted toward serving others. What began as an investment journey quickly grew into a relationship-driven business.

Nearly eleven years later, Tyler leads The Chicourrat Team, which closed just over $32 million in volume and 55 transactions last year. Despite this success, he remains grounded in his original purpose. “What I find most fulfilling is the relationships we get to build,” Tyler explains. With a background in hospitality, he places a strong emphasis on client experience and trust. Few moments are more meaningful to him than when new clients reach out through referrals from past clients. To Tyler, that represents the highest compliment.

His business philosophy centers on three key principles: involvement, growth, and service. He stays active in local real estate associations and community initiatives. He invests in coaching and professional development, believing that personal growth directly impacts professional success. Above all, he views real estate as a service profession, not a sales industry. “I truly believe our business is more about service than sales,” he says.

This mindset also shapes how he leads his team. Although he never planned to build a team, he now feels deeply grateful for the group he works alongside. His goal is to remain “small but mighty,” focused on collaboration, quality, and continuous improvement.

Outside of work, Tyler’s greatest pride is his family. He rekindled with his now wife, Emily, at the Auburn Rodeo in 2017, and they have been married for five years. Together, they are raising two sons, with a third child on the way. From outdoor adventures to monster truck shows and golf practice, family time is a top priority.

Balancing a demanding career with fatherhood has not always been easy, but it has shaped his perspective. He works hard to remain present and intentional, knowing that time with his children is irreplaceable.



When he is not working, Tyler enjoys golfing, spending time outdoors, relaxing in his yard, listening to live music, and chilling  with family & friends. A lifelong dream of becoming a musician still lives quietly in his heart, reminding him to stay creative and curious.  One quote that deeply resonates with him reads, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the ones you did… Explore. Dream. Discover” It reflects his belief in taking risks and pursuing meaningful goals.

To Tyler, success is simple: a happy, thriving family and time freedom. The best advice he has received is to never stop growing. He remains a strong advocate for coaching and lifelong learning, believing that investing in yourself is one of the most valuable decisions you can make.

Perhaps most meaningful is how Tyler hopes to be remembered. He does not want to be known simply as a successful Realtor. He wants to be remembered for how he made people feel. He strives to be someone others can trust, confide in, and connect with on a deeper level. To make a lasting impact on those he gets to surround himself with.

In recent years, Tyler has also worked through moments of self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Being featured in Real Producers carries special meaning for him. It represents years of effort, growth, and perseverance. With humility and gratitude, he thanks the mentors, colleagues, and family members who supported him, even when he struggled to believe in himself. As a believer, he knows that God’s hand is involved in all of his pursuits.

Looking ahead, Tyler sees a future full of opportunity. Personally, it’s foundational to him that he stays present in his family life with his wife and kids, with the demands that real estate can bring. Professionally, he plans to grow as a leader and further elevate his team’s impact within the community.

Through it all, Tyler Chicourrat remains focused on service, relationships, and integrity. His story is a reminder that true success in real estate, and in life, is built not just on numbers, but on heart.
