7.9/ 10
Good
Solid choice, some limitations
A Bloomington-headquartered brokerage co-founder whose interest in real estate started young at his grandfather's rental properties, and who now runs his own small local firm.
Pros
- ✓Co-founded and personally leads a Bloomington-headquartered brokerage rather than working under an out-of-state franchise
- ✓Real, hands-on background in rental-property ownership before becoming an agent, reflected in his investor-focused messaging
- ✓Orange House Realty carries a 5.0-star rating across 21 reviews on Birdeye
- ✓Fairly balanced buyer/seller mix (42 buyer deals vs. 40 seller deals over 5 years), so his practice isn't one-sided
Cons
- ✗The Birdeye 5.0/21 rating is a brokerage-level rating, not confirmed as Chad's individual review count
- ✗One individual agent-review aggregator (Experience.com) showed zero reviews on his personal profile, so his individual online review footprint is thin
- ✗Bloomington is under a quarter of his five-year sales volume; most of his business is spread across the wider metro

A genuine, locally-headquartered broker-owner with a believable investment-property angle -- worth a look, though verify his personal (not just brokerage) review record directly before hiring.
