Chad Ortte

Born and raised along the bayous and sugarcane fields of South Louisiana, Chad grew up designing and building things and was taught at an early age the value of hard work and persistence. He graduated from Saint Thomas More Catholic High School and then from Louisiana State University in 2005 with a degree in General Studies.

Chad began working in commercial real estate while in college and after graduation became a licensed agent and soon a top producer and development partner. In 2010 he became an independent broker, leading strategic investments, complex acquisitions, and creative developments while representing some of the most active and capable real estate investors and developers in the South.

Known as a trusted source of knowledge and opportunity, with an uncanny ability to connect with anyone at any level, Chad maintains close and effective relationships with diverse groups of people across the Gulf South. Primarily focused on site selection, acquisition, and development of land, he leads with an honest work ethic and a creative value-add approach to every transaction, project, or partnership, with the ultimate goal of building long term, successful projects, and relationships.

A Louisiana proud native, Chad lives in his hometown Lafayette. Outside of work, he enjoys cooking, gardening, exploring unique architecture, researching innovative real estate concepts, and spending time outdoors or on the road discovering what's next.
