Chad graduated in 2012 with a degree in Communications from The University of Oklahoma, where he developed his public speaking and interpersonal skills. After graduation, Chad worked inside sales at two major corporations, learning how to qualify leads and engage with customers to generate sales.

In 2015, Chad earned his real estate license and began his career with RE/MAX DFW Associates with his dad on the Roger Thedford Team, recognized as one of the top real estate teams in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. Seizing an opportunity to broaden his skill set even further, Chad subsequently accepted a job with a home warranty company as a regional sales manager, managing a sales team while building relationships with real estate brokers, agents and title companies throughout North and Central Texas.

In 2021, Chad began working with Orchard, learning the nuances of cash offers and equity advance programs. This experience allows him to educate all his clients on all the options to direct them to the best service.

Now, in 2023, Chad is reunited with his dad and mom in a family-oriented business. His experience in new construction, investor rehab projects, first-time buyers and luxury home buyers and sellers will position him well to lead Thedford & Associates Realty in the future.
