Chad Farran is a Palm Springs–based REALTOR® with Realty Trust, serving clients throughout Palm Springs and the greater Coachella Valley. Known for his warm, thoughtful, and highly service-oriented approach, Chad brings a unique blend of real estate knowledge, hospitality experience, design appreciation, and deep local connection to every client relationship.
Originally from the Chicago area, Chad has called Palm Springs home for more than 15 years. His love for the desert is rooted in its architecture, creative energy, natural beauty, and strong sense of community. With a particular appreciation for midcentury modern design, historic neighborhoods, condos, and distinctive desert homes, Chad helps clients understand not only the property itself, but also the lifestyle and local details that make each opportunity unique.
Before building his real estate career, Chad developed a strong foundation in hospitality through his work with Copley’s on Palm Canyon, one of Palm Springs’ most recognized restaurants. That background continues to shape his client-first approach: attentive communication, professionalism, discretion, and genuine care. He is committed to making each real estate experience feel informed, organized, and personal.
Chad speaks French and Spanish, and his lifelong passions for travel and the arts have shaped his global perspective, creativity, and appreciation for culture, design, and connection. These interests naturally inform the way he approaches real estate — with curiosity, openness, and an eye for what makes a home and a community truly special.
Chad is also actively involved in the Palm Springs community through Rotary, including his leadership with Rotary Youth Exchange. His work in real estate is grounded in the same values that guide his community involvement: trust, connection, service, and a belief in helping people find their place.
Whether working with buyers, sellers, relocation clients, or those discovering the desert for the first time, Chad brings clarity, creativity, and dedication to every step of the process.
