Full House Realty, LLC was an innovative Minnesota real estate brokerage company. Full House Realty offered professional, high-quality yet cost-effective a-la-carte real estate services to residential buyers and sellers, in an era in which few real estate brokerage companies deviated from the "full service" model. Brad envisioned and implemented a transparent fee-for-service model in which real estate listing services could be scaled to the goals and objectives of the client, in a time before “disrupting” an industry was a cause championed by financial & consumer markets. Brad ultimately realized his chance to best serve the real estate industry would be realized by dedicating his full time and energy to his law practice. As a result, he wrapped up the brokerage company, turning his attention to serving clients (including but not limited to real estate brokerages) as an attorney.
