SERHANT. adds Chad Bishop Group in Fort Lauderdale
SERHANT. announced Thursday that it has added the Chad Bishop Group, led by top‑producing broker Chad Bishop, to its Fort Lauderdale office. The move brings a team that has amassed more than $600 million in career sales volume, including $80 million closed in the past 12 months, and is projected to close 82 transaction sides totaling $36.96 million in 2025, according to RealTrends Verified data. Bishop, who departed One Sotheby’s International Realty for the switch, will be joined by agents Lauren Ring, Brian Goodman and Alan Bishop, expanding SERHANT.’s footprint in South Florida.
The addition underscores SERHANT.’s rapid growth in Florida since entering the market in 2023, a period during which the firm has bolstered both resale and new‑development operations across the state. The Chad Bishop Group’s performance earned it the No. 256 rank in Florida for volume and No. 61 for sides in the 2026 RealTrends Verified rankings, reflecting its status as a high‑output boutique operation. Bishop highlighted the alignment of his team’s focus on relationships, creativity and client experience with SERHANT.’s emphasis on world‑class marketing, technology and an entrepreneurial culture, suggesting the partnership is designed to leverage the broker’s brand to generate greater attention for properties and agents alike.
Bishop’s track record includes setting Fort Lauderdale’s price‑per‑square‑foot record in 2022 and representing the seller of 6201 Melaleuca Road, a Southwest Ranches estate owned by supermodel Gisele Bündchen. By joining SERHANT., Bishop expects to “think bigger, market differently and continue building something truly special in South Florida,” indicating plans to expand the team’s market reach and influence. The move adds to SERHANT.’s overall growth since its 2020 launch, which now spans more than 2,000 agents in 17 markets nationwide, positioning the firm to further capitalize on the evolving real‑estate landscape in the region.
