I am the owner-operator of OKC Home Realty Services, LLC, specializing in real estate management in Oklahoma. In this role, I am dedicated to helping real estate investors manage their rental properties and optimizing their investments. My journey in the real estate realm began in 1996 when my wife Stefani and I ventured into the world of property ownership, acquiring our first rental property in the heart of Oklahoma City. Since then, I’ve built a robust portfolio consisting of single-family homes and small apartment properties. With over 27 years of experience, I’ve consistently delivered outstanding results by maximizing property performance, leading to notable increases in occupancy rates, revenue, and overall asset value. My journey in real estate is not just about transactions and investments; it’s about contributing to the growth and well-being of the community I call home.

My name is Chad Phillis. I'm a visionary entrepreneur and seasoned real estate investor, and I'm the founder and CEO of Checkmate Rentals—a premier short-term rental management company focused on maximizing revenue, optimizing operations, and delivering unmatched experiences for both guests and property owners. I built Checkmate Rentals to stand apart in an industry often marked by one-size-fits-all solutions and a lack of transparency. With deep expertise in Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and Google Vacation Rentals, I recognized that most property management companies treat owners like just another number. That's why I prioritize profitability, transparency, and genuine partnerships, treating each owner like family with tailored strategies and clear financial insights. My hands-on experience in dynamic pricing, listing optimization, and operational automation has helped countless property owners turn their rentals into high-performing, passive income streams while providing exceptional guest experiences. As a trusted thought leader in the short-term rental space, I also advise investors on scaling portfolios, navigating industry regulations, and leveraging technology for operational efficiency. By blending market analysis, cutting-edge technology, and a people-first approach, I've redefined what short-term rental management can be—because at Checkmate Rentals, the difference isn’t just in the numbers; it’s in the relationships.

Visionary and Entrepreneurial leader that delivers a unique combination of strategic, operational, technical, and transactional expertise in finance, media and tech.
