What Hermann Homes stands for
Stewardship that connects past, present, and place.
Hermann Homes is built around historic preservation, community connection, responsible care of existing homes, distinctive properties, and responsive local management.
Historic Preservation
Protect the architectural character and story of established homes while keeping them comfortable and useful for modern residents.
Community
Treat a rental as part of a neighborhood, not an isolated transaction, with attention to neighbors, local culture, trails, parks, and connection.
Responsible Living
Preserving and caring for existing homes extends their useful life and supports a greener, less disposable approach to housing.

Home Sweet Home
A home should feel cared for before someone is asked to call it home.
Our quality standard is simple: a property should feel comfortable, cared for, and ready to become a home.
Each home is as unique as a person. Therefore celebrating and creating a place for our tenants to call home is one challenge. Preserving the communities of our past while bringing them into the present is another challenge.

What residents say
Residents have shared their experiences living in Hermann Homes across Bloomington–Normal.
We have been living at 509 W Grove for the past year and a half. Bob has taken good care of us when something around the house needed to be fixed. Carol was very proactive about introducing us to the neighbors and that was a nice and unusual touch for a rental situation.
Paul • 509 West Grove Street
I am looking for a home to rent for my family, where my girls can feel like they are at home. Talking to Carol made me feel a part of a community even before I looked at the house. Her attention to detail and love for the neighbors around 410 E. Mill really drew me in. Thank you, Carol, for the love and care you share when talking about each and every property you care for.

We absolutely love our home on Clinton Place and just signed another lease. The owners are very diligent when it comes to taking care of the property and are great at communicating with us keeping us posted on maintenance/updates, etc. Whenever we have a question or problem (which is VERY rare) they are fast to respond (usually within a few hours – sometimes within minutes) and take care of things quickly/efficiently. There is a lot of value placed on protecting the home’s history as well as the local environment. Historic preservation and sustainability are very important to the owners which we appreciate and feel very good about.

We’ve enjoyed living at 410 E Mill for the past two years. The Hermanns respond and address any maintenance concerns quickly. During our time here, a new hot water heater and partial roof were installed. The neighbors have been friendly and the house is right around the corner from a park and the Bloomington Public Library. The property is easy to maintain as it only requires mowing during the warmer months. This house is ideal for pet-owners as the backyard is large and recent landscaping minimizes mud that your outdoor pets might track into the house. The full basement offers lots of storage so you don’t have to worry about where to put your stuff. We’re only moving out because we found a place closer to where we work, which will make having one car much easier. It is also worth noting that we rented the house, site-unseen, as we were moving to Illinois from Virginia. We were in a bind as our other housing option had fallen through when someone recommended the Hermanns. We loved what we saw online and were able to facilitate a rental interview and lease signing digitally, making the entire process much easier.

This house has been a wonderful home to our little family. My daughter has plenty of space to play, and the neighborhood is very nice, so my dog spends most of the day relaxing. It's so close to everything, too, downtown, uptown, the trail, etc. It has the quaint charm of a historic house but is still as comfortable as any new home. The landlords are very attentive and incredibly nice. I would highly recommend this property.
