Our Team

Founded in 2009, Leisure Investment Properties Group (LIPG) has become the renowned industry leader in golf course, marina, resort, and master-planned community sales.  Focused on the vision of being the preeminent leader in business-driven real estate, our team is constantly investing in the platform we provide every owner and investor. Combining more than 270 years of commercial real estate investment experience, we have built a successful track record across multiple specialized asset classes that exceeds over $3.7 billion dollars in properties underwritten and sold.

Our founding principles center on long-term relationships, trust, transparency, accountability, and communication. Without these, we would not have deserved the trust and commitment from the hundreds of clients we have successfully partnered with since 2009.

Our team’s mission has always been to help our clients preserve and grow their wealth within their leisure asset classes. Whether investing in golf courses, marinas, resorts, or other leisure properties, we are committed to providing expert guidance, in-depth market insights, and strategic investment solutions tailored to each client’s unique goals.

When you partner with our team at LIPG, you gain more than just a brokerage—you gain a trusted advisor dedicated to ensuring you have the clarity, knowledge, and power to make informed business decisions. Our proven approach helps investors maximize their returns, mitigate risks, and position their assets for long-term success. With an unwavering focus on data-driven strategies, industry expertise, and client success, we stand by our commitment to helping you achieve your financial and investment goals—today, tomorrow, and beyond.
