As a successful investor, Derek Dombeck has surfed the ups and downs of the market since 2003. Derek’s expertise ranges from creative deal structuring, wholesaling, flipping, and land-lording, to lending and investing throughout the years. He has been involved in thousands of transactions in his career, and what sets him apart is his love for people and their success.

Derek has an uncanny gift for problem-solving and negotiating; and he enjoys using his gifts and knowledge to help people out, sometimes when they have nowhere else to turn. He puts together creative solutions for sellers that few other investors can, and with his team’s support, they always deliver.

They avidly help other couples who are struggling through the conception/adoption process. Derek’s family loves to travel and experience new things.
