About Us
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 150 years of commercial real estate investment experience, we have built a successful track record across multiple specialized asset classes that exceeds over $3.5 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.
It has been our mission to help every client preserve and grow their wealth in their leisure asset classes. We guarantee that every client who partners with LIPG will have the clarity, knowledge, and power to make sound business decisions that will maximize their investment strategies and achieve their goals for the future.
