About Darin

As a former environmental engineer, Darin pairs the thrill of value investing with the vision of sensible urban planning. He's data focused, result-driven, but emotionally aware of the changing landscape in this crazy city. He grew up in the sprawling semi-rural suburbs, and does not only understand the tidal wave of growth and investment in this city, but is intensely part of it.

He's focused on the up-and-coming areas exploding with value just outside of Downtown and Midtown. These are historic homes, townhomes, vacant lots, and commercial properties that are in close proximity to all of the action, but bought at a fraction of the price.

He puts his own money where his mouth is. He owns dozens of properties, has developed multiple rentals, and lives in the heart of the North End. He's sold the majority of foreclosures in the North End, have had the single greatest number of listings, and am the largest individual property owner in the 48202 zip code.

Most of his listings are great-value properties that he's discovered through his own research based on his own investment strategies. He enjoys partnering with developers, and being the "boots-on-the-ground" guy for people unfamiliar with Detroit.

He's also applied his knowledge of tax distressed foreclosures to purchase acreage out west and up north for himself and multiple clients.
