About Us
Afin Developer Group, LLC (.ADG.) offers a wide range of research and development services to capitalize on opportunities in the real estate market according to its investors’ desired level of risk and participation.
Since its inception, ADG has built its reputation by challenging the definition of "development concept" which most other developers maintain in regard to how
a development company should operate and manage its growth. We've created an organization that promotes creativity, innovation, and financial prudence.
Our team is passionate about developing novel ideas that push the boundaries of conventional development functions while also incorporating traditional and time-tested methods of operating.
We leverage the skills, reputation, and experience possessed by the company and its principals, as well as that of our strategic partners, to minimize the inherent risk in any project and optimize the profitability of our initiatives.
