President

Kevin S. Pitts’ career in the real estate industry spans over 30 years. Prior to co-founding Dolphin Partners Inc. in 1984, Mr. Pitts worked for such prestigious firms as Angeles Corporation, Urban West Communities and RMB Realty. Since inception, Dolphin Partners has been involved in the placement of equity and debt in a broad range of product types; including, office, industrial, retail, apartments, mobile home parks, residential subdivisions and raw land.

These residential properties are being held long term, for the eventual resale back to the homebuilding industry.
