The team is led by Veteran investors and licensed Realtors Ibrahim Hughes and Robert Tucker. The two bring to the table a combined 40 years of experience in assisting hundreds of distressed property owners save and or sell their homes.
They have now committed to inner city youth and their families by creating this ground breaking venture designed to generate funds for S.T.E.P. while teaching young people sound wealth building and community development principles.
