Leisure Investment Properties Group expands team with two new members

Leisure Investment Properties Group (LIPG), one of the leading commercial brokerage firms in the golf industry, has added two new key team members, Greg Lewis and Jeff Dugas. Their integration with the existing team expands the firm’s services to include advisory, brokerage, research, capital markets, appraisals and tax appeals, making them the only firm in the nation to offer such a wide range of solutions.

Lewis was formerly with Leisure Financial Group and Textron Financial Corporation and joins LIPG as the lead for the capital markets group. He has more than 30 years of experience in corporate lending and is recognized as a top originator of golf and marina loans across the country, as well as an extensive background in hospitality, RV parks and commercial origination.

Dugas holds an MAI designation from the Appraisal Institute and is a member of the Society of Golf Appraisers. Previously with Leisure Appraisal, he brings three decades of expertise in golf, marina, hospitality and RV appraisals. Dugas has worked closely with some of the largest companies in the nation, completing more than 3,000 golf and marina appraisal assignments in 24 di­fferent states.

Steve Ekovich, executive managing director at LIPG, said the strategic hires have significantly bolstered the firm’s competitive edge.

“Incorporating these two exceptional talents into our ranks has propelled LIPG to an unparalleled position in the market,” he said. “With their expertise complementing our existing strengths, we now offer an unmatched suite of services encompassing advisory, brokerage, research, capital markets expertise, appraisal and tax appeals.”

Lewis said he’s thrilled to join the team.

“I’ve worked on several projects with Steve and his group over the past couple of years and found his clients absolutely view LIPG as ‘Trusted Advisors,’” he said.

Dugas added that the strategic move reaffirms LIPG’s unwavering dedication to delivering comprehensive solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of its clients.
