Our Story

Learn what made us the company we are today,
and what our goals are for the future.

2003

Started in Wholesaling

Our Founder and CEO, Mark Thompson, started his real estate career with a national wholesale acquisition company focused on finding below-market deals around Cincinnati, OH for a local investor network.

2004

Ohio's Largest Wholesaling Company

Within a year, Mark became GM and Broker of the Cincinnati office and expanded the operations (wholesaling/acquisitions, realty, hard money lending, and title services) from Cincinnati into Dayton, Columbus and Northern Kentucky. From ’04-’08 the company sold over 1,000 deals, funded over $50mm in hard money loans, and had up to 25 associates located throughout Ohio.

2008

Born out of the Housing Bubble

The national company Mark’s brokerage was affiliated/partnered with was struggling with challenges in other markets (mostly Florida) due to the housing bubble. It became clear they were not going to rebound, so in 2008, Mark started EquityTeam as a full-service provider of real estate investing services.

2012

Focus on Residential Property Mgmt

We tried to avoid getting involved in property management. Who in their right mind wants these headaches? We tried to work with the 5 "best" managers in Cincinnati at the time, and even helped one management company get started, just so we didn’t have to be involved with it. However, none of them performed to even minimal standards. Since good management is critical to long-term real estate investing success, we concluded “if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself”, so we started creating the property management company we wanted, and we knew the Cincinnati market needed.

2015

A Cincinnati Market Leader

By 2015, EquityTeam became the highest-rated residential property management company in Cincinnati, and has maintained that reputation since.

2021

Acquisition of Only Choice PM in Dayton, Ohio.

We managed a few properties in Dayton at the time, but needed a larger presence to build upon. This acquisition helped provide that foundation.

Today

Now, and in the Future...

We’re looking to grow, through acquisition and/or partnerships, and organically in the Cincinnati, Dayton, and possibly other Ohio or Kentucky markets. If you own or manage a portfolio of properties in southwest Ohio or Northern Kentucky, contact us so we can explore potential opportunities.
