Specializing in Commercial, Multifamily, Development, and Luxury Residential properties, Troy has ascended from a 2017 rookie to a market leader by blending innovative, data-driven marketing with a collaborative, "value-add" mindset. Whether navigating complex commercial acquisitions or high-end residential sales, he leverages a vetted circle of engineers, lenders and attorneys, alongside high-quality media packages and premium marketing strategies, to identify unrealized potential and secure exceptional outcomes for every client. ---- A Finance and Real Estate graduate of Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU), Troy Hinds brings an owner operator’s perspective to every deal. As the co-founder of Drift Development LLC and Pelican Point Partners LLC, Troy oversees the regulatory navigation and entitlement of residential and multifamily projects.
