The secret to the Goddard Companies’ success is simple; we are fortunate enough to have smart, creative, loyal and hardworking people on our team. Every person working in the back office, on the front line or in the field is committed to the core principles of quality, value, integrity and hard work.

Sometimes these specialty service providers and the Goddard Companies come to the mutual realization that a benefit could be had through co-ownership and affiliation with our holding company. Strong back office support, access to capital and the ability to work with a team of like minded entrepreneurs is attractive to the owners of some specialty service businesses who desire thrive and scale. When that will and realization of purpose mutually occurs, an Affiliated Specialty Service business comes into being.
Dulaney Title & Escrow [a wholly owned subsidiary of the Goddard Companies]
Any title company can handle a "cookie cutter" purchase or refinance closing. However, it takes a skilled title professional, coupled with an attorney experienced in BOTH transactional work and real estate litigation, to address and successfully resolve the complex title issues that often arise in the course of a transfer of title to real estate. It is in these situations where Dulaney Title and Escrow excels in providing valuable services to its clients.
Many properties with seemingly ‘unfixable’ title issues can present tremendous opportunities to investors who choose the right title company to address and successfully resolve these title problems. For more than 17 years, using the same core team of closing agents, attorneys and title processors, Dulaney Title and Escrow (DTE) has, and continues to, provide valuable services to its clients in these situations. A large number of DTE’s client base are repeat residential and commercial investors who understand that ‘investor friendly’ means adding value through implementation of mezzanine financing strategies and solutions to complex legal and title problems that other, less experienced, title companies simply can’t handle.
Investors Capital Group [an affiliated company of the Goddard Companies]
Investors Capital Group, (ICG) responsibly provides private capital for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and development of residential and light commercial real estate in the Baltimore Metropolitan area, to experienced investors with a proven track record of success and integrity. Following the collapse of the residential real estate market in 2008, those institutional lenders and banks who did survive, stopped making acquisition and rehabilitation loans to investors (‘Rehab Loans’), regardless of their creditworthiness or the equity position. While the institutional lenders and bank regulators clearly believe(d) that Rehab Loans presented an unacceptable risk profile, ICG does not.
“Never invest in a business you cannot understand” -Warren Buffett

Andrew “Drew” Miller began his career as a property investor and rehabber in Baltimore City more than 20 years ago. ICG also employs valuable tools, proprietary loan document packages and time tested equity ratios to responsibly and successfully make Rehab Loans. ICG is NOT a ‘Hard Money’ lender; rather it is a commercial and investment private equity lender that curates, arbitrages and responsibly deploys private investor capital to borrowers whose proposed investments are aligned with its underwriting guidelines.
