Robb Chapin grew up in an entrepreneurial family and therefore starting his own company is something that has always has been a part of who he is. Raised in Christiansburg, Virginia, Robb’s family runs the oldest continuous running John Deere Dearlership in America based in Southwestern Virginia. Rick Steinberger was born in Statesboro, Georgia and grew up primarily in Huntsville, Alabama. He followed his long standing dream of entrepreneurship into restaurant ownership. Their various career paths eventually crossed and for a period of 7 years they worked together at a publicly traded real estate investment trust based in Orlando, Florida. It was during this time that they realized how effective they were together as a team and eventually became aware that they shared the same values and visions for starting their own companies. While neither of them felt compelled to go it alone, after seeing what they could accomplish together, they realized that by co-founding a company they could both achieve their goals.

In July of 2005, they launched Servant Investments. The first few months of which were spent working out of their homes and cars. They often laugh about those early days, when their conference room was their car, with their cell phone placed between them on speakerphone. That is precisely where some of their first transactions took place. In August of that same year they moved into their first office space in downtown Orlando. By August of 2007, 23 employees added to the payroll and over $120 million in total real estate investments capital later, they will have made their third move into larger office space.

The joy of it all has been accomplishing their original goal of being an efficient and predictable capital source to their development partners, for projects they believe in, and consistently delivering strong investment returns to their investors. All the while not wavering from their strong core values and building long term relationships with all of their clients and investors. They feel incredibly blessed to have assembled the team of Servant employees who share their core values and commitment to providing the highest levels of service to their clients.
