Dorian P Harvey, Founder and President 

Dorian is a licensed real estate broker and founder of AfricanTown Business Association, who currently serves as president of The Detroit Association of Realtors (DAR). This role allows Dorian to do what he has always aspired to do and that is: give back. With over 27 years experience selling residential and commercial real estate in the state  of Michigan, Dorian has dedicated the remainder of his career to creating opportunities for those who have been denied access to markets and economicr esources.

Dorian is a highly-motivated visionary and self-starter who has created small businesses that have  directly impacted his community and several foreign markets. Often the solutions/services he has created returned very little profit and offered minimum fanfare but helped stabilize neighborhoods keeping families from becoming homeless. As the managing member of ShortSalesMadeSimple LLC, Dorian prospected on foreign investors encouraging them to purchase homes in Detroit that were owned by borrowers who suffered from  family  hardships due to loss of jobs, illness and/or death. Dorian was able to connect foreign investors to delinquent borrowers and helped the homeowners avoid foreclosure. Investors earned a 20% to 30% return on their investment and occupants reduced their monthly payments and maintenance expenses drastically, allowing them to comfortably stay in their homes or save money to move. A win for all involved. All of this was accomplished during the “Great” recession of 2008-2015 inside the worst real estate and employment market in the country: DetroitMichigan. 

During the city’s historic bankruptcy, Dorian formed HH Property Preservation LLC to assist client- investors in project managing rehabilitation and property repairs by utilizing local contractors and handymen. Once rehabs  were completed, Dorian’s real estate brokerage firm of 17 agents then managed the rentals. Mr. Harvey secured investors from China, France, UK, Australia, Brazil, and theGambia. 

Dorian also founded D505, a movement to sell 500 houses while teaching wealth building through home  ownership: to buy withequity. 

Currently, Mr. Harvey is committed to revitalizing urban neighborhoods by improving legislation that affects residential and commercial real estate in blighted areas and is currently campaigning for the 14th Congressional District Director’s Chair of the Michigan Realtors.  

Dorian can be heard as the host of a weekly podcast show, The Detroit Real Estate Show, soon to be renamed The Dorian Harvey Show which will search for and give global exposure to small businesses and entrepreneurs in urban America. Join him at www.detroittalkradio.com
