Troy DeLong

Agent / Operations Manager

Born in Lansing and raised in Holt. My background is Mechanical Engineering, but my passion is Real Estate Investing. I’ve been a licensed agent since December of 2020. I work with all Buyers and Sellers alike, but my main clientele are out-of-state investors. I take pride in being the most valuable member of an individual’s team as they navigate through real estate investing, purchasing and selling.

I currently ‘House Hack’ a duplex in the Lansing area (where you live in one unit and rent out the other) and have bought and sold investment properties and vacant land in the past. My goal is to own and manage a decent size portfolio of rental units in the Mid-Michigan area, while also investing into development projects, new build housing and other investor’s projects.

I believe the key to life is to build it the way that YOU want it. Although that will take a lot of hard work and time, I am driven by the vision that I have painted for myself. I truly believe we have an amazing team here at Achieve, where we all share our goals with one another and help where we can in achieving those goals.

When time allows, I love to travel with friends and family, hike, read, complete a house project, try new bars / restaurants, workout and watch the newest movie someone tells me about. There are plenty of real estate agents / teams out there, so make sure you find the right one who works for you!

Sam Hoag

Agent

As a dedicated real estate professional from Olivet, Michigan, I bring a passion for entrepreneurship, deal-making, and helping families find the perfect place to call home, while also assisting investors in expanding their portfolios with real assets that allow their equity to prosper. With a love for the outdoors, playing guitar, and staying active through weight training and basketball, I approach both life and business with focus and determination.

I believe that hard work, transparency, and integrity are the foundation of success. At the heart of my work is a commitment to bringing positive value to my clients, company, and community. My family’s mission statement— We Lead, We Respect, We Improve, We Love, We Don’t Bully, Nor Do We Get Bullied— guides my approach to everything I do. My goal is to provide exceptional service while helping clients achieve their financial goals and long-term growth.

Marcel Gonzalez

Agent

I was born in Havana, Cuba, and moved to the United States at 21 where I pursued a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan. After graduation, I immersed myself in self-education, starting with investing and trading in the stock market, business finance and economics. This journey eventually led me to discover a profound passion for real estate.

My mission is to seamlessly integrate a diverse range of real estate and investment services, ensuring that my clients receive comprehensive, end-to-end solutions tailored to their unique needs. My core principles are rooted in a long-term vision, where I believe in the power of hard work, daily dedication, and the compounding effect of consistent effort to achieve lasting success.

A client-centric approach is at the heart of everything I do. I strive to create remarkable experiences by understanding my clients’ needs and fostering transparent relationships aiming to offer valuable client experiences.

I’m proud to call myself a dedicated father to three amazing children. Born in Saginaw, Michigan, and raised in Lansing, I’m a graduate of Everett High School, where I participated in football, wrestling, and track.

I believe in the power of kindness, positivity, and treating others as I’d like to be treated.
