Justin Smits | Co-Owner
I began my investing career in 2011 with tax lien investing and diversified over the years into rehabbing houses, rentals, and private lending. In 2015, I transitioned to a full-time investor with a focus on wholesaling houses. In 2016, I joined Adrien Chabot as an owner of Region Home Buyers.
Together we’ve been buying 100 or more houses annually in the Northwest Indiana area. Our focus is on finding off-market deals to wholesale, rehab or keep as rental properties. I love helping people who want to sell a property without waiting months or years to close. If you have questions about your situation or a specific property you want to sell, we will listen and answer any questions you may have.

Adrien Chabot | Co-Owner
Real estate has been a passion of mine since I was a teen after seeing my uncle purchase and manage several small multi-family properties. I became a landlord by default in 2012 when I turned my personal residence (which was heavily upside down) into a rental. In 2015, I left my position as an insurance agent with a company I had been with for over 8 years to go full time in to real estate.
Since then, I’ve completed over 425 transactions, dozens of flips, and loaned on several projects for other investors. I received my real estate license in July 2017. I enjoy teaching and mentoring others in real estate investing. Most of all I enjoy seeing the weight lift from people shoulders when we are able to solve their real estate problems by quickly buying their house.

Josue Garcia | Property Acquisitions
I started my real estate investing journey right after graduating high school. I began learning and educating myself on wholesaling, which I started doing in the fall of 2020 before joining Region Home Buyers in 2021.
Some of my interests are sports, sci-fi movies, real estate and other investing strategies. I like to learn and study topics such as investing, of course, and ancient history as well!
I’m committed to helping and fully understanding people’s needs. Most times when someone wants to sell a home, there’s a bigger picture or goal they want to reach. It’s a great feeling being able to help accomplish that with people.
