About BiggerPockets
 About Us
BiggerPockets, Inc. is a special interest media and publishing company focused on the business of real estate and real estate investing in the United States and North America. We are an online leader in uniting the real estate community with associated real estate professionals through our Social Network and other tools and resources.
What Are You Guys Trying to Do?
Our mission is to help educate people in all aspects of real estate and real estate investing and to provide tools and resources to enhance real estate knowledge, networking, dealmaking, and marketing.
What's So Unique about BiggerPockets?
We take pride in offering all of our basic services & resources FREE to our users, and strive to bring our users new and exciting services that are often a pay service elsewhere. While BiggerPockets does have a PRO account available for users who are looking for more powerful tools, the basic account will grant access to all areas of the site.
Since its founding in 2004, BiggerPockets has revolutionized the way people in the real estate world network. With our Social Networking Platform (launched January 5, 2008), which allows people to safely and professionally communicate with one another, we were able to bring these networking capabilities to the next level.
Unlike most other real estate investing and "educational" real estate websites, we do not promote "gurus" in an effort just to gain affiliate sales. Our purpose is to help educate our members directly on our site. Through our forums, articles, member blogs, and BiggerPockets blog, users can get an education that they'd spend thousands of dollars for elsewhere. Additionally, we only offer materials on our store that we or our users have found to be worthwhile.
Our site is here for the consumer. We are not fans of the sleazy sales pitch and that shows if you take a look at our forums and other areas of the site! We kick out spammers and leeches and focus on providing our members with a safe learning, networking, and marketing experience free from pressure and solicitation.
There are many copycats out there, but only one BiggerPockets!
The Team
 Joshua Dorkin - Founder / CEO
BiggerPockets.com was founded by Joshua Dorkin and launched on October 22, 2004. An entrepreneur, web designer, real estate investor, and one-time realtor, Joshua was not satisfied by the online offerings of other real estate sites out there, and decided to build one himself. Mr. Dorkin's vision for BiggerPockets has helped to propel it into becoming one of the top real estate destinations online. His vision for the site and its future has brought national press attention to both Mr. Dorkin and to BiggerPockets.
Edd Morgan - Chief Architect
Edd is a straight-up geek with a neurotic insistence on perfection in everything he does. Having worked with such companies as Motorola and Microsoft, Edd is well versed in general software development best practices, and enjoys programming in Ruby, Python and C#. A lover of great design in whatever form it takes - both on-screen and in the physical world - Edd applies what he admires to his own work. He believes form and function can and should exist together, yet never to negate each-other. Recreationally, he loves to take photos; write; play video games; drink tea; and, above all else, learn.
