At the height of the housing boom, he was selling multi-million-dollar mansions like hotcakes but when the housing bubble burst, Tarek went broke and was forced to move into his parent’s garage. In the time period between sleeping next to the family station wagon and cans of paint, Tarek devised a plan to rebuild his wealth. He then carved out a new niche for himself in the world of real estate: flipping distressed properties. Through his drive and the generosity of friends, family and business mentors, Tarek landed back on his feet and became a multi-millionaire.
Since then, Tarek has purchased and flipped hundreds of properties. In 2012, he sold the idea of a house flipping show to HGTV with a guarantee of ten episodes.

His show has inspired the Flip or Flop franchise in Nashville, Chicago, Atlanta, Las Vegas and Fort Worth. Tarek owns his own production company in which he is the Executive
