Our Story
Culby Group was established in 2002 by Joseph Culbertson Jr. following the sale of his low-voltage cabling business. He invested a portion of the proceeds in real estate with the goal of creating lasting income and building a stronger financial foundation for his family. As the portfolio grew and became increasingly complex, his son, Joe Culbertson, stepped forward to provide the hands-on leadership, structure, and oversight it required.
Under Joe’s stewardship, what began as a collection of real estate holdings evolved into an intentional and disciplined business. He strengthened operations, improved financial performance, established a more sophisticated corporate structure, and created a long-term strategy built around responsible ownership, sound judgment, and steady reinvestment. Over time, Culby Group expanded beyond traditional real estate into hospitality, operating businesses, private investments, public markets, real assets, and private credit.
Today, Culby Group is a family-led private investment and operating platform organized across four divisions: Culby Capital, Culby Properties, Culby Getaways, and Culby Brands. The company combines the discipline and structure of an institutional enterprise with the patience, accountability, and generational perspective of a family office. What began with one generation’s decision to invest for the future continues through a commitment to preserve, strengthen, and advance what has been entrusted to the next.
