After graduating from The University of Alabama, Tripp began his career in commercial real estate in Atlanta before relocating to Charleston, South Carolina in the early 1990s to join Wild Dunes Real Estate as a sales executive. After several successful years as a full-time sales executive, Tripp advanced into leadership roles at Wild Dunes, ultimately serving as Broker, Partner, and CEO. In this capacity, he held full responsibility for P&L performance, strategic goal setting, operations, marketing, sales management, and the leadership of a 20-person staff. While also working on real estate development projects alongside Wild Dunes Development Company, Tripp oversaw sales, marketing, and infrastructure initiatives that revitalized the residential development arm of the company. By the end of 2005, annual sales had increased by more than $70 million, culminating in the successful sale of the company to Lowe Enterprises, the nation’s fifth-largest independent management company. From 2006 to 2007, Tripp served as Vice President of Genesis Designer Homes, a role he was recruited for based on a recommendation from the mutual CPA of both companies. There, he built and supervised a high-performing sales team and large support staff, achieving 100% of an aggressive revenue goal in 2006, even as competitors struggled and lost market share during a slowing market.
