He’s splashed his company’s name all over the Internet, Dingman’s on Twitter, Facebook and amid the blogosphere. Four years into the project, he wants to keep building, and continue to help athletes.
“I love it,” Dingman said. “It’s so much fun. I can’t explain how passionate I am about it. I pinch myself every day. I’m providing an honest service that these people are in need of. I can’t explain how much I love what I do.”
Dingman’s energy doesn’t come off as fake. How can it be? As a 31-year-old he’s sure to use his youth to his advantage, and as a former athlete, albeit amateur, he also knows how to connect with his clients.
In the end, he just wants to provide the best for them. And he does it for free.
Yes, The Dingman Group makes money from real estate or other company referrals, but there are times when those don’t produce income. He’s still going to work because he knows helping could lead to another client.
Last year, before the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim were reaping the rewards of Abreu, Dingman was in the background, helping the former Yankees slugger leave New York and move to Orange County.
Dingman had to help find someone to purchase Abreu’s former home, then secure a place for his client to be closer to the Angels. There was also organizing the big move and helping Abreu and his family be worry-free of any stress that can come from such a relocation.
Turns out, a realtor involved in the Abreu move referred Dingman when Pronger needed help, leaving the Anaheim Ducks for the Philadelphia Flyers. Dingman’s still at work, trying to help sell Pronger’s former property at Shady Canyon.
