Edward Conk

Edward “Chip” Conk is no stranger to business. After successfully launching a publishing firm and then selling it to begin a career in real estate, he has learned a few things. Edward Conk’s most recent business investment is the Montecito Medical Investment Company (MMIC). Along with his partners, Edward Conk has positioned MMIC to be one of the largest privately held companies specializing in acquiring and developing hospitals, medical office buildings, skilled nursing facilities, and long term acute care and surgery centers. In his role as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of this exciting company, Edward Conk plays a dynamic and central role in the company’s success and growth. It is no small feat that under his watch in 2006, MMIC was named the second fastest growing medical related real estate company in the United States. New deals are being brokered every month, and to date, Montecito Medical has acquired more than $350 million in medical-related real estate. At current rates of acquisition, it is projected that MMIC will have acquired over five million square feet before the close of the year. Edward Conk has prepared for such a task by installing a team of high-level financial analysts and developing a proprietary underwriting system that allows for the quick assessment of a deal’s viability. MMIC currently employs 30 people and has its executive offices in Santa Barbara, California. The firm also has satellite acquisition and operations offices maintained in Nashville, Tennessee, Austin, Texas, and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. MMIC’s legal team is located in Jacksonville, Florida. Edward “Chip” Conk currently resides in California with his wife and two children. He enjoys spending his free time with them whenever he is not busy with the next big business project.
