OUR HISTORY
Founded in 2006 as TDE Capital, United Legacy began with deep roots in real estate and has grown into a thriving private financial services firm, built on trust, shared vision, and a deep commitment to the people we serve. What started as a small team with big ambitions has flourished into a network of separate but connected brands, all operating under one roof, united by a common mission of Funding Freedom.
Under the leadership of founders Mehdi Amini and Tomas Schoff, with over 25 years of business and 21 years of real estate expertise, United Legacy has expanded across California, Florida, Hawaii, and Texas, with offices in Del Mar, La Jolla, Honolulu, and Tampa. Through every milestone, our growth has been driven by a shared dedication to integrity, innovation, and putting people first—whether it's our investors, partners, or the communities we support.
More than a financial firm, United Legacy is a family of businesses, growing together through hard work, trust, and a common purpose. As we continue our journey, our mission remains the same: to create lasting opportunities, build meaningful relationships, and leave a legacy that stands the test of time.
