ABOUT US
Specialists for the complicated deals.
Why we exist.
Real estate runs best when the title is clean, sellers are aligned, and paperwork exists. When any of those assumptions break, the system breaks with it. The seller has a property they can't sell. The attorney has a case that won't close. The realtor has a lead they have to turn away. The investor sees a deal but the title is difficult to navigate.
Problem Real Estate Group exists for exactly those situations. We buy the deals that are hard to close — because we've built the expertise, the patience, and the playbook to work through complications and create win-win scenarios with owners and peers.
We're not for every property. We're for the complicated ones. That's the whole brand.
OUR APPROACH
Three principles.
We leave our egos at the door and meet people exactly where they are—whether that means guiding a family through a difficult transition or talking strategy with an attorney. We communicate to be understood, not merely to impress.
01
Plain language, always
02
Honest about what we can and can't do
If we can buy, we say so quickly. If we can't, we say that too — we won't waste your time.
03
Patient on the right deals
Some situations take time. We're built for that. We move at your pace.
OUR FOOTPRINT
Texas and Kentucky.
We operate statewide in Texas and Kentucky.
If you have a property outside our footprint, let us know, we still may be able to help.
WHO WE ARE
The people behind the work.
Todd Hyden
FOUNDER
Todd founded Problem Real Estate Group with a distinct mission: to tackle the real estate market’s most complex challenges. With a background in civil engineering and a passion for business, Todd brings an analytical, diagnostic approach to the property market. Where others see dead ends, Todd specializes in finding structural paths forward for distressed assets—particularly those burdened by clouded titles, fractured ownership, back taxes, municipal liens, and IRS liens.
He thrives on solving "unfixable" problems, turning legal and financial headaches into clean slates and smooth, stress-free exits for property owners.
When he isn’t untangling complicated property issues, Todd loves spending time with his wife of 14 years and their four children, staying actively involved in his church, and cheering on Texas A&M football.
Christian Chapman
PARTNER
With a dynamic career defined by high-stakes problem solving and a genuine passion for building lasting relationships, Christian brings an unmatched perspective to the real estate industry. He began his professional journey in the detail-oriented world of mortgage underwriting before spending seven years as a Registered Nurse—a role where he mastered the art of advocacy, communication, and operating gracefully under pressure. Today, he seamlessly blends that sharp financial acumen with deep-rooted empathy to guide clients through complex real estate transactions with confidence and care. Outside of his professional life, Christian’s greatest pride is his family and faith, he has been happily married for over 20 years, is raising five children and leads in his local church.
