This role is responsible for managing assets from foreclosure through final disposition across multiple states and markets. Depending on the property and market conditions, strategies may include as-is liquidation, targeted improvements, or alternative value-driven approaches. Our Asset Managers serve as the hub of the wheel in each market—bringing together all spokes, including attorneys, real estate agents, contractors, and vendors, to keep operations turning smoothly.
