Since 2003, I have focused exclusively on the disposition of distressed assets for REO vendors, hedge funds, and mortgage servicers throughout Metropolitan Detroit. My platform is designed for speed, compliance, and scalability, with a proven track record of low Days on Market and high net recovery across large portfolios.

I bring extensive, hands-on expertise in short sale negotiations, investor approvals, and servicer overlays, allowing complex files to be resolved efficiently and moved to closing without unnecessary delays. This depth of experience reduces fallout rates, shortens cycle times, and minimizes carrying costs for institutional clients.

In 2007, I built a dedicated REO operation to support institutional volume. Today, as Broker/Owner of RE/MAX First City Real Estate Team, my team delivers full-service asset management including BPOs, pricing strategy, Cash for Keys negotiations, occupancy resolution, property preservation oversight, and final disposition. We currently manage 388+ active assets and have consistently ranked among the top performers in Detroit for distressed and bank-owned sales.

Our strength lies in our internal staff and team structure. We operate with eight offices across Metro Detroit, supported by 275+ trained REO agents and dedicated administrative and field staff who manage compliance, reporting, and vendor coordination. This infrastructure allows us to execute quickly, maintain tight control over timelines, and keep assets market-ready—resulting in consistently low DOM.

I have personally overseen the successful disposition of over 250,000 distressed properties, providing deep operational insight into foreclosure timelines, title challenges, occupancy issues, and regulatory requirements. This experience allows us to anticipate problems, resolve them early, and protect asset value.

Asset managers receive clear, proactive communication, timely reporting, and actionable recommendations throughout the life of the asset. Our objective is straightforward: reduce hold time, control risk, and maximize net proceeds for every portfolio we manage.
