Default / REO Management Candidates

As the CEO and President, I have spearheaded TREO for over thirty years. In that role TREO has assisted over 72 financial institutions and mortgage insurance companies, RTC, and FDIC. In addition, and in affiliation with NADP, TREO developed many of the uniform processes, practices and standards used today in the industry. Since 2003, TREO has liquidated more than $752Million in commercial, retail, and residential real estate with court appointments, which included Lehman Brothers, RBC (Royal Bank of Canada) and Aurora Loan Servicing in the investigation and resolution of a $144Million fraud case.

Two years ago I was given the opportunity to allow the other members within the organization to decide if I should continue in this role. I was honored to be re-elected to serve on the Board of Directors. I express my sincere appreciation for all that believed I would be the right person to continue in my position. Now I hope to be given another opportunity to remain in my role as a Board Member and continue the amazing work our organization does for this industry. As we know, these past few years in our industry have been challenging and we can’t foresee what the upcoming year will bring. I am though confident that my years of experience, along with my diverse background in this industry can assist with the organization’s new ideas as we pivot to educate not only REO and default, but all within real estate, lending, and servicing. NADP states it is committed to its members, individuals and companies and I would as a Board Member show my commitment and welcome that opportunity to continue with NADP in that vision.

I had participated in REOMAC on and off since the late 90’s and recognized the experienced and well-trained broker network and benefited from meeting with other servicer members. There has been tremendous rebuilding of the REOMAC/NADP Organization in the last few years as we re engaged Servicers to participate, improved our education content and launched the Certification programs to train new agents. In the next few years I anticipate expanding certification programs to other parts of the Default area including Loss Mitigation & Probate.

I am a team player. Outspoken, yet respectful. Willing to challenge the status quo, ask the tough questions, and have the difficult conversations. I propose ideas and execute on those ideas. I have an immeasurable worth ethic. The only place success comes before work is the dictionary. My skillset and experience is very different yet extremely complimentary to the board. Having 20 years of experience in the mortgage industry and working for 14 years within Carrington’s vertically integrated continuum, I uniquely understand the every stage of the entire mortgage loan lifecycle. Carrington is the 7th largest GNMA servicer in the space ($175 BN / 800,000 loans). We regularly file 1,500-2,000 foreclosure actions each month. We have touched, managed, and dispositioned more than 785,000 assets. We have completed more than 1 million loan mods and have filed more than 1 million GNMA claims. We own a real estate brokerage firm with 1,600 agents across 39 states. Our title company regularly completes 20 thousand monthly residential transactions and more than $5 million in commercial transactions.
