Relocation Manager
Barry and his team direct a large portfolio of single family loans and assets which include both performing and delinquent mortgages, private money loans, rental properties, and REO properties. The scope and breadth of each asset is unique and his team reviews every asset individually to procure the best resolution. Borrowers with delinquent loans are reviewed first for possible retention options such as bringing the loan current, cooperation with various non-profit modification and principle reduction programs, and "in-house” modification reviews. If retention options are not possible, borrowers are also reviewed for non-retention options such a deed in lieu of foreclosure and short payoffs.
"The company goes beyond offering you just a "job"; it offers a career and a future. The company is constantly growing and changing. If you feel you are stuck, explore another business unit that interests you. With so many companies under one roof, there is always room to grow. You just need to be hungry and grab the chance. There are not many companies that can offer so many different opportunities to its employees."
