Metro Brokers Bank Asset Team Reaches Major Milestone of 3,000 Sales
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 19, 2013 -- The 3,000th listing sold by the Metro Brokers Bank Asset Team was located at 410 East Church Street in Monroe, Ga. This commercial listing – which sold for $305,000 – is a 3-story antebellum house built in 1890, and is now being used as a special event space for weddings, parties and more. The selling agent for the property was Paula Byrd of Metro Brokers’ Buckhead office.
Since its inception in February 2010, the Bank Asset Team has managed more than 4,000 properties in a variety of categories: Land, retail, homes, apartments, lots, subdivisions, office space and more. In addition to providing marketing services such as listing and selling, the Bank Asset Team also offers valuation, preservation, property management, HOA, vendor management and more services through a single point of contact.
“Banks are continuing to move towards hiring asset management companies like the Metro Brokers Bank Asset Team that allow them to take a hands off approach,” said President and CEO Kevin Levent. “This has reduced the bank’s personnel expense and liability by transferring the workload to our company. We are more efficient and effective at disposing of bank assets, which allows them to concentrate on what they do best: Being bankers.”
The Bank Asset Team started out with servicing other real estate owned (OREO) assets from FDIC Loss Share institutions, but has expanded to handle their legacy, non-Loss Share assets. Currently, the division handles assets from 15 banks, 12 of which are FDIC Loss Share institutions. While the program began in Georgia, it has since spread nationally with properties focused in the southeast: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida.
“Our client engagement model is unique for two reasons,” said Joel Strimban, Senior Vice President of the Bank Asset Team. “1) It’s a totally integrated model with full-time, dedicated subject matter experts in key areas, and 2) the program is custom designed and optimized to fit each bank’s credit policy, goals and objectives. Our bank clients, which consist of some of the largest regional banks in the southeast, have been very pleased with our performance.”
