Our property preservation efforts don’t happen by magic. As REO (Real Estate Owned) Field Manager for Brandon Green Companies, Preston assesses REO properties, getting them in shape as best he can before they go to market. From initial inspections to obtaining bids and overseeing work done on a property, Preston is a vital piece to our property preservation efforts.
Concentration: No two REO properties are alike in their needs, making the task of property preservation all the more challenging. Preston uses his knowledge and expertise to assess the condition of REO properties, then makes recommendations on repairs to banks. He also obtains bids from contractors, manages the repair phase of a property, and oversees other vendors in cleaning/maintenance—all part of our commitment to property preservation.
Background: Reconditioning distressed homes is nothing new for Preston. Prior to coming to work for Brandon Green Companies, he lived in San Diego where he rebuilt homes for the survivors of the devastating fires of 2007. Prior to that, he worked in the mortgage industry, reconstructing subprime loans for a large investment company on Wall Street. Preston also has experience flipping homes. All of these experiences add up to an appreciation for taking distressed homes and making them appealing to modern buyers.
Odds and Ends: Preston’s interest in hands-on work has also led him to certification as a Green Building Professional through the National Association of Homebuilders. Preston aspires to further this professional development in taking the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) exam, with eyes on becoming an accredited professional in the green building industry. When not working on Brandon Green Companies projects, Preston also spends time as a personal trainer. [more]
