Artisan Residential REO Services
A Unique and Powerful Proposition


Artisan Real Estate Advisors offers a truly masterful solution to the disposition of residential real property.  Approached as an asset management project, each lender's portfolio receives servicing on both an individual and portfolio basis.  Using this approach offers the power of a national servicing company as well as the care and understanding of individual property and market dynamics only found in the best local firms. With work for Fannie Mae (FNM) and the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) dating back nearly 20 years, assignments from municipalities, utilities, states, and the United States government, Artisan principals are uniquely qualified to assist in the disposition of your REO properties.

First, the lender is thoroughly interviewed on its needs and goals, its preferred communication and processes, and on not only current but also projected REO properties so that a customized strategy can be created.  We know that every client is different and will have a unique mix of property, disposition needs, risk aversion, and loss mitigation.  Only when Artisan experts fully understand the client do we move on to property evaluation and recommendations.

Your properties will be evaluated both as a stand alone asset and as a part of the group.  This way, we are certain not to miss opportunity and to avoid pitfalls in this rapidly changing and competitive market.  Artisan also considers every portfolio (even if it's only two  properties) a dynamic asset - if the market is constantly changing doesn't it make sense that your strategy should too?  For example, one asset may, at a certain point in time, have more ability for equity recovery and should receive extra attention.  Similarly, another home may face strong competition and should be temporarily held pending a better market.  This is where the deep experience and commercial expertise of Artisan principals makes all the difference.  Five decades of full-time investment real estate work will  better protect your equity, and offer returns faster with less risk and headache.

Artisan can also assist in the creation of internal policy and practice for our clients that need our expertise in other markets.  Most REO disposition strategies offer room for much improvement.  By its very nature, real property is unique.  Typical disposition programs fall short in addressing the time value of money (IRR), competition, lack of market data, and the intricacies of multi-property sales.  We provide a wide array of services in an a la carte format including:
  • Integrated strategy for different property types
  • Cross market portfolio strategy
  • Training and coaching for client employees and allied professionals
  • Consulting and creation of documents and forms
  • High-detail expanded Broker Price Opinions (BPO)
  • Disposition team creation
  • Assistance with our market real estate agents (selection criteria, research, and interviewing)
  • Inspection, repair, maintenance, management, and staging
  • Superlative marketing programs custom tailored for each property that provide maximum persuasive exposure.
