The SVN Special Assets Group’s core business activities are focused on serving financial institutions, bankruptcy courts, and government agencies. Our team is experienced in short sales, bankruptcy workouts and we understand the accountability issues, tracking processes and reporting requirements necessary to represent institutional owners of real property and non performing loans. We understand that each portfolio/property is different and demands creative thinking, actions and analysis to achieve the best results. Our goal is to create maximum competition, which equals maximum value for our clients.
