Receivership/REO
Deep Experience Counts
REO and Receivership properties often pose complex challenges for lending institutions and note buyers involved in the foreclosure process. The skilled Receivers and Property Managers at Etkin, combined with leading-edge brokerage services available through our strategic alliance with CBRE, create an unparalleled resource to reduce or eliminate creditor losses.
Receivership

Our winning receivership strategy:
- Take possession of the property and all related bank accounts, keys, codes, records, etc.
- Oversee management to ensure the property is operating soundly
- Create new operational and accounting protocols
- Determine if the property requires major maintenance, renovations or capital improvements
- Notify all creditors and suppliers of Etkin’s appointment as the Receiver
- Review and determine if franchise agreements, insurance policies, vendor contracts and leases should be continued, terminated or renegotiated
- Submit all necessary court reports
- Report progress to stakeholders
- Implement aggressive marketing and leasing plans to maximize occupancy
- Determine the best exit strategy through CBRE’s brokerage services
