Jerry Hahn, a West Point Graduate and owner of Precision Property Management (Precision), has been around the block and understands truly what type of person it takes to function under fire — literally. Hahn, whom was a Captain in the US Army in Somalia at a time when the Emperor in DC demonstrated precisely why politics and war strategy do not mix, brought many of those tried and true talents to the Mortgage Field Services Industry. As opposed to the typical Order Mill mentality; as opposed to the Order Mill owners whom have no vested interest in the success or failure of the Portfolios upon which those owners oversee, Hahn actually works in the field with his Contractors. That same type of Mission Critical mentality extends into Hahn’s hiring philosophy.
Whereas, I am at a loss to identify a single Order Mill — or Portfolio Holder for that matter — whom has made it a priority to concentrate their hiring strategy upon giving those brave men and women whom have answered the Call of Duty, Hahn recognized early on that these were precisely the type of people we need in the Industry. Duty, Honor, Creed; these are ingrained in the men and women whom serve in the World’s finest Armed Forces. These are additionally the characteristics which this Industry sorely needs today. While I have no statistics with respect to how many Craigslist hacks are both Veterans and display these three intrinsic characteristics, I believe that my latest Article exemplifies the perils of hiring there.
The reality is that the Mortgage Field Services Industry is a high pressure arena. The product which sells, regardless of what people think, is photo interpretation. Hahn keyed to that early on. Don’t get me wrong, work has to be done; the reality is that the Initial Services are really a baseline for the creation of the bids. To be able to capitalize upon bids, though, Contractors need a keen eye. Those of us whom are former intelligence officers understand this. Both the Client and Contractor benefit from the identification of problematic issues upon an asset; no meaningful money is ever made upon debris removal or grass cuts. For those whom make a living upon these items, they merely have a job and not a career. More on point, the command and control over the technically precise vernacular; the ability to demonstrate precision prose without the superfluous, is that which Clients hang their proverbial hats upon.
Derek Weathers is a US Army Reservist and a fellow Intelligence Analyst whom has been working within the Mortgage Field Services Industry. When Precision realized that it was time to bring on the superior fire power to ensure scalability for his new Clients, Hahn knew that there was only one Source through which to communicate his requirements. Within 48 hours, Weathers was procured for Precision.
Derek comes with a wealth of experience within the Property Preservation field, having spent the last three years at Iron Horse Property Preservation. Derek supervised and trained crews conducting the full spectrum of property preservation operations. In addition, he increased the speed and efficiency of individual crews by authoring and updating a crew leader handbook. Furthermore, Derek implemented the Iron Horse Quality Control program which resulted in a 30% increase in net profit over a 2 year period. He has also served as an Intelligence Analyst for the US Army / US Army Reserve for the last 8 years.
In addition to the obvious merits of hiring US Armed Forces Veterans, there are intrinsic financial benefits. For nearly two years, Foreclosurepedia has partnered with major Empire Building Firms to partner Veterans and Industry professionals. Foreclosurepedia has educated these Firms upon the fact that most state legislatures have allocated funds which pay for one half of the hourly rate of the Veteran and additionally provide thousands of dollars more in grant money for these Firms to retrain the Veterans with specificity to the landscape of the Industry. More on point, though, these Veterans are eligible for OSHA Training and a plethora of other skill sets, free of charge, which compliment the Firm’s strategy. All background checks including verification of Certifications, Licenses (including Driving Record) and other ancillary skill set testing such as words per minute (wpm), 10 key and otherwise are all included in the Personnel Jacket which accompanies the prospective employee to their Initial Interview with the Firm. Finally, as opposed to most caseloads wherein hundreds and sometimes thousands of people are on a caseload, a Veteran has a Dedicated Vet Rep (Veteran’s Representative) whom liaises with both the Veteran and the Firm to ensure a smooth transition into the civilian workforce.
Foreclsurepedia applauds Hahn’s commitment to the honorable men and women whom have answered the Call of Duty. While I am, perhaps, biased in my favoritism of Veterans, the reality is that these people bring a unique and specific talent to the Industry which is sorely needed. This is displayed in both Foreclosurepedia’s No Contractor Left Behind Mission and the reality in that Foreclosurepedia Has Your Six Mantra.
