COMPANY HISTORY: Qualified is an Arizona- and Florida-based, woman-owned business that has been in existence since 1987. Anne Golestani is the owner and operator, who manages the firm with the assistance of her husband, Fred Golestani. After graduating with a degree in accounting, Ms. Golestani worked in the mortgage industry for eight years as an assistant loan servicing manager. In 1991, she made the transition to business owner with the opening of Qualified's Florida office. Since then she has been fully involved with the daily operations of both regional offices. Fred Golestani has been involved in the mortgage industry for 27 years. He worked for a national field service company for nine years before opening his own business. Mr. Golestani served as president of the National Association of Mortgage Field Services (NAMFS) from 1997 through 1999. Since that time he has served the industry as a member of the board of governors of NAMFS and on various volunteer committees. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: qual•i•fied (adjective): experienced, skilled, competent, reliable, capable, licensed The definition of "qualified" is a fitting description of this property preservation company. At Qualified, one of the biggest competitive differentiators is its team of professionals. Together, they have more than 75 years of combined experience in field services, property preservation, REO services, and mortgage banking. Qualified has a small company feel, with big company experience. It welcomes clients with small portfolios– whether it's one loan or a thousand, Qualified treats each client's assets as if they were its own. Qualified understands that it serves as the eyes and ears for its clients and that they rely on the Qualified team for vital information regarding the condition of their assets. Qualified prides itself on understanding changes in market conditions and keeping up-to-date with state and federal regulations. Each and every property is unique, so Qualified would never expect its clients to accept one type of report or service. The company customizes to suit the needs of each client. IN THEIR OWN WORDS: "At Qualified we know what it feels like to be different. After all, not all clients or properties will have the same inspection or property preservation requirements. So how can we expect our clients to follow our rules or what works for others? That would be like comparing apples to oranges. So when you're looking for an inspection and property preservation partner, be sure they're Qualified." 2012 STRATEGY: Qualified's goal for 2012 is to build its client base with the small to mid-sized banks, credit unions, and asset management companies currently underserved or turned away by other inspection and field service providers simply because their distressed asset portfolio is considered "too small."
