(NRES) is a single source nationwide field service provider of property inspections, preservation, repair, maintenance, due diligence, and REO asset management for banks, mortgage lenders, government entities, hedge funds, investors, and servicers. Having offices in Thousand Oaks, California (Corporate), and Jacksonville, Florida allows us to provide our clients with coast to coast service, experience and knowledgeable guidance to help them with their needs in the residential and commercial real estate space. With compliance and vendor management as our core competencies, we feel that NRES is a leader in the field services, maintenance and asset management space by driving change within the industry. COMPANY HISTORY: NRES was founded in 2009 by Brian Mingham with a vision to "Bring business to the Preservation Business." This simple tag line was how he started to grow the company as Pacific Preservation Services, PPS, a default property preservation and maintenance company. And since the time of inception, the company has continued its rapid growth by making strategy, focus, planning and compliance as core competencies of the company's management team. With no legacy issues, NRES and its family of companies grow organically through our dedication to the strategic planning process implemented in 2011. As a young company, embracing process improvement has allowed us to do things the right way and build a world class organization. NRES also includes family member CFSI Loan Management, which provides due diligence, contractor review, project approval, fund control and consulting services to banks, lenders, warehouse providers, and private money lenders who are in the construction lending space. Mr. Mingham is the founder and CEO of NRES and its related companies. In this role, he is responsible for the strategic direction and the day to day operations. Mr. Mingham has spent the past 15 years in various roles in the mortgage banking industry, including stints at Countrywide Home Loans and Chase Home Mortgage, where he held executive management positions. This experience in Fortune 100 companies has allowed Mr. Mingham to understand the drivers of sound business execution, allowing NRES to perform at exceptional levels. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE: NRES implemented Six Sigma Black Belt certified policies and procedures focused solely on the increased regulations and compliance requirements that face the field service industry today and the foreseeable future. Some of these policies include field quality assurance and quality control audit capabilities to address suspected fraudulent activity by a vendor, consumer complaint resolution via CFPB, notice of regulation and/or ordinance requirements, property tracking, etc. These controls are a necessary function for the compliance review team to mitigate risk exposure through documentation, corrective and preventive actions. NRES also completes a criminal background check on EVERY vendor that is assigned work, including the vendors, sub-contractors, and employees. KEY FEATURES/BENEFITS NRES is a single-source field service provider. Quickly and accurately implementing a strategy is as important as the strategy itself. Using the technology platform, we work to quickly and efficiently assess occupancy, gain access, secure assets, and return the property to profitability. Regardless of the size of the portfolio, we take a customized, boutique approach that addresses each property individually. » Closely monitor contractor/vendor quality, speed and performance » Ensure all work completed in accordance with investor and insurer guidelines WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM YOUR COMPETITORS?: Our vision is to "Deliver the highest quality, timely, consistent, and transparent information to enable our clients to best manage, protect and improve their assets and investments." Having multiple offices throughout the country enables us to empower our employees to effectively manage day-to-day operations, handle ongoing volume fluctuations of the client and execute our compliance requirements. In addition, NRES has proprietary software, Storm Tracker, which utilizes NOAA data feeds on weather and storm conditions. Storm Tracker uses the GIS information associated with the alerts and their "zone codes," to have a simple process that runs these alerts (both pre-storm and post-storm) against a database of properties managed by NRES for its clients, to earmark the exact properties which fall in either preventative warning alert zones, and/or fall within the exact storm path of a recent weather system. This enables our clients to manage their entire portfolio and implement immediate actions for those areas and properties impacted by a pending disaster. WHAT ADDED VALUE DO YOU BRING TO YOUR CLIENTS?: Through tight quality control measures, stringent vendor oversight, and robust compliance management, NRES significantly reduces the clients' risk exposure. These components allow NRES to create customizable processes that adapt vendor training programs to the guidelines established by each individual client, investor, or insurer. In addition, NRES is dedicated to preserving every property to assist neighborhoods and communities avoid blight and improve quality of life for all families. WHAT ARE THE KEYS TO YOUR SUCCESS?: A thorough understanding of our clients' needs and expectations, and the ability to implement processes that provide timely and quality output of our services.
