Our Team
Wedgewood Loan Assets’ success would not be possible without its team of experienced asset managers, real estate professionals who are experts in handling the ups and downs of real estate cycles. Though not always possible, their primary goal is to get loans re-performing. This team determines the best resolution on an individual property basis, offering multiple resolutions to the borrower, including modifications, principal write down, and short sales.
