Analyzed the company's records, assessed the embezzlement that had
occurred, provided thorough, detailed documentation of the theft in a
concise informative report convinced the insurance company of the accuracy
of the data and succeeded in recovering in excess of $500,000.
Analyzed a complex real estate transaction, documented that the company had
overpaid for the property, proved the overpayment first to the skeptical
company President, then to the company attorney and finally to the seller
and his attorney. Recovered approximately $85,000, the full amount of the
overpayment.
Thoroughly analyzed the sales contract process and implemented a detailed
procedure for writing and processing sales contracts. Educated sales
associates in timing of changes and enforced the procedures established.
Saved the company money by reducing or eliminating late changes without
additional charges and eliminating math errors. Improved relations between
departments and avoided customer satisfaction issues.
Successfully led a company during its wind down of operations, overseeing
construction and customer service, supervising real estate brokers,
collaborating with attorneys on homeowners association lawsuits,
negotiating severance agreements with key personnel while downsizing the
operations to a customer service operation and established guidelines and
procedures for customer service personnel.
Completed two major transactions, solving problems in the absence of the
owners that had been handling them. Caught errors in title company
documents and successfully completed option agreements, meeting deadlines
and avoiding the company defaulting on loans. Initiated contact with
insurance agent to revise wording in insurance coverage for potential
defects in original apartment construction, coordinated discussions on

compromise that saved the closing of the apartment complex acquisition and
assuring the continued operation of the company.
