Workout Experience
Axiom Properties, Inc. has a long history of diverse real estate activity with a particular focus on repositioning underperforming and problem assets. Our work with these types of assets dates back to the 1970’s when Robert Cagann was engaged as a consultant by a major east coast bank to work out, reposition and liquidate its portfolio of troubled properties. Rather than liquidating the assets “as is” at fire sale prices, the strategy was to invest money prudently to improve the assets, reposition them as performing properties and maximize the values at sale. As a hands-on consultant, Mr. Cagann reported directly to the bank’s Senior Vice-President of Asset Management and was given broad discretion in determining and executing the strategy for each asset. In this role, he repositioned and sold over $400,000,000 of real estate assets. That was the beginning, and it has served as the model through the years in leading us to the same success measures we still carry on today as an active participant in today’s real estate market.
