Short-term: Loan Sale
Loan sales are optimal when an institution desires liquidity, reduction in non-performing loans or other concentrations, or a targeted risk based capital metric. The RWK Team evaluates 3 options: sell the loan, workout the loan, or foreclose and sell. Sales can happen in less than 2 months and strategies range from selling the most valuable loans at the highest prices so that an institution can concentrate resources on the more high-yielding difficult loans, to selling the more difficult loans immediately to get them off the books.

Short-term: Property Sale
Property sales are typically appropriate for real estate owned properties with income or sales out of receivership. RWK sales professionals throughout the country work with other RWK professionals to sell properties.

Long-term: Asset Enhancement/Sale
Many times the optimal strategy is to stabilize and then sell the asset. Unfortunately, many lending institutions do not have the resources to effectively harness these asset management and sales resources in a meaningful way. RWK accomplishes this by engaging asset management professionals throughout the country to create a plan to lease up the property, complete deferred maintenance and position the property with the sales professionals for an optimal sales execution. Timing can range from 6 - 36 months, depending on the market and the asset's physical and financial situation.
