The collective expertise of our three principals enables us to exert a powerful voice on the entire span of distressed real estate.
Rodney Carey is an expert on the politics and perspectives of the lengthy real estate sales process, the state of today’s distressed asset market and the common missteps in this confusing, cumbersome process. As an expert in real estate finance operations, he identifies gaps in business practices and finds ways to make said practices more efficient. Carey knows exactly why yesterday’s processes don’t work in today’s market.
“The most effective way to speed our nation’s economic recovery is to address the REO problem directly and expertly,” says Carey.
Prior to founding Woodward Asset Capital in 2007, Mr. Carey was a Director with First Franklin Financial Corp., a subsidiary of Merrill Lynch.
Ronald Jasgur is an expert in real estate sales and is passionate about professional standards and risk reduction in the real estate business. His practical knowledge and experience provides the perspective that institutional sellers of distressed assets are missing. Jasgur is a licensed real estate broker and has more than 20 years of financial, operations and business development experience.
“In a distressed real estate sale, profit or loss is determined the moment an offer is accepted. If the seller or lender doesn’t have the opportunity to review every possible offer, they lose every time,” says Jasgur. “It’s that simple.”
Prior to founding Woodward Asset Capital in 2007, Mr. Jasgur founded Homesource, Realtors® and recently served as Director and Treasurer of the Western Wayne Oakland County Association of Realtors (WWOCAR).
Gerald Kazakov has more than two decades of expertise in all aspects of residential real estate including finance, sales, acquisition and rehabilitation. His vast knowledge and know-how help turn problems into solutions and opportunity into results. His experience and systematic approach to portfolio valuation and analysis has served as the cornerstone to our acquisition and development business.
“I see opportunity where others see issues,” says Kazakov. “The only thing standing in the way of solving most problems is a slight change in perspective. Then it all becomes crystal-clear.”
Prior to founding Woodward Asset Capital in 2007, Mr. Kazakov was Vice President of First Mortgage America.
