ASSET SPECIALISTS, INC.
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA

COMPANY PROFILE Asset Specialists, Inc. is a privately held company headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and is recognized throughout the industry as a leading investment facilitator that capitalizes on the cyclical recovery of the commercial real estate markets. Our focus is to form partnerships that provide private equity and capital partners with “value add” and “opportunistic” real estate investments yielding exceptional returns and leading to long lasting relationships. Founded in 1989 by Tom Gibson, the company’s primary focus was to provide national and regional lenders with a full service “Asset Assistance” program for their burgeoning portfolios of defaulted loans and foreclosed commercial properties. Due to the unprecedented volume of defaulting loans, Asset Specialists, Inc. expanded rapidly, encompassing a multi-state portfolio with multi-state offices, and represented most major lenders at that time. In a short five year span, Asset Specialists, Inc. successfully handled the takeover, property management and disposition of over $500 million dollars in Lender REO properties, from office and industrial buildings, shopping centers, partially completed residential communities, to large tracts of vacant land and even an amusement park. Armed with the expertise of being turnaround specialists and a credible track record to back it, Asset Specialists, Inc. began teaming up with private equity and capital partners eager to take advantage of the value add and opportunistic investment markets and has never looked back. Our continual relationships with lenders, special servicing agents and vulture fund companies actively buying large portfolios of loans and selling off specific assets has enabled us to continue to bring opportunities to our partners through both good and bad economic times.
