Over the years, I’ve grown to appreciate and enjoy the real estate aspect of commercial lending. I thoroughly enjoy reviewing appraisals and performing real estate evaluations. My passion is commercial real estate. I believe my previous position as an appraisal manager is a bank’s first line of defense in mitigating any risks associated with commercial real estate lending. With over 30 years of experience in the banking industry, my extensive knowledge of commercial real estate contributes to my desire to assist financial institutions in understanding risks associated with their commercial real estate portfolios. I possess a thorough understanding of the West Michigan real estate market and my extensive knowledge in commercial real estate contributes to a superior product.
