Receiverships
Bryan Sperry has acted as a receiver for a number of properties and clients including Washington Mutual (WaMu), Guaranty Bank & Trust Company, and through the law firm of Fisher, Sweetbaum, Levin, Sands, P.C.

When acting as a receiver, Bryan is focused on protecting and preserving the value of the asset on behalf of their client throughout the foreclosure and receivership period. Often they actually enhance the value of the asset during their tenure as the receiver.

As a commercial property receiver in Colorado, Bryan Sperry and Sperry Properties provides these services:

1. Secure the property and protect it from vandalism, damage or any attempt at stripping the property by a tenant, former tenant or borrower.
2. Address any safety, hazard, or liability issues.
3. Provide a full complement of property management services while the property is in receivership, including any needed repairs or maintenance.
4. Cost-effectively keep the building or property running and operating as efficiently as possible during the receivership.
5. Keep the property's income stream as high as possible during the period the lender is holding the property, which may include negotiating with existing tenants.
6. Recommend cost-effective ways of improving or enhancing the property to facilitate quick disposition as soon as the lender is in legal possession of the property, whether that is granted through the courts or the foreclosure process.

Receivership Objectives
The main objective during the receivership period is to stabilize the property and keep it in good physical and financial condition so that the bank (or other lender) can dispose of the asset as quickly as possible for maximum return as soon as they are free to do so. Bryan Sperry acts as the bank's eyes, ears and caretaker during the receivership period. Well aware that in a foreclosure situation the bank is already losing money, Sperry's role is often to stanch the bleeding as much as possible and keep the property stable until disposition. All Sperry receivership systems are designed to keep the bank fully informed as to the status of the asset at all times. Financial and property reports are compiled and presented in whatever format the lender might require, and all statements are posted online, providing 24/7 password-protected access from multiple locations for any authorized party at any office or branch.
