When Jerry Mavellia and Dan Leader, CEO and COO for Guardian Asset Management, respectively, formed their company in 2007, they did so with the knowledge that there was going to be an increase in foreclosures and defaults that would necessitate their services. “There was a real need for repairing and restoring properties as well as preserving and preparing them for resale,” said Mavellia, who had founded his first asset management company specializing in property preservation in 1995. After selling that company, Mavellia and Leader teamed up to create Guardian Asset Management in order to provide the housing industry with what they describe as “a forward thinking, client-centric national inspection, maintenance, and repair company.”
Guardian Asset Management has held the HUD M&M FSM Contract longer than any other HUD Awardee in history. In addition, Guardian’s multi-channel approach to a complete suite of cradle-to-grave servicing of assets is a testament to the agile management under Guardian’s hood. Under the leadership of Mr Leader, Guardian has become the stand alone, Industry standard for Mortgage Field Services.
