The appointments are as follows: Casey J. Coleman as President, Corey Vandenberg as Vice President, and William Pettet as Secretary/Treasurer. All of these appointments are effective immediately.
Casey J. Coleman, the new President, has been heavily involved in the real estate market for more the 15 years.

Corey Vandenberg, the new Vice President, has been involved in real estate investing and consulting since 1998. As a consultant with Foreclosure Rescue Services, he has helped thousands of homeowners avoid foreclosure, save their personal residences, and preserve their equity and credit rating. Corey founded Utah Foreclosure Advocates in 2002, offering a free service to homeowners that sought to obtain favorable work out conditions to avoid the loss of a home to foreclosure. These activities have created a substantial network in the industry that includes loss mitigation companies, bankruptcy trustees, and legal counsel; all helpful in avoiding the pitfalls of foreclosure.

With the record number of foreclosures, banks have a swelling portfolio of Real Estate Owned properties. Nexia/Wasatch is working with employees at various local and regional banks to begin discussions about purchasing a portion of those assets.
Wasatch is also talking with numerous individual investors who purchased real estate during the recent market boom. Generally these investors have homes in the Salt Lake City Utah market that ranges from 5 homes to 100+ homes. With the changing real estate market, many of these investors see Nexia as a strong exit strategy to liquidate their portfolios.
