First Valuation Grows Sales Team to Support Increasing Client Base

Online, June 29, 2012 (Newswire.com) - First Valuation, an industry leading collateral valuation services provider, is expanding its Sales and Marketing team in response to robust growth through the first half of the year. Industry veteran, Mark Noonan, has joined First Valuation as a National Sales Executive and will lead the management of several of First Valuation's strategic accounts. In addition, Noonan will work to continue the growth of the national account base for the company.

"The success and experience Mark brings from his time at Citigroup will be a huge asset to both our company and our clients," said Chris McLain, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at First Valuation. "We position ourselves as consultants to our clients and we can only do that by bringing aboard industry veterans like Mark."

After spending the past eight years with Citigroup, Noonan joins First Valuation in their Westminster, Colorado corporate office. Noonan brings a great deal of experience and an exceptional reputation for service to the Sales team. With more than twenty years of experience in client management and relationship development, both nationally and internationally, he focuses his approach on growing strong partnerships, creating innovative business solutions and increasing client satisfaction to drive strong, successful results in the valuation industry.

At Citigroup, Noonan served as the Regional Director of Sales and Marketing where he was recognized as an accomplished and trusted professional in the real estate community. Before settling in Denver, Colorado, Noonan worked in New York, Washington, DC, Bermuda, and London. He is currently an active member of the community, serving on several boards of directors for national and local charities including Rebuilding Together Metro Denver, The Colfax Partnership and Historic Montclair.

Noonan joins a rapidly growing organization at First Valuation. The company continues to grow its First Valuation brand after nearly a decade of doing business as BrokerPriceOpinion.com. Recent growth at First Valuation can be attributed to a combination of enhancing current product offerings like the BPO PLUS with DATA ADVANTAGE and the introduction of new products like the Retrospective Value Review. These new and enhanced products have been well received in the mortgage banking community allowing First Valuation to add GSE's and top 10 mortgage lenders to their client base. As a nationwide valuation services provider and appraisal management company, First Valuation anticipates continued growth as it expands its product suite with new, innovative valuation solutions.
