Heath, MAI, SRA Thomas D. Heath has been involved in all sectors of the real estate industry since 1961. Mr. Heath began his career in real estate as a sales agent. In 1963 Mr. Heath accepted a position in the real estate lending department of The Bank of California. During his nearly 15-year tenure with The Bank of California, Mr. Heath held several management level positions including Chief Appraiser of the Southern California Division, Real Estate Loan Officer, to finally assuming the position of Senior Vice President, Division Manager of Bancal Mortgage (a subsidiary of The Bank of California). Upon the decision of The Bank of California to divest of Bancal Mortgage, Mr. Heath and another senior level associate approached Bowest Mortgage (a subsidiary of The Bowry Savings Bank) to enhance the existing loan acquisition arm of the company. During his stay at Bowest Mortgage, loan acquisitions catapulted from $260 million annually to over $600 million annually in just under a three-year period. Mr. Heath took this success at Bowest Mortgage to his new position as Loan Acquisition Division Manager of United First Mortgage which eventually became Merrill Lynch Mortgage. As a Construction Loan Officer at The Bank of California, Mr. Heath developed a relationship with Emil Fish of Fish Construction Company. While maintaining this relationship, Mr. Heath developed an entrepreneurial desire to start his own business. This led to the formation of Pre-Construction Development Corporation which was jointly owned by Heath and Fish. The goal of this newly formed company was to purchase unentitled raw land, render the sites to their highest and best use, and create value through the entitlement process for either in-house development or resale. The success of this company led to the formation of Advanced Savings and Loan. While President and Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Savings and Loan, Mr. Heath created and administered two subsidiary corporations, ASL Financial and ASL Mortgage. Mr. Heath operated the parent institution and its two subsidiaries for seven years, leaving in 1989 after realizing that the re-regulation of the savings & loan industry was prohibitive to profits. It is important to note that Advanced Savings and Loan and all of its subsidiaries met all the newly instituted FIRREA regulations and capitalization requirements upon his departure. Upon leaving Advanced Savings and Loan, Mr. Heath took advantage of his several appraisal designations, including being a Member of the Appraisal Institute (MAI) designation achieved in the 1980's, to found The Heath Group in August of 1989. Mr. Heath is currently an MAI and SRA designated Real Estate Appraiser, a licensed California Real Estate Broker, and a FNMA and FHLMC Approved Appraiser and Underwriter. Mr. Heath holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Finance/Real Estate from the California State University at Los Angeles, a Certificate of Real Estate from the University of California at Los Angeles, and is a graduate of Northwestern University's School of Mortgage Banking. |
