Three Paths
Buy, list, or note review, asset by asset
The short answer

Bank Owned Solutions is how Linton Global Solutions helps banks, credit unions, and servicers clear real estate owned (REO) and distressed assets. We offer three paths for every asset: direct purchase by our investor buyers, a full listing and marketing disposition, or, for loans, a non-performing loan note-tape review by our sister company, Linton Global Capital. Florida properties are represented directly by Michael R. Linton, Florida Broker #BK703722.

Three ways we clear your book

Every asset gets the path that fits it.

Not every property belongs on the MLS, and not every one should be sold at a bulk discount. We recommend a path for each asset on your list, and you decide.

Door 1

Our Buyers Purchase It

Direct sale to our investor buyers: as-is, single asset or bulk, with a clean, predictable path to close. Best when speed and certainty matter more than squeezing out the last dollar.

  • As-is purchase, no repair demands
  • Single assets or bulk pools
  • Commercial and residential buyers
  • Proof of funds with every offer
Door 2

We List & Sell It

Full brokerage disposition by a Florida-licensed firm: valuation, pricing strategy, marketing to our buyer network and the open market, offer management, and closing.

  • BOV / BPO before you decide
  • Marketing to our buyer pools and MLS
  • Offer analysis and negotiation
  • Weekly status reporting
Door 3

We Review the Note Tape

Holding loans, not real estate? Our sister company, Linton Global Capital, reviews non-performing and re-performing note tapes secured by commercial and residential property.

  • NPL and re-performing loans
  • Commercial and residential collateral
  • Single notes or pools
  • Separate entity, separate review
Who's buying

Our investors are looking for properties like yours.

We run two dedicated buyer tracks: commercial distressed buyers and residential REO buyers. Investors come to us specifically to buy bank-owned and distressed Florida property, and they tell us their buy box up front: type, size, location, and price.

So when your list arrives, we're not guessing who might want it. We match each asset to buyers who already said yes to that kind of deal. See how investors work with us →

Holding loans, not real estate?

Send the note tape, too.

Linton Global Capital is a separate entity from Linton Global Solutions. Any interest in a note or pool is subject to its own review, diligence, and documentation. Nothing on this page is an offer to buy or sell securities.

In your mailbox

Questions asset managers ask

Frequently asked questions

What is Bank Owned Solutions?

Bank Owned Solutions is the Linton Global Solutions program for banks, credit unions, servicers, and asset managers holding real estate owned (REO) and distressed assets. We offer three paths for a single asset or a full portfolio: direct purchase by our investor buyers, a full listing and marketing disposition, and, for loans rather than real estate, a review of note tapes by our sister company, Linton Global Capital.

Do you buy REO directly, or list it for sale?

Both. Our buyers purchase bank-owned property directly, as-is, one asset at a time or in bulk. When a property will bring more on the open market, we list and market it as a Florida-licensed brokerage. Many portfolios end up as a mix, and we recommend the path asset by asset.

Do you handle both commercial and residential REO?

Yes. Commercial assets include multifamily, office, retail, industrial, hospitality, medical office, self-storage, and land. Residential assets include single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, 2–4 unit properties, and lots. Residential 1–4 unit transactions follow residential consumer-protection rules.

Can you help with properties outside Florida?

Linton Global Solutions represents Florida properties directly. For assets in other states, we work through a licensed Linton Global Solutions referral partner in that state, so every property is handled by a broker licensed where it sits.

Who reviews non-performing loan (NPL) note tapes?

Linton Global Capital, our sister company, reviews non-performing and re-performing note tapes secured by real estate. It is a separate entity; any interest in a tape is subject to its own review, diligence, and documentation. Nothing on this page is an offer to buy or sell securities.

What do you need from us to get started?

An asset list or data tape is enough to begin: property address, property type, occupancy, condition notes, and your internal value or unpaid balance if available. We sign NDAs on request, and there is no fee to review your list.

Can you provide BOVs or BPOs on our REO?

Yes. We provide broker opinions of value for commercial assets and broker price opinions for residential properties across Florida, so you have a supportable number before you choose a disposition path.

Can you secure, clean, and maintain vacant REO?

Yes. Our Florida vendor network covers securing, trash-outs, cleaning, lawn and landscaping, and code-compliance work, coordinated with the disposition so the property shows well and stays protected.

How is Linton Global Solutions compensated?

Terms are agreed in writing for each assignment. Listing dispositions are typically compensated by commission at closing under a listing agreement. There is no charge to review your asset list or data tape.
