Collateral Appraiser jobs in California

Job Description:

Collateral Specialists Inc. provides third-party inspection and auditing services to the financial community! Serving the industry for over 25 years, CSI provides services in all 50 states.

CSI field inspections include, but are not limited to:

Floor Plan Inspections - CSI’s floor plan inspections provide lenders with a regularly scheduled accounting of their financed inventory. CSI field representatives visit automotive, truck, and construction equipment dealerships at varying frequencies to verify inventory by serial number and model. CSI will verify which units financed by the bank are on site. Units not on site will need to be reconciled to ascertain their status (e.g., in stock, on demo, on rent, not received, sold, etc.) If they are stored nearby or at a repair shop when you arrive, you will often travel to offsite locations to photograph the vehicle.

Equipment Inspections - Usually in conjunction with a new equipment lease, CSI verifies that the equipment being financed by a leasing company is at the end user’s place of business. Verification includes confirming serial numbers, taking photos, and preparing a short report.

Site Inspections - Collateral Specialist’s site inspection service provides a physical inspection of your borrower’s place of business. All inspections include a report and photos of the property. Depending on your requirements, the CSI representative will either take a tour of the inside of the property or perform a no-contact exterior inspection. The detailed site inspection report provides information on the competition, the current business environment, and many other aspects that lenders need to know. Many of these inspections have a set of special instructions per the need of the client, so someone who has keen attention to detail, and written instructions is imperative.
