Company Overview

The company was founded by Tom Liber in 1980 and over the past 40 years has specialized in business reorganization and debt restructuring. In late 2007, 8558 directed its focus and specialization to commercial real estate loan restructuring and discounted payoff settlement. Since 2007 the firm has restructured and or settled over $10 billion in commercial real estate debt. The firm has developed unique access to and credible professional relationships with lender decision makers including special servicers, CCRs, loan officers, fund managers, and financial advisors that effect negotiated debt restructuring, modifications or DPOs. These relationships are built upon the vast experience of our team and the massive volume of distressed commercial real estate loans which will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.
