Success Story 2: Real Estate Investment

"I won't trust the security of my property to any other method."

Anthony Matthews, president of Express Mortgage, needs to protect and secure his investment properties. His growing company specializes in identifying, rehabbing and then selling properties in Chicago neighborhoods in the process of change. "In the areas we operate, you can't afford to leave a property vacant even for a day before vandals are causing damage and problems," he says. That's why securing properties with the VPS system is standard operating procedure for Express Mortgage. "After we purchase a property, it is critical to protect our investment immediately," he adds. "VPS secures all our properties quickly and completely."

Cost is another important factor for Anthony. "I won't trust the security of my investment to any other method, such as plywood boards," he says. "When you consider the cost of repairing damage and replacing stolen equipment, VPS is far and away the most economical solution."

With 40 to 50 projects each year and plans to grow, Express Mortgage also benefits from VPS' capability to secure and service every property. "Service is important and VPS meets our needs quickly," he says. During property rehabbing, Anthony says it is good to know that workers are safe and that the VPS window guards allow for ventilation and light.
