First Financial Network is an invaluable partner to financial institutions that need to develop a market to liquidate non-strategic and illiquid assets in the secondary market. FFN brings a complete solution to banks, from marketing, analysis, data collection and security, and a deep and impressive rolodex of buyers.

Their team is top-notch and everyone in the organization understands the various stakeholders and interests that drive bank decisions. To that extent, FFN works hand-in-glove with their clients in creating a transparent, secure, and risk mitigated process that produces tangible results through efficient execution. I highly recommend FFN to any institution that needs to sell assets.

I was a Senior Vice President at two of the top five US banks from 1992 to 2018.  I have had the pleasure of partnering with the First Financial Network team for almost 25 years. I have utilized their services to sell over 10,000 loans, either by large bulk sales of 1,500 notes or more, and one-off note sales. Bliss Morris and her team are extraordinary professionals. They are focused on cutting edge technology and customer service. I wholeheartedly recommend them for your note sale needs.

First Financial Network (FFN) is a highly valued partner in Freddie Mac’s Non-Performing Loan (NPL) Sale transactions. As co-advisor, FFN plays an important role in reaching out to non-profits and Minority, Women, Disabled, LGBTQ+, Veteran or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (MWDOBs), neighborhood advocacy organizations and promoting our program.

With its long-standing experience and broad connections to smaller NPL investors nationwide, FFN has been able to provide insights on market interest and pooling suggestions, bring more attention to our program, and provide guidance to the bidder qualification process. We really appreciate FFN’s dedication and expertise, and look forward to continuing this partnership.

Bliss’ ability to manage these sales and create market liquidity in a very challenging economic environment has played an instrumental role in healing our country’s financial system. Bliss runs her company and conducts business with the highest level of personal integrity. She is a role model for working mothers and giving back to her community.

As an investor, having started acquiring notes from the FDIC, I have known members of the FFN team since the beginning (for a very long time). As we have transitioned from having to travel around the country monitored by Bliss or Jamie to the current platform, the organization is as robust as ever and a leader in loan sale advisory.

Fast forward to the present, over thirty years, and I continue to rely on First Financial Network as a source of deal flow with a close pulse on an ever-changing market. The process from vetting to closing and everything in between has made this relationship as mutually beneficial as any I have had.

FFN has been a trusted advisor for us – both on the buying and selling side.  We have appreciated their ability to handle all aspects and phases of the loan sale process, from valuation guidance to the minutia of detailed document transfer.  Their relationships are broad and deep, and the team’s market knowledge and candor help us all cut to the chase and get to successful resolution on transactions.

My relationship with First Financial dates back over twenty years.  Whenever I’m asked to recommend a loan sale advisor, without hesitation, First Financial Network is at the top of my list.

FFN’s team is a group of savvy professionals who have a nationwide reach, creating the ability to maximize pricing and execution. Their structured sales process eliminates significant uncertainty from the closings allowing bank professionals to leverage their resources and balance sheet.

Simply put – FFN is the best in the business.
