Robert B. Schwartz
Mr. Schwartz founded Metro Capital in 1994. He has been involved in virtually every phase of the Accounts Receivable/Payable business for the past 40 years. Well known in the recovery industry, Mr. Schwartz leads Metro Capital’s sales and restructuring operations from the firm’s headquarters in Northern Virginia.
Prior to its current “Balance Sheet Surgery” practice, Metro Capital existed primarily as a marketing organization, representing some of the largest sub-prime mortgage companies, such as Ameriquest. Metro Capital created referral conduits, primarily for debtors requiring cash-out residential refinancing, between these mortgage companies and virtually all the major A.R.M. firms. That many of these debtors/borrowers had obligations in excess of their lendable equity led to the current structure of Metro Capital.
Mr. Schwartz also served as Director of Special Markets (Outsourcing) for Allied Bond, Inc., one of the oldest and most respected A.R.M. companies until its purchase by Outsourcing Services Inc. in 1998.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Schwartz was Director of Financial Computing for Lerner Enterprises, a major Washington DC area real estate development and management firm (and current owner of the Washington Nationals baseball team), and Vice President of Acquisition and Finance for RMS Partners, a Florida based investor/developer of office and multifamily properties.
Mr. Schwartz received his MBA from the Georgetown University Graduate School of Business.
