Company Information

Who We Are
Traditions
In the early 1990’s James Jennings noticed something was missing from the inspection industry. Communication was a major source of friction for customers, and customer service suffered because of this. In 1995, James started Collateral Specialists under the ideal that effective communication with its customers would allow it to become an industry leader in the inspection industry. Today, we’ve grown to operate four support offices located in California, Utah, Texas, and Pennsylvania. We continue to hire and train local professionals and support them with a national level of expertise.

With two decades under our belt, we’ve learned a lot working with our customers. We developed the understanding that continuous procedure modification is necessary to manage risk effectively. Engaging borrowers through our site visits not only builds stronger relationships, but it has also led to the lowest default rates in years. Additionally, we’ve learned that we are all human, our inspection services help catch data entry errors, or they verify that information on file is correct.

Our management team has nearly five decades of experience in the inspection industry, combined with our network of over 700 inspectors, we bring to the table a myriad of experience, skills, and local insight. Many of our employees have been involved in commercial lending, wholesale financing, and retail banking, which allows them to offer a unique perspective on our inspections. Each customer is assigned a dedicated account manager, who offers a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field.

Company History

Historically, we have had great experiences working with self- employed insurance inspectors and loss control consultants. While we utilize W-2 employees, many of our employees work as independents for loss control companies where additional volume and income is needed. .
