It is with great pride and appreciation that the staff at Safeguard Properties congratulates our company's founder and CEO Robert Klein for his nomination for the 2006 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.  We are proud of the fact that Robert has become a mortgage field servicing leader, giving our company its reputation for advancements in technology, improvements in procedures, and excellence in customer satisfaction.  We have been instilled with Robert's focus on resolving our clients' issues through open communications among all members of the servicing industry:  lenders, investors, code enforcement officials, field services contractors, and government regulators at all levels.
 
After sixteen years, beginning with two employees in a basement office in Cleveland, Robert and the team he has built have created a comprehensive real estate field services company.  Our current staff of more than 400 employees and hundreds of contractors are now capable to meet the needs of mortgage lenders and other clients nation-wide, providing the highest quality of property maintenance and care.  All of us believe Robert deserves this honor because of his dedication to our company and tireless commitment to our industry. 
 
We want to express our appreciation to Ernst & Young for recognizing Robert Klein and his leadership of an organization and industry we are all very proud to serve.
