Pay-for-performance compensation for real estate groups of commercial banks

Article Abstract:

The real estate divisions of commercial banks had to go from originating loans to foreclosures and workouts following the collapse of the real estate market in the late 1980s. This follows the bumper years of the early-and-mid 1980s when business was so strong that real estate groups of commercial banks were generating huge volumes of loans that in turn led to record profits for the banks. An indicator of tough times is that many banks are still trying to sell off foreclosed properties.
