Clear Capital, a provider of real estate valuation and analytics, announced the hiring of two new executive-level members on Feb. 13. Rich Kuegler and Scott Bares will both serve as the company’s directors of customer development.
Rich and Scott will work with all segments of the lending industry, crafting innovative and compliant solutions within a more regulated and scrutinized environment. Clear Capital has invested in progressive valuation products, unique data sources and analytics and a robust technology platform. Rich and Scott will help their industry peers understand how best to utilize these tools within their organizations, while also introducing Clear Capital’s support and client care.
“Clear Capital is excited to welcome Rich and Scott to our team,” said Kevin Marshall, president of Clear Capital. “We continue our tradition of investing in industry savvy, creative team members who are also really nice people. Rich and Scott have not only been longtime, respected industry experts, but they share Clear Capital’s desire to truly make our industry better.”
Since 1996, Kuegler has held executive-level positions in mortgage finance. Most recently, he was senior vice president at DataQuick.
“Rich’s experience and success in strategic planning, product development and business development make him vital to Clear Capital’s growth,” Marshall said.
“Clear Capital’s solutions combine technology, data and analytics with traditional valuations and exceptional levels of service. For years, they have been changing the industry. I’m excited to be a part of this,” Kuegler said.
Bares brings 17 years of experience in the mortgage industry to his new position. Prior to joining Clear Capital, Bares held management positions at GMAC, Wells Fargo, Winmark, and most recently, Lender Processing Services.
“Scott does not believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. His ability to empathize with our customers will ensure he brings the right solution to the table, every time,” Marshall said.
“Clear Capital’s desire to partner with like-minded people dedicated to making our industry better, coupled with its consistent leading-edge solutions and outstanding customer service, makes my job easy,” Bares said.
