Why DPI

The Team

A full crew behind every property.

DPI isn't a one-truck operation. Led by Laron Hodges, our trained field agents, inspectors, and cleanout crews are dispatched across all nine Bay Area counties — so multiple properties get serviced the same day, not queued behind one schedule.

Meet The Man Behind DPI

Boots on the ground since 2004.

DPI isn't a call center — and it isn't a one-truck operation either. Laron leads a full field team: a California real estate professional with 20+ years of hands-on Bay Area experience across loss mitigation, BPOs, foreclosures, REO dispositions, property preservation, and borrower outreach.

Two decades of Bay Area market cycles — including the 2008 foreclosure wave — means our team has seen every scenario a distressed asset can throw at a lender. Servicers and asset managers trust us because we protect collateral like it's our own and move files with the urgency a portfolio demands.
