Jeff Becker
Jeff and his wife Lyn just relocated to Norfolk in October 2006 from Clearwater Florida. Jeff left his 20 year tenure in the construction industry to focus 110% of his time to real estate investing. In the first two months since arriving in Norfolk, he has been involved in 7 real estate deals. These deals include an assignment, 2 foreclosure workouts, a pre-foreclosure purchase and hold, a rehab/ retail sale, a short sale, and a potential pre-foreclosure wholesale deal. Jeff brings the deals to the table and relies on his wife Lyn’s financial background to determine the most advantageous exit strategy to maximize our return on investment (it’s all about ROI!!!). Jeff is a go-getter and eager to partner up with other TRIG members to close a deal. Jeff and his wife currently own property in Florida, Missouri, Virginia and North Carolina. Jeff can be contacted at 971-7100 or email jbecker@bvinc.us .

Howard P. Keesler
Member -TRIG 2003- Present
Member- Foreclosure Prevention Council of America 2007
Howard Keesler began investing at age 19 with the purchase of an acre of land on Grand Bahama Island. His father a MD broker, Howard became a licensed Realtor by age 20. He also owned and operated a home improvement company in his 20’s, installing mostly siding and trim.
Howard served in the Navy Reserves during the Vietnam Era as a radioman aboard the USS Holland in Spain, servicing the submarine squadron there.
Interested in electro-mechanics and electronics early on (old Ham Radio operators never die, do they?), Howard joined C&P Telephone and retired from Bell Atlantic in MD after 31 years. He moved here to Southside as a project manager for a sub-contractor on VDOT video/communications work, and his team put up hundreds of cameras around the Interstate roads, as well as their computers and video switches in the tunnels. He left that work to pursue full-time real estate investing.
Although Howard has done rehabs, partnerships, and other creative real estate investing, his business focus in 2007 has been on foreclosure solutions for homeowners, whether using short sales, note purchases, or other tools. Partnering with Realtors to secure win-win solutions for homeowners is right up his alley.
Howard and his wife (Dot) have been married 36 years, have two grown kids and three grandsons, and reside in Merrimac Point in Portsmouth.
