Foreclosure Assistance!

In today’s lending environment, loss mitigation is critical. Yeoman Group has found it very helpful to sit with the workout personnel to pre-screen commercial properties that the lender may have to foreclose upon. Early environmental advice can ease the bank’s burden and avoid costly mistakes. We offer this service at no fee. While we have begun contacting clients to set up a time to meet, please call our main office (248) 349-8363 if you would like to take advantage of this offer now.

New Article Available

Unfortunately too many banks have been forced to look at foreclosing on current loans.  Important information to consider when looking at foreclosure has been outlined in our newest article. Please see "Foreclosure Timing".


“In the technically complex and critically important issues that arise related to environmental aspects of real estate lending I believe that it is imperative to have the support of a firm that is first and foremost responsive, and  that has the broad and diverse expertise to handle the wide range of issues that can arise.  Yeoman Group has consistently demonstrated both to me. Beyond that though, and a traits that are far less common, are Yeoman Group’s ability to clearly convey the concepts that are related to each matter, develop options to meet the Bank’s needs, and their clear understanding of the business implications of the environmental work that they do. These are the traits that I believe set Yeoman Group apart.”

About Yeoman Group

Yeoman Group is an environmental consulting firm that was created in conjunction with the Michigan Bankers Association in order to provide lenders with environmental risk management services, allowing them to avoid the overhead of an in-house environmental staff.  Yeoman Group combines all of the professionals needed to adequately address environmental questions, and we make this advice available on an as-needed, loan-by-loan basis.  Yeoman Group also performs all environmental due diligence assessments, Phase II on-site geologic services, makes complete purchase or lending recommendations and, in our relationship with an environmental law firm, seamlessly and cost-effectively obtains answers to environmental and real estate law questions.

Yeoman Group's professionals can quickly evaluate the environmental status of real property and offer solutions for property purchasers, as well as for lenders who may take the property as collateral for a loan.

While Yeoman Group’s history is deeply rooted in its relationships with commercial lenders, we have expanded our environmental service offering to commercial property developers and purchasers.  Our goal is to protect all parties involved in commercial property transactions.

What’s in the name? Tracing back over 1,000 years to merry old England, the Yeoman has served his client faithfully and with excellence.  Still today, to do a "Yeoman’s job" is one of the highest compliments that can be paid to an individual.
