Why have you been spending your time on an Unclaimed Property venture?
I’m a problem-solver. I’ve always been motivated to help others solve challenging situations. I see unclaimed property as a ‘problem’ worthy of solution. When people and organizations are separated from their assets, this is a solvable problem. My time, dedication and data-management skills can be ‘of value’ to solve this widespread challenge.
How does unclaimed property wind up at the state treasury?
There are a myriad of reasons that transactions can go awry. When this happens and payments don’t process with pinpoint accuracy, the associated revenue is in jeopardy. If even a small percentage becomes subject to escheat regulations, there will be assets placed at the state as abandoned. Over many years, this accumulates substantially.
Why wouldn’t I just go online myself and find any unclaimed property? I’m sure my organization has a process for doing this.
You seemingly have not done so thoroughly. You can certainly do it yourself, but my company’s resources, data management and comprehensive work ensures a more complete search and recovery process. If you do choose to go through the arduous step-by-step process yourself, please let me know when you have completed the work. It will be good to know that you have benefited from my nudge and I might take the opportunity to find more items and prove my methods as more comprehensive than most.
Why do you have confidence in your results?
With data from multiple states, Northside’s search will be both broad and deep. There are many root causes for assets being unclaimed – among them are misspellings and address errors. Northside’s data management has overcome many of these obstacles to make our success nearly a sure thing. Through involved massaging and filtering of the data, Northside can often find large unclaimed items that would otherwise go undiscovered due to a misspelled owner name and/or missing address.
How can you guarantee a return-on-investment?
Northside does it’s work on contingency. There are no upfront costs nor fixed fee. Northside earns a percentage of what is recovered for you or your organization.
What’s the secret to your success?
Northside’s passion and dedication is fueled by the energy between push and pull. Here’s what I mean. Just as with a website, the information, data and (in this case) unclaimed property is available for the public to peruse. But, lack of time, knowledge, interest or other factors seem to be insurmountable obstacles to millions of people/organizations from repossessing their rightfully owned assets. Instead of needing millions to pull data from the public sources, Northside has massaged the data and is pushing it to the rightful owners with integrity and professionalism guiding the way. Between data aggregation/management and networking, Northside Resolution aims to be successful for years. And, Northside’s success is directly correlated with client success.
Why is the company called Northside Resolution?
The name is a conglomerate of ideas stemming from Jonathan’s last name – Moss. Everyone knows where to find Moss (on the northside of a tree). Everyone knows that Moss and money shares a color (green). And, the skills/personality of the business is driven by resolve and finding resolution. The connotation of ‘true north’ helps us drive our efforts with integrity and belief that there is ‘upside potential’ in all of our work! With great resolve, we work for client success.
