John Morris

ABOUT THE EPISODE

After dinner in London, where the clink of glasses echoed tales of ambition and adventure, we continue the intriguing conversation with John Morris, in our latest episode of the Real Estate Lowdown.

John Morris serves as President of First Financial Network (FFN), established in 1989 as the first dedicated loan sale advisory firm in the U.S. and internationally. This former rancher and professional rodeo cowboy now spends his days co-leading loan sales like a $500MM performing loan portfolio sale in Germany on behalf of the FDIC for the failed Silicon Valley Bank.

I just had the pleasure of an incredible conversation with Bliss Morris last month – that’s not to be missed – listen to Breaking Barriers: The Rise and Evolution of Loan Sales in the US.

In this episode John continues to unravel the story behind First Financial Network, a company that not only started and shaped the loan sale advisory industry, but also reflects their vibrant family ethos. John’s tales of family and the intertwining of life with global business ambitions remind us that our professions are never just about the work – they’re about the heartbeats behind them.

Whether it’s their groundbreaking work in the Americas or winding through their journey conducting business across a myriad of countries, this episode is a mosaic of powerful stories that reveal the heartbeat of a company and touch on the personal decision made in the shadows of 9/11 that kept their feet on different flights until their youngest turned 21.

But it’s the spirit of First Financial Network, where a culture of collaboration truly captures the essence of their success. Sharing anecdotes of European escapades and the shared meals that solidify relationships in this industry. So, join us at the table for a conversation that’s as rich and diverse as the global markets John and Bliss navigate with such aplomb.

Pour yourself a glass and settle in as we traverse the world with John, where each handshake and every shared meal deepens bonds and builds the bridges that define the landscape of First Financial Network leading the loan sale industry.
