What sets us apart is our versatility and commitment to service excellence. In addition to traditional asset recovery, we offer skip tracing, secure storage, transport coordination, and condition reporting, all supported by industry-standard technology and thorough documentation.

We are also proud to offer marine recovery services led by a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Certified Captain. This specialized certification allows us to legally and safely recover vessels from inland and coastal waterways, marinas, and private docks. Whether it’s a small fishing boat or a luxury yacht, you can trust 1st Stop Recovery to handle the job with expert knowledge and the highest level of care. Our Captain brings years of on-the-water experience, ensuring that every marine recovery is performed safely, legally, and with minimal risk to the vessel or surrounding property.

For over 60 years, Falcon International has been recovering collateral in Florida….across the US…and around the world, for America’s Banks, Credit Unions, and Finance Companies. 

1.) Innovative Pre-Recovery processes: We run virtually all assignments through local, state, and internet databases to “mine” for additional information. Through these processes we often produce more current information that you might have on file.

2.) Engaging only the best professional field personnel: The repossession agent in the field (through case-law determinations regarding “vicarious liability”) represents not only our company, but yours as well. We engage only the best in well-trained, well-mannered, yet effecient and effective recovery agents. Our “recovery ratios” are some of the highest in the industry, while minimizing potential problems. Our field personnel are trained investigators, and their efforts often yield new addresses or information that result in recovery.

3.) Exacting Post-Recovery Processes: Many problems in the recovery process are a result of mishandling the personal effects in the vehicle at time of repossession, or haphazard completion of the condition report on the recovered collateral. Falcon International prides itself with its strict and careful handling of the customer’s personal effects, and its attention to details in the condition report. You can be assured that if an item was in the vehicle at the time of recovery, it will be made available to your customer at time of redemption (note: Florida law allows the agency to charge the customer for the inventory and storage of the personal effects). The consumer…your customer….will be treated with courtesy and respect.
