• Leader in residential sale leasebacks urges homeowners and leaders to rethink “trapped equity” and build tools that put people first

New York, US, 20th December 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Entrepreneur and advisor Jarred Kessler is calling for a national reset in how Americans think about home equity, financial tools, and community investment. Drawing on his experience building a residential sale leaseback platform and advising companies across finance and technology, Kessler is urging homeowners, policymakers, and business leaders to focus on solutions that give people options instead of more debt.

“Earlier in my career, success was simple. Hit the number, grow the book, lead the league table,” said Kessler. “After the work we did with homeowners, I started to see success in terms of options. If a family has more choices than they did before they met you, that is success.”

The Problem of Trapped Equity

For many households, a home is their largest asset. In the United States, millions of families have most of their wealth tied up in home equity, while at the same time many do not have enough savings to handle a basic emergency. When medical bills, job loss, or rising costs hit, homeowners often face a narrow set of choices: take on more debt, sell and move, or fall behind.

Kessler saw this gap up close while leading the residential sale leaseback company he founded and ran for nearly nine years. The company gave homeowners a way to sell their home, unlock equity, and stay in place as renters, rather than being forced into a rushed sale or high risk loan.

“What pushed me forward was how often I heard the same story,” Kessler explained. “People had equity but were under pressure. They did not want to sell and move. They did not want more debt. They wanted flexibility.”

Under his leadership, the platform grew from a concept into a national operation. It set legal precedents around sale leasebacks, completed acquisitions, raised significant capital, and earned industry recognition from HousingWire, Inman, PropTech Breakthrough, and Inc Magazine. The company also reached hundreds of families who needed another path in moments of stress.

“The reality is that too many homeowners are being left behind or driven deeper into debt by legacy financial solutions,” said Kessler. “The risk of not trying something new was larger than the risk of building a new model.”

Putting People Back at the Center of Finance

Kessler’s call to action is shaped by a career that began on Wall Street. At Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, and Cantor Fitzgerald, he managed large portfolios and led teams, at one point overseeing a global equities business with a balance sheet over one billion dollars and a staff of hundreds.

“The lesson is that systems break when you forget the human on the other side,” he said. “During the credit crisis, you could feel the real cost of those charts. Jobs, homes, and retirement plans were tied to the decisions we made. That awareness stayed with me.”

Today, through Momentum Advisors JBK, Good Group Global, and Mindora.io, Kessler continues to apply that lesson. He helps companies restructure, scale, and manage crises while asking a simple test of every plan: does this help real people in a clear way.

“When I work with a client, I push them to ask, ‘Who lives inside this spreadsheet,’” Kessler noted. “The best strategies respect both the data and the people behind it.”

Why This Matters Now

Economic shocks, rising interest rates, and uneven wage growth have put pressure on homeowners, renters, and local communities. Many families feel squeezed between high housing costs and limited savings. At the same time, neighborhoods facing disinvestment struggle with vacant properties, low quality housing, and fewer opportunities.

Kessler believes that better designed financial tools can help on both fronts. Models that give homeowners flexible ways to use equity, along with programs that turn distressed assets into workforce housing, can reduce stress for families and strengthen communities at the same time.

He has put this belief into action by co founding and advising Rebuilding the Fort and Rehab Warriors, a not for profit that works with banks, municipalities, and institutions to revitalize neighborhoods while creating high earning roles for military veterans in development and construction.

“When you see a veteran move from uncertainty into a skilled career, or a run down block start to turn around, you remember what all the strategy decks are for,” Kessler said. “It is about real neighborhoods and real people.”

What Homeowners and Communities Can Do

Kessler’s message is not only directed at institutions. He wants everyday people to understand their own power and options. Instead of waiting for a crisis, he encourages homeowners to take simple, proactive steps now.

“Most careers and most financial journeys are a series of experiments,” he said. “You do not need a perfect plan. You need better information and the courage to ask hard questions.”

He recommends that homeowners and community members:

• Map their equity and risk: Know how much equity you have, what your monthly costs are, and how long you could cover them in a disruption.

• Learn all the tools, not just loans: Explore options like sale leasebacks, shared equity, and other models that may fit your situation better than traditional debt.

• Challenge providers to be clear: Ask banks, platforms, and advisors to explain products in plain language. If you do not understand the downside, do not sign.

• Talk about money early and often: Share lessons with family, friends, and neighbors. Many people feel alone in financial stress. Honest conversations can surface options and reduce shame.

• Support local and veteran focused programs: Back efforts that turn vacant or distressed properties into safe, stable housing while creating real careers, especially for veterans and underserved groups.

“The most important thing people can do is not wait until they are out of options,” Kessler said. “Ask questions before there is a fire. Look for partners who treat you as a person, not just a file.”

A Call for Human Centered Innovation

Kessler is asking leaders across finance, real estate, and technology to build products that serve this new standard. That means tools that unlock trapped potential in homes, careers, and communities without pushing people into deeper risk. It also means teaching the next generation to see success as more than a number on a screen.

“Many people think success is a straight line,” he said. “In reality, the most valuable skills come from the messy middle. The same is true for systems. We need the courage to update models that no longer work for real life.”

For Jarred Kessler, the path forward is clear. See the hidden value inside people and places. Build structures that support it. Measure success by the choices and stability people gain, not just by short term returns.

“If we can give families more control over their path, and give communities more tools to grow, that is the kind of impact that lasts,” he said. “That is the work worth doing.”

Teckgeekz launches a 2025 Flight API suite integrating GDS (Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport) and NDC protocols. The framework features AI voice agents and carbon tracking, providing sub-millisecond latency and reduced operational costs for global travel agencies.

NEW DELHI, India — Teckgeekz, a premier architect of global travel technology solutions, today announced the launch of its enhanced Flight API Integration suite, specifically engineered to navigate the hyper-fragmented aviation landscape of 2025. By harmonizing legacy Global Distribution Systems (GDS) with emerging New Distribution Capability (NDC) protocols and AI-driven performance layers, Teckgeekz is enabling online travel agencies (OTAs) and corporate travel management companies to achieve sub-millisecond search latency and unprecedented inventory transparency.   

The global aviation distribution ecosystem now processes over ten billion queries daily, shifting from centralized legacy models to a decentralized, API-first retail environment. For modern travel enterprises, the ability to aggregate real-time inventory from diverse suppliers—ranging from flag carriers to ultra-low-cost carriers (LCCs)—is no longer a luxury but the primary determinant of commercial survival.   

The Core of Distribution: GDS Mastering and Regional Optimization

At the structural center of the industry remain the Global Distribution Systems (GDS): Amadeus, Sabre, and Travelport. These platforms function as the essential bridge between airline inventory and digital travel sellers. Teckgeekz’s updated framework provides deep-tier integration for these giants, tailored to their specific regional strengths and technical architectures.

Teckgeekz specializes in the technical orchestration of these systems, particularly for firms requiring the high-performance Amadeus Web Service client, where Teckgeekz has maintained a leading SOAP client library for the global developer community. While Amadeus remains the dominant force in EMEA, Sabre’s “Red App” ecosystem and data-driven insights offer superior results for North American corporate travel. Travelport+, conversely, offers a modernized JSON-based approach that Teckgeekz utilizes for agencies requiring rapid market entry.

Leading the NDC Paradigm Shift: Beyond Legacy EDIFACT

The most significant technological evolution in 2025 is the transition to the New Distribution Capability (NDC). This XML-based standard, developed by IATA, replaces the restrictive EDIFACT protocols that have governed aviation for decades.   

Traditional GDS models pull static, pre-filed fares. In the NDC model supported by Teckgeekz, the airline creates the offer in real-time within its own environment, pushing rich content—images, personalized bundles, and dynamic pricing—directly to the seller.

Teckgeekz manages the complex “Airline Retailing Maturity” (ARM) capabilities required for NDC, supporting up to 13 shopping and five distinct order capabilities. This allows OTAs to display “Branded Fares” and complex ancillaries, ensuring they can compete on content parity with airline-direct websites.

Engineering a High-Performance Multi-Source Aggregator

In 2025, a competitive booking engine must function as a multi-source aggregator, normalizing data from GDS, NDC, and LCC APIs into a single, cohesive user experience. Teckgeekz has engineered a proprietary architectural stack to solve the inherent challenges of fragmentation.   

The Teckgeekz Aggregator Tech Stack

1. The Normalization Layer: This middleware functions as a universal translator, mapping diverse response formats (XML, JSON, SOAP) into a unified internal schema to prevent “data leakage” and ensure accurate fare comparisons.   
2. PNR & Order Management: Managing Passenger Name Records (PNRs) and Transitional Stored Ticket (TST) records across multiple supplier environments is a core Teckgeekz competency, ensuring seamless ticketing and settlement.   
3. Real-Time Validation Engine: To combat the volatility of flight inventory, Teckgeekz implements a pre-payment verification step that validates prices in milliseconds, reducing “outdated inventory” errors.   
4. Secure Authentication Module: The architecture employs OAuth 2.0 and JWT (JSON Web Token) handshakes to securely manage supplier credentials and token lifecycles.

Performance Optimization through Intelligent Caching

High latency is the primary cause of user abandonment in travel portals. To achieve the sub-millisecond speeds required by modern travelers, Teckgeekz utilizes Redis Enterprise for sophisticated, multi-tier caching strategies.   

Strategic Caching Patterns

• Cache-Aside: Reduces database load by checking the cache for popular routes before querying supplier APIs.   
• Adaptive Caching: Uses Redis atomic increments to track query frequency, extending the Time-to-Live (TTL) for “hot” data during peak seasons.
• Tiered TTL: Implements varied expiration times—15 minutes for volatile live fares versus 24 hours for static airport metadata—to balance freshness and performance.   
• Cache Prefetching: Anticipates user behavior by loading the initial pages of search results during low-traffic periods, ensuring an instant user experience.

The 2025-2026 Technological Frontier: AI and Sustainability

Teckgeekz is at the forefront of integrating Generative AI and environmental accountability into the booking lifecycle.   

AI-Activated Booking Engines

The implementation of voice-activated and LLM-powered booking assistants allows travelers to explore complex multi-city itineraries through natural language. Systems integrated by Teckgeekz can process 80% of routine bookings without human intervention, reducing operational support costs by over 60%. These agents use Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) with over 95% accuracy to extract intents and entities from user speech.   

Sustainable Aviation and Carbon Tracking

Sustainability is now a core requirement for corporate ESG compliance. Teckgeekz integrates the ICAO Carbon Emissions Calculator (ICEC) and IATA CO2 Connect APIs to provide pre-flight transparency.

• Chris Hibler of Fresno Leads Resident-Focused Urban Planning With Real-World Results

Fresno, California, 20 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Chris Hibler of Fresno helps cities plan and build public spaces that residents use, trust, and maintain. His projects start with clear goals, rely on community input, and finish with measurable impact. Whether redesigning a downtown corridor, expanding trail access, or improving a small business district, his focus stays on practical delivery and outcomes that last.

Planning often fails when it over-promises and under-delivers. Cities develop bold plans, but implementation lags. Budgets shift. Staff turns over. Residents lose faith. Chris Hibler of Fresno closes this gap with a delivery method that connects engagement, funding, permitting, and construction into a single, trackable process.

He works across California’s Central Valley, where cities face complex needs with limited capacity. His projects include streetscape redesigns, park and trail networks, and housing tied to jobs and transit. Each effort includes budget alignment, grant stacking, phasing, procurement, and maintenance planning from day one. The goal is simple: turn plans into built work.

Resident Input Shapes Project Direction

Chris Hibler of Fresno starts every project by walking the site and listening to residents. His team maps current conditions and brings early concepts to workshops before formal design begins. He uses simple diagrams and visuals to clarify trade-offs and timelines. This keeps the public involved in decision-making without slowing progress.

Alternatives stay grounded in what’s workable. Instead of presenting flashy renderings, his team builds small pilot projects to test safety, usability, and maintenance. Temporary installations offer real feedback and allow changes before full construction. This approach builds trust and leads to more resilient designs.

Planning With a Focus on Follow-Through

Too many projects stall in permitting or fall apart during procurement. Chris Hibler of Fresno treats delivery planning as a core part of urban design. Environmental review, construction phasing, and procurement strategy are built into the early scope. This prevents costly rewrites later.

He also prioritizes maintenance. Material selection, access for upkeep crews, and long-term durability are built into final designs. Cities often overlook this. Chris Hibler of Fresno doesn’t. He knows a park isn’t successful if it falls apart a year after ribbon cutting.

Measurable Outcomes, Not Theoretical Goals

Progress is tracked through outcomes, not paperwork. His approach documents each decision, phase, and adjustment. Teams know where the project stands, what’s next, and how to adjust if needed. This reduces risk and improves communication between agencies, contractors, and community partners.

Chris Hibler of Fresno shares checklists and templates with city teams so they can reuse the process. He supports lean departments that need structure but lack extra staff. His tools make complex projects more manageable.

Supporting Local Capacity in the Central Valley

Working from Fresno, he understands the unique challenges of the region. Central Valley cities often face extreme weather, infrastructure backlogs, and limited grant-writing support. Chris Hibler of Fresno helps cities compete for funding with project scopes that match what teams can deliver and maintain.

His partnerships include public agencies, nonprofits, and private design and construction firms. He works across sectors because coordination is key to delivery. He avoids plans that gather dust and instead focuses on what can be built with current resources.

A Track Record of Trust and Practical Progress

Across all his work, Chris Hibler of Fresno builds confidence in the planning process. Residents see improvements take shape. Agencies finish what they start. Businesses stay open during upgrades. Parks remain usable. Streets feel safer.

Urban planning often centers on vision. Chris Hibler of Fresno centers on results. His process is disciplined, documented, and repeatable. His projects are built for use, not for show. And his goal stays clear: help cities build spaces that work.
