Property Preservation

Property preservation is a term not commonly known to most people. Property preservation refers to the process of securing, protecting, and preparing properties for sale that have undergone foreclosure, default, or are in bank-owned status. Homeowners may use these same services while preparing for the sale of vacant properties.

Companies Offering Property Preservation

There are many companies that offer property preservation services. These services ensure each property is secure, clear of any hazardous materials and retain the integrity of the home’s interior and exterior for resale purposes. Typically, companies that offer these services are contacted by banks and loan service providers because many foreclosure homes are abandoned, rundown, and damaged. Contractors will then evaluate the vacant home and report any potential damages or issues to the property ensuring the best possible fix to any issues found.

The preservation task list is comprehensive. First, a property preservation specialist will secure a property’s windows and doors. Next, the professional will remove debris and perform regular lawn and tree maintenance. Finally, exterior paint is scraped and repaired. Additionally, it is necessary to secure a property’s pool to prevent death or injuries from drowning and falls. In all, these services include actions like:
