FAQ

Questions clients ask

What is property maintenance and preservation?

Property preservation is the work of keeping a vacant, foreclosed or bank-owned home secure, safe and in good condition until it is sold or reoccupied. That includes lock changes, winterization, debris removal, boarding and hazard removal. Property maintenance is the ongoing upkeep that follows: lawn care, cleaning, inspections and repairs that keep the home compliant with code and investor guidelines and ready to sell or rent.

Do you work directly with investors and landlords, or only banks?

Both. We take orders from servicers, national field service companies and asset managers, and also work directly with individual investors, landlords and property managers.

How do you price work?

Routine services use flat or unit pricing (per lock, per cubic yard, per square foot). Anything beyond the original order is bid with photos, and we don't start that work until you approve it.

Can you work in our vendor portal?

Yes. We accept orders and upload photos, bids and invoices in the client's own vendor management system, or by email if you prefer.

What if a property is occupied when you arrive?

We stop, document the occupancy with photos and notes, and report it to you right away. We don't enter or change locks on an occupied property without direction.
