REO

Debris/Trash Removal

We remove all of the property’s interior debris, including that in attics, garages, basements, and outbuildings, and exterior debris in an enclosed structure of the property, such as downed trees and branches, tires, construction materials, bags of garbage, etc. In addition, we remove any heavy machinery, vehicles, and hazardous materials, such as car batteries, oil, household solvents, paint, dead animals, feces, caulks, etc. We dispose of all debris at state approved and regulated landfill facilities.

Initial Cleaning

Our professional cleaning crews, who are trained specifically for this service, vacuum carpets, wet mop all types of floors, remove spiderwebs from the ceilings and corners, clean and sanitize all sinks, toilets, bathtubs, and showers, and wipe down cabinets, countertops, and appliances. We remove dust from window sills and ensure that windows are clean on the inside. Air fresheners are provided in all rooms and any non-working light bulbs are replaced during this initial service.

Winterization/De-Winterization

We perform various types of winterization (dry, hot water, steam, check, etc.) per client guidelines. We drain all plumbing and heating systems completely, and pressure-test systems for possible leaks with an air compressor. We add a non-toxic anti-freeze to all sinks, toilet bowls, drains, and traps to prevent freezing. We post the winterization notice and stickers throughout the home and provide the client with a detailed winterization report. During the de-winterization procedure, we check all valves and fixtures, restore water connections, flush toilets and remove antifreeze, and verify that the hot water heater is operational.

Securing

We secure all entries to the property, including garages, sheds, outbuildings, and swimming pools, by changing and installing locks (deadbolts, padlocks, knob locks, slider locks, etc.) on exterior doors and gates, installing a coded lock box, reglazing or replacing broken windows if necessary, boarding windows and doors according to clients’ guidelines (SecureView or plywood), and posting an emergency contact notice. We ensure that the property is secured properly and all unauthorized access is prevented.

Landscaping

This service includes mowing lawns and removing all lawn clippings, sweeping and cleaning up all paved areas, pruning trees and shrubs, removing weeds and mulching flower beds, and edging curbs and walkways. Upon the client’s request, we redesign the property’s landscape by planting trees, shrubs, and flowers to ensure that the property is maintained to the highest standards.

Safety

We inspect the property and identify any possible safety hazards. Water leaks and damage are addressed by installing a sump pump and dehumidifier. Exposed wires are capped and any open electrical outlets are covered with outlet covers. Broken, uncovered switches are replaced with new switch plates. Handrails and railings are installed according to the local ordinance. Temporary immediate repairs are accomplished by tarping, sealing, or patching areas of the property affected.

Evictions

During an eviction, we will arrange for a local law enforcement official to escort occupants from the property according to the court order, and perform various services, such as changing locks on all doors, securing windows with SecureView, removing occupants’ belongings and trash, and any other services the client requests.

Cash for Keys

Once our client negotiates the Cash for Keys settlement, we take over the process by arranging a date and time with the former occupants to exchange funds for keys, and secure the property immediately thereafter by changing all locks.

Personal Property Storage

According to state law and the sheriff’s written inventory of all items contained in the premises, our team will move the former occupants’ personal property to the nearest storage facility or as directed in the client’s work order.

From simple maintenance tasks to sophisticated building repairs and restoration/renovation projects, we provide competitive bids with comprehensive estimates for all services requested.
