HUD REO Contractors List & Work Performance Statement (PDF Download)
HUD REO Contractors List & Work Performance Statement (PDF Download)

There are two parts to property preservation. The banks and their servicers handle the phase one securing of the property when it becomes abandoned and before foreclosure. On HUD properties, in phase two, the inspection and property preservation tasks continue as HUD contractors prepare and maintain these HUD REO properties during the 'for sale' marketing process. What you have on HUD properties is two sets of property preservation managers - the bank servicers for pre-foreclosure tasks and the contractors awarded HUD post foreclosure property preservation contracts. As a property preservation specialist, you should cover BOTH phases of the HUD pre-foreclosure securing and post-foreclosure continuing maintenance. You should work to get a part of both sides of the foreclosure.
