Property Preservation Services

What Is Property Preservation?

Property preservation is the comprehensive maintenance, securing, and protection of vacant or bank-owned real estate. When a property becomes vacant — whether through foreclosure, abandonment, eviction, or transition between owners — it must be secured and maintained to prevent deterioration, code violations, and liability. Property preservation encompasses initial securing (lock changes, board-ups), winterization of vulnerable systems, ongoing lawn and exterior maintenance, interior debris removal, and regular inspections with photo documentation. For lenders, loan servicers, and institutional real estate owners, property preservation is not optional — FHA, VA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac all require specific preservation standards to protect collateral value and comply with investor guidelines.

Property Preservation Cost Factors
