Staying The Course, Property Preservation

By Stephanie Ward


Not all homes and buildings are occupied. For whatever reason, structures can be vacant, maybe they were abandoned, maybe they are newly built and waiting for occupants. Maybe the previous owner could no longer afford the mortgage. But just because the properties have been abandoned does not mean they have to be left to rot. Enter Texas property preservation.

Ownership can be transferred to a lender such as a bank or a government agency for a variety of reasons, the most common being an unpaid mortgage. When such an entity takes possession of any kind of real estate, it must be maintained. However, banks and lending agencies may not necessarily have the manpower or the knowledge to handle maintenance in house. To solve that, an outside company is brought in.

Real estate can be sold off and the aim for most lending agencies is to do so, preferably at r profit. In some cases, a sale can take time to be arranged. Because real estate is a valuable asset, it has to be maintained.

A property preservation company has many tasks and responsibilities. The security of the product in question, the maintenance, and the condition of it are all looked after by it. By using an outside contractor, a lender is able to better focus on its primary industry.

There is money to be made in the industry Many companies are in fact just one self employed person. But the job is far from easy, nor should it be chosen without some forethought as to the responsibilities involved. Like any business or industry, success is often the exclusive domain of a lucky few who work hard.

Buildings have to be secured, just as a fundamentally important step in preservation. Locks should be changed in order to prevent former occupants from entry. Doors and windows should also be boarded up, making the structure in question inaccessible to looters, vandals, and squatters. Squatters in particular should be avoided, as the legal protections they are entitled to can complicate the sale of a property.

Real estate should also be cleaned and maintained. Housework such as cleaning falls under the purview of a preserver, as does gardening and yard work. The state may be situated in the southwest where warmth and sunshine are abundant, but the winters can still be brutal. A preserver should take care that the product in question is adequately secured for the season.

In the event of damage to a structure, a preserver should be ready to make repairs. Major renovations should be avoided, but any and all damage should be taken care of, but the original design should be stuck to as closely as possible. Doing so will keep the value of the building from going down.

As a field, it can be a stable career. For the most part, a small company can survive and even thrive with two or three clients that offer up regular work. A company does a service. A house is not something that can just be thrown away and leaving one to rot would be a waste of a home. The bank can sell the structure in question and then a family can move in and be happy in one. But in the interim, real estate has to be maintained, and there are people and companies that are capable of doing so.
