Securing Properties
Once an inspection determines that a property is vacant, MBFS takes steps to protect it. A contractor will secure the property and perform a lock change according to investor or insurer guidelines.
We conduct a thorough inspection, confirm that the property is vacant and then change the exterior locks. Broken windows are boarded, doors are repaired or boarded, pools and other potential hazards are taken care of and the property is thoroughly secured in accordance with investor, insurer and client guidelines. Applicable and final reports are generated with supporting documentation, photos and details.
Debris Removal
Interior and exterior debris that creates a potential health, safety or infestation risk, or that may result in a code violation, is routinely removed from properties, both pre- and post-foreclosure. Once a property has gone through foreclosure, all debris inside and out, hazardous and non-hazardous will be removed.
Interior debris is removed per investor guidelines, and exterior debris is taken to a licensed dumping facility. Personal items left in the property remain until clients provide specific instructions or a personal property eviction is ordered, generally once the property has moved through foreclosure.
Lawn Maintenance
Whether a vacant property is in pre- or post-foreclosure status, it must be well-maintained so that it does not detract from the neighborhood, create a public nuisance, or draw a code violation.
MBFS contractors follow FHA regulations, generally cutting grass every two weeks in season, beginning in April in most states. Shrubs are trimmed once per season, and more frequently at the client's request. All lawn maintenance is performed according to client instructions and investor guidelines. During lawn maintenance, properties are also checked to assure that they are secure.
Winterization
In cold climates, vacant properties are vulnerable to costly and serious damages from frozen and burst water lines. MBFS winterizes all plumbing fixtures, inside and outside a home, including sinks and toilets, outdoor spigots, and dry, steam and radiant heat systems.
Contractors drain all water lines and use air compressors to assure that all water is blown out of the lines. Contractors also drain hot water tanks and pressure-test the system for possible leaks. Toilets are cleaned and flushed, and antifreeze is added to bowls and tanks. Antifreeze is poured into sink drains and traps.
Hazard Claims
Hazard insurance protects a property owner against damages caused by natural events, as well as theft and/or vandalism to their property. Once the property owner's claim is approved, they should receive compensation to repair or replace the damages incurred.
All projects are performed in a timely and professional
manner, facilitating the repairs as required by our clients, their insurance adjusters and insurance providers.
We provide our clients with quality services which continually improve the surrounding communities.
