REO & Property Preservation Services in San Antonio
For banks, lenders, asset managers, realtors, and property managers handling bank-owned (REO) and foreclosed properties. One local contractor to secure it, clean it, preserve it, and get it ready — with photos and written updates you can file.
Secure & preserve
Securing, lock changes, boarding as needed, winterization, and ongoing preservation checks — as needed and per code / per client instructions.
Trash outs & cleanouts
Full trash outs, debris removal, and interior cleanouts so the property can be assessed, listed, and shown.
Make-ready & repairs
Grounds care, make-ready repairs, emergency repairs, and trade work to bring a vacant property back to market-ready condition.
Work is performed as needed, as directed, and per code / per client instructions, with descriptions kept to the scope actually authorized. One address or a whole portfolio — the process is the same: work order in, scope confirmed, photos before, during, and after, then a written update and one invoice. One point of contact the whole way.
REO inspections — electrical · HVAC · plumbing · roofing
Condition inspections for REO and bank-owned properties, built for the file: each system checked, photographed, and reported in writing for asset managers, banks, and servicers — so preservation, valuation, listing, and repair decisions start from documented condition, not guesswork.
Electrical
Panel, service, and visible wiring condition — documented as observed, as needed per scope.
HVAC
System presence, age/condition as observed, and whether it operates at time of inspection.
Plumbing
Fixtures, visible supply/drain condition, leaks, and winterization status.
Roofing
Roof covering, visible damage, and leak evidence — photographed from accessible vantage points.
Deliverable: photo documentation + a written condition report per property. Inspections describe condition as observed; they are not engineering certifications.
Winterization for vacant & REO properties
Vacant properties are the ones a hard freeze hurts most — nobody’s home to hear a pipe burst. We winterize vacant and REO homes across San Antonio, quoted by scope: the plumbing system drained down, antifreeze in the traps, and the completed work photo-documented for your file. (Homeowners: the same service is running as a $250 residential special.)
Broker services — get it on the market
Preservation protects the asset; a broker turns it into a sale. A licensed Texas broker with over 30 years of experience is available through RI to manage all of your assets and properties end to end — property management, market analysis, BPOs (broker price opinions), pricing, and getting the property listed and on the market. From the first lock change to the closing table, one call covers it.
