Property Preservation

Our Property Preservation Department provides a full range of field services which can be customized into packages that allow clients to choose the services that best suit their needs. We are continually focused on creating greater efficiencies in our property preservation process, resulting in faster turn times and reduced pre-marketing times for our clients.
In addition, we maintain controls to ensure the highest level of quality is achieved on each property. We employ a multi-tier quality assurance program that focuses on vendors completing work in accordance with American Property Shield standards and client requirements. Our goal is to maintain properties so they appear indistinguishable from owner occupied properties.
