Property preservation after a Georgia vacancy or REO recovery

Once the unit is vacant, the risk shifts from a tenant file to an empty building. Property preservation is the recurring secure-and-maintain work — locks, board-up when needed, inspections, winterization — until the asset turns or sells. EvictIQ runs that field work for recovered rentals and REO. We are not a law firm.

What preservation covers after possession

  • Initial secure: locks, openings, and a condition report
  • Recurring inspections so vacancy does not sit unseen
  • Board-up and winterization when the next night of damage is the risk
  • REO and bank-owned scopes documented for the servicer file

Property Preservation

The full preservation service — vacant, recovered, and bank-owned units kept secure until they turn.

Preservation is not a renovation bid. It is the work that stops the next break-in or frozen line while you decide what the unit becomes.

Questions we hear on this search

When does property preservation start — during the eviction or after?

After the unit is lawfully vacant or we have verified vacancy. We do not treat an occupied house as a preservation job. Occupied files stay on the eviction path.

Do you preserve REO and bank-owned inventory?

Yes. Vacant, REO, foreclosure, and bank-owned scopes are part of the preservation catalog. Servicer documentation is written into the work, not added later as a photo dump.

Is board-up included in property preservation?

Board-up is scoped when an opening will not wait. It is temporary security, not the permanent plan. See board-up services when that is the immediate need.
