Property Preservation

Property Preservation protects and preserves vacant properties, preventing neighborhood blight and keeping communities safe.

Securing Assets and Stabilizing Communities

Property Preservation is the front line of defense against neighborhood blight and asset depreciation. When a property becomes vacant during the foreclosure process, it becomes a liability for the servicer and a concern for the community. Brookstone Management Property Preservation division is dedicated to protecting and preserving these assets, ensuring they remain safe, secure, and in conveyance condition according to investor guidelines.

Immediate Stabilization and Securing

The moment a property is confirmed vacant, the clock begins to tick. Brookstone moves with urgency to perform initial securing and lock changes. This process is about more than just a key; it is about establishing control of the asset to prevent unauthorized entry, squatting, and vandalism. Our crews install high-security lockboxes and boarding as needed, ensuring the property is sealed against both human and environmental threats.

Comprehensive Environmental Maintenance

A vacant property must be maintained as if it were occupied to prevent it from becoming a target for municipal violations or a source of community frustration. Our preservation services include debris and hazard removal where we clear the property of interior and exterior waste. This includes hazardous materials that could pose a fire or health risk. We also handle lawn maintenance and snow removal. We maintain the property's curb appeal, ensuring it adheres to local ordinances and remains a cohesive part of the neighborhood. In colder climates, we perform precision winterizations. This involves draining lines and utilizing air pressure to ensure that no water remains to cause pipe bursts. We also address one of the most significant liabilities on any property by securing pools with professional grade covers and fencing.

The No Property Left Behind Philosophy

Our approach to preservation is defined by our No Property Left Behind pledge. We do not just perform the minimum requirements; we take a hands-on approach to ensure the property's long term viability. By maintaining strict compliance with all jurisdictions and investor guidelines, we reduce the risk of reconveyance and financial penalties for our clients. Our integrated technology solutions provide real-time updates and before, during, and after documentation, giving our clients total transparency. By shortening timescales and reducing costs through efficient task-driven workflows, Brookstone ensures that every property is preserved for its eventual return to the market. We act as a steward for the asset, protecting the lender collateral while supporting the health and safety of the surrounding community.
