Foreclosure Cleaning Business Owners: Advice from a Banker Who Handles Foreclosed Properties on How to Land Foreclosure Cleaning Jobs

After reading this post (Foreclosure Cleaning Biz Advice: What Are “Assuming Institutions” & How to Make Money from Them), a bank exec who handles foreclosed properties dispensed some really good advice as to what he expects from foreclosure cleaning business owners who approach him for work.

And you know what, most foreclosure cleaning businesses are not giving him what he needs. This means that if you heed his advice, you may be able to land more foreclosure cleaning contracts.

Foreclosure Cleanup Business Advice: What a Bank Exec Who Handles Foreclosed Properties Said

Following are three things this bank exec who handles foreclosed properties looks for from foreclosure cleaning business owners:

Resume (or some type of professional profile)

List of Services and Rates; and

License and Insurance.

He wrote specifically (forgive the typos; it’s the info he dispenses that’s supremely important):

Your number 1 tip [in the aforemetioned post]  is a good one, not a day goes by where i am not bombarded with calls or people who drop in that want to clean my foreclosure listings. I always ask for a business card and a resume. 90% dont have a card and no one ever has a resume with them. So then i ask for a list of what they offer with any assoicated prices, again they are not prepared and last ly i ask are you insured, by then most of tehm are on their way out.

I know that is tough and cold but it is my name on the sign and i am resposnible for anything that goes wront for teh properties i sell and manage for the banks. [emphasis added] I have had people come back though and be prepared and they are no dioing a great job for me. So my keys are be a legitaimate business, be insured and be prepared, have business cards, a resume and literature of what you do.

As he outright states - and I’m paraphrasing — it’s his butt on the line if things are done right. And, he’s not about to risk it by doing business with comapnies that are unprofessional, unlicensed and uninsured, as we’ve discussed time and time and time again on this blog.

So heed his words — and you could start landing more foreclosure cleanup jobs.
