- REO properties are, for most cases, quite different than the ordinary occupied house. They have usually been unoccupied for several weeks to several months or longer. Nature has started to reclaim it and has sent all the insects in to perform that task. Most of the locks haven't been used in a very long time and are often difficult to rekey. Many times, another agent has already sent in someone to gain access and provide an access to other people. In such cases, it is common to find many or most of the locks destroyed or rendered useless in the process. If locks are missing and/or damaged, we will try to make use of any existing locks from other rooms in the house. If needed, we supply locks for purposes of securing the property and is covered in the flat rate. It is common for windows and doors not to close properly. Sometimes windows and /or doors are broken or missing, or simply don't fit for various reasons
- Fannie Mae requires all locks to keyed to a Kwikset keyway. My price includes that. There are some exceptions. There are some locks that cannot be converted or replaced due to the Association's rules and regulations where the house is located. Most of these types of housings are in condominium developments. Other exceptions would include locks such as Emtek and Baldwin. Also, the Euro-profile type locks found in some homes. All these exceptions will be keyed to the Fannie Mae key code, but will be the Schlage keyway.
- Our task is to secure the property to prevent previous occupants and other people from gaining access or to prevent them from locking out the agents that have been assigned the task of trying to sell the property. This includes securing the pool area, if there is one.
- In many cases, the existing conditions prevent the ability to secure a door or window. In these cases, we will do whatever we can to secure them, short of performing some carpentry work or similar work. If necessary, we will drill a new hole on the door where there isn't so much damage, and relocate the lock.
- Even if you have deemed the subject property vacant, we approach the property as though it is occupied. We will verify vacancy before gaining access to the property. If the property is occupied, we will inform you of the situation and charge you only the service charge shown above.
