Cleaning up the housing boom’s trash
Posted on October 20, 2009 at 7:57 am
Middle Tennessee is now home to a REO ResQ franchise that will help lenders preserve the value of properties they’ve taken onto their books. Agent Carl Longmire will run the business.
“As a new huge tidal wave of foreclosures hits the market, lenders will be looking for reliable property preservation companies that specialize in re-keying, debris removal, lawn maintenance, etc.” remarked Frank Patrick. “Keeping these REO properties in good shape and maintaining their value will be a top priority for the lenders. This is the perfect time for a trash out business in Nashville and across the country.”
