What bank-owned property services are

Bank-owned (REO) services are the field tasks an asset manager orders: inspect, secure, report, and sometimes trash-out or make-ready. They are not a loan modification desk.

Bank-owned property services are the inspection, securing, reporting, and limited turn work asset managers order on lender-owned vacant properties. They are not foreclosure representation and not a national crew network we pretend to staff.

Key facts

  • Lifecycle stage: Preservation / REO.
  • EvictIQ field operations: Georgia (metro Atlanta). We do not operate field crews in every state.
  • Exact claims only: 10,000+ completed evictions; 72-hour service of tenant after filing on average (Georgia service).
  • Not a law firm. Not legal advice. No date guarantees. No price list on this page.

What this service is

The search is “bank owned property services” because servicers issue work orders that way. The work is still vacant-asset care: is anyone there, is it secure, what does it look like, what is the next bid.

Pricing is not published here. Scope is written per asset. Georgia we can discuss. Other states we educate and route. EvictIQ is not a bank and not a law firm.

When this step is needed

You need bank-owned property services when a servicer or asset manager issues field work on a lender-owned vacant asset — first look, secure, or a sitting-asset cadence.

You do not need this page to list a house or modify a loan. Those are other professions.

How the process usually works

  1. Confirm who can authorize access.
  2. Complete the initial occupancy and condition report.
  3. Secure and rekey only after vacancy is confirmed.
  4. Recur if the asset will sit.
  5. Bid trash-out or turn as a separate written scope.

Courts and executing offices set their own calendars. These are operational steps, not a guaranteed timeline.

What this step usually covers

  • Initial occupancy and condition report
  • Securing and lock changes when vacancy is confirmed
  • Recurring inspections if the asset sits
  • Trash-out or turn only when separately scoped

These are the jobs the step exists to do. They are not a nationwide menu EvictIQ staffs in every county.

What you must verify locally

  • Who the servicer of record is and what their photo spec is
  • Access: keys, lockbox, or a break-and-secure order
  • Local registration of vacant bank-owned property

We do not publish a stale per-state timetable. Statutes change.

What this does not include

  • Legal advice, courtroom representation, or an attorney-client relationship
  • A guaranteed hearing date, writ date, or setout date — courts and executing offices set their own calendars
  • Self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, or removal of belongings outside a court-issued writ
  • A published price. Scope and price are written after intake, before work starts
State law controls. Eviction law is state law, and notice periods, forms, courts and timelines differ in every state — sometimes county to county within a state. This page explains how the process generally works. It is not legal advice and it is not a substitute for your state's actual rules.
Working a real case right now?

Georgia we can handle. Elsewhere we route.

If the property is in Georgia, EvictIQ can take this step end to end. If it isn't, we'll tell you what to look for in a local attorney or service — we do not operate field crews in every state.

Common questions

Can you list the house for sale?

No. This is field preservation and turn support, not brokerage.

Do you cover every state a bank might own in?

No. We do not operate field crews in every state. Honest intake, then Georgia or a local vendor.

Need help with this step?

Tell us where the property is and where the case stands. Georgia we handle; elsewhere we route.

If the property is in Georgia
If it isn't

We'll tell you so rather than take the lead. What to look for locally: a provider who knows which office executes writs in your county, who gives you cycle-time variance rather than an average, and who refuses to guarantee a completion date.

Working a real case?

Georgia we handle end to end. Anywhere else, we'll tell you what to look for in a local provider.
