In the real estate world, distressed properties are often homes that are vacant due to notice of foreclosure causing the homeowner to leave the property.  Property preservation is the work done on these properties to keep them appropriately maintained in the neighborhood.  Services include lawn maintenance, winterization, boarding of broken windows and doors, lock replacement and other contractor work.   Keeping the property maintained not only keeps the neighborhood looking nice, but also helps expedite the process of getting the home back on the market and sold.    

Oregon Premier Properties, a contractor service in conjunction with Bend Premier Properties, works closely with banks to maintain and resell these distressed properties.  Contact Dan Cardot directly at Bend Premier Real Estate if you are interested in the purchase of distressed property.
