Interior inspections are essential for uncovering problems that aren’t visible from the outside. Issues such as mold, roof leaks, and pest infestations often develop out of sight and, if not addressed promptly, can lead to extensive damage and costly repairs. These hidden threats can significantly diminish a property’s value over time.

By identifying problems early, interior inspections help prevent minor issues from becoming major expenses—often allowing for repairs under $1000. Typically conducted on a monthly basis following the initial securing of a vacant property, these inspections are fully aligned with investor and insurance standards to ensure compliance and safeguard the asset.

Exterior inspections offer key observations that help assess the physical condition and occupancy status of a property. These routine visits are especially important for defaulted or at-risk properties, giving servicers a clear picture of any external concerns that may require attention.

During the inspection, field agents determine whether the property appears to be occupied or vacant. They also document any visible exterior issues, including damaged siding, broken windows or doors, overgrown lawns, and unsecured entry points. Inspectors will also take note of posted signs—such as “For Sale” notices, municipal citations, or code enforcement tags—that may indicate changes in status or compliance risks.

These inspections play a vital role in maintaining property value and ensuring timely intervention before minor issues become major liabilities.

These inspections help mortgage servicers connect with borrowers who are behind on payments.

During the process, inspectors make up to three separate outreach attempts on behalf of servicers and lenders. Each attempt is scheduled about 24 hours apart and occurs at different times of the day to maximize the chance of making contact. While performing these outreach efforts, inspectors also conduct an exterior visual check to confirm whether the property appears occupied, in line with investor and insurer guidelines or specific client instructions.

No interior entry is attempted during these visits.
