Property preservation has become more than just routine maintenance and trash-outs. It is central to mitigating risk and loss severity, to protecting our local neighborhoods, to sustaining the value of homes across the country, and to the housing industry's recovery. Whether securing an abandoned home for the winter weather or working in collaboration with city officials to ensure vacant properties don't impact the safety and welfare of local residents, property preservation specialists are on the very front lines of the nation's housing markets each and every day. Property preservation specialists don't just respond to housing's ups and downs—they get out in front of marketplace fluctuations. They don't take a reactive approach to regulations and municipal ordinances that might impact their clients—they become influential participants in the process, educate officials on the dynamics of the market, and guide their industry partners toward compliance. And they don't just support neighborhood stabilization-property preservation specialists lead the charge of revitalizing America's communities.
