Service Overview

REO Property Preservation for Southeast Missouri properties.

Founded from real property-preservation experience, Smith's Property Services supports banks, investors, asset managers, and property managers with responsive field services and clear documentation.

Every property is different. The written estimate identifies the approved scope, equipment, access requirements, materials, and documentation before the project is scheduled.

Commonly Included

  • Initial and recurring property inspections
  • Occupancy checks and exterior condition reporting
  • Lock changes, securing, and lockbox placement
  • Board-ups and temporary property protection
  • Winterization and de-winterization assignments
  • Mowing, cleanouts, debris removal, and completion photos

Project Planning

A clear scope before equipment arrives.

Send the property address, current conditions, access details, and photos when available. We use that information to select the correct equipment, identify limitations, and prepare a written estimate before scheduling.

Property Review

We review access, terrain, surfaces, debris, utilities, and the requested finished condition.

Correct Equipment

The estimate identifies the mower, tractor attachment, trailer, pressure-washing setup, or hand tools needed.

Documented Scope

Approved work, exclusions, materials, disposal, and optional photo documentation are defined before service.
