Frank Patrick, founder of field service company and property preservation franchise REO RESQ™, writes how property preservation professionals and mortgage field service companies can help fix American neighborhoods. 

Scottsdale, Ariz. – May 6, 2010 – In a recent blog post by Frank Patrick, one of the country’s top property preservation and trashout experts, Frank discusses how foreclosed and abandoned homes are causing neighborhoods across the country are losing value, even among those homeowners who have been paying their mortgages on time.  In the blog titled “Property Preservation Trashouts: Fixing The Face of Foreclosure,” Frank describes how it’s time to put property preservation professionals and mortgage field service companies on the job to perform trashouts and necessary repairs as soon as possible to clean up the face of foreclosure. 

“2010 is going to be a very challenging year – because the incredible numbers of homes that will require property preservation services and foreclosure trashouts will undoubtedly break more records. The amount of work is going to be overwhelming. But it’s necessary.  It’s time to face the face of foreclosure. And bring pride back to the American neighborhoods that have been negatively affected by the housing crisis,” wrote Frank Patrick.  

“Because the foreclosure process was traditionally slow and cumbersome – and totally unequipped to handle the massive amount it’s been forced to digest during the Great Recession – more and more vacant homes in more and more neighborhoods have become more and more rundown and in desperate need of a trashout.” Frank continued. 

Frank’s nationwide franchise, REORESQ™, is helping entrepreneurs all across the country start up and successfully operate property preservation franchises.  Frank believes that 2010 will provide incredible opportunities for field service companies, property preservation contractors, and trash out businesses.

In addition to being the founder of the property preservation franchise REO RESQ™, Frank Patrick is also the founder of American Society of REO Specialists™ (ASREOS). Patrick was recently featured in Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today for his expertise and success in the REO Sales and REO agent training industry.
