<p>That's very interesting. </p>
<p>I think these notices should be banned by local ordinance. </p>
<p>They are such a bad idea, but I'm shocked that the banks don't understand that too.</p>

<p>Agreed they do have the right to protect the property but that is if the property is at risk such as abandoned. </p>
<p> In fact that's one of the things the rep stated to me which I forgot to mention. So I told her the property is NOT abandoned which she stated she would note in the record so their preservation company would be notified.</p>

<p>One thing many of us forget is that the lender has the right to protect the property - it's clearly spelled out in the Deed of Trust / Note. That's why they are doing it.</p>

<p>Wow! I thought I was the only one that felt this way. I have a property that has been approved to do a short sale (and in fact have an offer under review since February which more than meets their minimum net still no answer) however, I had the very same experience last week went to check on the property and lo and behold there is this vacancy notice on the door PLUS they would be rekeying the property changing locks etc.. I called BOFA about it and asked why in the world did you people…</p>

I called BOFA about it and asked why in the world did you people place a vacany notice on the door? Do you want the property to be vandalized? The rep said it is our policy to check on our properties and to place notice when it's vacant. I told her it's not your property furthermore the seller is participating in your FHA short sale and the seller does continue to maintain the property what is your problem? I also asked what is this nonsense about changing the locks? She then said well if you are uncomfortable with the notice you can take it off. Ok will do and when can we expect a response to our Short Sale offer submitted more than 2 months ago..... ..Oh this is a different department we are property preservation and we don't have access to that information. My comment was 'oh so your departments don't communicate?'

<p>It's kind of creepy, especially since there isn't even a Notice of Default filed on the property.</p>
<p>I wish I could catch them doing it, so I could heckle them and rip the notice off while they were watching.... it would bring me a little satisfaction at least. :-)</p>

<p>Well I guess you should be happy just to have a key. Nevermind that the bank now has a key to the house, and you really can't control who has access.</p>
<p>What happens if someone then vandalizes the home or removes fixtures without any sign of forced entry? Who is responsible for that once the locks are changed and a 3rd party now has a key to the home?</p>

<p>I agree - posting anything on a house is not good but sometimes it's the only way to combat an aggressive REO Broker. I don't "manage" any properties either unless it's my listing and of course we all manage our own listings. Remember, it's typically a local REO agent that has been assigned the property long before it is vacated or foreclosed and they are hovering over that property just waiting for activity so they can grab it.

<p>Hi Joe,</p>
<p>I love your examples. And, yes these postings make no sense, they cause more problems.</p>
<p>Changing locks before they take the property back is just ridiculous -- I thought the signs were bad -- but I guess it gets worse.</p>

<p>Hi Thom -</p>
<p>The property is vacant and I don't manage any properties.... so that won't work for me though. </p>
<p>And, I just think posting anything on a home is a red flag that it is vacant. Most people don't leave notices posted on their houses. I also thought the speed of the tagging was lightning quick here. </p>
<p>They moved out that morning!</p>
<p>Good advice though and probably will help where folks are getting locked out of their own properties. I haven't experienced that…</p>
