I am tired of the lenders sending asset management companies to winterize, change the locks, mow the grass- when the owners are keeping up the property but in the process of moving out because approval is taking so long. Some lawn company called me about mowing the grass when it was under 2 inches of snow!! They call and harass me and call the neighbors to see if everyone's stories match up. You would this this was some undercover espionage plan.
These companies make money by doing these things and are very aggressive and can somewhat threatening. They wanted me to sign something stating that I would then (since I said stay away) accept the responsibility if something happened to the home. They wanted to change the locks for that call and said-"what would happen if a window got broken"? I asked how changing the locks would prevent that- they hung up!
