Foreclosure & REO Cleanouts

A foreclosure cleanout, also called a foreclosure cleanup, trash-out, or REO cleanout, clears a vacant property of everything the former occupants left behind so it can be secured, repaired, listed, and sold. We do this work for lenders and their asset managers, property preservation companies, listing agents, investors who bought at auction, and attorneys handling a property after a judgment. Our crews work across Brevard, Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin, and Palm Beach counties.

We are a family-operated cleanout company, not a national dispatch network. You call one number, (772) 210-3579, and speak with the people who will walk the property and send the crew. On bank-owned work, the things that slow a file down are usually small: a missing photo, an invoice that does not itemize, or a crew that arrived before access was confirmed.

It is the same careful process we use on an estate cleanout, without the family sorting.

Vehicles, boats, and outbuildings

Foreclosed properties here often come with more than a house. A boat on a trailer in the side yard, a car that has not run in years, a shed full of tools and pool chemicals, a lanai packed with patio furniture. We scope these up front so the quote covers the whole property.

Vehicles, trailers, and vessels carry title and lien questions that a cleanout crew should not guess at, so we ask the client to confirm in writing what may be removed and who has authority before anything leaves the property. For boats, we run a dedicated boat disposal service. Paint, fuel, pool chemicals, and similar items are set aside and handled separately from ordinary debris, since they cannot go in a standard haul.

Lockbox and access coordination

We need a way in before we can start. Most foreclosure and REO jobs give us a lockbox code, a key held by the listing agent, or a scheduled meeting with the agent or a preservation vendor. We confirm access in writing before a crew is dispatched, photograph the property as we find it.

We only work on properties confirmed vacant and cleared for removal by the client. Whether items left behind must be held, noticed, or can be discarded is a question for your counsel and your file, not for a cleanout crew, so we follow your written instructions on what stays and what goes. If a property turns out to be occupied, we stop and call you.

Timelines

A typical house is a one to three day job once the crew is on site. Longer jobs involve fuller properties, more material outside, difficult truck access, or hoarding conditions, which our hoarding cleanup team handles. We give a time estimate with the quote, and if a listing date or lender deadline is tight, we tell you plainly whether the property allows it.

Donation, recycling, and how pricing works

Not everything left in a foreclosure is trash. Usable furniture, housewares, and clothing can be donated where the client allows it, and metal appliances and scrap are recycled where possible. In a heavy trash-out most contents end up as debris, but we divert what we can from the landfill.

Pricing is quoted by volume and labor. The main drivers are how much material is in the house and outside it, crew size and days on site, access such as stairs, distance to the truck, and gated communities, and disposal costs for heavy items like appliances, vehicles, and boats. We do not quote from an address alone, since two houses of the same size can differ by several truckloads. We walk the property, or work from photos and an agent walkthrough, and give a written quote for a defined scope. If scope changes on site, we tell you first.
