Yes, quotes are available for property preservationists
Property preservation is its own field, and quotes are available specifically for it. If you winterize vacant homes, act as a handyman on foreclosed properties, mow lawns, do basic landscaping, or handle light janitorial work for banks, mortgage servicers, asset management companies, or property preservation companies, general liability, professional liability (E&O), and cyber liability quotes are all available.
What property preservation work involves
Property preservationists keep vacant, foreclosed, and bank-owned properties from deteriorating — and get them ready for sale or re-occupancy. That typically includes:
- Winterizing — draining water lines, shutting off water, and protecting the property from freeze damage.
- Handyman work — repairs, board-ups, lock changes, and general maintenance.
- Lawn maintenance and basic landscaping — mowing, trimming, and keeping the property from looking abandoned.
- Debris removal and trash-outs — clearing a property left in disrepair.
- Light janitorial work — cleaning to prep for a showing, sale, or re-occupancy.
All of this work is performed on vacant properties — not occupied family homes.
Why GL, professional liability, and cyber all matter
General liabilityis the foundation — it's the coverage most property preservation companies and asset managers ask their vendors to carry, and it responds to third-party bodily injury and property damage during your work. Professional liability (E&O) matters because this work is documented — a winterization job or a work order marked complete gets relied on by the servicer. Cyber liability matters because so much of the reporting today happens through vendor portals and mobile apps.
Eligibility
Quotes are generally available whether you're a one-person operation or a crew with employees and 1099 subcontractors. On the quote form, we'll ask about the number of owners active in the business, any employees, and any subcontractors — including how much you pay subcontractors annually, if applicable — so the details are accurate from the start.
Do you also do field inspections?
Some preservationists also perform occupancy and condition inspections for mortgage servicers. That's a closely related but distinct role — see our mortgage field inspector page for the details, and tell us about all the work you do on the quote form.
