I had a request from a listing agent to shoot a couple of photos indicating interior condition on a new property that was coming up. It had already been rekeyed, but the combos that I was given didn't work. Lo and behold, a large Penske truck rolls up with the trashout guys from the large national firm that the bank hired (who had driven from 3 hours away, no less). They had the correct code, and let me in. But the former owners had removed ALL of their personal belongings, cleaned the kitchen and bath, AND vacuumed the floors! I don't think I ever saw that before.
Will the bank pay that company the same for NO personal belongings as they would for a house full of junk? It seems that if the house had already been winterized (it was), then the lender already had a decent handle on what shape the interior was in...

If it's a legit company, they will take pics and receive a trip charge, Then do a couple trashouts on the way back home.(if they routed themselves right).................I dated a AM a couple years ago(now a realtor) who had one company who would take trash from one house and use it for a couple more trashouts..........she said it took them about 6 months to find out......something about the same yellow hat keep showing up in all the pics............lol

Just going thru the forum and reading things I haven't read before and this make me think about an order we had last week. Another company bid to remove limbs from the storm damage with a cost of $600.00 and we were given the job to remove the limbs. When we got there it was nothing like the prior bid noted. It took us 2 hours to get everything clean up for less than half the fee that was quoted.
