Vacant Property Solutions: A Solution to the Problems of Vacant Homes!

SEATTLE - April 17, 2014 - PRLog -- The number of vacant homes throughout America has been estimated by RealtyTrac  to number approximately 14.2 million. Banks can at times be at a loss of what to do with them and they are prone to numerous problems from vandalism and looting to even general issues of safety. This is where a company like Vacant Property Solutions comes into the picture.

With corporate offices in Seattle, Vacant Property Solutions  (VPS) aims to be the premier partner for banks, homeowners, and realtors alike in the sale of vacant properties and also with potential home buyers in the eventual acquisition of their own homes.

When asked about the philosophy behind the company, Tom Liotta (Founder of VPS) responded as follows: “The philosophy is simple: help home managers get back into a position to buy a house instead of renting, help homeowners with securing their asset from vandalism while paying for the bills to keep it on the market ,and assisting realtors with keeping the home in a show to sell condition for potential buyers 7 days a week. This truly is a win-win-win situation for everyone involved.”

Vacant Property Solutions is part of an industry that has been around for more than 30 years but at the same time has been a well-kept secret.

“When many people think of vacant houses, it can conjure up many images”, said Shawn McElhinney (VPS’ Director of Operations). “MSNBC did a segment last year on Morning Joe where they discussed the problems in many cities where the number of vacancies are very high and everything from vandalization to people squatting in the property to the vacant houses being looted were occurring: these are only some of the problems that can come from having a vacant property. And they can be a headache for listing agents looking to sell them as well.

Our goal at Vacant Property Solutions is to help in the management and sale of these properties with the unique tools and services we can provide to banks, homeowners, and real estate agents who find themselves with a vacant home on their hands.”

Vacant Property Solutions provides staging furniture to give the home a lived in appeal. They also pay for utilities to keep the water, lights, and heat on as well as for the upkeep of the yard so that realtors can show the best qualities of the property to prospective buyers..

The use of onsite home managers provides eyes and ears to secure the property from vandalism. And finally, if anything were to go wrong with the home, the combination of an onsite home manager as well as VPS’ home warranty coverage on the property ensures that these matters would be promptly tended to.
