Maxim Enterprises is on the leading edge of technology when it comes to caring for your most important investments. We were all made extremely aware of where our homes line up in our investment portfolios last year when the bottom fell out of the market. The most significant investment that the majority of people make in their lifetime is the purchase of their main residence. When buying, selling, leasing, or managing a property there are many factors that come into play, and this is where Maxim Enterprises can be of a great service to you. Every time a piece of property changes ownership, or is transformed into another type of property there are numerous variables to consider.
Many insurance companies have special exemptions inserted into policies so that they aren’t held liable for vandalism if a property is vacant. When you combine that with the fact that a building left vacant over a period of time will accelerate in its progression of deterioration; it only makes sense to increase the stability, cleanliness, value, and security of a property that you may have in a transition process.
Property preservation is the primary concern of Maxim Enterprises and through the integrated use of multiple competent local contractors they are capable of taking on any number of properties that you may have and overseeing any and all problems that may arise from lawn maintenance, to the handling of eviction notices, or cleaning and removal of any and all substances including hazardous materials.
Not only does Maxim Enterprises strive to be their best at preserving your property, they go the extra mile when it comes to contractor consulting; they train each and every contractor for the specific needs of each client. Your best interest is at the heart of every decision that they make, and this is the reason that contractors have to become certified in what ever field they specialize in. Maxim does this so that once they are on the job; you know that your investment is safe.
Remember the next time that you need to have the secure feeling of knowing that someone is watching out for your interest while you are reequired to be elsewhere for what ever reason; Maxim Enterprises is there for you taking out the trash, or keeping the trash out what ever the case may be. Preserving your property is our business.

Property preservation is about preparing foreclosed properties for sale. This can also include properties that have undergone default and properties that are in bank-owned status. Homeowners who are faced with having to give up their homes are unhappy, and usually the properties are not cared for therefore the homes are left in deplorable conditions.
When properties are left in terrible conditions the banks that own these homes must reconditioned the properties and place them on the market for sale. And this is where property preservation companies come into play. A good property preservation company, such as Maxim Enterprises would be contacted by the banks to get their property in tip-top shape.
The services offered by property preservation companies typically include services in eight separate areas: Securing the property, Removing debris, Winterization, Lawn maintenance, Janitorial, Maintaining the pool, Removal of snow and Photographs.
Securing the property has to deal with making sure the locks are changed out, and usually a lockbox will be installed along with an assign code. Keys are secured in the lockbox to provide access into the home for third parties. Windows, side doors and front and back doors are boarded up as part of securing the property as well, and swimming pool areas can also be secured.
The removal of debris involves the removal of any personal property, debris, hazard material and car removal. Personal property will more than likely be stored in a storage facility up to 90 days depending on the lender’s requirements. Debris is disposed of based on the insurer/client/lender instructions, and since lenders usually charge based on how much debris is collected the debris is counted in cubic yards. Also hazard material must be removed, and it’s removed according to the client/insurer/lender instructions. Another removal that can be necessary is car removal, and this is of course based on the lender/client/insurer instructions as well.
Another service that property preservation companies do is winterization. Winterization is all about preparing a property for winter, which basically involves the sealing and draining of pipes to prevent water from freezing. If the sealing and draining isn’t done properly the pipes could burst. Also the electricity and gas should be shut off for the water heater and boiler. In fact all heating and plumbing systems should definitely be drained.
The lawn care must be kept up, as well as general janitorial duties around the property. Maintaining the pool should be done by draining the pool, cleaning it and refilling it with fresh water. Snow removal is removed usually by the orders of the insurer/client/lender. And lastly before and after photographs should be taken of all services, and submitted to the insurer/client/lender. Usually the photos aren’t required until all of the services have been completed by the property preservation company, such as Maxim Enterprises.
Property preservation companies are becoming more and more important, and because of the increase of foreclosures due to the economy – property preservation services appear to be a service that will always be in demand.
