REO Asset Management & Disposition Services

REMAX Empire Properties provides professional REO asset management and disposition services throughout Southern California for banks, mortgage servicers, hedge funds, private equity firms, institutional investors, government agencies, bankruptcy trustees, receivers, and hard money lenders.

Chris and Andrea Murray have extensive experience managing and selling distressed real estate assets throughout Southern California. Their experience includes REO and bank owned properties, HUD homes, reverse mortgage properties after they have reverted to lender ownership, bankruptcy court sales, and properties sold under the direction of the U.S. Marshals Service.

They have represented banks, mortgage servicers, government agencies, and asset managers in the disposition of distressed real estate, including Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, Citi, U.S. Bank, Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, Mr. Cooper, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and HUD. They have also worked with trustees, attorneys, bankruptcy trustees, court appointed representatives, preservation companies, and vendors on a wide range of complex real estate transactions.

From occupancy verification through closing, our goal is to protect asset value, reduce holding time, maximize market exposure, and provide consistent communication throughout every stage of the disposition process.

REO Asset Management Services

Managing an REO property involves much more than listing it for sale

Every asset has its own occupancy status, preservation needs, repair requirements, reporting standards, and disposition timeline. Our systems have been developed through years of working with institutional clients that require accurate reporting, timely communication, and consistent execution.

Whether a property is occupied, vacant, recently acquired through foreclosure, or requires significant repairs before marketing, we coordinate every stage of the disposition process.

Property Preservation & Vendor Coordination

Every property is different.

Some assets require only a lock change and professional photography before listing. Others require debris removal, landscaping, utility activation, repairs, preservation work, code compliance, or complete property clean-outs before they're ready for the market.

We coordinate trusted vendors throughout Southern California, including:

• Property preservation

• Occupancy inspections

• Cash for Keys coordination

• Locksmith services

• Debris removal

• Estate clean-outs

• Junk removal

• Landscaping

• Pool service

• Utility coordination

• Repair estimates

• Licensed contractors

• Professional cleaning

• Photography

• Drone photography and video

• Matterport 3D tours

• 24/7 Video Security Monitoring

Our goal is to minimize delays while preparing each property for maximum market exposure.

Marketing & Disposition

Every REO asset receives a marketing plan based on the property's condition, location, price range, and likely buyer.

Depending on the property, marketing may include professional photography, aerial drone photography and video, Matterport 3D tours, floor plans, MLS exposure, social media marketing, property websites, and distribution across the major real estate websites where buyers are searching.

Throughout the listing period we provide ongoing communication, buyer feedback, market updates, offer analysis, repair recommendations when appropriate, and disposition strategies designed to maximize the property's market value.

Institutional Reporting

Institutional clients expect more than marketing.

They expect communication.

We understand the importance of timely occupancy updates, weekly reporting, repair recommendations, preservation coordination, vendor communication, offer negotiation, escrow management, and accurate documentation throughout the disposition process.

Whether working with banks, mortgage servicers, hedge funds, private equity firms, or government agencies, we understand that every asset represents part of a much larger portfolio and every deadline matters
