Why Remote REO Management Doesn't Work in Alaska

Many asset managers rely on national firms that outsource property preservation. That might work in other states, but in Alaska, local boots-on-the-ground knowledge is the only way to ensure proper care.

Barbara's Perspective:

I once walked into a property where a national firm had 'secured' the home by simply locking the doors. What they didn't realize was that a black bear had torn through a basement window to escape the cold. By the time we got there, the damage was extensive. That's why knowing the realities of Alaska's environment is critical—securing a property here means more than just a lock and key.

One time, an out-of-state vendor thought 'winterizing' meant just draining the pipes. They didn't realize Alaska's freeze depth could crack a foundation if heat isn't managed properly. By the time they figured it out, the damage was done. That's why our local team makes all the difference—we prevent costly mistakes before they happen.
