In my area the agents that list the foreclosures usually are the ones that help coordinate getting that work done. You should be able to ask a few agents in your area who the foreclosure listing agents are. Most banks have a few agents that they use.... and any knowledgeable agent will know who those are in your area. Once you know the key foreclosure listers, ask them if you can do a house for them and show them your work. You could do it at a discount... or somehow entice them to give you a shot at the work. Remember these agents have lots of business, and the reason they do is they have a strong list of vendors working on their behalf. If they don't have work for you today, they may next week. You have to keep trying to get a break.

You might try calling the listing agent. Sometimes the bank lets them decide who will trash out the home and maintain the yard.

Your best would most likely be to work for a property preservation company as an independent contractor in your area--- most large banks have contracts already established with these companies for services and are just in need of local companies to outsource work to.

A few of the larger companies you could try to apply with are:
Cyprexx Services
Safeguard
First American

Hello Tanneice,

This generally falls under the guise of a Property Preservationaist. You can find a good discussion on this Trulia thread:

Knowledge is power, but sharing knowledge brings peace!!

Hi, I would attempt to go onto the websites for Countrywide, wells fargo, First Tennessee, etc. and see if there is a phone or email - some type of contact- another idea would be to drop cards off at all the Real estate companies, usually there are places for the cards to be or even a flyer. We do that often at Prudential
Realtors are always looking for good and relible companies.

Good Luck to you !

Patty
