You will undoubtedly want to know where to apply for vendors if you are a new contractor searching for employment in the property preservation industry or if you are the owner of a small preservation firm looking to grow and work with more foreigners. I have thus made an effort to create a list of national property preservation firms that work closely with banks and HUD and are constantly seeking new vendors, along with links to those firms’ vendor application portals and a summary of each business. You can read one of my earlier blogs on the property preservation price list if you’re interested in finding out how much any of these nationals cost. Need help to process your work orders?

Largest Property Preservation Companies:
The biggest nations are those with the most work and the broadest coverage across the states. They all work in PnP and REO and, generally speaking, make more money than other nationals:
1) Mortgage Contracting Services (MCS)
MCS is currently one of the biggest nationalities. They work on Hazard Repairs, PnP, Eviction, and REO. Contractors must be covered by insurance for general liability and E&O Insurance with a $1 million coverage maximum in order to be accepted as MCS vendors. Their payment is likewise fair, and as of this point, no contractors have complained to me about poor payment. Here is their link to their Vendor Application page.
2) Servicelink
In 2016, Servicelink had a massive change in its vendor platform. The new platform Assetshield has some drastic changes to how orders are processed from before. You can read more about that on our blog on Assethshield. To become their vendor, click on Assetshield Vendor Information.
3) Five Brothers Property Preservation Company
Though Five Brothers is a big national corporation, there have been various complaints about it, including low grass cutting charges, tardy payments, and back billing. But I have seen some contractors collaborate with Five Brothers successfully.

4) Safeguard Properties
Safeguard is maybe the biggest national preservation business. They cover nearly every state. They are also among the easiest to start selling. However, it should be mentioned that compared to most other nationalities, their cost for lawn cut providers is rather reasonable. Safeguard Vendor Application.
