REO trashouts and clean ups

[Trent Woods]

My firm is a 56 year old contracting company that has done business all over the southwest US, although we are only operating in Arizona at the time. We are primarily commercial contractors, with a residential branch. We are seriously considering starting a division to handle REO/foreclosure trashouts and clean ups (getting rid of all the junk homeowners have left in the home), but are a little unsure how to break into the business line. Due to our current business lines, we have all the necessary tools, equipment, personel, insurances, and licenses, so it is just a question of getting in contact with the right people at banks, asset managers, and private investors. Also, if desired by the clients, we can handle any necessary repairs (such as flooring, drywall, electrical, etc...), as well as grass painting, and pool draining. I am sure that we could be very competetive in this business line and provide excellent service to our customers. For now, we would only be interested in Arizona REO's. How do we get in touch with the right people to start doing that type of work? Are any of you directly related to this type of work? Thanks.
