    Eviction Coordination Workflow for REO Properties

    TLDR: When an REO property is confirmed occupied, Realty Force supports the coordination of next steps such as attorney assignment and personal property handling. The platform tracks tasks and documents; it does not initiate eviction, serve notices, or provide legal advice.

    Occupied REO files can require coordinated next steps among the broker, asset manager, and counsel. Realty Force records those steps as structured tasks on the asset rather than leaving responsibility, documents, and decisions scattered across email and phone calls.

    When eviction coordination starts

    An occupied confirmation is the starting point for reviewing the property's next steps. It is not a decision by the platform that eviction is appropriate.

    • Occupancy is confirmed as occupied by the listing broker or field agent.
    • The asset manager or client defaults can trigger the next coordination tasks.
    • Tasks are recorded on the asset with clear responsibility and due dates.

    Common coordination steps

    The team coordinates the steps required for the file, following the client's instructions and counsel's decisions. The asset record keeps related tasks and supporting material together.

    • Assign an eviction attorney from the client's approved contacts.
    • Track personal property or abandoned property handling.
    • Record bids, approvals, and document uploads on the related tasks.
    • Keep status and notes visible to the asset manager and broker, subject to their access to the file.

    What Realty Force does not do

    • Does not initiate eviction proceedings.
    • Does not serve notices or take legal action.
    • Does not provide legal advice or determine whether eviction is appropriate.
    • Does not replace the role of licensed counsel or the client's internal policies.

    The workflow keeps coordination tasks, documents, and decisions tied to the asset record while leaving legal decisions with the client and their counsel.
