    Personal Property & Debris Handling Workflow for REO Properties

    TLDR: Realty Force tracks personal-property and debris checks on the asset record, including photos, notes, and related tasks. The platform stores the recorded findings, status, and documents; it does not determine ownership or give legal advice.

    Personal property and debris on an occupied REO file need clear documentation and instructions from the responsible parties. Keeping photos, notes, and related tasks tied to the asset reduces scattered email and spreadsheet tracking without turning a recorded observation into a legal decision.

    Documenting personal property and debris

    The property team records what was observed and keeps supporting material with the file. Removal or retention instructions remain decisions for the responsible parties, not an ownership determination by Realty Force.

    • Photos and notes are stored against the asset or related task.
    • The configured personal-property check records whether debris or personal property is present, using a Yes or No answer and an optional note. It is not a retain/remove/other decision selector.
    • Related tasks can be assigned with due dates, with instructions and status recorded on the file.

    What Realty Force does not do

    • Does not determine ownership of personal property.
    • Does not provide legal advice on removal or disposal.
    • Does not perform the physical removal.

    The workflow keeps personal-property findings, recorded instructions, photos, and task status tied to the asset while leaving legal judgment with the parties.
