Distressed Property Recovery
Dean Homes specializes in taking control of a project at any phase of construction and managing it to completion quickly and cost effectively to stabilize and recover the value of the property.
From bank-owned real estate, distressed properties, foreclosures, or construction management changes, we have the team and the experience to step in and get up to speed fast, implement effective construction budgeting, management and marketing to turn a difficult situation into a successfully completed project.
We are focused on preserving and increasing the value of distressed real estate assets controlled by financial institutions or investors. Stalled projects face unique challenges with exposure not only to weather and vandalism, but also to potential liability stemming from emergent defects. We will develop and execute a comprehensive strategic plan to stabilize a distressed single or multi-family property, mitigate loss, and work towards recovering the value to the institution or individual.
Specifically Dean Homes, Inc. can:
- Provide evaluation and inventory of distressed property condition
- Identify and correct pre-existing defects, potential liability areas, and health and safety issues
- Develop relevant marketing plans including product repositioning and assessment of final design specifications
- Establish detailed budget forecasting and real time accounting updates
- Reconcile open vendor invoices, solicit competitive bidding and negotiate vendor pricing, and secure cost effective contracts to mitigate exposure to price increases
- Obtain critical lien waiver releases over the course of the project
- Set up insurance and wrap-up policy requirements to protect the institution and investors
- Develop a formal building schedule for the project and provide updates for the duration
- Coordinate with municipality building departments to identify deficient obligations, ensure code compliance, and complete items necessary for the Certificate of Occupancy
- Implement sustainable building practices into your project including Built Green, Energy Star, and the NAHB National Green Building Programs
- Position the property for disposal through targeted advertising, realtor selection, accurate MLS exposure, and staging services
- Manage the project from existing state through completion and sale

What our clients are saying.
“This was our fifth home we have lived in. You are the third builder we have
personally known and you far exceeded our expectations as a professional builder
and an honest man. When I look back at the last year, I have a hard time thinking
of anything that was not perfect in our home. Dean’s work has been carefully and
skillfully finished. He checked everything to make sure it was just right for us.
