On-Demand Property Preservation Services — Nationwide

REI Runner is the on-demand property preservation services network for real estate investors, wholesalers, funds, and asset managers. Post a property task — vacancy check, lockbox install, drive-by, walkthrough, or contractor meetup — and a vetted local runner delivers geotagged proof of work. Funds release only when you approve.

What property preservation covers

Vacancy & occupancy verification

Confirm whether a property is vacant, occupied, or abandoned — with on-site geotagged photos and a written status report.

Exterior drive-bys & condition reports

Quick on-site check with exterior photos and curbside condition notes for underwriting, asset management, or insurance review.

Full interior walkthrough video plus 20+ geotagged photos for remote underwriting and listing-prep.

Lockbox installs & access management

Lockbox placed, photographed, and code delivered to your dashboard. Re-codes and removals on request.

A vetted runner meets a contractor, inspector, or appraiser on-site so you don't have to fly out.

Yard signs & marketing placement

Install or remove signage, lockboxes, or other property items with photo proof.

What is property preservation?

Property preservation is the practice of inspecting, securing, and maintaining real estate assets — typically vacant, REO, distressed, or out-of-market properties — through recurring on-site tasks. Traditional property preservation companies run on contracted bank and REO workflows with delayed invoicing. REI Runner is the on-demand version: a vetted local runner shows up, completes one task, uploads the geotagged deliverable, and funds release when you approve.
