Safeguard Properties Inc Reviews

  • Jul 17, 2015

Safeguard Properties is a criminal organization. I have been living as a tenant in a home in foreclosure with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE for the past few years. Since living there, the owner of the home has been trying to save the property but could not. Although nearing the end of the foreclosure process, as of the writing of this complaint, the owner of my home still holds the deed to the property.

Recently, SAFEGUARD PROPERTIES was hired by Nationstar to "manage the property" (one that they do not yet own). While at work one day, contractors for Safeguard illegally broke into the home and changed the locks on the front door in an effort to "secure" what they deemed to be an "abandoned" property. Every window and door on the home was closed and locked sufficiently. There was absolutely no need for them to "secure" and already secure home.

Once we gained entry to the home, we found a letter on the kitchen counter advising us to call a number. We did so and made a formal complaint (what good is complaining to a thief about their thievery??). A couple of days later I found that this Safeguard Properties contractor also stole an expensive watch from one of the bedrooms on the second floor of the home. Police reports were filed for both the break-in and theft of the watch. And we contacted our county's Sheriff's office, which oversees all foreclosures in the county. Needless to say, the Sheriff was not at all pleased by this company's actions.

After doing EXTENSIVE research on this "company", I learned that they have been sued a ridiculous amount of times, most notably by the Illinois State Attorney General who won $1M for homeowners. It in unconsionable to me that in America, a stranger can break into your home, change your locks, keep a set of keys to be able to enter whenever they'd like, and steal your belongings all without consequence!

I am now looking for a lawyer who will evaluate my case to determine if I have any recourse against these criminals. If nothing else, they cannot be allowed to get away with criminal activity under the guise of being a business. If anyone reading this knows of any attorneys who may be interested in this type of case, please contact me. I am in the state of NJ.

For the past Six months, I've tried to contact Safeguard Properties about a Bank of America / Countrywide Mortgage Property in Foreclosure, to get them to show up and repair the yard and trees and other maintenance.

I've been told off by their phone reps, and now find their online form on their website does not submit.

There is no way to get them to do the work they contracted with Bank of America to do.

I am at the point of wanting to sue Bank of America as all kinds of weird vines and weird weeds are spreading from their property onto mine. Rats and Bugs infest the property, and there hasn't been a maintenance at that location in a year. They are continuing to cause financial damage to my yard and home.

I've written to them. I'm about ready to file complaints with the town.

I've spoken with others who say the same thing: its a SHAM.

Ok we all see stories about how bad a company is and how they didn't pay. We think maybe they were just bad contractors and that's what happen.

Our company was in business for 7 years before we took work from safeguard properties and we ranged from $200,000 to $500,000 a year in gross sales. We saw the war stories and thought same as above. We worked with them for a year and the money was being paid (super late but paid). My wife feel ill after our child was born and I took off from work orders for about two months. after the two months we told them we can no longer take work orders due to family medical issues.

at this time we were owed $13,598 still. Long story short, after 5 months later we still have not seen any of the money owed to us. What we have seen was back charge after back charge. They have back charged us the $13,598 owed to us and have back charged us so far to date $41,035. before you think "what the heck you guys mess up", that's the thing, nothing. All the back charges are from jobs we have done 17-22 months ago. They back charged us $675 for a seam in carpet that was visible. The room was 10x10. No carpet builders grade cost that much. It was never visable and the realtor signed off on all our paperwork and gave us 10's on our papereork. now all of a sudden 19 months later there's an issue and we get a charge back.

another chargeback was for $2950 for not connecting electric to an a/c unit. We have emails stating not to connect the electric when we brought it to their attention. This one is 11 months ago and guess what, all of a sudden it's an issue and they charged us back.

heres the kicker. They don't call your company to go fix any issues if they do find them. They say they have another contractor fix it already and charge you. It's obvious this is a scam. all yea, we just received our 1099 from them and they over stated the 1099 by $12170. So there's another thing we have to deal with.

for you contractors that are thinking about doing work for these guys or any bank repo company for that matter beware. None are in business to help you. They all have the business plan to make money and take yours. you will NEVER come out ontop. if you want to get in this industry you can simply do it yourself and bypass the middleman who takes all the money.
