Safeguard Properties announced in a statement Thursday that it has reached an agreement to acquire the entire field service operations of Bank of America.

Through the agreement, Safeguard will take on the employees and vendor network of the field service operations out of three facilities – two in California and one in Texas. The transaction is scheduled to close in 60 to 90 days.

The cost of the acquisition and the number of employees to be added was not revealed in the statement. A company spokesperson said until closing, Safeguard is not in a position to discuss any details, and the statement provided is all that can be said.

Safeguard will be responsible for inspecting and maintaining the bank’s portfolio of defaulted and REO properties.

Before You Go ...

Foreclosurepedia exists because readers, workers, and advocates understand that protecting Labor in the mortgage field services industry requires independence, persistence, and resources. We do not answer to servicers, hedge funds, or corporate trade groups; our accountability is to the Field Service Technicians, Inspectors and administrative personnel whose livelihoods are too often treated as expendable. Donations are what allow us to investigate quietly buried contract changes, expose abusive labor practices, and publish work that would otherwise never see the light of day. Every contribution helps keep our reporting free from industry pressure and focused squarely on defending labor standards, fair pay, and basic dignity in the foreclosure ecosystem. If you believe this work matters, your support is not symbolic—it is the reason Foreclosurepedia can continue to stand between Labor and a system that routinely exploits it.
