Las Vegas Woman Victim of Wrong House Trash Out
When a home is sold in a foreclosure very often it is full of junk. So the buyers hire a company to clean it out, what is called in the industry as a Trash Out.
Well a trash out in Las Vegas went horrible wrong as they hit the wrong house and now Nilly Mauck has lost all her possessions.
Can we say OOPS? This is going to cost someone a whole lot of money.
A few weeks ago, the foreclosed home was supposed to get locks changed but Mauck says that’s not what happened. “I came home to pick up something and there was a note on my door from the Brenkus Team of Keller and Williams Realty stating that they accidentally re-keyed the wrong door,” she said.
It was a problem Mauck thought was fixed, until she came home to find a man going into her home. Mauck says everything inside was missing.
She says she later learned her home had been trashed out, a process done to foreclosures where everything left inside is thrown away. via Las Vegas Now

This is horrible. Our office takes extra care and precaution with foreclosures to prevent this kind of unacceptable mistake.

Wow, this one is really hard to decide whether it is a tragedy or good fortune.
Never imagine the fallouts of a real estate recession can be so weird.

Unbelievable. You’d think they might stop to verify the homeowner before doing all that work, and you know there are always those things that cannot be replaced. I would lose it.

It’s unfortunate a mistake like this happened! I couldn’t imagine losing all my personal belongings! Can’t believe they only offered her $5000 for her belongings???

Thanks for the story. I had a friend send me the link to tell me about a funny story. Not the case, it is just another reminder of how careful and sensitive anyone involved in a foreclosure must be. I feel sorry for this lady, and hopefully this all gets cleared up.
