What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Maine regulates residential real estate property preservation services providers — companies that secure, maintain, and preserve residential properties, often on behalf of lenders during default or foreclosure — under 32 M.R.S. §§11001–11054, administered by the Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection.
The license is conditioned on a $15,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the property preservation statute and the rules of the Bureau, so harmed parties have a financial backstop if you violate them.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $15,000 filing continuous.
