The first annual National Property Preservation Conference was held in Washington, D.C. to foster communication between servicers, contractors and investors. The final remarks were by one of the M&Ms, who stressed their commitment to building cooperative relationships, not adversarial ones. The sentiment was echoed by the servicers, HUD, the HOCs, and field service representatives: all agreed that these sessions helped to lay the foundation for business relationships that will be based on communication and cooperative efforts to resolve problems.
