Pre-Sale & Listing Preparation
Don’t Forget the Basement
Basements are often among the least frequently cleaned areas of a home — but when a property goes on the market, buyers see them too.
We can provide detailed basement cleaning, including floors, stairs, ledges, accessible utility areas, windows and sills, dust and cobweb removal, and other areas that may have received little attention during routine housekeeping.
Whether finished, partially finished, or primarily used for storage, a cleaner basement can help the entire property present better.
In those Nooks & Crannies
It’s often the less obvious areas that make the difference. Wanda’s Cleaning can address overlooked spaces such as under the stairs, corners, ledges, trim, shelving, behind and beneath accessible furnishings, utility areas, and other places that may not receive attention during routine housekeeping.
Have a Garage?
Garages are another area that can receive little attention during routine housekeeping but become much more noticeable when a home is being prepared for sale. Wanda’s Cleaning can help clean garage floors, remove dust and cobwebs, wipe accessible surfaces, and improve the overall appearance of the space. Whether the garage is used for parking, storage, or both, a cleaner and more orderly-looking garage can help the entire property feel better maintained and ready for prospective buyers.
Exterior Property Preparation
A home’s first impression begins before a prospective buyer reaches the front door.
Exterior power washing is available for properties requiring additional preparation before listing and may include:
-
House washing
-
Driveways
-
Sidewalks and walkways
-
Patios
-
Porches and entry areas
-
Other appropriate exterior surfaces
Interior and exterior services can be coordinated to help prepare the property for photography, showings, open houses, or sale.
Additional Property Preparation
Some homes need more than cleaning before they’re ready for market.
When additional work is needed, we can assist with coordinating qualified service providers for appropriate minor repairs and other property-preparation needs.
This allows homeowners and real estate professionals to address multiple property needs while maintaining a coordinated approach to getting the home ready for market.
A Service Tailored to the Property
No two properties require exactly the same preparation. Some need a thorough top-to-bottom cleaning after years of occupancy. Others may need attention primarily to kitchens, bathrooms, basements, windows, or exterior surfaces.
We can evaluate the property, discuss the priorities of the homeowner or real estate professional, and develop a scope of work appropriate for the home.
