For agents in Porter, Lake and LaPorte counties
The clean that has to pass somebody else’s walkthrough.
Move-out and pre-listing cleaning across Northwest Indiana. One person, a date that holds, and photographs in your inbox the same day so you are never the last to know how it went.
Golds Cleaning does move-out, move-in and pre-listing cleaning for real estate agents across Porter, Lake and LaPorte counties in Northwest Indiana. Maria cleans every home herself, so the agent deals with one person from booking to invoice. Jobs are scheduled backwards from the walkthrough or closing date, the price is firm before she starts rather than an estimate that moves, and finished rooms are photographed and sent the same day.
What you are actually buying
A date that holds
You get a confirmed day and window, not a call back to arrange one. If I cannot make your date I say so while you still have time to call somebody else.
The same person, every time
Maria does the work herself. No rotating crew, nobody you have not met, and nobody who has to be told your standard twice.
Insured to $1 million
The certificate goes to you before the first job, without you having to ask for it. Name your brokerage on it if that is what your file needs.
If it is not right, I come back
Before the walkthrough, not after an argument about it. That is the whole guarantee and there is nothing under it in smaller type.
How it runs
Send me the listing
Address, square footage, beds and baths, and the date it has to be done by. You already have all of it in the MLS entry, so this takes a minute and there is no site visit.
You get a firm number and a day
Not an estimate that moves once she is inside. The figure is built from the actual home and it is the figure on the invoice.
It is done, and you get proof
Photographs of the finished rooms the same day, so you can send your client something before they have to ask you how it went.
What a move-out covers
The five things a buyer, a landlord or an inspecting agent actually opens, plus everything a regular clean would do.
Occupied pre-listing cleans are a different plan and are priced as one. Full detail on the move-out cleaning page.
What I will tell you before you need to ask
Golds Cleaning is one person, so the calendar is genuinely finite and weekends are not available. That is a real constraint and you should know it before you build a closing around me rather than after. What you get for it is that the person who quoted your job is the person who cleans it, and there is nobody in between to lose your date.
What agents ask
Can you clean before a final walkthrough?
Yes, and that is most of this work. Give me the walkthrough date when you book and I schedule backwards from it rather than forwards from today. If the date moves, tell me and I move with it.
Who pays, the agent or the client?
Whoever you tell me. I can bill you, your brokerage, the seller or the buyer, and I can hold the invoice until closing if that is cleaner for your file. It does not change the price and it does not change the work.
Do you work weekends?
No. Monday to Friday, and I would rather tell you that now than take a Saturday closing and let you down on the Friday night. Book the weekday before and there is margin in it for both of us.
What if the seller left things behind?
I clean, I do not haul. Small amounts of rubbish go out with me. If a garage is full or there is furniture left, I will tell you what I found with photos before I start, so you hear it from me and not from the buyer's agent.
Do you do pre-listing cleans on an occupied home?
Yes. It is a different job from a move-out, because the house is lived in and being photographed rather than emptied and inspected. Say which one you need when you book and the plan is built for it.
How much notice do you need?
As much as you can give me, and I will tell you honestly what is left when you ask. Short notice is sometimes possible and I will never say yes to a date I cannot hold.
What areas do you cover?
Porter, Lake and LaPorte counties, across 120 Indiana ZIP codes from Valparaiso out. If your listing is on the edge of that, ask, and you will get a straight answer rather than a maybe.
Send me one listing and see how it goes.
A firm number in a few minutes, no site visit, and nothing charged until the work is done.
