Re: Another thought about spring cleaning

A friend paid $700.00 to get her mother's house cleaned, just to get it ready for showing.  I doubt if any real estate sales person around here would shoulder that amount.  What if the house doesn't sell?

Re: Another thought about spring cleaning

I've sold two homes and left them broom clean.  The time line was set by my employer.  I was given the bare minimum of time.  I had to clean prior to the movers coming.  As they emptied each room, I'd be behind them vacuuming.  I was on the road an hour after the moving truck left.  If I didn't, I wouldn't be at the new house when the truck arrived.  It was stressful.

Re: Another thought about spring cleaning

It's only a couple miles from here to our new house so I assume when the moving truck leaves one of us will have to stay here to sweep and close up while the other one follows the movers to our new home.
