Use a fixed route
Start at the highest floor or farthest room and work toward the exit. Check drawers, built-ins, attic or basement access, utility spaces, garage walls, and outdoor storage.
Separate property fixtures
Do not assume shelving, mounted equipment, window treatments, or appliances should be removed. Confirm the lease, sale agreement, or owner instructions first.
Photograph the final group
A wide photo of each room plus close views of bulky pieces can make the scope easier to discuss. Keep private papers and personal data out of the frame.
Leave time for the final sweep
Removal and cleaning are different tasks. Confirm what basic cleanup is included and reserve time for the property standard you must meet.
Quick checklist
- Every storage area checked
- Fixtures confirmed
- Leftovers grouped
- Private information removed
- Cleaning scope confirmed
Before you schedule
Use the checklist to describe the job, then confirm accepted material, access, price, timing, and the exact areas included. A submitted description or phone conversation is not a confirmed appointment until the operator accepts it.
