Before the First Showing

What's Included in a Pre-Listing Deep Clean

Let Buyers Notice the Home, Not What Needs Cleaning.

Buyers notice the details. The kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures, baseboards, window sills, and all those little places that tend to get overlooked during everyday cleaning.

A pre-listing deep clean gives the entire property some much-needed attention before the photographer arrives or the first potential buyer walks through the door.

Our teams work through the home room by room, tackling the buildup, dust, and grime that can distract from an otherwise beautiful property.

And because every home is different, we'll discuss its condition and cleaning needs before preparing your estimate.

From Listing to Moving Day

Cleaning for Every Stage of a Home Sale

One Cleaning Company. Plenty of Ways to Make Your Job Easier.

A home doesn't always need cleaning just once during a sale. There may be weeks between the first listing photos and the day the new owners receive their keys, with plenty happening in between.

Whether your clients are getting ready to sell, packing up to leave, or preparing to move into their new home, D's Dust Bunnies can help make each transition a little easier.

Pre-Listing and Showing Preparation

A clean property is easier to present at its best. We help sellers and agents prepare homes for photography, open houses, and showings with thorough cleaning that gives kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and other important areas the attention they deserve.

Move-Out Cleaning for Sellers

Once the furniture is gone and the boxes are packed, there's often more cleaning left than anyone expected. Our move-out cleaning takes care of the empty property, including cabinets, drawers, appliances, and those areas that were hidden behind furniture.

Move-In Cleaning for Buyers

The keys are finally in hand, but before the furniture arrives, there's one more thing worth doing. A professional move-in cleaning gives buyers the opportunity to start fresh in their new home without having to spend their first day scrubbing someone else's kitchen.

And our relationship doesn't have to end at closing. Your clients can also turn to D's Dust Bunnies for ongoing house cleaning, while real estate offices and property managers can ask about our commercial and rental cleaning services.

One company to call, whether your clients are moving in, moving out, or getting ready to sell.

Questions

Realtor and Pre-Listing Cleaning Questions

Good Answers for Busy Real Estate Professionals.

When Should I Schedule Cleaning Before Listing Photos?

Ideally, the deep cleaning should happen after major repairs, painting, and other messy preparation work is finished, but before the photographer arrives. Contact us as soon as you know your target date so we can discuss availability.

What's the Difference Between Pre-Listing and Move-Out Cleaning?

A pre-listing deep clean prepares a home for photos and showings, often while the sellers still live there. Move-out cleaning typically takes place after the property has been emptied, allowing our team to reach cabinets, drawers, and areas that furniture previously covered.

Do You Provide Move-In Cleaning for Buyers?

Yes! Realtors regularly work with buyers who want their new home thoroughly cleaned before moving in. Our move-in cleaning services cover kitchens, bathrooms, cabinets, drawers, floors, and other areas throughout the property.

Can the Realtor Arrange Cleaning on Behalf of a Client?

Yes. Realtors can contact our office to discuss cleaning for a listing, seller, or buyer. We'll work through the property details and scheduling arrangements with you.

Do You Clean Homes Between Owners or Tenants?

Yes. Our move-in and move-out services are available for properties changing owners or tenants. We also work with landlords and property managers preparing homes for new occupants.

Is Cleaning Inside the Refrigerator Included?

Yes. Interior refrigerator cleaning is included in our pre-listing and move-in/move-out cleaning services. Cleaning inside the oven is available for an additional charge.

How Far in Advance Should I Book a Cleaning?

The sooner you contact us, the easier it is to discuss your preferred date. If you're working around photography, showings, or closing, let our office know your timeline when requesting an estimate.

Are Your Cleaning Teams Background-Checked and Insured?

Yes. Our cleaning teams are background-checked, and D's Dust Bunnies is licensed, bonded, and insured.

Can You Clean Our Real Estate Office Too?

Absolutely. We also provide commercial cleaning services for offices and other workplaces. Ask us about setting up a cleaning plan for your real estate office.

How Much Does Realtor Cleaning Cost?

The cost depends on the size and condition of the property and the type of cleaning needed. Contact our office for a free estimate. We'll discuss your requirements and any additional services before scheduling.
