Step 6 to Selling Your Home: Deep Clean for a Sparkling First Impression
Step 6 to Selling Your Home: Deep Clean for a Sparkling First Impression
By this stage, your paperwork is complete, repairs are handled, and staging is in place. Now it’s time for one of the most important—and most overlooked—steps: a deep clean.
Why Cleaning Matters
First impressions matter in real estate. Nothing turns buyers off faster than dirty kitchens, bathrooms, or floors. A sparkling-clean home photographs better, shows better, and makes buyers feel more confident that the property has been well cared for.
That’s why we recommend scheduling a deep clean the day before (or the morning of) your professional photography appointment. This way, your home is spotless for photos and ready to impress in person.
How We Can Help
Don’t want to tackle it yourself? We can help coordinate it for you.
Our trusted cleaning partner charge $450+ (depends on the square footage and size of your home).
We’ll schedule the appointment and handle the details so you don’t have to.
You just sit back and enjoy the results.
💡 Important: All repairs and staging should be completed before the cleaning appointment so your home is fully ready for photography and showings.
Keeping It Clean
Once your home has been professionally cleaned, do your best to maintain that fresh look. Wipe down counters, vacuum regularly, and keep clutter to a minimum.
If your home needs another deep clean before showings or during the listing period, let us know—we’ll set up another appointment for you.
Bottom Line
A deep clean is one of the simplest, most cost-effective ways to boost your home’s appeal. Buyers will notice—and it can make all the difference between a “maybe” and an offer.
