Sellers and agents ask for this under several names — listing cleaning, pre-listing cleaning, real-estate photo cleaning, or a staging clean before the shoot. It is one job: the rooms that appear in the photographs taken first, glass and light fittings done before the camera arrives, and the rest of the house brought to the same standard before the first viewing. The house is usually still lived in, so we work around a family rather than an empty property.

What the service covers, step by step — the checklist, the timings and the published starting price — is on the pre-sale cleaning page. This page is about running it locally. For everything else we do in Mountain Brook, see cleaning services in Mountain Brook.
