Unfortunately, foreclosures happen more frequently than you may think. If you have become the victim of a layoff or divorce and can’t make the payments on your home, the bank will step in and sell it for you. Perhaps you are the landlord or a real estate agent whose client has been notified they must leave due to foreclosure. In this case, the first step to successfully selling the property is to ensure the home is clean. That’s where we come in.

Handling this on your own can be daunting, stressful, and time consuming. It’s best to call junk removal specialists to take care of the job promptly and efficiently. It’s necessary to ensure all of the previous tenant’s property has been removed, with nothing being damaged in the process. When you hire a team, yon ensure that all appliances, furniture, carpeting and debris is hauled away before staging the home for sale.

Check out these tips for foreclosure cleanouts:

Tackle the Outside

This is where you can add curb appeal so that potential buyers will stop and want to come inside for a look. The inside can be as pretty as a picture, but if buyers can’t get past the exterior, you’re dead in the water. Restoring the exterior appearance can be achieved in several ways:

  • Call a junk removal company to haul away construction debris, old siding pieces and shingles, concrete chunks, broken patio furniture, sheds, old basketball hoops, junk cars and hot tubs that are no longer in operation.
  • Call a gardener or landscaper to plant grass, flowers and shrubs to beautify the property. A freshly mowed and maintained yard goes a long way toward attracting potential buyers.
  • Add decorations to the exterior, from window boxes to statues in the garden. It’s important to make the property look lived in.
  • Repair anything that faces the street, such as broken windows, blinds, crumbling steps, and broken mailboxes.

Clean up the Interior

This can be a huge task because every room of the house likely needs attention. Be prepared to do a lot of house cleaning and small repair tasks, such as:

  • Clean or replace the carpets
  • Repair broken light fixtures
  • Call pest exterminators
  • Clean out the refrigerator
  • Haul boxes of old toys, clothing, books, tools and just plain junk from the basement, attic and other rooms
  • Clean home top to bottom
  • Remove waste materials, paint cans, chemicals, etc.
  • Replace blinds and window coverings
