Have you ever wondered what happens to abandoned or properties that have been foreclosed on? There is usually an assortment of items, trash and debris left behind, both interior and exterior of the property. At this point, someone has to manage the property, usually the bank will take it back and they will source out a real estate firm to take on the process of the foreclosure cleaning and ultimately the sale of the property. Once they have established that connection, that's where clean-out crews are started to be contacted for the foreclosure cleaning, like 541 Junk Removal. We usually break this process down in 4 steps.
1. The walk through: once we have been contacted by the person in charge of the foreclosure cleaning, we will have a brief discussion about the property and then we will schedule a in person meeting. Depending on the condition of the property it can be a quick look, understanding of expectations and then we are done or it could be an extensive walk that will require some time and check list to ensure both contractor and agent are on the same page. Transparency and communication is always so important early on, especially with fore-closure cleaning. While completing our initial walk through we are looking for items that can be donated, recycled and thrown out. From there we will start pricing out depending on the amount of labor, equipment and trailer loads it will take to complete the job. Our pricing on foreclosure cleaning are amongst the most affordable because we usually get the estimated yardage and disposal almost perfect.
2. The bid: I feel like lots of people are intimated by this word and process, we are not. The bid is only scary when you are guessing or don't fully understand how to price for foreclosure cleanings. When we asset a property we are looking at weight, labor, landfill fees, trip fees, trailer loads and property accessibility. Thats where experience plays a large role, we have done a lot of these, but the first one was tough. When you look at property for a foreclosure cleaning it can seem daunting and almost not completable, but after you get a few under your belt you start to realize its just a bunch of smaller jobs piled into one. Our pricing is broke down into sections, per room and exterior lot size. We start to estimate yards compared to trailer space. Once we have a grip on yards, we understand the material that is being removed, it gets split up into sections, recycle, donation, appliances and trash. Once we have all these things in order we can accurately provide a detailed bid that will outline our steps, along with detailed pricing. If we both agree to the terms, we will start working according to desired dates.
3. Working during the foreclosure cleaning: when we get to this part, we have already built the trust and confidence and we are excited to execute, to prove you made the right choice. Our first task, we will gather everyone up at the job-site and give the order of operation for items going, staying, being recycled and donated. We then designate crews to their own task, some will start to work on the exterior, some on the interior and some will follow behind for more in depth clean up. As the foreclosure cleaning rounds the corner we start to double check all nooks and crannies to make sure there isn't anything missed. A 541 Junk Removal manger or owner, will show up, to do a quality inspection to make sure the project has met the needs of our standard and customer. After that point we will call the point of contact and let them know we are ready for the final walk through on the job.
4. Final Walk through: here is where it counts, we want the look of Christmas morning as the agent starts to walk up to the job. We will start to walk the property and make sure everything has been removed and allows the agent to move to the next stage of their job. One thing we really pride ourselves on is making sure a job is never left incomplete. If a client feels something didn't hit the mark we will make the adjustment and do the things needed to complete the final step. As we said, communication is so crucial with everything and we are willing to receive the good and bad news with the same integrity. If everything checks out, we will send final invoice, request an amazing review and then ask for more foreclosure cleaning jobs!
