Foreclosure Cleaning in Benton Harbor, MI

Benton Harbor Foreclosure Cleaning FAQ

What is foreclosure cleaning?

In this tough economy, the amount of homes going into foreclosure has skyrocketed. Some figures demonstrate that as much as 4.5% of all houses have received such a notice for foreclosure, and that number is expected to rise by nearly 1000%. Our job is to clean out the houses out for the next buyer(s) to move into. On paper, the previous homeowner moves out and the bank collects the house. In reality, the previous homeowner is under no legal obligation to leave the property completely vacant of furniture and other such items. We specialize in emptying the rest of the house.

I need a foreclosed home cleared out fast! Can you help?

Absolutely! Part of the nature of the job is being ready on a moment's notice, and we are no exception. For the most part. banks generally wait until the last possible moment to notify anyone that the property needs to be cleaned out. It's more of an afterthought, and we try to quickly but professionally abide by those requests. We try to keep our time spent cleaning to a minimum, as time is usually of the essence when foreclosing homes. In any case we'll have the furniture and ourselves out of there as soon as possible.

What does the term "trash-out" refer to?

Realtors use the phrase "trash-out" to describe a home that needs to be vacated of furnishings and property before a new buyer can move in. When a bank gives the "trash-out" command, that's a clear sign to our company to get the residence to livable quality in as short a time as possible.
