Send the property condition, visual priorities, access and next milestone in one request.
A cleaner cannot infer the listing strategy from an address. Translate the marketing plan into the rooms and visible details that must be ready next.
State occupied, staged, vacant or mid-move
Condition and access change the viable service, timing and whether storage or floors are reachable.
Name the rooms and sightlines the listing will repeat
Call out the kitchen, principal bath, entry, glass, floors and any feature that carries the visual story.
Protect time before photos or showings
Finish repairs and staging dependencies first, then leave a review window after cleaning.
The vendor-ready brief
Answer six questions before the cleaner asks them from the lobby.
A reusable property brief protects the seller experience and gives the responsible contact a clear approval role.
Who approves the scope?
Name the seller, realtor, assistant or property manager who can make a decision if the condition differs from the request.
How does the cleaner enter?
Provide lockbox, keys, fob, concierge, elevator, alarm and parking—not only the MLS address.
What will be removed first?
Complete staging removal, junk removal, repairs and dusty contractor work before the final cleaning pass.
What happens next?
State photography, video, showings, open house or possession and the protected time between cleaning and that milestone.
Choose by presentation risk
Spend the cleaning detail where the listing can actually use it.
Do not add every interior automatically. Select the work that changes what buyers see, photograph or inspect in the current property.
Occupied listing
Prioritize open sightlines, kitchens, bathrooms, floors and a maintenance plan across the showing period.
Vacant listing
Use Move In/Out as the turnover foundation and choose appliance or cabinet interiors when buyers will inspect them.
Detail-led listing
Use Deep when accessible baseboards, frames, cabinet fronts and other room edges weaken the presentation.
After the sale
Create a separate possession-clean decision after packing and moving change the home's condition.
NearMe customer evidence
The presentation claim is strongest when the cleaning evidence is real.
Authentic NearMe Google reviews describe detailed work, move-related cleaning and homes prepared under real customer deadlines.
Read our Google reviews ↗“I’ve gone through a few house cleaning services in Vancouver over the years, and NearMe has easily been the most consistent. The booking process was straightforward, they arrived on time, and my home looked noticeably cleaner when they finished. It’s nice not having to follow up or remind anyone about the details. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable cleaning service.”
“Prices are reasonable. Good cleaners and they provide their own supplies. You only need to supply your ow vacuum, mop, broom, etc. We initially got a cleaner who didn’t meet our standards, but they were able to send a better one after. Responsive with requests/inquiries. Had a couple of booking changes, but was able to correct within reason. Overall, good service!”
“Got a Biweekly house cleaning services from the Nearme cleaning in Vancouver.It's been 7 months already Reliable and very Good pricing!”
Questions before you decide
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to the questions customers ask before choosing a service, schedule or cleaning company.

Yes, when the realtor or assistant is authorized to provide property details, access and scope approval. Identify the responsible contact in the request.
Move In/Out Cleaning is the usual empty-home foundation. Choose oven, refrigerator, cabinet, blind or interior-window extras when the listing requires them.
