I want to clean vacant and foreclosed homes. How to I get started as far as who can I get contracts from? Do I go to the banks or just local real estate offices? How to I set my rates? Are there set rates or do I charge by each house? Is there good money and how do you get paid> all answers will be very helpful.

Hi, jason32!

If in the U.S. one such organization that you might want to contact would be the following one. The Premier Property Preservation, REO Maintenance And Repair Service Firm In The US (http://www.fieldassets.com/) They're always looking for people to perform work in various ways on properties. I do know that a lot of people have had success working on properties for them.

Contacting banks and Realtor offices would also be a thing that you could do.

You'll need at least liability insurance to perform this type of work.

Whenever doing work like this for others, it's always best to have some sort of signed agreement such as a contract, so that you can make sure that you'll be paid.

Thanks!

Hi Kab,

I would like to ask you if you have any experience cleaning homes as it does matter?

Contact both; Real-estate companies, banks, and also mortgage companies, etc.

Pricing is usually done by the hour by the number of employees.

Pricing varies a lot by area and competition however usually the low end is $15 - $16.50 /hour to $18 - $18.50 / hour.

Good luck let us know how you do.

I charge by the square foot of the hour depending on what the client's needs are. I really don't deal with banks, just realtors, homebuyers and home sellers. I have a Vacant Homes cleaning page on my website and also list my rates on a separate page if you're interested in looking.
