How our pre-sale cleaning works
The same process on every listing, whether it's a first open home, a re-list or a quick refresh before the photographer arrives.
Free Assessment
We walk the property with you or your agent, note what buyers will notice first, and give you a clear quote on the spot. No guesswork, no hidden extras.
The Detail
Kitchen, bathrooms, living areas and glass brought to a standard that photographs well and holds up to buyers opening cupboards and checking the shower.
Photo Report
We finish with a walkthrough and send a dated photo record to you and your agent, so everyone knows the property is ready before the first open home.

Why presentation matters when you sell
Most buyers see your home online before they ever walk through the door. The listing photos decide who books an inspection, and the open home decides who makes an offer.
A clean, bright property photographs better, feels better cared for, and gives buyers fewer reasons to talk the price down. It's one of the cheapest things you can do before going to market.
The listing photos come first
We time the clean for a day or two before the photographer, so glass, benchtops and bathrooms look their best on camera.
Buyers read cleanliness as maintenance
Soap scum, greasy rangehoods and dusty tracks make buyers wonder what else has been left. A detailed clean removes those doubts.
Agents notice the difference
A property that is ready on time makes your agent's job easier, from photography day through to every open home.
Touch-ups keep it inspection ready
Campaigns can run for weeks. We can come back for a quick refresh before key open homes so it stays at the same standard.

A simple timeline so the property is at its best on photography day and every open home after it.
2 to 3 weeks before listing
Book your free assessment. If your agent has a photography date, send it through so we can plan around it.
Declutter first
Clear benchtops, pack away personal items and remove anything you are taking with you. We clean around furniture, not clutter.
1 to 2 days before photos
The detailed clean happens here, close enough to photography day that everything is still fresh on camera.
During the campaign
Book a quick touch-up before key open homes if the property is lived in, so it stays inspection ready.
Before settlement
Need a final clean when you move out? We can quote that at the same assessment.

Pre-sale cleaning FAQs
How much does pre-sale cleaning cost in Shellharbour?
Pre-sale presentation cleaning starts from $450. Your exact price depends on the size and condition of the property and is confirmed at a free on-site assessment, and anything extra is agreed with you before we do it.
Why do I need an assessment before pricing?
No two properties going to market need the same work. Walking through with you or your agent means we price what buyers will actually notice, and you only pay for what is needed.
When should I book a pre-sale clean?
Book your assessment 2 to 3 weeks before listing. The clean itself is best done 1 to 2 days before your photography date so the property looks its best on camera.
Can you work around my open home dates?
Yes. We book around your photography and open home schedule, including weekends, and can return for touch-ups during the campaign.
Do you work with real estate agents directly?
Yes. Many of our pre-sale cleans are arranged by agents. We can take access and instructions from your agent and send the photo report to both of you.
Is window cleaning included?
Interior glass, mirrors, sills and tracks are included. Exterior window cleaning is an add-on from $120, or from $220 for full inside and out service.
Can you clean while we are still living in the home?
Yes. Most pre-sale cleans are done in lived-in homes. Decluttering beforehand helps us reach every surface and gets a better result.
