About Junk King's Foreclosure and Estate Cleanout Services

One integral part to selling a home is ensuring that the house is cleaned up and looking good for prospective buyers. Specifically, in the case of foreclosures, ensuring that all the previous tenant’s property has been removed from the home prior to putting it up for sale makes a big difference.

Whether you are a real estate agent or homeowner attempting to make a sale, you know that getting rid of all that junk can be a hefty job. Foreclosure cleanouts add another layer of complexity to the process. Not only do you need to haul heavy items out of the home, but you also need to ensure that the home isn’t damaged in the process.

Foreclosure Cleanout Services for Real Estate Agents, Property Managers and Landlords

Landlords, Realtors® and other real estate professionals understand that preparing foreclosed properties for sale can mean dealing with whatever the former homeowners have left behind.

Unfortunately, many of these prior residents believe they have little reason to leave their foreclosed home in decent condition when they vacate the property.

This is why there will always be a need for foreclosure cleanout businesses.

In addition to cleaning and repairing a foreclosed property, a different challenge is the task of hauling away any old furniture, appliances, unwanted items and other junk left behind by the former owners.

Because the nature of REOs, short sales and foreclosure transactions are complex and time-sensitive, banks and Realtors® often need cleaners on short notice and the clean out work needs to be completed with a strict turn-around time-frame.

Which is why foreclosure and estate cleanouts are such crucial tasks to understand.

What are foreclosure cleanouts, and why are they necessary?

Foreclosed homes need a lot of preparation before they are ready for an open house. Many Realtors® and banks with a large inventory of properties will hire services to come and clean these properties for them. These services can also include minor landscaping and repairs.

But sometimes this isn’t enough.

Foreclosed homes need a lot of preparation before they are ready for an open house. Many Realtors® and banks with a large inventory of properties will hire services to come and clean these properties for them. tweet this

While cleaning and repairing a property is essential and usually included in the foreclosure cleanout process, many businesses do not provide for hauling away large debris that was left behind.

The truth is that many foreclosed properties are often left with trash, abandoned furniture and other property that the previous homeowners didn't attempt to remove and haul off. Consequently, that task falls to the Realtor® or some other representative of the bank or finance company that now holds the property.

An option for these professionals is to hire a foreclosure cleanout service. Typically, a foreclosure cleanout involves hauling away old furniture, discarded appliances, unwanted household goods and other debris that was left behind by former owners.

In fact, pretty much anything that needs to be removed and disposed of properly can be taken care of by a reputable foreclosure cleanout service like Junk King. With the exception of hazardous waste, we are trained to pick up, haul, and dispose of, well, pretty much everything!

We do this quickly, efficiently and without damaging the interior of the property in any way. Our crews are fully insured and trained, which means we get rid of your unwanted items in a professional and courteous fashion.

Estate Cleanouts

In life, there are a few unfortunate events that require an estate cleanout service. Typically, there are four common reasons for cleaning out one’s property - or that of a family member.

  • Downsizing due to major lifestyle changes
  • The death of a parent or other family member
  • A divorce settlement
  • And overwhelming debt

More often than not, estate cleanouts occur because of the death of the homeowner. But not everyone who find themselves needing help cleaning out their properties are surviving spouses or children. Instead, these are people who must liquidate their assets as part of a divorce settlement, or because they want to move to take a new job in another location.

However, whatever the reasons for an estate cleanout, most people find that the task of hauling out furniture, appliances, and other household goods can be especially challenging. It’s not unusual for an elderly parent or grandparent to have accumulated a year’s worth of belongings. These things are likely to be found filling up both the house and the garage and this is in addition to any rented storage units, or storage sheds on their own property.

Eviction Cleanouts

If you’re a property manager you know that preparing a vacated rental home for new tenants requires a great deal of work. There can be repairs, cleaning, possibly new carpet and paint, and it all adds up. But sometimes the previous tenants will leave unwanted items and junk behind.<

This means you also have to deal with the task of junk removal and hauling.

Apartments Need Cleanouts, Too

Although most prior tenants leave an apartment clean and empty, there are always a few who leave behind things. Apartment cleanouts usually involves furniture, old mattresses, piles of clothes and garbage or large amounts of junk that must be removed and disposed of.

It is estimated that there are more than 44,000,000 households that are renter-occupied. That’s over one-third of the population and, while a large number of single-family homes are being rented, most of those households are apartments. And renters tend to move frequently, as well.

In fact, according to the Census Bureau, almost 25 percent of renters have lived in a different location during the previous year. And one out of 10 moves are made because of job transfers.

Someone Has to Get Rid of the Junk

Cleaning out apartments can be a tough task that requires hard work. And when old furniture and other large junk items get left behind, someone has to haul these bulky items through hallways and sometimes, downstairs.

It’s unfortunate when a landlord has to dispose of a tenant’s possessions. And when a renter leaves because of an eviction it can be a difficult experience for everyone. In these situations, many tenants never fully clean the apartments before they leave. This is true for renters who break their leases and move out without notice, as well.

The same thing can occur with rental homes. Although larger property management companies usually have the resources to handle these situations, many property managers have to spend their own time and money to get rid of the junk.

And, unfortunately, most of the abandoned items are seen as worthless “junk” the tenants didn’t bother taking and now need to be gotten rid of.

Property Management Involves Cleanouts

Property managers and rental professionals also work with rental homes, vacation properties, duplexes, triplexes, and other types of leased properties. Tenants might fill these rentals with large amounts of furniture and belongings which end up getting left behind when they move out.

As every property manager knows, each day the rental property sits unoccupied is a day without rental income. tweet this

And, like apartment managers, they can be overwhelmed by the task of junk hauling. Since these units can’t be leased until the junk is removed and the property is cleaned. As every property manager knows, each day the rental property sits unoccupied is a day without rental income.

Recycling During a Foreclosure Cleanout

Junk disposal does not always mean going into landfills. In fact, junk hauling and junk disposal can actually contribute to recycling efforts when done correctly. Because there can be a wide variety of items involved in a foreclosure cleanout.

the do you really need it checklist

By being aware of these materials and being intentional with our junk disposal practices we can make a huge difference. Foreclosure cleanouts can generate large amounts of trash and junk, and most of it is made of recyclable material. The point here is that not everything that gets hauled away during a foreclosure cleanout will go to the dump, especially when you have Junk King handle it for you.

Junk King is proud to be North America’s greenest junk removal service. In 2205 we pioneered recycling-based junk removal and have been striving to be greener ever since. We sort the items we haul away with every foreclosure cleanout for metals, e-waste, paper, household goods, textiles, furniture and appliances, in our recycling warehouses.

Any broken appliances or metal junk that we haul away will be taken to a local recycling center where the scrap metal will be broken down properly and sorted.

Whenever Junk King performs a janitorial service on a foreclosure home, we use green cleaning products and materials to perform a thorough, entire-house disinfecting and cleaning. Call Junk King right now for all your eco-friendly foreclosure clean-out needs.

Large Item Removal

Have to remove large items like furniture and appliances can be quite a task. In addition to breaking down and carrying these heavy items out of the house, they have to be disposed of properly. Most cities do not allow furniture items to be left on the curb and arranging for your trash hauling company to pick up items - assuming they will - is often inconvenient and you still have to do all the heavy lifting.

If you are cleaning out a foreclosed home or conducting an estate cleanout, what do you do with old appliances that don't work and can't be donated? And what about the old furniture that no one would want and was left behind?

Sometimes, the best option is to simply have them removed and disposed of. But if you've decided to toss out the old, broken-down appliances or unwanted furniture, what are your options?

In most situations, you have three options:

  • You can use your own truck or a rental to haul the appliances or furniture to the local landfill. This isn’t an option for everyone, however, and it’s hard and dangerous work.
  • A second option is to hire someone to haul the items away. This is an easy approach if you can find someone reliable. But there are also landfill fees to consider.
  • A better approach to have a professional foreclosure cleanout service like Junk King haul away these large items for recycling.

This option makes sense, too, when you consider that many counties and municipalities have enacted Zero Waste and Landfill Diversion initiatives to increase recycling efforts and reduce overall waste and landfill use.

Having us take these large items often makes more sense than trying to donate them, since the equipment is close to breaking down if they haven’t already. Even large appliances like refrigerators are candidates for professional recycling. Hiring a professional firm for large junk removal items like appliances or furniture makes sense as there’s no easier way to get rid of them.
