Pre-Listing Cleaning for Home Sellers and Agents
Limpieza La Yaquesita cleans Arizona homes before they go on the market, so the house is ready for listing photos, open houses and buyer showings. You or your agent tell us the photo date and the first showing, a person reviews the request, and you get a written estimate that lists every room and task.
Who books it
- Sellers who are still living in the home and want it ready for photos and showings
- Listing agents preparing a client's home, with the seller's permission
- Investors and flippers finishing a property before it is listed
- Heirs and family members getting an estate home ready to sell
If the home is already empty and you need it ready for the buyer's final walkthrough, book a move-out clean instead. For new construction or a fresh remodel, see renovation cleaning.
When to schedule it
- Before listing photos. One or two days before the photographer, after repairs and painting are done.
- Before an open house. A shorter reset of kitchen, bathrooms, entry, floors and glass.
- Between showings. A recurring light reset while the home is on the market, on a schedule you and your agent choose.
Pre-listing checklist
Kitchen
- Counters, backsplash, sink and faucet cleaned and polished

Bathrooms
- Toilets, tubs, showers and sinks cleaned and disinfected
- Hard-water spots and soap scum removed from glass and fixtures

Living areas and bedrooms

For real estate agents
Limpieza La Yaquesita works with listing agents who need a home ready on a deadline. You can send a request for your seller, with their permission, and tell us who receives the estimate and who approves it. We schedule around your photographer, stager and open-house dates, and we send updates to the contact you name.
- One request per listing, with the photo date, open-house dates and showing schedule
- Access arranged with you or the seller after booking, never through the website form
- A written estimate for each home before we start
- Resets between showings, if the listing needs them

Selling in Arizona
Desert dust settles on sills, blinds and fans within days, and hard water leaves white spots on shower glass and faucets that show up in photos. If the home is vacant in summer, keep the air conditioning running on the cleaning day; an empty house with the A/C off gets too hot to clean safely. Tell us on the form if the utilities will be off.
Not included
- Staging, decorating, decluttering or organizing
- Hauling furniture, junk or donations
- Repairs, painting, touch-ups or replacing bulbs and filters
- Carpet shampooing, upholstery cleaning and floor refinishing
- Exterior windows, pressure washing, patios and yards unless listed on your estimate
- Mold, biohazards, pest waste or hoarding cleanup
How it works
- Send the request. Choose "Pre-listing" on the home form and add your dates.
- A person reviews it. We reply within two business hours, during business hours (Mon–Fri 8am–5pm), with questions or a written estimate.
- You approve the estimate. Nothing is scheduled until the seller, or the person they name, approves it.
- We clean to that scope. If something outside the estimate comes up, we ask before doing it.
How the price is set
A pre-listing clean is priced from square footage, bedrooms and bathrooms, the home's condition, whether it is occupied or vacant, the add-ons you choose and how many visits the listing needs. Photos of the kitchen and bathrooms help us estimate.
What we need to quote
- ZIP code, square footage, bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether the home is occupied or vacant
- Photo date, open-house dates and showing schedule
- Who approves the estimate: the seller, the agent or both
- Optional photos of the kitchen and bathrooms
Questions
Something else on your mind? Send us a message.
Can you clean on short notice before a showing?
Ask us. Send the date and time on the form, and we tell you plainly whether a crew is available. We do not promise a time until it is confirmed in writing.
Can my agent book the cleaning for me?
Yes, with your permission. Tell us who approves the estimate and who should receive updates.
Do I need to be home?
No. Many sellers leave access with their agent or a lockbox. We arrange access after booking; the website form never asks for codes.
Do you stage or declutter the home?
No. We clean. Clear the counters and put away personal items before we arrive so the crew can reach every surface.
