Foreclosure Cleaning Jobs Why and How to Target Landlords to Get Work
Author : Yuwanda Black
If you’re in the foreclosure cleaning business and you’re not targeting landlords, you could be missing out a great source of never-ending business. Why?
Because tenants are always moving in and moving out. And when this happens, it means that properties: have to be cleaned out, have stuff hauled away, have locks changed, are in need of painting and other repairs, etc. Recognize this?
These are all the services your foreclosure cleanup company can (should) offer. Following is some advice on how to go about adding landlords to your client roster.
Foreclosure Cleaning Business Owners: Minimum Services to Offer Landlords
Your “real estate cleanup” services list for landlords should include the following, at a bare minimum:
Cleaning after tenants move in and move out: eg, cleaning bathrooms, kitchen and all major appliances; floor care (replacing vinyl tiles, cleaning/repairing wood floors, shampoo and vacuuming carpet, etc.)
Trashout and/or debris removal and hauling: Disposing of any furniture, clothing and other items left behind
Minor Repairs (eg, repairing broken windows, cabinets and doors)
Lawn Maintenance: Cutting grass, trimming shrubs and overgrown trees, etc.
How to Market Your “Foreclosure Clean Up” Services to Landlords
You should market these services under the “real estate” cleanup division of your foreclosure cleaning company. These are the same services; it’s just that you’re marketing them a different way.
Why It’s Smart to Market as Real Estate Cleanup Company
Sooner or later home foreclosures will no longer top the news. And, it’s looking like it’s going to be later rather than sooner with the way the job market is responding. But, we digress. When the foreclosure crisis starts to let up, by marketing in this manner, you will still be able to grow your business.
In business, it’s call targeting a niche. You can selling the exact same product or service to different niches; it’s all in how you do it that counts.
Why Foreclosure Cleanup Is an Evergreen, Profitable Business Opportunity
As long as real estate is bought, sold (and rented), it will always need to be cleaned out, repaired and maintained. And that’s exactly what foreclosure cleaning companies like yours do.
How to Find Landlords In Your Area Who Need Your Services
The internet is an excellent tool for locating landlords. Simply go to your favorite search engine (eg, Google, Yahoo!) and type in “Your City, landlords”.
Some other phrases you can use to locate landlords to market your foreclosure cleaning services to are: “Your City, real estate investors”, “Your City, landlord groups”.
This is an excellent way to build your in-house email and direct mail list. The best part about this type of marketing - it’s free. And, one job can lead to a life-long client, as most landlords tend to be small operators and like to have dependable contractors they can count on for services like this when tenants are moving in and out.
