What is Broom Clean?
Have you heard of the term "broom clean"? This term is used to describe the condition in which a seller or renter must leave a home. Broom clean homes are, at a minimum, free of any excess stuff, such as personal items and debris, and have been swept or vacuumed.
An offer to purchase includes language that states a home shall be left in broom clean condition by the seller. Moving is a lot of work, and sometimes sellers simply run out of time to do a final sweep.
Why does cleaning your home and removing personal property matter? A home not in broom clean condition can delay the closing or, worse yet, the buyer may demand money off! Our job is to be aware of issues like this ahead of time. We find it vitally important to educate our sellers about these expectations set forth in the contract to avoid problems on closing day.
To steer clear of these costly delays, it's a great idea to use a reminder system. We have a great checklist to help sellers navigate through the move-out process. Please feel free to reference this list to help ensure you have a successful move and closing day.
Taking the time to broom clean your home before your closing day will save you money, time, and possibly the loss of the best-fitting buyer for your property!
