HOME STAGING CLEANING SERVICES
TORONTO

Serving Toronto, North York Etobicoke and Scarborough

Partnering with Toronto Home Stagers 
and Realtors to provide clients with the 
Best Cleaning Services in the City.

CUSTOM MAIDS has the experience and expertise 
to meet all of your home staging cleaning service needs.

Established in 1978, we are Toronto’s First and Original Home Cleaning Service. We’ve spent almost five decades perfecting our service, and, today, we’re proud to provide expert cleaning services to home stagers, realtors, property managers and AirBnB operators throughout Toronto.

We hope you’ll consider partnering with Custom Maids
for YOUR home staging cleaning service needs.

Here are a few of the ways that we can help you . . .

GETTING A HOME READY TO SHOW

Obviously, homes that command the most attention in a competitive market are those that look their best. And, as you know, many full-service realtors hire professional home stagers to ensure that their listings show well and draw high-quality home buyers ready to pay a higher price.

But home staging doesn’t come cheaply, and a growing number of homeowners – especially those with homes in lower price ranges – are unwilling to cover or share in the cost for professional home staging. In such cases, the only option for the agent is “economical do-it-yourself home staging,” 

Whether you’re a home stager or a real estate agent handling your own home staging,
CUSTOM MAIDS can help you get started with . . .

Home Organizing and Decluttering Services

Before Home Staging Cleaning Services can even begin, the first step is to mindfully decluttered and organise the home.

When “clutter” impacts the functionality of a home and makes spaces unusable, it’s difficult for buyers to imagine themselves living in the home. A CUSTOM MAIDS Housekeeper can assist your seller in decluttering and organising her/his home, which will make the home more appealing to potential buyers. The homeowner can work alongside our housekeeper or have the housekeeper take on the task independently.

Home Organizing and Decluttering Services

Home Staging Cleanup Service

Once a home has been organized and decluttered, it’s time to give it a top-to-bottom Deep Cleaning Service.

If you’re a Home Stager, we can do the job for you.  
If you’re a realtor undertaking a do-it-yourself home staging, we can help you too. When your client doesn’t have new appliances in the kitchen, we’ll make sure that the existing ones are spotless. And when the bathroom fixtures are old and dated, we’ll scrub them until they sparkle like new. 

We’ll give the home a detailed DEEP CLEANING SERVICE from bow to stern, sure to impress even the most discerning potential buyer.

Sporadic Home Cleaning Services

(on an “as-needed” basis)

When you have an open house or showing, you can schedule us for a one-off, spruce-up cleaning service (the day of or the day before), so we can whip the home into shape and give it the touch-ups it needs to be warm and inviting for your event.

Recurring Home Cleaning Services

(on a regular ongoing basis)

If you want to ensure that the home is ALWAYS presentable and ready for showing,
you can set up ongoing cleaning services – twice weekly, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.

AFTER A HOME HAS SOLD

To help your clients ease the transition from their former home to their new home, we offer three services which they may find helpful . . .

Move-Out Cleaning Services

(at the former home)

Regardless of how well a home is maintained, it always needs cleaning service once it’s emptied of furniture and the movers have left their scraps and debris behind. 

CUSTOM MAIDS’ Move-Out Cleaning Services will ensure that the home is as good as new before the new owners take possession.

Our Move-Out Cleaning Service provides great relief for the seller (who wants to focus on her/his new home). And, of course, it can be mentioned as a “bonus” when negotiating the sale with the buyer.

Move-Out Cleaning Services

Move-In Cleaning Services

(at the new home)

While your client is busy wrapping up the packing at her/his former home, CUSTOM MAIDS can provide Move-In Cleaning Service at the newly-purchased home.

We’ll ensure that the new home is spotless and ready to move in!  Your client will be able to put her/his dishes directly into spotless kitchen cupboards; put food stuffs directly into a clean fridge; prepare a first meal in an oven that looks like new; and use bathrooms that are spotless.

Unpacking Services

Custom Maids Gift Cards

In the fast-paced real estate industry, cleaning services are often used by real estate agents to demonstrate to their clients a high level of professional service. But the benefit of professional cleaning services is much more than that. Whether you’re a professional home stager or a realtor staging a property on your own, the money you spend on home staging cleaning service is an investment that will always pay off in the long run.

According to a survey conducted by the American National Association of Realtors, 78% of real estate agents think that a clean house is easier to sell, and 72% say that a clean property raises the cash value provided by purchasers.  

As one of our long-term Toronto real estate partners recently said,

"With real estate, presentation is everything. To drive sales and get the greatest price for my clients, I always insist that their properties be kept immaculately clean and tidy at all times. That’s why, before I even list a home, I usually encourage hiring Custom Maids Cleaning Service.. Cleaning a property consumes a lot of valuable time that I might otherwise be spending closing deals, so I need to get my clients hooked up with a cleaning service before we even get started.  It saves me time and it lessons my stress.”

There are many benefits for real estate agents who make use of professional cleaning services, including selling properties quicker, maximizing profits and freeing up time. 

As a Toronto home stager or real estate agent, time is your most crucial commodity. With all the responsibilities you have to juggle - marketing, client meetings, property viewings and negotiations - the last thing you need is to worry about where to find a good cleaning service.
