Estate Cleanout Frequently Asked Questions in Alta Vista, San Diego, CA
Will the neighbors know?
Crews work quietly and handle the job with discretion. Ask about arrival and parking details when you call. If a landlord needs to notify other tenants, that decision belongs to the landlord.
Can the house be sold after a cleanout?
Yes. Once it has been cleared and cleaned, and any repairs are done, a home can be listed or returned. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent.
