Cleaning

The house still needs to be cleaned, before a showing, after a pack-out, or just because it does. Someone has to book it and be there for it. That someone should be your account coordinator, not you.

Somebody still has to sweep the floor.

Your Otherside Life account coordinator books it and leaves the place spotless.

We book the cleaning service and brief them on the property, so nothing gets missed.

You see and can decline every vendor charge before it’s made, with a 24-hour window.

We stay reachable on the 24/7 concierge line the whole time this is being coordinated.

We coordinate the relationship with independent providers working under their own license.

Cleaning coordination is available through the marketplace at every tier.

The First 500 Hours

3hoursis the average time a family spends coordinating the cleaning.

That’s booking the service, briefing them on the property, and confirming the work afterward. Three hours is a small fraction of the roughly 570-hour total, but it’s still three hours lifted from a week that’s already asking too much of you.
