As a real estate agent, you have many things on your plate. This is especially true if you deal with foreclosed homes or homes being sold as-is. These homes as well as those that have been inherited or that were rental properties the owner is now attempting to sell off may not be in the best shape. They may also have some junk or abandoned property inside that needs to be removed before repairs can be made or the property shown. If you regularly deal with properties like this, you need a reliable partner to handle the trash. Junk King of North Houston is your ace in the hole for these properties.

Why Do Real Estate Agents Need Junk King?

There are many reasons why you may want to partner with a junk removal service. You may not have the time or resources to clean out these properties yourself. Some may be so bad that you don’t even know where to start. The previous owners or tenants may have simply walked away, especially if they were not current on their mortgage or rent.

No one else is going to clean out the junk left behind, especially on a foreclosed home. In this case, the bank or lender simply wants to offload the property as soon as they can to make back a little bit of the money they’ve lost. If you’re an agent who often works with these lenders, you know you’re not going to get the same amount of cooperation from these organizations as you would from a private seller.

You could leave it for the new buyers, but few people want to buy a house full of garbage. Those who do are often flippers looking to pay as little as possible for a property. The less they pay, the lower your commission is. Let’s look at these reasons more in-depth so you can have a better idea of how exactly Junk King of Houston North can help your real estate business.

Junk King Saves You Time and Money

As a real estate office, you and your team are focused on promoting houses and closing deals. You work tirelessly to ensure your clients get the best deal for their home, whether they’re buying it or selling it. You don’t have the time to clean out properties, nor do you have the expertise to do so quickly and effectively.

Junk King does. Our crew has cleaned out homes full of garbage. We’ve worked on some of the worst hoarder houses you can imagine, so your properties won’t shock us. We will come in and get to work right away. Our employees are trained to understand how to safely remove heavy, bulky, and awkwardly shaped items. Where others may injure themselves or damage the walls or doorframes trying to get these things out, we won’t. We also have the proper safety equipment and other tools needed to move even the heaviest items.

Because we quickly clean out properties, you don’t have to wait as long to photograph them or show potential buyers the space. If the seller is going to renovate, they can also get to work right away. This cuts down the amount of time the property sits empty. The faster you can get it on the market, the less time the seller has to continue paying the mortgage on the property or handling the upkeep.

Empty Properties Sell Faster

Another reason to have Junk King come in and empty out a home is to sell it faster and easier. While staged properties do sell very quickly, that’s not always an option if the seller doesn’t want to pay for staging or if it’s a foreclosure property. In these cases, the seller often simply wants to offload the property as quickly as they can.

If the home is full of garbage, it can be very difficult for potential buyers to get past what they’re seeing. Instead of imagining a cozy home full of their own furniture, they see broken appliances, piles of trash, and other junk. They also see that they’re going to have to do a lot of work cleaning out the property before they can even think about transforming it into a home someone would want to live in. Even flippers may have reservations about taking on a junk house, especially if they haven’t been flipping homes very long.

Homes that are full of old furniture and other garbage also look smaller. Large items draw the eye and make it harder to get a feel for how big a room actually is. The same is true if you have a lot of small items or bags of trash in a room. The more clutter there is, the smaller and more claustrophobic the space will feel. By emptying it out, a property will look and feel much larger than it actually is, helping it sell faster.

Let Us Improve a Home’s Curb Appeal

Real estate experts know that often, potential buyers have already made up their minds about a home before they even walk in the door. They judge it from how it looks from the curb. If a home has low curb appeal, it often doesn’t matter how great the house looks inside. The potential buyers may decide to not even bother because of how the house looks from the outside.

While we don’t help with peeling paint or broken windows, Junk King can help remove junk and other debris from the property. We will even deal with yard debris. You can send in your landscapers and tree trimmers to give the yard an overhaul, then call us to haul away all the limbs, dead bushes, and other garbage. We can clean out sheds, garages, and other outbuildings, too. If you’ve demolished an old shed, we will even haul it away. When we’re done, the property will look so much better.

What We Haul Away Here at Junk King of North Houston

We will haul away just about everything you have on hand. While other junk removal companies may have some limits on what they will take, Junk King doesn’t. The only thing we won’t take is hazardous waste. We handle everything else, including furniture, appliances, electronics, mattresses, yard debris, and construction waste. 

To hire Junk King North Houston to take care of your junk, all you have to do is call, text, or send us an online message. We will provide you with a free, no-obligation quote. We will even come to the property to do a full walk-through if you have a lot of junk. Often, we can give you a quote right then and there. We may even bring one of our large trucks with us. If you accept the quote, we can go to work right away. This means it’s possible we will be able to clean out the property on the same day you call us. You can then immediately go to work selling it.

Anything that is truly trash will be disposed of, but we do try to recycle or donate as much as we can. We believe in protecting the environment by reducing how much goes into landfills. We will sort out any recyclable materials from the junk we collect and take them to a local recycling center. We also take gently used furniture or appliances that still work to a local charity or other organization that helps those in need. In the end, we typically recycle or donate over 90 percent of everything we collect.

Junk King Also Offers Dumpster Rental

If you have a home the seller needs to do some work on, we can also help by bringing one of our dumpsters. We rent dumpsters on a three-, five-, or seven-day schedule. Once the dumpster is full or your project is finished, just give us a call and we will come pick it up. This often works better for homes that need some remodeling. The renovation team can fill up the dumpster as they complete demo. This way, you don’t have debris piling up or need us to come every day.
