The service

The short answer
A rental unit turnover, also called make-ready, is the set of tasks between one tenant leaving and the next moving in: a walkthrough against the move-in condition, a deep clean, touch-up paint, small repairs and a written condition report with photos. Rental Unit Turnover / Make-Ready Package in Ross is booked through pros who cover its 1 ZIP codes, in neighborhoods such as Ross Common, Winship Park, and Shady Lane. In Ross, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain. On NorTech you add the unit, choose from independent pros who work in the area and see each rate before you choose, then approve the hours before billing.

Before you book rental unit turnover / make-ready package
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Share the move-in inspection
Put the original move-in condition report and photos where the pro can see them. A turnover walkthrough is only meaningful when it compares the unit to how it started, and it saves time on every disputed mark.
Confirm the key and access plan
Decide who lets the pro in, whether the unit is vacant, and where keys are returned. A lockbox code and a named contact in the booking notes prevent the most common reason a turn visit stalls.
Take your own photos at keys return
A quick set of phone photos the day keys come back gives you a record before any cleaning or repair changes the evidence. Walk each room, including inside closets and under sinks.
List repairs you already know about
Tenant requests, maintenance tickets and the last inspection often hold known items such as a running toilet or a loose rail. A single list lets the pro price the time honestly.
Sort what is staying and what leaves
Say whether blinds, appliances and window coverings belong to the unit. Left-behind items should be cleared first so the cleaning and painting crews can reach every wall.
Pick the paint you want matched
If the unit has a standard color, leave the can or the color name and sheen on site. Spot touch-ups only look right when the sheen matches the existing wall.
