Getting Properties Move-In Ready Fast

Make-ready refers to getting a rental property cleaned, repaired, and prepared before a new tenant moves in — painting, patching drywall, replacing fixtures, and deep cleaning.

In practice

A property manager contacts CRM Services to complete a full make-ready on a 2-bedroom unit.
