Selling your metro Detroit home – what does broom clean mean?

When you sell your metro Detroit home almost all purchase contracts say that the home must be broom clean? What does broom clean mean? It does not mean that the rugs have to be shampooed or the windows washed. It would be nice if you ran a vacuum over the carpet and cleaned up anything that is very dusty. What broom clean means:
- No leftover paint cans
- No bags of garbage left in the garage
- No scrap wood that you saved for years left in the garage
- No bags of clothing left for donation
- No half used bags of concrete in the shed
- No broken bird baths in the yard
- Nothing left in the attic
- No broken or old tools left
- Cabinets cleaned out
