Free Foreclosure Cleanout Service
Service Agreement
Walk into a foreclosure without a signed contract and you're just a volunteer hauling hazardous rot on your own dime. One 'unexpected' asbestos discovery or a slip-and-fall lawsuit will strip your bank account faster than a copper thief in a basement.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a 'Hazardous Materials Discovery' clause so you can hike the price or kill the job the second you find mold, lead, or needles buried in the trash.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Foreclosure Cleanout Service, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when the bank adds 'just one more room' after I've already quoted the job?
That's scope creep and it'll bleed your profit dry. Your contract needs a Change Order provision that requires a signed price adjustment before you touch a single extra bag of trash—no signature, no hauling.
How do I stop these big asset managers from ghosting me once the dumpsters are full?
Stop working on a prayer and write strict 'Net-15' or 'Payment on Completion' terms into the deal. A signed agreement gives you the teeth to file a mechanic's lien on the property so you get your money when the house sells.
Am I liable if I toss something the previous owner later claims was a family heirloom?
You are if you're working without an 'Abandoned Property' clause. Your agreement must state that everything on-site is legally considered debris, which shifts the liability to the client and keeps you out of a courtroom.
