Do you use an inspector?

Ashley Bitner
Posted

I just listened to an STR podcast and they were discussing an inspector - someone that comes in after your cleaning team to basically do a QC check before new guests arrive. They check that all the light bulbs are working, TV remote, etc. etc. They also leave a little handwritten note for the guests. I'm only a year into this so I am my own cleaner and inspector. It did get me wondering though, how many of you use an inspector to come in after your cleaning person leaves?

I do not. My cleaner takes photos before & after cleaning. Before to use for my review, after so I can see the condition the property was left for the guest. In addition to that, we do monthly visits to our out of state properties & weekly visits to our in state properties.
