How to create your first bond cleaning listing

Creating a clear, accurate listing helps cleaners bid fairly and reduces disputes. Here's how to list your bond clean on Bond Back.

Before you start

• Know your move-out date and property address (suburb/postcode).
• Have a few photos of the property (optional but recommended) so cleaners can assess the job.
• Decide whether you want auction (reserve) or Buy Now (see How to set a fair reserve price and auction duration).

Step-by-step

1. Go to your dashboard and click Create listing (or go to Listings → New).
2. Enter property details:
   • Title — e.g. "3-bed house, North Sydney – bond clean"
   • Property type — House, unit, apartment, etc.
   • Bedrooms and bathrooms — Accurate numbers help cleaners price correctly.
   • Suburb and postcode — So cleaners can check travel and availability.
3. Add a short description — Mention any special requirements (e.g. carpets, oven, balcony, pest treatment). Tip: Refer to your lease or property manager's checklist so the clean meets their standards.
4. Upload photos (optional) — Before shots help cleaners understand the condition and scope.
5. Set pricing:
   • Reserve price — Minimum you'll accept (in dollars). Cleaners will bid at or above this.
   • Buy Now (optional) — Fixed price for instant acceptance.
   • Auction duration — How long the listing stays open for bids (e.g. 3–7 days).
6. Add move-out date and any special instructions (access, keys, checklist).
7. Review and publish — Once live, cleaners can bid or Buy Now.

Tips for a smooth job

• Be honest about condition (e.g. heavy grease, pet hair). Cleaners can then bid accurately.
• Mention if the property manager will do a final inspection and what they check — this is standard for Australian bond returns.
