After four decades in the cleaning industry, I’ve learned that consistency, reliability, and results are what truly earn trust—especially from real estate professionals. At Karen’s Green Maids, our mission has always been to make move-out transitions seamless and spotless. That’s why realtors across Chicago regularly recommend us to their clients. Whether it’s a first-time apartment renter or a seasoned homeowner, our move-out cleans help properties shine at final walkthroughs and photoshoots alike.

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with countless real estate agents, brokers, and property managers. Realtors are in a fast-moving business, and they need a cleaning partner who shows up on time, completes the job right the first time, and communicates clearly. We’ve developed long-standing partnerships with more than 20 Chicago-based realty offices who trust us to prepare listings for the market or help tenants leave homes in pristine condition.

With more than 8,000 move-outs completed in the Chicagoland area, our track record speaks for itself.
