What does broom swept mean?
We're selling our home, what does broom swept mean? We're conscious people and want to provide a clean environment, but I also don't want to go overboard and burden ourselves unnecessarily.

It means exactly what it sounds like: the house must be completely cleared of your personal belongings and trash, the floors must be swept or vacuumed, and the counters wiped down. You do not need to hire a professional deep-cleaning service or steam the carpets unless it was specifically written into your sales contract. Just leave it empty and tidy.

Great question! “Broom swept” is a common real estate term that means the home should be free of personal belongings and reasonably clean, but not necessarily deep-cleaned like a hotel or professionally detailed.
