How To Prep Rental Between Tenants?

[Jay Flaggs]

I have a residential property that will be vacant for a short time while and I'd like to know some of the ways you prep the home for viewing and new renters.

The previous renters left the house in good condition, but they did leave holes in the walls, scuffed paint, and scuffed floors. Very general wear and tear. It seems like this is a such routine job, but I can't think of an exact job description that fits -- let alone where to search for said individual!

I've considered creating a Craigslist post, looking on upwork, and even hiring a PM (expensive). How would you go about finding someone who can quickly and reliably prepare your rental for the next tenant? Please be specific.

@Johnathan Flaggs I would call a few of the large Molly Maid type companies and ask if they have a rental make ready crew that can spackle nail holes and remove scuff marks from floors. If no, you might ask to talk to a manager and ask if he or she has a suggestion or recommendation for someone to do repairs prior to cleaning.
