Pre House Sale Cleaning Jobs in Melbourne CBD
A pre house sale clean is a full detail clean before a home is photographed for sale. Cleaners with Nest and Nurture Society take home a minimum of 50 dollars per hour, and pre house sale jobs charge out higher than standard cleans because they run to a fixed listing deadline.
Flat $20/hr fee, never a percentage. Weekly Wednesday pay. Hiring across Melbourne CBD, Southbank and Docklands.
Apply to clean with usWhat a pre house sale cleaning job actually involves
Pre house sale cleans prepare a home for the real estate photographer and the first open for inspection. The job is a full home detail clean -- kitchen including all appliances, bathrooms polished, and windows cleaned inside -- booked as a one-off rather than a recurring visit. Melbourne CBD and Southbank jobs are almost always apartments, so the work is a full-unit reset rather than a large house, and it is scheduled against a firm date: the agent needs the property photo-ready before the listing goes live.
Because the deadline is fixed and the standard is high -- buyers decide how they feel about a home within seconds of the first photo -- pre house sale work is treated as priority work on the system, and it charges out higher than a standard recurring clean. The business keeps a flat $20/hr fee regardless of the job rate, so a higher-paying job means more in the cleaner's pocket, not more for the agency.
What cleaners take home on pre house sale jobs
Flat $20/hr fee. The cleaner is paid the job rate minus that fee, and keeps the full upside on every higher-rate job.
$50/hr is the minimum, not the cap. Pre house sale and other deadline-driven work pays above the standard rate.

Working in Melbourne CBD, Southbank and Docklands
Pre house sale listings in the CBD footprint are overwhelmingly apartments -- high-rise towers in Southbank and Docklands, and mid-rise stock closer to the Queen Victoria Market end of the CBD. Most buildings run a concierge desk and a service lift, so jobs here come with building access notes before you arrive: who to check in with, which lift to use, and whether a loading dock booking is needed. Free tram travel around the CBD grid keeps gaps between back-to-back jobs short, which matters on a day with a real estate deadline attached.

Every job on the Nest and Nurture Society system has a full booking price that the cleaner sees before accepting. We take a flat $20 per hour. Everything else is the cleaner's. There are no percentage deductions, no hidden platform fees and no surprises at pay time.
