Every day a unit sits vacant is rent that doesn't come in, and the gap between the tenant leaving and the next one moving in is mostly made of waiting. Waiting for someone to write up what needs doing, waiting for the right contractor to be called, waiting for the first job to finish so the second can start. The move-out inspection already contains the answer to what needs fixing. The delay comes from the handoff between that inspection and the work. This guide covers how to turn move-out findings directly into assigned make-ready service orders, so the work starts while the unit is still being handed back. If you want turnover jobs raised straight from the inspection, book a demo.

Where Turnover Time Actually Goes
Findings sit in a report nobody acts on yet
The inspection is finished, but the list has to be retyped into requests before anyone is called.
Jobs get booked one after another
When trades are lined up only after the previous one finishes, each handoff adds days that overlapping bookings would save.
No one can see how far along the unit is
Without a single list, "is it ready yet?" turns into a round of calls to every contractor.
Start Before the Keys Are Back
Because the findings are already recorded with photos and the property attached, each one can become an assigned service order immediately. Trades whose work doesn't depend on each other can be scheduled at the same time, and the whole make-ready list stays visible in one place until every job is closed and the unit is ready to show.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I create the make-ready jobs during the move-out walkthrough?
Yes, findings recorded on site can be converted into service orders right there, so the work can be assigned before you leave the unit.
Can I reuse the same make-ready list for every turnover?
Yes, a standard set of turnover tasks, such as deep clean and touch-up paint, can be saved and added to each unit alongside the specific findings.
How do I know when the unit is fully ready?
The unit's make-ready jobs are listed together with their status, so it is ready when every order on the list is closed.
Can the move-out findings also support a deposit decision?
The recorded findings and photos stay on the unit's record, which gives you documentation to refer to. How a deposit is handled depends on your lease and local rules.
Shorten the Gap Between Tenants
Move-out findings become assigned jobs right away, so the unit is back on the market sooner.
